Matthew 22
1 And, answering, Jesus, again, spake in parables unto them, saying: —
Jesu tún fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀ fún wọn wí pé:
2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king, —who made a marriage-feast for his son;
“Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ọba kan ti ó múra àsè ìgbéyàwó ńlá fún ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, —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, sent he other servants, saying—Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, —and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.
“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 And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto 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, securing his servants, ill-treated and slew them.
Àwọn ìyókù sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n ṣe àbùkù sí wọn, wọ́n lù wọ́n pa.
7 And, the king, was provoked to anger, —and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.
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, saith he unto his servants—The marriage, indeed, is ready, —but, the 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 Be going, therefore, into the crossways of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call ye into the marriage-feast.
Ẹ lọ sí ìgboro àti òpópónà kí ẹ sì pe ẹnikẹ́ni tí ẹ bá lè rí wá àsè ìgbéyàwó náà.’
10 And those servants, going forth, into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good, —and filled was the bride-chamber 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 But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put 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 saith unto him—Friend! how camest thou in here, not having a wedding-garment? And, he, was put to silence.
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 unto the ministers, Binding him feet and hands, cast him forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wafting 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, chosen.
“Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ni a pè ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ ni a yàn.”
15 Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Farisi péjọpọ̀ láti ronú ọ̀nà tì wọn yóò gbà fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mú un.
16 And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face 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 then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto 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, taking note of their wickedness, said—Why are ye tempting me, 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 appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.
Ẹ fi owó ẹyọ tí a fi ń san owó orí kan hàn mi.” Wọn mú dínárì kan wá fún un,
20 And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image and the inscription?
ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Àwòrán ta ni èyí? Àkọlé tà sì ní?”
21 They say—Caesar’s. Then, saith he unto them—Render, therefore, the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, —and, the things of God, unto God.
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, they marvelled, —and, leaving him, departed.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ẹnu yà wọ́n. Wọ́n fi í sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì bá tiwọn lọ.
23 On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection—and they questioned 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—Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto 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, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto 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 Likewise, the second also, and the third, —unto the seven.
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, died, the wife.
Níkẹyìn obìnrin náà pàápàá sì kú.
28 In the resurrection, therefore, —Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, 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—Ye are deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor yet 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 neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but, as messengers in the heaven, are they.
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 But, as touching the resurrection of the dead—Have ye not read what was spoken unto you by God, saying—
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 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, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
Nígbà ti àwọn ènìyàn gbọ́ èyí ẹnu yà wọ́n sí ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ.
34 Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;
Nígbà ti wọ́n sì gbọ́ pé ó ti pa àwọn Sadusi lẹ́nu mọ́, àwọn Farisi pé ara wọn jọ.
35 and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ṣe amòfin dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè yìí.
36 Teacher! which commandment, is greatest in the law?
Ó wí pé, “Olùkọ́ èwo ni ó ga jùlọ nínú àwọn òfin?”
37 And, he, said unto him—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God—with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind:
Jesu dáhùn pé, “‘Fẹ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, gbogbo ẹ̀mí rẹ àti gbogbo inú rẹ.’
38 This, is the great and first commandment.
Èyí ni òfin àkọ́kọ́ àti èyí tí ó tóbi jùlọ.
39 The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Èkejì tí ó tún dàbí rẹ̀ ní pé, ‘Fẹ́ràn ọmọnìkejì rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ.’
40 In these two commandments, all the law, is contained, and the prophets.
Lórí àwọn òfin méjèèjì yìí ni gbogbo òfin àti àwọn wòlíì rọ̀ mọ́.”
41 Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying—
Bí àwọn Farisi ti kó ara wọn jọ, Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé,
42 How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him—David’s.
“Kí ni ẹ rò nípa Kristi? Ọmọ ta ni òun ń ṣe?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ Dafidi.”
43 He saith unto 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, hath said unto, my Lord, —Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes 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 then, David, calleth 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 one, was able to answer him a word, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.
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.
