Matthew 11 (XSN)

1Malooka Yeso ka mare ozoola a atoma kai betuuru ka leere name, na ka ere aa rana me na ka ale aaka baale ka o zoola a topepeng to Galili.After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2A were me Yohana ko batisma kaya apate aa kwilǝ ana o ezaza epa eburu, nawa kone epa eka Almasipu ya eza me, nawa tong ana o tare o wai ara YesoMeanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3kane pirkǝ wai na, “Boa ondooka waya deya na, na te kare ayizi a ondo na?”to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4Na Yeso kabare nee na, “Kurǝna ka e bekaa Yohana epa eeka ee laka kangza ka ee kaa ekone,Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:

5obena arǝ na cǝ o laka ara, aa agǝdǝ neya teyeno, agangca ne kurǝ a sangsang, arara neya konaza ngmǝ, aa ya arsaza andaaka na gbwizǝ kangza a nya ana o dera cǝ oroka o lebo.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.

6Ondo okona oleba ondooka waata cǝwǝ aa zaa o eke lenyong le wai aza ong ne.”Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

7Nangka ne ale, na Yeso bore obeya angmǝ ka aromo a cake a zaa Yohana na, “E ale owake nee laka eya? E laka mawake maaka obere ya paba me na?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?

8Na ee surǝ ka e laka eya? Ondo ka wa amba madibi maa rere na? Aromo akwilǝ ogomo neya ambaza madibi maa rere.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.

9Na eya ee surǝ a laka me? Ondo obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili na? Nyimia, eyang bele oying na, wa dongdong kala ondo obeya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

10Ondo ona a wele aa zaa wai na, “Laka na, ma tong ka o otoma ong kawa kala a izi au, ondooka wayo babarau orona zongka o de.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.’

11Eyang dongdong belle oying, ata a tukǝ o ngmenga ondo a nyimi lerambo leena ka wa dukǝ Yohana o batisma ogonga ne, pate kaa nyimi, ondooka kala a be baate a togomo te zaa shili wa kala wai.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.

12O era a were o Yohana o batisma a deya o ngmeengme togomo te zaa shili teya kala o ara ozitǝ, ana o ote o zitǝ me neya yeme o emba togomo teme ka legoone.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.

13Nyimia apate ana o baya ngmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili kaa makili maa kaa Ashili a nya Mosa ne beke angmǝ aa zaa togomo te me zongka Yohana de.For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

14Kangza ee yo kabare ka letoma leena, Yohana waya a beka angmǝ aa zaa wai kaa a bena Iliya ya deya.And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

15Pate ondo teto to kona, awa kone.He who has ears, let him hear.

16“Ma erang kedeya aromo awere na keeya? Naa ayana aka neya cikǝ ara ejamane, aane rare eja eceya ene aane beyana,To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

17“‘Te ulubǝ ying tejebe, na eta e yowa leera ne, te beya leera le ma'ade na eta ee ruuzi ne.‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

18Lakana, Yohana wa de wata wa lyeeze aa wa soze ne, nane bekaana, ‘Cai! Waya ka o obere oburu.’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19Nangka Kena ka Oromo ka de na ka lyeeze aka soze nane bekaana, ‘Laka na ondo okala o ara o lyeeza ka o soza, beja bena o eesa emate makeke ka ana madinǝ!’ Pate kaa nyimi, a ebelo orosa Ashili, aa zaa gole o ai waya a rose edang.”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.”

20Naka bore ozurki a topepeng teeka ka kala ara o eza ogole o kai o tera ukpwei ne, obena aromo me neta ne kuri aa Ashili ne.Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

21E lyǝ udi Korasiya! E lyǝ udi Betsaida! Obekaana ogole o tera ukpwei ooka a eze a nyimi ying aa ezea Taya ka Sidon, eeya nee samba o kurǝ aa Ashili ka o rabo aane amba majankale ka o kareze mato apung ane.“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.

22Azaa nyimi, eyang belo ying, a lengme lo core angmǝ, ayo kala aa kona egonegone aromo a Taya ka Sidon azaa oying.But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23Bo ma Kaparnahum, oya gonta o bena aya zalara o aa zaa shili na? Nyimia taza ne, aya jǝpǝrǝ o araaka ana o gbwizǝ zene. Epa otera ukpwei ka a eze aa nyimi oo, eya aa eze a Sadoma, Sadoma me waayo tata a deya o ngmeengme.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.

24Aza nyimi, eyang bele oying, a lengme le o core angmǝ, ayo kala aa kona egonegone o makeke ma Sadoma baa zaa o.”But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

25A were namea Yeso ka bekaana, “Ate maa kona oleba o, Ateokora o zaa shili kaa deze, aa zaa obena ba baasa epaana a na o ama ka o rosa, na ba pari ara andaaka neta rosa eyapa ne.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.

26Nyimia Ate, enna eya epa eeka e kala o rera aa bo.Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27Ate ang wa nya ekeeya aa taara tong. Ondo ta rosa kena kame ne soona Ate me, kangza ondo ta rosa Ate me ne soona kena kame, kaa pate ondooka kena kame kaa yeme owore o wai.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.

28Deyana me pate o ying ana o zitǝ, ying ana o kona kaa be dengdeng, eyang nya ying o teseke.Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29Lyǝ na a lezara leng, ee eze epa eeka ang eze, obena mi ondo o nata ukpwei ya wai, ondooka wata ara ukpwei ne, eyo cǝ o nata anyong.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.

30Obena lezara leng ta poba ne, magogoro mang kangza ta dengdeng ne.”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
