Matthai 22
1 Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh nyhtahnaak awi kqawn pek khqi tlaih hy:
And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
2 “Khan qam taw sangpahrang pynoet ing a capa aham zulawh poeoi a sai ing myih hy.
The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3 Zulawh poei awh buh veel aham a tyihzawihkhqi ce tyi nawh thlang khy sak hlai hy, u awm law aham am ngaih uhy:
And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
4 Cekcoengawh ak chang tyihzawihkhqi awm tyi tlaih bai nawh, 'ka ceei thlangkhqi venawh, buh veel aham qoek abah oepchoeh hawh nyng. Zulawh poei buh veel aham law uh tina uh, tinak khqi hy.
Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5 Cehlai kawna awm am ngai pe unawh, a mimah a ngaih ngaih na cehta uhy. Pynoet ing lo na cehta nawh, pynoet ing ak chang bibinaak na cehta hy.
But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
6 Ak chang ak awm tloek ing cawhkaw tyihzawihkhqi ce tu unawh, thekhanaak ing chah phyih sak unawh him uhy.
And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
7 Sangpahrang ing ce ce ang zaak awh ak kaw so hy. A qalkapkhqi ce tyi nawh thlang ak himkhqi ce a him sak coengawh, cekkhqi a khaw ce mai ing dawi sak hy.
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 Cekcoengawh a tyihzawihkhqi venawh, zulawh poei buh taw oepchoeh na awm hawh hy, cehlai ka ceei thlangkhqi ce buh veel aham am kawih uhy.
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
9 Cedawngawh lamkilkhqi awh cet unawh thlang nami huh saqui ce buh veel aham ceei law uh, tina hy.
Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
10 Cedawngawh tyihzawihkhqi ce lam saqui awh cet unawh ami huh saqui thlangkhqi ce cawi uhy, thlak che awm thlak leek awm, zulawh poei buh ce ak behyp na veel uhy.
And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
11 Cehlai sangpahrang ing khinkhqi toek aham a law awh, zulawhnaak hi amak bai thlang pynoet ce hu hy.
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
12 A venawh, 'ka pyi, ikawmyihna zulawhnaak hik kaana vawh na lut law?' tina hy. Cawh anih ce awi am pau qoe hy.
And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13 Sangpahrang ing a tyihzawihkhqi venawh, vawhkaw thlang ve a kut a khaw pin pe unawh, kqangnaak ingkaw hatahnaak a awmnaak a leng ben khawmthannaak na ce khaawng uh, tinak khqi hy.
Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Ikawtih khawzah khy hlai hy, ak tyh taw a khoehca ni, tina hy.
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Cawh Farasikhqi ce cet unawh anih ak awih kqawnnaak awh a thawlhnaak tu peek aham doet qu uhy.
Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
16 A mimah a hubatkhqi ingkaw Herod a hubatkhqi ce Jesu a venna tyi uhy. Cekkhqi ing, 'Cawngpyi kung', nang taw ak thym kqawn nawh Khawsa lam ce awitak ing cawngpyi hyk ti tice sim unyng. Thlang ak kawngaih awm am qoei tiksaw, a u a haai awm am toek hyk ti.
And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men.
17 Ikawmyihna nak poeknaak kqawn law lah? Kaisar a venawh mangmu peek ve ak thym nu? tina u hy.
Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Cehlai Jesu ing a mingmih ang cainaak amak leek ce sim nawh, “Nangmih thlang qaai kqawnkhqi', kaw hamna kai a thawlhnaak tu aham nami sui?
But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mangmu na nami peek tangka ce nim huh lah uh,”, tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing denari pynoet ce khyn pe uhy,
Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
20 cawh anih ing, “U ang myihlip nu ve? U ang ming nu a mi qee ve?” tinak khqi hy.
And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
21 Cekkhqi ing, “Kaisar,” tina uhy. Cawh anih ing, “Kaisar a them ce Kaisar a venawh pe unawh, Khawsa a them ce Khawsa venawh pe uh,” tinak khqi hy.
