Matthai 22
1 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih nuettahnah neh koep a thui pah.
AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying,
2 “Vaan ram tah a manghai pa neh vai uh. Te loh a capa ham yulueinah a saii pah.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:
3 Te vaengah yulueinah la a khue rhoek te khue hamla a sal rhoek te a tueih dae lo ham ngaih uh pawh.
and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.
4 Sal a tloe rhoek te koep a tueih tih, 'A khue rhoek te thui pa uh, kai kah buhkoknah ka tawn coeng he, ka vaito neh a toitup khaw a ngawn coengw, a cungkuem he a sikim coeng dongah yulueinah ah halo uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.
5 Tedae amih loh a sawtrhoel uh tih a ngen tah amah kah lo la, a tloe te a hnoyoihnah la cet uh.
But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick:
6 Te phoeiah a tloe rhoek loh manghai kah sal rhoek te a tuuk uh, a neet uh tih a ngawn uh.
And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them.
7 Te dongah manghai tah kosi a hong tih a rhalkap rhoek te a tueih. Te vaengah hlang aka ngawn rhoek te a poci sak tih a khopuei te a hlup pah.
Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.
8 Te phoeiah a sal rhoek taengah, 'Yulueinah tah sikim la om coeng dae a khue rhoek te a koihhilh la a om uh moenih.
Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:
9 Te dongah longpuei caehtung ah cet uh lamtah na hmuh uh sarhui te yulueinah ah khue uh,’ a ti nah.
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.
10 Te phoeiah sal rhoek tah longpuei ah cet uh tih a hmuh uh sarhui te a thae neh a then khaw a coi uh. Te dongah yulueinah tah aka bul rhoek neh bae uh.
So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.
11 Te vaengah manghai te kun tih aka bul rhoek te a sawt hatah, yulueinah himbai aka bai pawh hlang pakhat te kawl a hmuh.
Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment:
12 Te dongah anih te, “Pueivan aw, metlae yulueinah himbai om kolla hela na kun?” a ti nah. Tedae te long te hil a phah.
and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.
13 Te dongah manghai loh a tueihyoeih rhoek taengah, “Anih he a kut neh a kho pin uh lamtah poengben kah a yinnah khuila haek uh. Rhah neh no rhuengnah la om saeh,’ a ti nah.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Te dongah, “A khue rhoek tah muep om dae a coelh rhoek tah yool,” a ti nah.
For many are called, but few elect.
15 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek tah koe uh Jesuh te a ol neh hlaeh ham dawtletnah a khueh uh.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.
16 Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek te Herod kah hlang neh Jesuh taengla a tueih uh. Te vaengah, “Saya, a thuem la na om tih Pathen kah longpuei te oltak neh na thuituen te ka ming uh. U taengah khaw na tangyah pawt tih hlang maelhmai te na sawt moenih.
And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:
17 Te dongah Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham tueng neh a tueng pawt khaw nang loh me tlam lae na poek, kaimih taengah thui lah?” a ti na uh.
tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Tedae Jesuh loh amih kah halangnah te a ming tih, “Hlangthai palat rhoek balae tih kai nan noemcai uh?
But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mangmu ham tangka te kai n'tueng uh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah a taengla denarii pakhat a khuen uh.
Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.
20 Te vaengah amih te, “U kah mueimae neh ming nim he?” a ti nah.
And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?
21 Amah taengah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh. Te vaengah amih te, “Te dongah Kaisar kah tah Kaisar taengah, Pathen kah te Pathen taengah mael uh,” a ti nah.
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s; and to God, the things which are God’s.
22 A yaak uh vaengah let uh. Te dongah Jesuh te a toeng uh tih cet uh.
And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
23 Te khohnin ah thohkoepnah om mahpawh aka ti Sadducee rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh.
On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,
24 Te phoeiah Jesuh te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, Moses loh, 'Khat khat tah ca a om kolla a duek atah anih yuu te a mana loh yunah saeh lamtah a maya ham a tiingan thoh pah saeh,'a ti.
saying, Master, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.”
25 Tedae kaimih taengah boeinaphung parhih om uh. Lamhma loh yuu a loh hata vik duek tih ca om kolla a yuu te a mana ham a hlah pah.
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;
26 A pabae neh a pathum neh parhih duela khaw amahboeiloeih la om.
likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven.
27 A tloihsoi ah huta te khaw boeih duek uh.
Last of all the woman died also.
28 Anih te boeih a hutnah uh oeh coeng dongah thohkoepnah dongah tah parhih khuikah u yuu lamlae a om eh?” a ti na uh.
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Cacim neh Pathen kah thaomnah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh coeng.
Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.
30 Thohkoepnah dongah yuloh vasak neh rhaihlan ti a om moenih. Tedae vaan ah tah puencawn bangla om uh coeng.
For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Tedae aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah te nangmih ham Pathen loh a thui te na tae uh moenih a?
But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying,
32 'Kai tah Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak kah Pathen, Jakob kah Pathen ni. Aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni,’ a ti ta,” a ti nah.
“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?” God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Te vaengkah aka ya hlangping tah Jesuh kah thuituennah soah let uh.
And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine.
34 Tedae Sadducee rhoek a paa sak te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah thikat la tingtun uh.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees’ mouths, they assembled together:
35 Te phoeiah amih khuikah olming pakhat loh,
and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,
36 “Saya, olkhueng khuiah mebang olpaek lae aka len?” tila a dawt tih a noemcai.
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Boeipa na Pathen te na thinko boeih neh na hinglu boeih neh, na kopoek boeih neh lungnah.
Then Jesus said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
38 He tah aka len neh aka lamhma olpaek ni.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 A pabae khaw lamhma kah phek la om tih, “Na imben te namah bangla lungnah.
And the second is like to it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
40 He kah olpaek panit dongah olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek tah boeih cui,” a ti nah.
On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Pharisee rhoek te a tingtun uh vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a dawt tih,
The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them,
42 “Khrih kawng te metlam na poek uh? U ca lamlae a om?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “David kah capa,” a ti uh.
saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David’s.
43 Te dongah amih te, “Te koinih David loh Khrih te Mueihla ah Boeipa la a khue tih,
He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,
44 Boeipa loh ka Boeipa te, 'Na rhal rhoek te ka kho hmuiah ka khueh hlan duela kai kah bantang ah ngol,’ a ti nah te metlam a thui?
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet.”
45 Te dongah David loh anih te boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae David kah capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Te vaengah a ol lan uh thai pawh. Te khohnin lamkah tah anih dawt ham te khat long khaw ngaingaih voel pawh.
And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.
