Matthew 11 (WJA)

1Go̱ro̱ pu Yesu mata nyi̱i̱gu̱ kwati̱mba ya di̱kace̱ne̱, a du po̱o̱ wii a mwati̱ go̱ro̱ndi̱ tu ne̱m a wasi̱gu̱ ci̱ye̱u̱ yi̱ ju̱ku̱gu̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2Pu Yohanna wo̱o̱ jaru̱m a nu̱u̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ tu Masiya ni̱nggu̱, a tu̱m kwati̱mba ya,Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3ba pi̱ra Yesu ki̱n, <<Wo̱o̱ mo̱ wu bagu̱ wii ru? Yikwii yi yam wu kanggu̱ ru?>>to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Yesu sa pma ki̱n, <<Bu waatanga bu sa Yohanna yi̱ri̱ngi̱ tu bu nu̱u̱ wai yi̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ tu bu ko̱i̱,Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5kerma bo̱o̱ ko̱gu̱ si̱mau̱, gu̱wo̱ngi̱ bo̱o̱ ni̱nggu̱ so̱ngmau̱, babutanga bo̱o̱ yi̱langgu̱, bapi̱mba bo̱o̱ nu̱u̱gu̱ si̱mau̱, nu̱wa bu bwaanggi̱ wa a wunonggu yi̱ pi̱i̱ma, pero nu̱wa bo̱o̱ wasi̱man ci̱ye̱i̱ du teng baku̱u̱lu̱wa.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.

6Yamba diiman wuure pma bu waatan bu yi̱ go̱ro̱u̱ di̱ngi̱n mi wa.>>Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Pu kwati̱mba Yohanna wa mwatanga, Yesu toso sagu̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ nu̱wa bu ku̱ranggi̱ bu̱ri̱ wa a dwii Yohanna, <<Bu ambi̱ra su̱gu̱ ca a gu̱lai̱? Bu ambi̱ra su̱gu̱ si̱yang tu co̱ku̱ro̱k tu wutur mwangu ru?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?

8Ka yaa yi̱to̱ ne̱ bu twiyongo bu ko̱ ca ki̱? Ne̱re̱ wu pargi̱ se̱e̱ wu nyaa ru? Yaa yi̱to̱ nu̱wa bu pari̱ se̱e̱ wu nyaa bo̱o̱ caame̱ balambai.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.

9Mi̱n na, bu twiyongo bu ambi̱ra su̱gu̱ cau? Banabi̱ ru? N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, yo̱ a gwala banabi̱.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Wunaa yo̱ Yohanna wu Lakargar Yamba ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ dwii ye̱i̱ ki̱n, <N tu̱mmo̱ we̱i̱ ne̱re̱ tu̱mandi̱ mi gawu̱ri̱yo̱ yi̱ mo̱, wii yo̱ cardu we̱i̱ nyinou di̱ngi̱n bagu̱ mo̱u̱.>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.’

11N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ ji̱re̱ a mi̱ri̱nggu̱ nu̱wa bu nu̱ru̱mba bi pma wa, yaa wu gwala Yohanna wu Ni̱ng Bati̱si̱ma yi̱ gi̱ru̱. Anda wu banyi̱na a lau̱ ku diyou Yambau̱ a gwala Yohanna yi̱ gi̱ru̱.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.

12Toso jo̱r du Yohanna wu Ni̱ng Bati̱si̱ma wasi̱ ci̱ye̱i̱, baa di̱na jo̱re̱ lau̱ ku diyou a ti̱i̱ ku̱u̱le̱, nu̱wa bu bwi̱i̱ wa kasa ba je̱e̱ yi̱ di̱mbi̱re̱.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.

13Mwa mwa banabi̱ndi̱ yi̱ te̱e̱ri̱ngi̱ Musa a ce̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ dwii lau̱ ku diyou ko̱po̱ jo̱r Yohanna,For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14ka bu kasi̱ bu yi̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ dwii we̱i̱, Yohanna wo̱o̱ Iliya, wu banabi̱ndi̱ ce̱ bagu̱ yo̱u̱.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Yama ne̱re̱ wii twendi di̱ngi̱n nu̱u̱gu̱, ba ka twiyau.He who has ears, let him hear.

