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: ]
Yesu ya sake yi masu magana da misalai, yace,
2 “[God] [MTY/EUP] [is like] a king [SIM] who [told his servants that they should] make a wedding feast for his son.
“Mulkin sama yana kama da wani sarki wanda ya shirya wa dansa liyafar aure.
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.
Ya aiki bayinsa su kira wadanda aka gayyata su zo liyafar auren, amma suka ki zuwa.
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!’”’
Sai sarkin ya sake aiken wasu bayin, yace, “Ku gaya wa wadanda aka gayyata, “Duba, na shirya liyafata. An yanka bajimaina da kosassun 'yanmarukana, an gama shirya komai. Ku zo wurin bikin auren.”
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.
Amma mutanen ba su dauki sakon da mahimmanci ba kuma suka yi tafiyarsu. Wani ga gonarsa, wani ga kasuwancinsa.
6 The rest of them seized the king’s servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
Sauran kuma suka kama bayin sarkin, suka wulakanta su, suka kuma kashe su.
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.
Amma sarkin ya ji haushi. Ya aika sojojinsa, ku kashe masu kisan kan nan, ku kuma kone birnin su.
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].
Sai ya ce wa bayinsa, 'An gama shirya bikin, amma wadanda aka gayyata ba su cancanta ba.
9 So, go to the intersections of the main streets. Tell whomever you find that they should come to the [wedding] feast.’
Saboda haka ku je bakin hanya ku gayyaci iyakar yawan mutanen da za ku samu zuwa bukin auren.'
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.
Bayin suka tafi hanya suka tattaro dukan mutanen da suka samu, da masu kyau da marassa kyau. Zauren auren kuwa ya cika makil da baki.
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].
Amma da sarkin ya zo don ya ga bakin, sai ya ga wani wanda bai sa kayan aure ba.
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].
Sai sarkin ya ce masa, 'Aboki, ta yaya ka shigo nan ba tare da kayan aure ba?' Mutumin kuwa ya rasa ta cewa.
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].’”
Sai sarkin ya ce wa bayinsa, 'Ku daure mutumin nan hannu da kafa, ku jefa shi cikin duhun, inda za ayi kuka da cizon hakora.'
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].”
Gama mutane dayawa aka kira, amma kadan aka zaba.”'
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.
Sai Farisawan suka tafi suka shirya makirci akan yadda zasu kama shi ta maganarsa.
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.
Suka tura masa almajiransu, da Hirudiyawa. Suka ce ma Yesu, “Mallam, mun san kai mai gaskiya ne, kuma kana koyar da hanyar Ubangiji da gaskiya. Ba ka damu da ra'ayin kowa ba, kuma ba ka nuna bambanci a tsakanin mutane.
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?”
To gaya mana, menene tunaninka? Ya halarta a biya haraji ga Kaisar ko a'a?”
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.
Amma Yesu ya gane muguntarsu yace, “Don me kuke gwada ni, ku munafukai?
19 Show me [one of] the coins with [which people pay] the [Roman] tax.” So they showed him [a coin called] a denarius.
Ku nuna mani sulen harajin.” Sai suka kawo masa sulen.
20 He said to them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?”
Yesu yace masu, “Hoto da sunan wanene wadannan?”
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].”
Suka ce masa, “Na Kaisar.” Sai Yesu ya ce masu, “To ku ba Kaisar abubuwan dake na Kaisar, Allah kuma abubuwan dake na Allah.”
22 When those men heard Jesus say that, they marveled [that his answer did not enable anyone to accuse him]. Then they left Jesus.
Da suka ji haka, suka yi mamaki. Sai suka bar shi suka tafi.
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.
A ran nan sai wadansu Sadukiyawa, wadanda suka ce ba tashin matattu, suka zo wurinsa. Suka tambaye shi,
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].’
cewa, “Mallam, Musa yace, 'Idan mutum ya mutu, bashi da 'ya'ya, dole dan'uwansa ya auri matarsa ya kuwa haifawa dan'uwansa 'ya'ya.
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].
Akwai wasu 'yan'uwa bakwai. Na farkon yayi aure sai ya mutu. Da shike bai bar 'ya'ya ba. Ya bar wa dan'uwansa matarsa.
26 The same thing [happened to] the third [brother], and also to the other four [brothers, who one by one married this same woman].
Sai dan'uwansa na biyu shi ma yayi haka, haka kuma na ukun, har zuwa dan'uwan na bakwai.
27 Last of all, the widow also died.
Bayan dukansu, sai matar ta mutu.
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.”
To a tashin matattu, matar wa zata zama a cikin su bakwai din? Don duk sun aure ta.”
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].
Amma Yesu ya amsa yace masu, “Kun bata, domin ba ku san litattafai ko ikon Allah ba.
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].
Domin a tashin matattu basu aure, ba kuma a bada su aure. Maimaikon haka, suna kama da mala'ikun sama.
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],
Amma game da tashin matattu, ba ku karanta abinda Allah ya fada maku ba, cewa,
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]!”
'Nine Allah na Ibrahim, Allah na Ishaku, da Allah na Yakubu'? Allah ba Allah na matattu bane, amma na rayayyu.”
33 When the crowds of people heard [Jesus teach] that, they were amazed.
Da taron suka ji haka, sai suka yi mamakin koyarwarsa.
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].
Amma da Farisawan suka ji cewa Yesu ya kure Sadukiyawa, sai suka tattara kansu.
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,
Daya daga cikinsu, masanin shari'a, yayi masa tambaya, yana gwada shi-
36 “Teacher, which commandment in the laws [that God gave Moses] is the most important?”
“Mallam, wace doka ce mafi girma a cikin shari'a?”
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.’
Yesu yace masa, “Ka kaunaci Ubangiji Allahnka da dukkan zuciyarka, da dukkan ranka, da dukkan hankalinka.'
38 That is the most important commandment [in the laws that God gave Moses].
Wannan itace babbar doka ta farko.
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.’
Doka ta biyu kuma kamar ta take- 'Ka kaunaci makwabcinka kamar kanka.'
40 These two commandments are the basis of every law [that Moses wrote in the Scriptures] and also of all that the prophets [wrote].”
Akan wadannan dokoki ne dukkan shari'a da annabawa suka rataya.”
41 While the Pharisees were still gathered together [near] Jesus, he asked them,
Yayin da Farisawa suke tattare wuri daya, Yesu yayi masu tambaya.
42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?” They said to him, “[He is] the descendant of [King] David.”
Yace, “Me kuke tunani game da Almasihu? Shi dan wanene?” Suka ce masa, ''Dan Dauda ne.”
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]
Yesu yace masu, “To ta yaya kuma Dauda cikin Ruhu ya kira shi Ubangiji, yana cewa,
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].”’
“Ubangiji ya cewa wa Ubangijina, zauna a hannun damana, har sai na mai da makiyanka matakin sawayenka.”
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]!”
Idan Dauda ya kira Almasihu 'Ubangiji,' ta yaya ya zama dan Dauda?”
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].
Ba wanda ya iya bashi amsa, ba kuma wanda ya kara yi masa tambayoyi tun daga wannan rana.
