Matthew 22
1 Then Jesus told [the Jewish leaders] other parables [in order to illustrate what will happen to the people who do not accept him as the King God promised to send]. [This is one of those parables: ]
Si Jesus misulti pag-usab ngadto kanila sa mga sambingay, nga nag-ingon,
2 “[God] [MTY/EUP] [is like] a king [SIM] who [told his servants that they should] make a wedding feast for his son.
“Ang gingharian sa langit sama sa usa ka hari nga naghimog usa ka kombira sa kasal alang sa iyang anak nga lalaki.
3 [When] the feast [was ready], the king sent his servants to tell the people who had been {whom he had} invited that it was time for them to come to the wedding feast. [The servants did that]. But the people who had been invited did not want to come.
Nagpadala siya sa iyang mga sulugoon aron sa pagtawag niadtong dinapit aron moadto sa kombira sa kasal, apan wala sila nangabot.
4 So he sent other servants [to] again [tell the people whom he had invited that they should come to the feast]. He said [to those servants], ‘Say to the people whom I invited [to come to the feast], “The king says that he has prepared the food. The oxen and the fattened calves have been butchered [and cooked]. Everything is ready. It is time [now for you to] come to the wedding feast!’”’
Nagpadala na usab ang hari sa ubang sulugoon, nga nag-ingon, 'Sultihi silang dinapit, “Tan-awa, naandam ko na ang akong panihapon. Ang akong mga baka ug pinatambok nga nating mga baka naihaw na, ug naandam na ang tanang butang. Adto na sa kombira sa kasal.”'
5 [But when the servants told them that, they] disregarded [what the servants said]. Some of them went to their own fields. Others went to their places of business.
Apan kadtong mga tawo wala maninuod sa pagtagad sa iyang pagdapit. Milakaw ang pipila balik sa ilang kaugalingong kaumahan, ug ang uban milakaw balik ngadto sa ilang mga dapit sa pagpatigayon.
6 The rest of them seized the king’s servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
Gidapat sa uban ang ilang mga kamot ngadto sa mga sulugoon sa hari, gipakaulawan sila, ug gipatay sila.
7 [When the king heard what had happened], he became furious. He commanded his soldiers to go and kill those murderers and burn their cities.
Apan nasuko ang hari. Gipadala niya ang iyang kasundalohan, ug gipatay kadtong mga mamumuno, ug gisunog ang ilang siyudad.
8 [After his soldiers had done that], the king said to his other servants, ‘I have prepared the [wedding] feast, but the people who were {whom I} invited do not deserve to [come to it because they did not consider it an honor to have been invited].
Unya miingon siya sa iyang mga sulugoon, 'Ang kombira sa kasal naandam na, apan kadtong dinapit dili takos.
9 So, go to the intersections of the main streets. Tell whomever you find that they should come to the [wedding] feast.’
Busa adto sa mga kadalanan ug dapita ang daghang tawo kutob sa imong mahimo paingon sa kombira sa kasal.'
10 So the servants went there, and they gathered everyone they saw [who wanted to come to the feast]. They gathered [both people that were considered] to be evil and [those that were considered to be] good. They brought them into the hall where the wedding [feast took place]. The hall was filled with people.
Milakaw ang mga sulugoon sa mga kadalanan ug gitigom ang tanang mga tawo nga ilang nakaplagan, daotan man o maayo. Busa ang tigomanan sa kasal napuno sa mga bisita.
11 But when the king went [into the hall] to see the guests who were there, he saw someone who was not wearing clothes [that had been provided for the guests to wear] at a wedding [feast].
Apan sa dihang miabot ang hari aron sa pagtan-aw sa mga bisita, nakita niya didto ang usa ka tawo nga wala mosul-ob sa bisting pangkasal.
12 The king said to him, ‘Friend, (you should never have entered this hall, because you are not wearing the clothes [that guests wear] at wedding [feasts]!/how did you enter this hall, because you are not wearing the clothes [that are appropriate for guests to wear] at a wedding [feast]?) [RHQ]’ The man did not say anything, [because he did not know what to say].
Ang hari miingon ngadto kaniya, 'Higala, giunsa mo man pagsulod dinhi nga wala mobisti ug pangkasal?' Ug ang tawo wala makatingog.
13 Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Tie this person’s feet and hands and throw him outside where there is total darkness. People who are there cry out [because they are suffering] and they gnash their teeth [because of their severe pain].’”
Unya ang hari miingon ngadto sa mga sulugoon, 'Gapusa ang kamot ug tiil niining tawhana, ug ilabay siya didto sa gawas nga mangitngit, diin adunay paghilak ug pagkagot sa mga ngipon.'
14 [Then Jesus said, “The point of this story is that God] has invited many [to come to him], but only a few people are the ones whom he has chosen [to be there].”
Kay daghang mga tawo ang gitawag, apan diyutay ra ang gipili.”
