Mattityahu 11
11
1And it came about when he finished giving directives to his Shneym Asar Talmidim, he moved on from there, exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) and darshan (preacher, maggid) in their shtetlach.
2Now when Yochanan, in the beit hasohor (prison), heard of the maasei haMoshiach (works of Moshiach), he sent his talmidim to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
3They asked him, Tell us. Are you Hu Habah (He who comes) or is our chikiah (wait) to be for the Bias (Coming) of another?
4And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered them, saying, Go give the report of what you see and hear to Yochanan:
5The ivrim (blind people) see, the pisechim (lame people) walk, the metzoraim (lepers) are cleansed, the chereshim (deaf people) hear, the mesim are made to stand up alive, and the aniyim (poor) have the Besuras HaGeulah preached to them.#11:5 Isa 35:5f; 61:1
6Ashrey (Happy) is the one who does not find a cause of michshol (falling, stumbling) in me.#11:6 as Moshiach
7As they were leaving, he began to speak to the multitudes about Yochanan, What did you go out into the midbar (wilderness) to see? A reed being shaken by the wind?
8What did you go out to see? Someone shtats (imposing, impressive) in appearance, attired in soft raiment? Hinei, the ones wearing soft raiment are in houses of melachim (kings).
9But what did you go out to see? A Navi? Ken, I tell you. And one greater than a Navi.
10This is he about whom it has been written, HINNENI SHOLEIACH MALACHI (Behold, I will send my messenger) before your face, UPINNAH DERECH LEFANAI (and he will prepare the way before me).#11:10 Ex 23:20; Mal 3:1
11Omein, I say to you, of those born of women, there has not appeared one greater than Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva, yet the person with the least chashivut in the Malchut HaShomayim is greater than he.
12From the days of Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva until now, the Malchut HaShomayim has been under violent attack and the violent seize it with coercion.
13For all the Neviim and the Torah prophesied until Yochanan.
14And, if you are willing it to be mekabel (accept, receive), he is the “Eliyahu,” who is to come.#11:14 Mal 4:5
15The one having ears, let him hear.
16But to what will I compare this generation? It is like yeladim sitting in the marketplaces, calling out to one another,
17We played the chalil (flute) for you, but you did not dance; we sang a kina (lament, funeral dirge) for you, and you did not mourn.
18For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a shed.
19The Bar Enosh#11:19 Moshiach came eating and drinking, and they say, Hinei! A zolel (glutton) and a shikkor (drunkard), a friend of mochesim (tax collectors) and chote'im (sinners). Yet, Chochmah (Wisdom) is vindicated by her ma'asim.
20Then he began to reproach the shtetlach (villages) in which were accomplished most of his gevurot (mighty deeds), because they did not make teshuva.
21Oy l'chah (Woe to you), Korazin! Oy l'chah, Beit-Tzaidah! For if in Tzor and Tzidon were accomplished the gevurot that were accomplished among you, they would have made teshuva long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22Nevertheless, I say to you, it will be more bearable for Tzor and Tzidon than for you on Yom HaDin.
23And you, K'far-Nachum, were you lifted up as far as Shomayim? You shall be brought down as far as Sheol.#11:23 Isa 14:13,15 For if in S'dom were accomplished the gevurot that were accomplished among you, S'dom would have a sheerit (remnant) today!
24Nevertheless, I say to you, it will be more bearable for the land of S'dom on Yom HaDin than for you.
25At that time, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Modeh Ani, Avi, Adon HaShomayim v'HaAretz, (I thank you, Father, L-rd of Heaven and Earth), because you hid these things from the chachamim (wise) and those with seichel, and to them they are nistar (hidden, esoteric), and you made a hisgalus (revelation) of them unto ollelim (infants).
26Ken, Avi, for thus it was pleasing in your sight.
27All things were given to me by Avi, and no one has daas (knowledge) of HaBen except HaAv, nor does anyone have daas of HaAv, except HaBen, and anyone to whom HaBen chooses to unveil him.
28Come to me, all you who are burden-weary and heavy laden, and I will give you Shabbos menuchah.
29Take my ol (yoke) upon you and learn from me, for I am anav (humble) and have shiflut (lowliness) in lev (heart), and you will find menuchah (rest, security)#11:29 Ruth 1:9 for your nefashot (souls).#11:29 Jer 6:16
30For my#11:30 Moshiachʼs ol (yoke) is easy and my burden is light.#11:30 See Mt 23:4

Matthew 11
11
Matthew 11
1¶ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving commandments to his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John those things which you hear and see:
5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6And blessed is he who is not offended in me.
7¶ And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11Verily I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12From the days of John the Baptist until now, life is given unto the kingdom of the heavens, and the valiant take hold of it.
13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14And if ye will receive it, this is that Elijah who was to come.
15He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16¶ But unto whom shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets and shouting unto their fellows
17and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
20Then he began to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done because they repented not:
21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you.
23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to Hades, for if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in those of Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24Therefore I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.
25¶ At that time Jesus answered and said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and understanding and hast revealed them unto children.
26Even so, Father, for thus it was pleasing in thy sight.
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no one has known the Son but the Father, neither has anyone known the Father except the Son and he unto whom the Son will reveal him.
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
