Matthæum 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et factum est, cum consummasset Jesus, præcipiens duodecim discipulis suis, transiit inde ut doceret, et prædicaret in civitatibus eorum.	1 When Jesus finished giving these commands to his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.
2 Joannes autem cum audisset in vinculis opera Christi, mittens duos de discipulis suis,	2 When John heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him
3 ait illi : Tu es, qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus ?	3 with this question, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 Et respondens Jesus ait illis : Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis, et vidistis.	4 Jesus said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:
5 Cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur :	5 the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
6 et beatus est, qui non fuerit scandalizatus in me.	6 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."
7 Illis autem abeuntibus, cœpit Jesus dicere ad turbas de Joanne : Quid existis in desertum videre ? arundinem vento agitatam ?	7 As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind?
8 Sed quid existis videre ? hominem mollibus vestitum ? Ecce qui mollibus vestiuntur, in domibus regum sunt.	8 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces.
9 Sed quid existis videre ? prophetam ? Etiam dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam.	9 Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 Hic est enim de quo scriptum est : Ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.	10 This is the one about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you.'
11 Amen dico vobis, non surrexit inter natos mulierum major Joanne Baptista : qui autem minor est in regno cælorum, major est illo.	11 Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 A diebus autem Joannis Baptistæ usque nunc, regnum cælorum vim patitur, et violenti rapiunt illud.	12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
13 Omnes enim prophetæ et lex usque ad Joannem prophetaverunt :	13 All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John.
14 et si vultis recipere, ipse est Elias, qui venturus est.	14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come.
15 Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.	15 Whoever has ears ought to hear.
16 Cui autem similem æstimabo generationem istam ? Similis est pueris sedentibus in foro : qui clamantes coæqualibus	16 "To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another,
17 dicunt : Cecinimus vobis, et non saltastis : lamentavimus, et non planxistis.	17 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.'
18 Venit enim Joannes neque manducans, neque bibens, et dicunt : Dæmonium habet.	18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'
19 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicunt : Ecce homo vorax, et potator vini, publicanorum et peccatorum amicus. Et justificata est sapientia a filiis suis.	19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is vindicated by her works."
20 Tunc cœpit exprobrare civitatibus, in quibus factæ sunt plurimæ virtutes ejus, quia non egissent pœnitentiam :	20 Then he began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented.
21 Væ tibi Corozain, væ tibi Bethsaida : quia, si in Tyro et Sidone factæ essent virtutes quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio et cinere pœnitentiam egissent.	21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Verumtamen dico vobis : Tyro et Sidoni remissius erit in die judicii, quam vobis.	22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Et tu Capharnaum, numquid usque in cælum exaltaberis ? usque in infernum descendes, quia si in Sodomis factæ fuissent virtutes quæ factæ sunt in te, forte mansissent usque in hanc diem.	23 And as for you, Capernaum: 'Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.' For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 Verumtamen dico vobis, quia terræ Sodomorum remissius erit in die judicii, quam tibi.	24 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."
25 In illo tempore respondens Jesus dixit : Confiteor tibi, Pater, Domine cæli et terræ, quia abscondisti hæc a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis.	25 At that time Jesus said in reply, "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.
26 Ita Pater : quoniam sic fuit placitum ante te.	26 Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
27 Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Filium, nisi Pater : neque Patrem quis novit, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.	27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.
28 Venite ad me omnes qui laboratis, et onerati estis, et ego reficiam vos.	28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Tollite jugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum, et humilis corde : et invenietis requiem animabus vestris.	29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves.
30 Jugum enim meum suave est, et onus meum leve.	30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