16Anda Yesu je̱ gawu̱re̱ yi̱ ci̱ye̱i̱ ki̱n, <<N ci̱pi̱ranu̱ we̱i̱ nu̱wa bu si̱na daandi yi̱ ca? Pma ci̱ka bakwara pi̱si̱ndi̱ nyan lummou. A yi̱yanggu̱ bu̱ri̱ pmai a ce̱gu̱ ki̱n,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17<Yi wuu mbi̱ri̱ bagaati, bu kwa sigu ko̱lo̱u̱! Yi pi̱i̱ mbi̱ri̱ pi̱i̱ bo̱o̱ri̱, bu kwaa wiye.>‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Pu Yohanna baa yaa je̱e̱ je̱e̱ndi̱, yaa naa gundu inabi, anda bu ce̱gu̱ mi̱n, yo̱ wo̱o̱ yi̱ wuture.For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Bo̱l Ne̱re̱ a ba a je̱gu̱ a naagu, bu ce̱gu̱ mi̱n, <Su̱wa yo̱ wo̱o̱ yi̱ swawu a je̱gu̱, a naagu, yo̱ yo̱o̱gi̱ basi̱n nu̱wa bu yi̱ri̱ janggal wa, yi̱ nu̱wa bu yi̱ we̱le̱m wa.> Anda pwi̱i̱ Yambai̱ ju̱ku̱r ki̱n twii ji̱re̱ a bo̱nggo̱ wu̱rang ye̱i̱.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.”

20Nu̱wa bu go̱ro̱ndi̱ tu Yesu ni̱nga yi̱ri̱ngi̱ ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱ tum dwii yaa ku ni̱nga bwiiwau, di̱ngi̱n to̱no̱ a ye̱re̱nga gwe̱i̱ dwii.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21<<Ai mba! Nu̱wa bu Korasin. Ai mba! Nu̱wa bu Betsaida! Di̱ngi̱n wu̱rang ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱ tu nu̱wa ni̱nga a mi̱ri̱nggi̱ mbi̱ri̱, ka nu̱wa na ni̱nga a Taya yi̱ Sidon we̱i̱, pma na ni̱nga bwiiwa ki̱lang, na te̱e̱ gusuringi pero na parni̱ buro dwii pmai!“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.

22N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱, a nyanggu̱ balu, Yamba nu̱u̱ we̱i̱ bunam nu̱wa bu Taya yi̱ Sidon yiku ba nu̱u̱ bunam mbi̱ru̱.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Bi̱ka nu̱wa bu Kaparnahum, bu dangani̱ mi̱n nu̱wa de̱mbi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ diyou ru? Kana banyi̱na, waka nu̱wa julumbiri we̱i̱ Hades! Ka yi̱ri̱ngi̱ ri̱yandi̱ bu̱ri̱ tu nu̱wa ni̱ngai̱ a bo̱nggo̱ mo̱, ka na ni̱ngwa Sodom wai, reni pma na bo̱o̱!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.

24N wo̱o̱ sagu̱mbi̱ru̱ a nyanggu̱ balu, Yamba nu̱u̱ we̱i̱ bunam gwe̱i̱ Sodom yiku ba nu̱u̱ bunam mbi̱ru̱.But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25A dwii jo̱re̱ Yesu ce̱ ku̱ru̱ ki̱n, <<Mbaa, mo̱ Mbaa Wu Gi̱ra wu yi̱ diyou yi̱ si̱ma, n wanami̱na, di̱ngi̱n mo̱ tuko ti̱na yi̱ri̱ngi̱ a bo̱nggo̱ pma bu pwi̱yanggi̱ wa yi̱ bu yi̱ so̱mandi̱, anda mo̱ ju̱ku̱ bakwara bu nyi̱ti̱ti̱ wa.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.

26Yi̱to̱ Mbaa, to̱o̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ ni̱ngwa ci̱ka ku̱ mo̱ kasu̱.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27Mbaa mi nyi̱i̱nggi̱ yi̱ri̱ngi̱ mwa mwa. Yaa ne̱re̱ wu so̱m Bwi̱ya wii bu̱r Mbaate̱, pero yaa wu so̱m Mbaate̱ bu̱r Bwi̱ya wii yi̱ bu Bwi̱ya wii kasa ba ju̱ku̱ pma Mbaa yo̱.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<<Bambe̱ bo̱nggo̱ mu, mba bu janganga pero de̱e̱gi̱ se̱e̱ ko̱mbu̱ro̱m wa, n nyi̱i̱ mbi̱r we̱i̱ yo̱ro̱nggu̱.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Bu de̱e̱ sou garama mu pero bu ti̱langa bo̱nggo̱ mu di̱ngi̱n n bu̱bu̱k yi̱ dwii du ci̱nggai̱, pero bu nyi̱nggu̱ we̱i̱ yo̱ro̱nggu̱ bo̱nggo̱ bawei.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.

30Di̱ngi̱n sou garama mu yaa ko̱mbu̱ro̱m, se̱e̱ wu n ce̱ri̱ mbi̱ri̱ we̱i̱ saki̱rak.>>For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