15 After Jesus said that, the Pharisees met together in order to plan how they could cause him to say something that would enable them to accuse him.
Unya ang mga Pariseo miadto ug naglaraw unsaon nila pagbitik si Jesus pinaagi sa iyang kaugalingong pagsulti.
16 They sent to him some of their disciples, [who thought that the Israelites should pay only the tax that the Jewish authorities required them to pay]. They also sent some members of the party that supported Herod. [The members of that party thought that the Israelites should pay only the tax that the Roman government required them to pay]. [Those who were sent came and] said to Jesus, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you teach the truth about what God wants [us to do]. We also know that you do not change what you teach because of what someone says about you, even if it is an important person who does not like what you [IDM] teach.
Unya gipadala nila ngadto kaniya ang ilang mga disipulo, kauban ang mga sakop ni Herodes. Miingon sila ngadto kang Jesus, “Magtutudlo, nakabalo kami nga ikaw matinud-anon, ug nga ikaw nagtudlo sa paagi sa Dios diha sa kamatuoran. Wala ikaw manginlabot sa pahayag sa uban, ug wala ikaw nagpakitag pagpalabi taliwala sa mga tawo.
17 So tell us what you think [RHQ] [about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
Busa sultihi kami, unsa ang imong hunahuna? Uyon ba kini sa balaod nga mobayad sa mga buhis ngadto kang Cesar o dili?”
18 But Jesus knew that what they really wanted to do was evil. [They were wanting him to say something that would get him in trouble with either the Jewish authorities or the Roman authorities. So he said to them], “You are (hypocrites/pretending to ask a legitimate question), but you are just wanting [RHQ] me to say something for which you can accuse me.
Apan nasabtan ni Jesus ang ilang pagkadaotan ug miingon, “Nganong kamo nagasulay man kanako, kamo mga tigpakaaron-ingnon?
19 Show me [one of] the coins with [which people pay] the [Roman] tax.” So they showed him [a coin called] a denarius.
Ipakita kanako ang salapi sa buhis. “Unya sila nagdala ug usa ka dinaryo ngadto kaniya.
20 He said to them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?”
Si Jesus miingon ngadto kanila, “Kang kinsang dagway ug ngalan kini?”
21 They answered, “[It has the picture and name of] Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].” Then he said to them, “Okay, give to the government what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Sila miingon ngadto kaniya, “kang Cesar.” Unya si Jesus miingon ngadto kanila, “Busa ihatag kang Cesar ang mga butang nga iya kang Cesar, ug sa Dios ang mga butang nga iya sa Dios.”
22 When those men heard Jesus say that, they marveled [that his answer did not enable anyone to accuse him]. Then they left Jesus.
Sa dihang sila nakadungog niini, sila natingala. Unya mibiya sila kaniya ug milakaw palayo.
23 During that same day, some Sadducees came to Jesus. [They are a Jewish sect who do not] believe that people will become alive again after they die. They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question.
Niadtong adlawa ang pipila ka mga Saduseo miduol ngadto kaniya, kadtong nagsulti nga walay pagkabanhaw. Nangutana sila kaniya,
24 [In order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again], they said [to him], “Teacher, Moses wrote [in the Scriptures], ‘If a man dies who did not have any children, his brother must marry the [dead man’s] widow in order that she can have a child by him. The child [will be considered] the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].’
nga nag-ingon, “Magtutudlo, si Moises miingon, 'Kung ang usa ka tawo mamatay, nga wala makabaton ug mga anak, ang iyang igsoong lalaki kinahanglan nga makigminyo sa iyang asawa ug magbaton ug anak alang sa iyang igsoong lalaki.'
25 Well, there were seven boys in a family [living] near us. The oldest one married someone. He [and his wife] did not have any children, and he died. So the second brother married the widow. [But he also died without having a child].
Adunay pito ka managsoon. Ang nauna nakigminyo ug unya namatay, mibiya nga walay anak. Gibilin niya ang iyang asawa ngadto sa iyang igsoong lalaki.
26 The same thing [happened to] the third [brother], and also to the other four [brothers, who one by one married this same woman].
Unya ang ikaduhang igsoong lalaki naghimo sa samang butang, unya ang ikatulo, hangtod sa ikapito nga igsoon,
27 Last of all, the widow also died.
Pagkahuman nilang tanan, namatay ang babaye.
28 So, at the time when people are raised from the dead, which of the seven [brothers do you think] will be her husband? Keep in mind that they had all been married to her.”
Karon diha sa pagkabanhaw, kang kinsang asawa siya sa pito ka managsoon? Kay silang tanan nakaangkon man kaniya.”
29 Jesus replied to them, “You are certainly wrong [in what you are thinking]. You do not know [what is written in] the Scriptures. [You] also do not know [that] God has [the] power [to make people alive again].
Apan si Jesus mitubag ug miingon kanila, “Nasayop kamo, tungod kay wala kamo masayod sa kasulatan ni sa gahom sa Dios.
