Matthew 11 (IDC)

1IYesu ya kpẹẹ uma atina nga ushọ na apai upii ni, aba sang nga kọ ukadu ki ya mẹẹ na tẹri upii Ọnọng ka ufọng bọ.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Akyua ra ni iYahaya shi kidẹ ubọọ iting. Aya kọọ uma umani ukristi sọ ju ni, aba tuma atina nga kukushi ngaMeanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3ki ya ju nga si, “Ingọ shi aghọmani aki ba, ta ayọ kọ ica na ace aghọ ni?”to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4IYesu ba yira bọ si, “Inu kya kọ ya tẹri iYahaya imumani inu nu ki ba kọọ,Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5afoo peni ukyoo uka, aghọmani aka kyeng bọ ba kyeng, a hwuru aghọnọ ubili na ba na pipar, agbatọng kọọ atọng, ni aghọ ukpo sang, ni aghina amir kọọ ila ididuma.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.

6Anyu adaduma ni aghọmani ata kọọ nga ẹrẹbata uma aipang kaya mi ba.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Aya sang bọ ni, iYesu ba dẹẹ aghọ upii ni ikir bajiya kaya iYahaya, “Ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa unu ka aghumu? Ọbọng ọbgọlọgbang umani uwuu sọ ca bọ?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?

8Ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa unu? Ajiya umani asọmọ uma ọdọdọma? Aghọ shi kidẹ ugẹẹ agọm bọ ka sọmọ uma ọdọdọma.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.

9Ikẹmbọ ni inu kyaa unu? Atina Ọnọng? Ẹẹ, imẹ tẹri nọ, acẹẹ aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Aghọmani awọọ kaya nga wẹ si, ‘Uwẹ ni, imẹ tuma atuma mi ka la ngọ ite wọ, aghọmani aki keri ngọ utra ni ingọ tọ ba.’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.’

11“Aipang, imẹ si, ayiri sọ nọ kọ jee bọ ace anọ aghọ mani acẹẹ iYahaya aghọ uju iminimini nọ ọghọghẹ ba. Kindọ ni, aghọ cẹẹ nọ ọzọzi ki ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng ayaya cẹẹ nga.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.

12Kọ kpaa ka akyua iYahaya aghọ uju iminimini ki ba ta ka akyua ri ni, ẹrẹgọm Ọnọng ayaya kọ la ite ni agha sing wang yira na akyuọ.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.

13Ka aghọ pii kọ ọtọ Ọnọng kina umẹẹ iMusa kọ tẹri upii kaya ẹrẹgọm ni iYahaya kọ ba nga ba,For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14ni insi inu yira upii ni, anga shi Iliya umani aki ba ra.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Ta ni aghọ shi na atọng kọng, kọng.He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Ni ikẹmbọ ni imẹ ki mra ajiya akyua ri kọ? Ushi kini anọ bọ shi ka uka gheli na gbura ni na sọ yọrọ ayikyo bọ si,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17‘Ayọ pẹni igbẹẹ ni inu ta ya nọ ba! Ayọ taa nọ atẹ ukpo, inu ta ci nọ ba!’‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18“Ka iYahaya ba ni aka bira ngọ la na sa nagigang ba, ‘ni asi ashi na ushẹẹ.’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Anọ ajiya ba na sọ la na sa, ni asi, ‘Nu nga! aghọ bira ula kọnọ usa, aghikyo aghọ yira agonu kina aghọ uvulu!’ Kindọ ni, aka kpẹlẹ uye ukyuu Ọnọng ka uma uju nga.”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.”

20A dẹẹ kọ gẹr ufọng umani aju uma usa uwo ica wọ nagigang, ka ata ju bọ ọlọkpaa ba.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21Ọlọ ngọ, aKorasinu!, ọlọ ngọ, aBetsaida! Awasi uma usa uwo ica ri ni aju ka aTaya kina aSidon ni, ata kọ lọkpaa aiwuu ka sọmọ agẹẹ nọ uma kina utọ ki ẹrẹnọma bọ.“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.

22Ni imẹ sọ tẹri nọ, aki cẹẹ nọ kọọ ahwo aTaya kina aSidon kaya nọ ka awii ashuwa.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Ingọ ni aKafarnahum, ingọ kpaa si aki jọọ ngọ ka aya fuma ayaya? Kayi, aki waa ngọ ka akya bọ uka ci aghọ ukpo wọ. Awasi uma usa uwo ica ri ni aju bọ ka aSodom ni, uta kọ shi wọ kaidii.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.

24Ni imẹ sọ ba tẹri nọ si, awii ashuwa ni aki cẹẹ nọ kọọ ahwo ẹrẹbọ aSodom kaya ngọ.”But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Akyua ra ni iYesu tẹri si, “Imẹ sa ngọ izaa, Ate, Ate aYaya kina ashi, nọ umani ingọ shọ uma ri ka aghọ uye ukyuu kina aghọ shi nọ ukpili, ni ingọ sa yeni anọ azazi.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.

26Kindii wu Ate, imumani ishi ngọ ididuma yidii ni ingọ ju.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27Ate mi ma mi uma nadidu, ni ba aghọmani aye Anọ sa Ate, ni ba aghọmani aye Ate sa Anọ, kina aghọmani Anọ yoo ni, aka yeni nga.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.

28Inu ba ukushi mi aghọmani akọ kiya na aba ko akpara ọtọsọ, ni imẹ ki ma nu uwuru.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Inu kpaa akpara mi, inu mẹẹ kukushi mi, ka imẹ ni aghọ suu ni ẹrẹkwẹ nga, aghọ taa ẹrẹkwẹ ẹhwẹhwuọ, ka inu ki kọ peni uwuu ka ikwyi nọ.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.

30Ka uju mi ẹrẹgẹra lọ wọ ba, akpara mi shi na hau.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
