Matthew 11
English Standard Version
Messengers from John the Baptist
11 When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 (A)Now when John heard (B)in prison about the deeds of (C)the Christ, he sent word by (D)his disciples 3 and said to him, “Are you (E)the one who is to come, or shall we (F)look for another?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 (G)the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers[a] are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and (H)the poor have good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who (I)is not offended by me.”
7 As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (J)into the wilderness to see? (K)A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What then did you go out to see? A man[b] dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 What then did you go out to see? (L)A prophet?[c] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written,
(M)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
    who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 (N)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[d] and the violent take it by force. 13 (O)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (P)Elijah who is to come. 15 (Q)He who has ears to hear,[e] let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
    we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came (R)neither eating (S)nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came (T)eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (U)a friend of (V)tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[f]
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
20 (W)Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 21 (X)“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in (Y)Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 (Z)But I tell you, it will be more bearable on (AA)the day of judgment for (AB)Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, (AC)Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to (AD)Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 (AE)But I tell you that (AF)it will be more tolerable on (AG)the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”
Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
25 (AH)At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, (AI)Lord of heaven and earth, that (AJ)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (AK)revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your (AL)gracious will.[g] 27 (AM)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son (AN)except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone (AO)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 (AP)Come to (AQ)me, all who labor and are (AR)heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and (AS)learn from me, for I am (AT)gentle and lowly in heart, and (AU)you will find rest for your souls. 30 For (AV)my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
11 At nangyari, na nang matapos nang masabi ni Jesus ang kaniyang mga utos sa kaniyang labingdalawang alagad, ay umalis siya roon upang magturo at mangaral sa mga bayan nila.
2 Nang marinig nga ni Juan sa bilangguan ang mga gawa ni Cristo, ay nagpasugo siya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga alagad,
3 At sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw baga yaong paririto, o hihintayin namin ang iba?
4 At sumagot si Jesus at sa kanila'y sinabi, Magsiparoon kayo at sabihin ninyo kay Juan ang mga bagay na inyong nangaririnig at nangakikita:
5 Ang mga bulag ay nangakakakita, ang mga pilay ay nangakalalakad, ang mga ketongin ay nangalilinis, at ang mga bingi ay nangakaririnig, at ang mga patay ay ibinabangon, at sa mga dukha ay ipinangangaral ang mabubuting balita.
6 At mapalad ang sinomang hindi makasumpong ng anomang katitisuran sa akin.
7 At samantalang ang mga ito'y nagsisiyaon ng kanilang lakad, ay nagpasimula si Jesus na magsalita sa mga karamihan tungkol kay Juan, Ano ang nilabas ninyo upang masdan sa ilang? isang tambo na inuuga ng hangin?
8 Datapuwa't ano ang nilabas ninyo upang makita? isang taong nararamtan ng mga damit na maseselan? Narito, ang mga nagsisipanamit ng maseselan ay nangasa mga bahay ng mga hari.
9 Datapuwa't ano ang nilabas ninyo? upang makita ang isang propeta? Oo, sinasabi ko sa inyo, at lalo pang higit kay sa isang propeta.
10 Ito yaong tungkol sa kaniya'y nasusulat, Narito, sinusugo ko ang aking sugo sa unahan ng iyong mukha, Na maghahanda ng iyong daan sa unahan mo.
11 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Sa gitna ng mga ipinanganganak ng mga babae ay walang lumitaw na isang dakila kay sa kay Juan Bautista: gayon man ang lalong maliit sa kaharian ng langit ay lalong dakila kay sa kaniya.
12 At mula sa mga araw ni Juan Bautista hanggang ngayon, ang kaharian ng langit ay nagbabata ng karahasan, at kinukuha nang sapilitan ng mga taong mararahas.
13 Sapagka't ang lahat ng mga propeta at ang kautusan hanggang kay Juan ay nagsipanghula.
14 At kung ibig ninyong tanggapin, ay siya'y si Elias na paririto.
15 Ang may mga pakinig upang ipakinig, ay makinig.
16 Datapuwa't sa ano ko itutulad ang lahing ito? Tulad sa mga batang nangakaupo sa mga pamilihan, na sinisigawan ang kanilang mga kasama.
17 At sinasabi, Tinutugtugan namin kayo ng plauta, at hindi kayo nagsisisayaw; nagsipanambitan kami, at hindi kayo nangahapis.
18 Sapagka't naparito si Juan na hindi kumakain o umiinom man, at sinasabi nila, Siya'y mayroong demonio.
19 Naparito ang Anak ng tao na kumakain at umiinom, at sinasabi nila, Narito, ang isang matakaw na tao at isang manginginom ng alak, isang kaibigan ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga makasalanan! At ang karunungan ay inaaring-ganap ng kaniyang mga gawa.
20 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang pinasimulang sumbatan ang mga bayan na pinaggagawan niya ng lalong marami sa kaniyang mga gawang makapangyarihan, sapagka't hindi sila nangagsisi.
21 Sa aba mo, Corazin! sa aba mo, Bethsaida! sapagka't kung sa Tiro at sa Sidon sana ginawa ang mga gawang makapangyarihan na ginawa sa inyo, malaon na dising nangagsisi na may mga damit na magaspang at abo.
22 Nguni't sinasabi ko sa inyo na higit na mapagpapaumanhinan ang Tiro at Sidon sa araw ng paghuhukom, kay sa inyo.
23 At ikaw, Capernaum, magpapakataas ka baga hanggang sa langit? ibababa ka hanggang sa Hades: sapagka't kung sa Sodoma sana ginawa ang mga makapangyarihang gawang sa iyo'y ginawa, ay nanatili sana siya hanggang sa araw na ito.