30 The fact is that [the woman will not be the wife of any of them, because] after [God causes all dead] people [to] live again, no one will be married. Instead, [people] will be like the angels in heaven. [They do not marry].
Kay diha sa pagkabanhaw dili na sila magminyoay, ni ihatag sa kaminyoon. Hinuon, mahisama na sila sa mga anghel sa langit.
31 But as for dead people becoming alive again, God said something about that. (I’m sure you have read it./Have you not read it?) [RHQ] [Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses],
Apan mahitungod sa pagkabanhaw sa mga patay, wala ba ninyo mabasa unsa ang giingon kaninyo pinaagi sa Dios, nga nag-ingon,
32 ‘I am the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob worships.’ It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we know their spirits were still alive]!”
'Ako ang Dios ni Abraham, ang Dios ni Isaac, ug ang Dios ni Jacob'? Ang Dios dili Dios sa mga patay, apan sa mga buhi.
33 When the crowds of people heard [Jesus teach] that, they were amazed.
Sa dihang ang mga panon sa katawhan nakadungog niini, natingala sila sa iyang pagpanudlo.
34 But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had answered the Sadducees in such a way that the Sadducees could not [think of anything that they might say to] respond to him, the Pharisees gathered together to [plan what they would say to him]. [Then they approached him].
Apan sa dihang ang mga Pariseo nakadungog nga si Jesus nagpahilom sa mga Saduseo, naghiusa sila sa pagtigom.
35 One of them was a man who had studied well the laws [that God gave Moses]. He wanted to see if Jesus [could answer] his question well [or if he would say something wrong]. He asked him,
Ang usa kanila nga magbabalaod, nangutana kaniya ug usa ka pangutana, aron pagsulay kaniya-
36 “Teacher, which commandment in the laws [that God gave Moses] is the most important?”
“Magtutudlo, unsa man ang labing dako nga kasugoan diha sa balaod?”
37 Jesus [quoted the Scriptures as he replied], “‘You must love the Lord your God with all [IDM] your (inner being/heart). [Show that you love him] in all that you desire, in all that you feel, and in all that you think.’
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “'Kinahanglan nimong higugmaon ang Ginoo nga imong Dios sa tibuok nimong kasingkasing, sa tibuok nimong kalag, ug sa tibuok nimong hunahuna.'
38 That is the most important commandment [in the laws that God gave Moses].
Mao kini ang dako ug nauna nga kasugoan.
39 The next most important commandment [that everyone must surely obey] is: ‘You must love the people you come in contact with as much as [you love] yourself.’
Ug ang ikaduhang kasugoan sama niini— 'Kinahanglan nimong higugmaon ang imong silingan sama sa imong kaugalingon.'
40 These two commandments are the basis of every law [that Moses wrote in the Scriptures] and also of all that the prophets [wrote].”
Dinhi niining duha ka mga kasugoan nagsukad ang tibuok balaod ug ang mga propeta.”
41 While the Pharisees were still gathered together [near] Jesus, he asked them,
Karon samtang ang mga Pariseo nagpabilin nga nagtigom, si Jesus nangutana kanila ug usa ka pangutana.
42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?” They said to him, “[He is] the descendant of [King] David.”
Miingon siya, “Unsa ang inyong hunahuna mahitungod kang Cristo? Kang kinsa siyang anak?” Miingon sila kaniya, “Ang anak ni David.”
43 Jesus said to them, “[If the Messiah is King David’s descendant], then (David should not have called him ‘Lord’ when David was saying [what] the [Holy] Spirit [prompted him to] say./Why did David call the Messiah ‘Lord’ when David was speaking [what] the [Holy] Spirit [prompted him to] say?) [RHQ]
Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Unya giunsa man ni David diha sa Espiritu sa pagtawag kaniya ug Ginoo, nga nag-ingon,
44 [David wrote this in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: ‘God said to my Lord, “Sit [here beside me] on my right, [the place of greatest honor you] [MTY]. [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies [MTY].”’
'Ang Ginoo miingon sa akong Ginoo, “Lingkod sa akong tuong kamot, hangtod nga akong himuon ang imong mga kaaway nga imong tumbanan.'”?”
45 So, since [King] David called [the Messiah] ‘my Lord’, ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from David!/how can he be [only] the descendant of [King] David?) [RHQ] [He must be much greater than David]!”
Unya kung si David nagtawag kang Cristo nga 'Ginoo', giunsa paghimo kaniya nga anak ni David?”
46 No one [who heard what Jesus said] was able to think of even one word to say to him [in response]. And after that, no one else ever dared to ask him another question [to try to trap him].
Walay usa nga nakahimo sa pagtubag kaniya sa usa ka pulong, ug wala nay tawo nga nangahas sa pagpangutana kaniya sa daghan pang mga pangutana sukad niadtong adlawa.
