Matthew 11 (STW)

1Igiwe Jesus a moannon akkiuneeor rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun iwe seig me riiurhai, a noa saengi pwiuneoi we iwe a noa fenai me oaronga fetaeneei wooan oanongaen aepinoamw kkewe pwiuneoi we.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Nge oatowe John Baptist a rongorong me noan imwaen kanepwus wunuunun engaang kkewe Kristus a feeorin, a fangenoa aaemweoi rhooan kkayeo kkewe naiun reen.Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3Iwe, ra aeiineow Jesus pwe, “Een miniwe re iura pwe epwe itto, aere aeipwe wewweti erhai?”to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Jesus a paniuwaeni pwe, “Oaw sefaaen noa oawwa aengaeni John minne oawwa rongorong me weri:Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5rhooa masparh ra ffatenoa, rhooa pirhemae ra faaeraeg, rhooa kaenepaai ra gacch noa, rhooa saeningapiung ra rongorong, rhooa mae ra menawtae, nge Kkepas Mwamwaai we a fenai ngaeniir rhooa affayeo.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.

6Ifa mwo wenepwuweer rhooa se tip mwaramwar reei!”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Oatowe rhooawe naiun John ra noa, Jesus a kkepas ngaeniir aeremas kkewe reen wunuunun John: “Igiwe oawwa noa reen John noan desert we, meeta minne oaw niuwaennei pwe oawpwe noa weri? Efoarh fetin e mwoaroro reen aaeng?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?

8Meeta minne oawnoa pwe oawpwe weri? Erhai mwaaen e memmengaag tae mengaag nning? Aeremas kka e ina wusun mengaagiiur nge reno noan imwaen king!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.

9Aengaeniaei, meeta rhag oawnoa pwe oawpwe weri? Erhai profeta? Ooa, ennetaen, oawwa weri erhai e taegias saengi erhai profeta.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Pwe John miniwe Pwapwior we e Santus e iura pwe, ‘Deus a kkepas, ngaang ipwene fangetiw naeyi rhooan pweipwogin kkepas me weni mmwoamw pwe epwe noa maeneti ennepoamw.’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.’

11Ennetaen, ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe John Baptist ina e taegias saengiir aeremas towunap kka reno wooan soanop. Iwe nge manna oarosaen git me noan Mweoiu Naaeng ina e taegias saengi John.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.

12Saengi rhag oaton we John Baptist a rhaepetae aan fenai toorito igina nge miniwe Mweoiu Naaeng a toonong noan waeiraes pwe aeremas aenneew ra fiiow wooan pwe repwe nemaeni.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.

13Toorito oatowe John a no, oanongeer profeta me Anniug kkewe aaen Moses ra aepesa wunuunun miniwe Mweoiu Naaeng;For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14nge aere oawwa niugiuw aar fenai, John nge iiy Elijah, iwe ra fasiun aepesa noa pwe epwe itto.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Iyo eyor saeningan, epwe rongorong!He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Iwe, meeta ipwe aweweei ngaeniir aeremesaen mweoi e igina? Ra aeffitaeg ngaeniir rhag wonigaet kkewe remooat noan nenien chuwaai. Eew mwiirh nge re iyaekkepwas ngaeniir aaemweoi,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17‘Aemaem aeiya pwan kker ngaenigaemi, nge aaemi oawse maan! Aemaem aeiya arhiuwerhiuw, nge aaemi oawse saeng!’‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Igiwe John a itto, e aecchigipin nge ese pwan iun wine, nge aeremas ra aepesa pwe, ‘Iiy eyor aniu aenneew wooan!’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Nge igiwe Naiun Aeremas e itto, a mwommwongo nge e iun, nge aeremas ra aepesa pwe, ‘Oaw pipiiy mwaaen een! Iiy erhai mwaaen mwongonap me iun wine, nge maereyaereer rhooan iyoiyon tax me rhooa monofit.’ Iwe nge minna repiaen Deus reepiy a pwae noa pwe ennet reen meeta a feeori.”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.”

20Aeremesaen aepinoamw kkewe Jesus a feeori towunepaen kkeman kkewe aan me ee ina rese toagun saengi aar monofit, iwe Jesus a soong ngaeniir.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21“Ifa mwo aenneewan ngaenigaemi, aaemi rhooan Chorazin me Bethsaida! Aere kkeman kka refeeori me wooan igeei minne refeeori me wooan Tyre me Sidon, ina nge aeremesaen aepinoamw kenaan a ssiunaei rhag aar memmengaag tutu nge re oamworomwor tae fenang wooar, pwe epwe pwae noa aar toagun saengi monofit!“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.

22Ipwe aengaenigaemi pwe noan Raaenin Apwiung nge Deus epwe faayeow re Tyre me Sidon me mmwaemi.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Nge een Capernaum! Wo tipaeni wopwe tooritae naaeng? Een wopwe ppiungiutiw noan nifierno! Aere kkeman kkewe effeeor me reemw epwan ffeeor me noan Sodom, epwe rhiuwen no rhag igina.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.

24Ipwe aengaenigaemi, pwe noan Raaenin Apwiung nge Deus epwe faayeow re Sodom me mmwoamw.”But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Reen oatowe nge Jesus a aepesa pwe, “Semaei, Soamwoonin naaeng me soanop, iya ngaenneog oamw aerhigerhig, pwe wa oapanoa minikkeei saengiir rhooa reepiy me metefaaegini, nge wa pwaeri ngaeniir rhooa kkewe reweer wonigaet.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.

26Ennet, Semaei, pwe ina minna wo tipaeni epwe wen.”Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27“Semaei a ngaenneaei oanongaen meeta. Esooar erhai ne e giuneei minna Naiun, pwe aeggaen minna Seman rhag, nge esooar erhai e giuneei minna Seman, pwe iiy rhag minna Naiun, iwe me iyo kena minna Naiun a finiir tae pwe epwe pwaeri ngaeniir.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.

28“Oaw itto reei oanongaemi rhooakkena oawwa aerhig reen pweipwogin mini cchoaw, pwe ngaang ipwe asseoseogaemi.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Oaw pwigi yoke e aaei nge oawwa iseni tae woami, nge oawwa kapwiung saengiaei, pwe ngaang itip maniuweniuw nge i mesoanosoan; pwe ina nge aaemi oawpwe meyaefi aseoseo.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.

30Pwe yoke e ngaang ipwene fang ngaenigaemi iye e mererhaeg, nge minne ipwe iseni tae woami oawpwe aiufera iye eppaen.”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
