Matthew 11 (HLTMCSB)

1Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek hlainit a uen te a khah vaengah, amamih kah khopuei rhoek ah thuituen ham neh hoe ham te te lamloh thoeih.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Te vaengah Khrih kah bibi boeih te Johan loh thongim khui ah a yaak tih a hnukbang rhoek te a tueih.Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3Te vaengah, “Namah ah naka pawk, a tloe a ka lamso eh?,” patoeng a ti nah.to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “ Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pa uh.Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5Mikdael loh a hmuh tih aka khaem loh cet coeng. Hmaibae loh cing coeng, hnapang hnalol loh a yaak coeng. Aka duek khaw thoo tih khodaeng taengah olthangthen a phong coeng.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.

6U khaw kai kongah a khah pawt atah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Amih boeih a caeh uh phoeiah Jesuh loh hlangping taengah Johan kawng te a tong tih, “ Ba sawt ham nim khosoek khuila na caeh uh? Yilh loh a hlinghloek capu a?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?

8Tedae ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? a hnal la aka phuekhlaak hlang te nim? Himbai hnal aka bai ke manghai im ah om uh ke.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.

9Ba sawt ham nim na caeh uh? Tonghma a? Thuem, nangmih taengah kan thui, anih tah tonghma lakah olpuei ngai ta.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10‘Nangmih hmai ah kamah kah puencawn ka tueih ke. Anih loh nangmih hmaiah na longpuei a rhoekbah ni,’ tila anih kawng ni ana daek.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.’

11Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Huta kah a cun khuiah tuinuem Johan lakah aka tanglue phoe pawh, tedae vaan ram kah a yit koek pataeng anih lakah a tanglue la om.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.

12Tuinuem Johan tue lamloh tahae duela vaan ram te a ael thil tih, aka aelkung rhoek loh a poelyoe uh.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.

13Johan duela tonghma rhoek neh olkhueng loh boeih a phong coeng.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Tedae doe hamla na ngaih uh koinih, halo hamla aka cai Elijah tah Johan coeng ni.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.He who has ears, let him hear.

16Tedae hekah cadil he ba nen lae ka thuidoek lah eh? Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngol uh tih hlang tloe aka khue, aka thui camoe rhoek phek la om.To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17Nangmih hamla phavi ka tum uh akhaw na lam uh pawh. Hlo ka hlai akhaw na rhaengsae uh pawh.‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Johan ha pawk tih a caak a ok pawt hatah, ‘Rhaithae a kaem,’ ati uh.For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Hlang capa ha pawk tih a caak a ok hatah, 'Carhut neh yumi hlang la ke, mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a puei a po,’ a ti uh. Tedae cueihnah khaw a khoboe long ni a tang sak,” a ti nah.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.”

20Te phoeiah a thaomnah a kumngai a tueng sak kho rhoek te a yut uh pawt dongah ol a tong tih,Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21Anunae Khorazim nang te. Anunae Bethsaida nang te, Nangmih taeng ah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Tyre neh Sidon ah ka tueng sak koinih tlamhni, hmaiphu neh yut uh dingrhae pawn ni.“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.

22Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Tyre neh Sidon tah nangmih lakah a phoeng la om ni.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Kapernaum nang khaw, vaan duela na pomsang uh pawt nim? Saelkhui duela na suntla bitni. Nangmih taengah ka thaomnah ka tueng sak he Sodom ah tueng sak koinih, tihnin duela te om suidae.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.

24Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui. Laitloeknah khohnin ah Sodom kho tah nang lakah a phoeng la om ni,” tila a toel.But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Tevaeng tue ah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “ A pa, vaan neh diklai kah Boeipa nang kan uem tangkik, he rhoek he hlangcueih neh lungming taeng lamkah loh na thuh tih cahmang rhoek taengah na pumphoe coeng.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.

26Ue apa na hmaiah kolonah la a om tangloeng dongah ni.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27A pa loh kai he a cungkuem la m'paek coeng. Te dongah pa pawt koinih capa te a ming moenih. Capa pawt koinih pakhat long khaw pa te a ming moenih. Tedae u khaw a ngaih atah capa loh a pumphoe pah coeng.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.

28Hnorhih rhoek neh thakthae rhoek boeih te kai taengla halo lah, kai loh nangmih te kan duem sak ni.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Ka hnamkun he na pum dongah phuei uh lamtah kamah taeng lamkah he cang uh. Muelhtuet neh thinko tlayae la ka om dongah na hinglu ham duemnah na hmuh uh ni.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.

30Kai kah hnamkun tah kodam coeng tih ka hnophueih loh a yanghoep la om,” a ti.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
