Matthew 11 (CTH)

1Hottelah a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh hah kâ a poe hnukkhu, cangkhai hane hoi kamthang pâpho hanelah khopui khote tangkuem koe a cei.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Khrih ni a sak e pueng hah Baptisma kapoekung Jawhan ni thongim thung hoi a thai navah, amae a hnukkâbang kahni touh a patoun teh, a ka tho hane teh nang toung na maw.Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3Hoehpawiteh alouke maw ka ngaihawi awh han rah, telah a pacei sak.to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Jisuh ni, Jawhan koe cet roi nateh na thai awh e hoi na hmu awh e pueng hah dei pouh awh, atipouh.Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5Mit kadawnnaw ni kho a hmu awh toe. Kamkhuennaw ni lam a cei awh toe. Ka hrikbeinaw ni a thoung awh toe. Hnâpangnaw ni hnâ a thai awh toe. Kadoutnaw ni a thaw awh toe. Karoedengnaw ni hai lunghawinae kamthang a thai awh toe.The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

6Kai kecu dawk a lung ka pout hoeh e teh a yawhawi telah atipouh.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Ahnimouh a cei a hnukkhu, Jisuh ni Jawhan deingainae lahoi rangpuinaw a dei pouh e teh, nangmouh ni bang hmu hane lahoi maw kahrawng na tâco a vaw. Kahlî ni hon a nawi e phonaw khet hanelah maw na tâco awh.As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

8Hoeh teh, khohna kahawi ka khohnat e khet hanelah maw na cei awh. Khohna kahawi ka khonaw teh siangpahrang im doeh ouk ao.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.

9Profet khet hanelah maw na cei awh. Bokheiyah. Profet hlak kalen e lah ka o ka ti.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Cakathoung dawk thut e teh, khenhaw! na cei nahane lamthung ka rasoun hanelah kaie patoune hah na hmalah ka patoun ati navah ahni doeh a dei ngai nah.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11Atangcalah ka dei. Napui ni a khe e naw thung dawk Baptisma Jawhan hlak kalen e buet touh boehai kamphawng hoeh rah. Hatei, kalvan uknaeram dawkvah kathoungpounge hah ahni hlak a len han.Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12Baptisma Jawhan koehoi kamtawng teh atu totouh kalvan uknaeram hah a kâtuk awh. Kâtuk e naw ni hai thama lah a kâen awh.From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

13Jawhan a pha hoehnahlan totouh kâlawknaw hoi profet lawknaw ni na cangkhai awh.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Nangmouh ni ka lawk hah na thai panuek awh pawiteh ahni teh ka tho hane Elijah doeh toe.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Thai nahan hnâ ka tawn pueng ni thai naseh.He who has ears, let him hear.

16Hete miphunnaw hah bang hoi maw ka bangnue han vai. Pawi koe ka tahung e camonaw hoi a kâvan awh.To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17Kahawicalah ratoung tamawi ka tum a haiyah na lam awh hoeh. Khuika la sak nahaiyah na kap awh hoeh.‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Jawhan teh catnet laipalah a tho navah, kahrai ni a man e doeh bout na ti awh.For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Tami Capa teh canei laihoi a tho navah, ka carawng e, misurtui kâso e, tamuk kacawngnaw hoi tamikayonnaw e huiko lah kâsak e bout na ti pouh awh. Hateiteh, a lungangnae ni, a canaw a hlout sak telah a ti.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”

20Hatnavah, athaonae a kamnue saknae khonaw ni pankângainae a tawn awh hoeh dawkvah, hote khonaw hah Jisuh ni a yue.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21Oe! Khorazin, na yawthoe. Bethsaida, na yawthoe. Nangmouh koe thaonae hno ka sak e naw hah Taire hoi Sidon khonaw dawkvah ka sak boipawiteh, hotnaw ni buri kâkhu hoi vaiphu kâphuen awh vaiteh, pankângai awh han ei nan toung mah.“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22Atangcalah na dei pouh awh, lawkcengnae hnin dawkvah, nangmouh teh Taire hoi Sidon khonaw hlak na khang awh han.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Kapernuam kho, nang teh kalvan totouh tawm lah na kaawm ei nakunghai, phuen kho totouh pabo lah na o han. Na thungvah thaonae hno sak lah kaawm e naw hah Sodom kho dawkvah ka sak pawiteh, hote kho teh atu sittouh kangdout han ei.And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

24Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Lawkcengnae hnin dawkvah Sodom kho hlak hoe na khang awh han, atipouh.But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Hatnavah, Jisuh ni, kalvan hoi talai kaukkung a Pa, nang ni a lungkaangnaw hoi kathoumnaw koe kângairu hnonaw hah na hro teh, camonaw koe na pâpho dawkvah na lungmanae teh ka pholen.At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

26Oe apa hottelah na ngainae ao.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27A Pa nang ni hnocawngca pueng kai koe na poe toe. Pa laipalah apinihai Capa panuek hoeh. Capa hoi Capa ni a kamnue pouh e hloilah apinihai Pa teh panuek hoeh.All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

28Hno ka ri ni teh kapatangnaw kai koe tho awh, kai ni na kâhat sak han.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Kaie kahnam hah phawt awh. Kai koe kamtu awh. Kai teh lungdonae hoi lungnemnae lah ka o. Na hringnae ni kâhatnae a hmu han.Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie kahnam teh phu a nep. Ka hno hai a pâhaw, atipouh.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
