Matthew 11 (TBX)

1Ka Yesu neil qayeeng wei embei teyoxe e xe xel betiyeing xoumeeng yuw eno ma, moxo la nanghei inyon me la en embei na teyoxe me na neil qayeeng eivek beyeeng wei Galili nei.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Gyeik Yoan ngo eivek xeitueing en vati wei Kilisi di wong o, moxo wong e xe xel betiyeing la,Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3bei teling e, “Beip inye wang on tiwei tyek nam o, o xa mendi daxe tambiy bange?”to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Yesu neil elox, “Xam lox neil wou Yoan en vati wei xam ghe ngo me ghe wei yo:Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5Xel matekeing eno mend yeila, me xel wei vaxend nol eno di la, me xel wei wo vanei lepa eno wo nimzalek, me xel wei nenyend wo qatu eno ngo wou, me xel meyeing eno qandi lek, de Xoulek Nimza eno xel neil wou xel kanyoyeiw.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.

6Mata e na wou xel wei xel xe wongeingis se tei en qayeeng wei ay yo.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Ka Yoan xe xel betiyeing la veil, Yesu luk wou xel qendu yon en Yoan: “Xam ghe la tembuing bandaing nei bei na gwei vati? Ghet wei laweeng di vei elox me loum o?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?

8Wangwei na ma nei, yon xam ghe la being na gwei vati? Moux ti wei vunek en teimb nimza yo? Ma, xel eti yeiw wei mi vunek en teimb nimza eno mindei eivek king beeng.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.

9Woyom xam ghe la being na gwei vati? Poropet ti? Ee, a neil wou xam bei, Poropet tiyon ghanaw xel poropet ba veil.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Tambiy tine tiwei xel byex eivek xoulek eno nambei nye, “ ‘Wei, tyek a bong a xe nenyalesana ti na mamunghexeing en wang, tiwei tyek menyex wou sakwaing atax en wang o.’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.’

11A neil wou xam zonghek: Yoan Lipekeing ghanaw xel wei tayeiw wou xel lek tembuing ne yo leind, ekom e tiwei lei maeing eivek tete lalei wei tyoung gheyapu eno ghanaw e.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.

12Eivek bouk wei Yoan Lipekeing neil xoulek me elam tyip gweimbeeng ne, eno xel wo vevek nikanzek en na qou tete lalei wei tyoung gheyapu yo, de xel wo vevek nikanzek om inyon wo nimaying ngenong wou e.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.

13En xel poropet dalus me petieing neil qayeeng poropet me e lam tyip wou bouk wei Yoan o.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Me wangwei wa laleim devind bei na qou vati wei a neil ne, ond e yon Eliya wei embei nam o.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Tambiy wei nenya nale lek e yo, ond e ngo qayeeng tine.He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Tyek a neil qayeeng lek vati bei talex moux alis vex wei gweimbeeng ne? Xel on ambei yakyak wei mindei eivek beyeeng vateivek me mi taxe la wou xel bamba:To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17“‘Xa vei sakwep en xam, ekom xam seng aw, me xa wong lalo wei lalei pyaweing o, ekom xam seng wong talot.’‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18En Yoan lam eno se mi ya yaeing me num numeing, me xel neil, ‘Moxo memo ti toundei eivek e.’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Xomaxoneing Neu Moux lam ya yaeing me num numeing, me xel neil, ‘Wei, inye e wei mi zongaxei me num ngenong o. E yon gweleeng wei xel wei mi qou takis me sewokeing o.’ Ekom e xe lupeyei nimza yon talex bei e xe xuk on la bombek.”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.”

20Woyom Yesu neil beyeeng tiyon en ingwei mi wong lulvako eivek o, ekom xel on se pekwi xow.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21“Xam Korasin me xam Betsaida ghe gwaleeng amim en tyek xam a tulek nimaying. Wangwei lulvako wei a wong eivek xam eno xel bong eivek Taia me Saidon, on beip xel pekwi xow takwei nei me byex teimb wei talot o de ev vewev me pelei lek xow.“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.

22Ekom a neil wou xam bei, lek bouk wei Anutu embei bong qayeeng en xomaxoneing dalus eno tyek nimaying ngandoung qandi wou xam ghanaw veil nambei ingwei qandi wou Taia me Saidon o.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23De xam Kapenaom, tyek xel a zeim xam ghe zekna pu wei tyoung nei? Ma yo, tyek wa deteina beyeeng wei meyeing o. En wangwei lulvako wei a wong wou xam eno xel bong eivek Sodom, yond tyek Sodom na mi mendei me e nam atyip bouk tine is.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.

24Ekom a neil wou xam bei lek bouk wei ngoeing qayeeng eno tyek bo nimaying ngandoung wou xam ghanaw Sodom.”But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25Lek seivma tiyon Yesu neil, “Mang, a sanghoxe wang, Tambiy Ngandoung wei tyoung gheyapu me tembuing o, en nambei wang vun lulti beimambei ne veil xel wei lundpeyei me kwa nimza yo, dom ghe talex eyeip yaing wou xel yakyak.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.

26Ee Mang, en inye wang betiwou wamaxow xe woueing nalei nimza.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27“Lulul dalusateiv eno Mang toung eivek a memang. Xelti se yeimawou xomaxoneing Neu Moux qe Ma venaxow, me xelti se yeimawou Ma qe Neu Moux venaxow me eti yeiw wei Neu Moux beyal bei talex e wou xel o.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“Xam dalus wei ghe mi wong pok ngandoung me ghe mi qalei nimaying eno xam lam wou ay me tyek a bong xam ghe na mendei veil xuk wei xam ghe wong o.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Xam qalei a xe pelang maying lek xow me qou kwa wou ay, en a ne a laleing xeiles me laleing vevopeing, me tyek xam numim na mendei me na qou laweeng.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.

30En a xe pelang on levismaeing me a xe maying ne vevopeing.”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
