Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
Jesu tún fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀ fún wọn wí pé:
2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
“Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ọba kan ti ó múra àsè ìgbéyàwó ńlá fún ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
3 And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
Ó rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ pe àwọn tí a ti pè tẹ́lẹ̀ sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fẹ́ wá.
4 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.
“Lẹ́yìn náà ó tún rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mìíràn pé, ‘Ẹ sọ fún àwọn tí mo ti pè wí pé, mo ti ṣe àsè náà tán. A pa màlúù àti ẹran àbọ́pa mi, a ti ṣe ohun gbogbo tán, ẹ wa sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó.’
5 But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó ránṣẹ́ lọ pè kò kà á si. Wọ́n ń bá iṣẹ́ wọn lọ, ọ̀kan sí ọ̀nà oko rẹ̀, òmíràn sí ibi òwò rẹ̀.”
6 And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
Àwọn ìyókù sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n ṣe àbùkù sí wọn, wọ́n lù wọ́n pa.
7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
Ọba yìí bínú gidigidi, ó sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, ó sì pa àwọn apànìyàn náà run, ó sì jó ìlú wọn.
8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
“Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Àsè ìgbéyàwó ti ṣe tàn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí a pè kò yẹ fún ọlá náà.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
Ẹ lọ sí ìgboro àti òpópónà kí ẹ sì pe ẹnikẹ́ni tí ẹ bá lè rí wá àsè ìgbéyàwó náà.’
10 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.
Nítorí náà, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì jáde lọ sí òpópónà. Wọ́n sì mú oríṣìíríṣìí ènìyàn tí wọ́n lè rí wá, àwọn tí ò dára àti àwọn tí kò dára, ilé àsè ìyàwó sì kún fún àlejò.
11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
“Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọba sì wọlé wá láti wo àwọn àlejò tí a pè, ó sì rí ọkùnrin kan nínú wọn tí kò wọ aṣọ ìgbéyàwó.
12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
Ọba sì bi í pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, báwo ni ìwọ ṣe wà níhìn-ín yìí láìní aṣọ ìgbéyàwó?’ Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin náà kò ní ìdáhùn kankan.
13 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.
“Nígbà náà ni ọba wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ dì í tọwọ́ tẹsẹ̀, kí ẹ sì sọ ọ́ sínú òkùnkùn lóde níbi tí ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke wà.’
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
“Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ni a pè ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ ni a yàn.”
15 Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Farisi péjọpọ̀ láti ronú ọ̀nà tì wọn yóò gbà fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mú un.
16 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.
Wọ́n sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Herodu lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Olùkọ́, àwa mọ̀ pé olóòtítọ́ ni ìwọ, ìwọ sì ń kọ́ni ní ọ̀nà Ọlọ́run ní òtítọ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì í wo ojú ẹnikẹ́ni; nítorí tí ìwọ kì í ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn.
17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Nísinsin yìí sọ fún wa, kí ni èrò rẹ? Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti san owó orí fún Kesari tàbí kò tọ́?”
18 But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu ti mọ èrò búburú inú wọn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń dán mi wò?
19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny.
Ẹ fi owó ẹyọ tí a fi ń san owó orí kan hàn mi.” Wọn mú dínárì kan wá fún un,
20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Àwòrán ta ni èyí? Àkọlé tà sì ní?”
21 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.
Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Ti Kesari ni.” “Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún wọn pé,” “Ẹ fi èyí tí í ṣe ti Kesari fún Kesari, ẹ sì fi èyí ti ṣe ti Ọlọ́run fún Ọlọ́run.”
22 And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ẹnu yà wọ́n. Wọ́n fi í sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì bá tiwọn lọ.
23 That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him,
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kan náà, àwọn Sadusi tí wọ́n sọ pé kò si àjíǹde lẹ́yìn ikú tọ Jesu wá láti bi í ní ìbéèrè,
24 Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother.
wọ́n wí pé, “Olùkọ́, Mose wí fún wa pé, bí ọkùnrin kan bá kú ní àìlọ́mọ, kí arákùnrin rẹ̀ ṣú aya rẹ̀ lópó, kí ó sì bí ọmọ fún un.
25 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.
Bí ó bá jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, láàrín wa níhìn-ín yìí, ìdílé kan wà tí ó ní arákùnrin méje. Èyí èkínní nínú wọn gbéyàwó, lẹ́yìn náà ó kú ní àìlọ́mọ. Nítorí náà ìyàwó rẹ̀ di ìyàwó arákùnrin kejì.
26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ arákùnrin èkejì náà sì tún kú láìlọ́mọ. A sì fi ìyàwó rẹ̀ fún arákùnrin tí ó tún tẹ̀lé e. Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni títí tí òun fi di ìyàwó ẹni keje.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
Níkẹyìn obìnrin náà pàápàá sì kú.
28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her.
Nítorí tí ó ti ṣe ìyàwó àwọn arákùnrin méjèèje, ìyàwó ta ni yóò jẹ́ ní àjíǹde òkú?”
29 And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Àìmọ̀kan yín ni ó fa irú ìbéèrè báyìí. Nítorí ẹ̀yin kò mọ Ìwé Mímọ́ àti agbára Ọlọ́run.
30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven.
Nítorí ní àjíǹde kò ní sí ìgbéyàwó, a kò sì ní fi í fún ni ní ìyàwó. Gbogbo ènìyàn yóò sì dàbí àwọn angẹli ní ọ̀run.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you:
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, nípa ti àjíǹde òkú, tàbí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run ń bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ nígbà ti ó wí pé:
32 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.
‘Èmi ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run Isaaki, àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.’ Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run òkú, ṣùgbọ́n tí àwọn alààyè.”
33 And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine.
Nígbà ti àwọn ènìyàn gbọ́ èyí ẹnu yà wọ́n sí ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ.
34 But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
Nígbà ti wọ́n sì gbọ́ pé ó ti pa àwọn Sadusi lẹ́nu mọ́, àwọn Farisi pé ara wọn jọ.
35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ṣe amòfin dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè yìí.
36 Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Ó wí pé, “Olùkọ́ èwo ni ó ga jùlọ nínú àwọn òfin?”
37 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.
Jesu dáhùn pé, “‘Fẹ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, gbogbo ẹ̀mí rẹ àti gbogbo inú rẹ.’
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
Èyí ni òfin àkọ́kọ́ àti èyí tí ó tóbi jùlọ.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Èkejì tí ó tún dàbí rẹ̀ ní pé, ‘Fẹ́ràn ọmọnìkejì rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ.’
40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
Lórí àwọn òfin méjèèjì yìí ni gbogbo òfin àti àwọn wòlíì rọ̀ mọ́.”
41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Bí àwọn Farisi ti kó ara wọn jọ, Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé,
42 Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.
“Kí ni ẹ rò nípa Kristi? Ọmọ ta ni òun ń ṣe?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ Dafidi.”
43 He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kí lo dé tí Dafidi, tí ẹ̀mí ń darí, pè é ní ‘Olúwa’? Nítorí ó wí pé,
44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
“‘Olúwa sọ fún Olúwa mi pé, “Jókòó ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi títí tí èmi yóò fi fi àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ sí abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ.”’
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Ǹjẹ́ bí Dafidi bá pè é ni ‘Olúwa,’ báwo ni òun ṣe lè jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀?”
46 And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó lè sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan ni ìdáhùn, kò tún sí ẹni tí ó tún bí i léèrè ohun kan mọ́ láti ọjọ́ náà mọ́.