They say to him: Caesar’s. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.
22 Ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, amik kawpoek kyi hy. Cedawngawh anih ce cehta unawh ak chang na cen uhy.
And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
23 Ce nyn awh ce thlak thi thawh tlaihnaak am awm hy amik ti Sadusikhqi ce a venna law unawh awi doet uhy.
That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
24 Cawngpyikung, thlang pynoet ing a ca ataak kaana a thih man a naa ing anih a zu ce zu na kawmsaw anih aham ca taak pekaw, tinawh Mosi ing nik kqawn pek khqi hy.
Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
25 Kaimih anglakawh cingnahqui thlang khqih awm hy. Lamma cyk ing a zu lo moe ca taak kaana thih tahy, cedawngawh a zu ce a naa ing pang hy.
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother.
26 Cemyihna a voei hihnaak, am thumnaak ingkaw ak khqihnaak dyna awm hqui hy.
In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
27 Ahu na taw cawhkaw nu ce awm thi lawt hy.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 Cawhtaw thawh tlaih nyn awh cawhkaw nu ce khqih ak khuiawh a u a zu na nu a awm kaw, zu na boeih u saw? tina uhy.
At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
29 Jesu ing, “Khawsa a cak ciim ingkaw Khawsa a saithainaak am nami sim a dawngawh, nangmih ing poek thawlh hawh u hyk ti.
And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Thawh tlaihnaak nyn awh chungvanaak ingkaw zulawhnaak awm am awm voel kaw; khawk khan awhkaw khan ceityihkhqi amyihna va awm hawh kawm uh.
For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Thlak thikhqi thawh tlaihnaak awh, Khawsa ing nangmih a venawh ak kqawn law ce am nami noet nawh nu.
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
32 Kai taw Abraham Khawsa, Isaak Khawsa, Jakob Khawsa na awm nyng, a tice? Anih cetaw thlak thikhqi a Khawsa am nawh ak hqingkhqi a Khawsa ni,” tinak khqi hy.
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Thlang kqeng ing anih ak awi ce a ming zaak awh a cawngpyinaak awh amik kawpoek kyi hy.
And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
34 Jesu ing Sadusikhqi awi am pau sak khqi qoe hy, tice Farasikhqi ing a ming zaak awh, pynoet na cun uhy.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
35 A mingmih ak khuiawh anaa awi ak thoem thlang pynoet ing anih ce noek adak nawh doet hy.
And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
36 “Cawngpyikung, anaa awi ak khuiawh ikawmyih awipeek nu ak bau soeih?” tina uhy.
Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
37 Jesu ing, “Bawipa na Khawsa ce nak kawlung boeih, na hqingnaak boeih, na lingbyi boeih ing lungna kawp ti”.
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 Ve ve awipeek lamma cyk ingkaw ak bau soeih na awm hy.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 A pakhihnaak taw vemyihna awm hy: 'Na imceng ce namah a pum amyihna lungna lawt kawp ti,' tive ni.
And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 Anaa awi boeih ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi boeih vawhkaw awipeek pakhih awh cui boeih hawh hy,” tina hy.
On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
41 Farasikhqi ce pynoet na a ming cun awh, Jesu ing doet khqi hy,
And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 “Khrih akawng ve ikawmyihna namik poek?” tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing, “David capa,” tina uhy.
Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.
43 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Cawhtaw ikawmyihna David ing, Myihla ak caming anih ce, “Bawipa,” a ti bai hy voei? Anih ing,
He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
44 Bawipa ing ka Bawipa a venawh: Na qaalkhqi ce ka khawk kaina ka taak hlan dy, kak tang ben awh ngawi lah, a tice.
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45 David ing anih ce 'Bawipa' tinawh ak khy awhtaw, ikawmyihna anih ce a capa na a awm hly thai hy voei? tinak khqi hy.
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 U ingawm anih a doetnaak ce khang oet awm am hlat pe thai uhy, ce nyn awhkawng taw u ingawm awi am doet hqa voel hy.
And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