24 Datapuwa't sinasabi ko sa inyo na higit na mapagpapaumanhinan ang lupa ng Sodoma sa araw ng paghuhukom, kay sa iyo.
25 Nang panahong yaon ay sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Ako'y nagpapasalamat sa iyo, Oh Ama, Panginoon ng langit at ng lupa, na iyong inilihim ang mga bagay na ito sa mga pantas at matatalino, at ipinahayag mo sa mga sanggol:
26 Oo nga, Ama, sapagka't gayon ang nakalugod sa iyong paningin.
27 Ang lahat ng mga bagay ay ibinigay sa akin ng aking Ama: at sinoma'y hindi nakakakilala sa Anak kundi ang Ama; at sinoma'y hindi nakakakilala sa Ama, kundi ang Anak, at yaong ibiging pagpahayagan ng Anak.
28 Magsiparito sa akin, kayong lahat na nangapapagal at nangabibigatang lubha, at kayo'y aking papagpapahingahin.
29 Pasanin ninyo ang aking pamatok, at magaral kayo sa akin; sapagka't ako'y maamo at mapagpakumbabang puso: at masusumpungan ninyo ang kapahingahan ng inyong mga kaluluwa.
30 Sapagka't malambot ang aking pamatok, at magaan ang aking pasan.

Maori Bible
11 A, ka mutu ta Ihu whakarite korero ki ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua, ka haere atu ia i reira ki te whakaako, ki te kauwhau ki o ratou pa.
2 Na, i te rongonga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere ki nga mahi a te Karaiti, ka tonoa e ia etahi o ana akonga,
3 Ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei tenei e haere mai nei, me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
4 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a raua, Haere, korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e rongo nei, e kite nei korua:
5 Ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera e meinga ana kia ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, a e kauwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore.
6 A ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
7 A, i a raua e haere atu ana, ka timata a Ihu, ka korerotia a Hoani ki te mano, I haere koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
8 Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu maeneene.
9 Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu ano i te poropiti.
10 Ko ia hoki tenei mona te mea i tuhituhia, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara ki mua i a koe.
11 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ano i maea ake i roto i nga whanau a te wahine he rahi ake i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: heoi rahi ake i a ia te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
12 A no nga ra mai ano i a Hoani Kaiiriiri a mohoa noa nei e tukinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, a e riro ana ia i te ringa kaha o nga tangata taikaha.
13 No te mea i poropiti nga poropiti katoa me te ture a taea noatia a Hoani.
14 A, ki te pai koutou koia ra, ko Iraia tenei, i meinga ra e haere mai ana.
15 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
16 Otiia me whakarite e ahau tenei whakatupuranga ki te aha? E rite ana ki nga tamariki e noho ana i nga wahi hokohoko, e karanga ana ki o ratou hoa,
17 E mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani mai; aue noa matou ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i tangi mai.
18 I haere mai hoki a Hoani, kihai i kai, kihai i inu, heoi e mea ana ratou, He rewera tona.
19 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai me te inu, ka mea ratou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara! Otira ma ana mahi e whakatika te whakaaro nui.
20 Katahi ia ka anga ka tawai ki nga pa i meinga ai te maha o ana merekara, mo ratou kihai i ripeneta:
21 Aue, te mate mou, e Korahina! aue, te mate mou, e Petahaira! me i meatia ki Taira, ki Hairona nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a korua, kua ripeneta ke raua, he taratara te kakahu me te oke i te pungarehu.
22 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to Taira raua ko Hairona e mama i te ra whakawa i to korua.
23 Me koe hoki, e Kaperenauma, e whakateiteitia ranei koe a tae noa ki te rangi? ka heke koe ki te reinga: me i meatia hoki ki Horoma nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a koe, kua tu tonu tera a taea noatia tenei ra.
24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma e mama i tou i te ra whakawa.
25 I taua wa ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, He whakawhetai atu taku ki a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi o te whenua, no te mea kua huna e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mahara, a hurahia ana ki nga kohungahunga.
26 Ae ra, e Pa; i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.
27 Kua tukua mai nga mea katoa ki ahau e toku Matua: a kahore tetahi e matau ki te Tama, ko te Matua anake; kahore hoki tetahi e matau ki te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ki a ia.
28 Haere mai ki ahau, e koutou katoa e mauiui ana, e taimaha ana, a maku koutou e whakaokioki.
29 Tangohia taku ioka ki runga ki a koutou, kia whakaakona koutou e ahau; he ngakau mahaki hoki toku, he ngakau papaku: a e whiwhi koutou ki te okiokinga mo o koutou wairua.
30 He ngawari hoki taku ioka, he mama taku pikaunga.
Matthew 11
New International Version
Jesus and John the Baptist(A)
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]
2 When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)
7 As John’s(H) disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness(I) to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet?(J) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.(M) 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.(N) 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(O)
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
    and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
    and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating(P) nor drinking,(Q) and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(R) But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Woe on Unrepentant Towns(S)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(T) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(U) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(V) 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.(W) 23 And you, Capernaum,(X) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e](Y) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”(Z)
The Father Revealed in the Son(AA)
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,(AB) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AC) 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 “All things have been committed to me(AD) by my Father.(AE) 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.(AF)
28 “Come to me,(AG) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(AH) 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,(AI) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(AJ) 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(AK)
