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: ]
Hagi Jisasi'a fronka kea mago'ene zamagrikura anage huno zamasami'ne.
2 “[God] [MTY/EUP] [is like] a king [SIM] who [told his servants that they should] make a wedding feast for his son.
Mona kumamo'a mago kini ne'mo mofavre'amo arave huku higeno kave retro hu'neankna hu'ne.
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.
Huteno agra kazokzo eri'za vahe'a, zamagima hu'noa vahe'zaga ome kehinke'za, aravemahu nezantera eho huno huzmantege'za vazanagi, zamagra omegahune hu'naze.
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!’”’
Mago'ene ruga'a kazokzo eri'za vahera hunezmanteno, anage hu'ne, zamagima hu'noa nagara zamasamiho, Nagra aravehu ne'zana hago retro huntogeno me'ne. Ve bulimakaone agusage afu'zagani'a, ko ahe'za traga huvazi antazageno, mika'zana retro hunte'naze. Ana hu'negu aravemahu nezante eho.
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.
Hianagi anankea ontahiza atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze. Mago'mo'a hoza arega vigeno, mago'mo'a zago eri'za ma'are vu'ne.
6 The rest of them seized the king’s servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
Ruga'amo'za eri'za vahe'zamia zamazeri haviza nehu'za, zamahe fri'naze.
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.
E'ina hazazamo, kini ne'mofona tusiza huno rimpa haviza higeno, sondia vahe'a huzmantege'za vu'za ana vahe'ma zamahe fri'naza vahera ome zamahe nefri'za, rankumazmia teve taginte'naze.
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].
Anante Agra kazokzo eri'za vahe'agura anage huno zamasmi'ne, aravema hu ne'zana hago trotra hunte'ne. Hu'neanagi zamagima hu'nona vahe'mo'za efregara osu'naze.
9 So, go to the intersections of the main streets. Tell whomever you find that they should come to the [wedding] feast.’
E'ina hazagu, ranra kampi vutma inankna vahe'ma zmagesuta, zmagi hinke'za aravema hu nezantera eho.
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.
Hige'za ana kazokzo eri'za vahe'amo'za rankuma kampi vu'za e'za hu'za zmagaza vahe'a, havi avu'ava nehaza vahero, knare vahero kehutru hazage'za, ana aravehu nompina, zamagi hu'naza vahe'krerfamo'za avite'naze.
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].
Hu'neanagi, Kini ne'mo'ma efreno arave hutema zmagi hu'nea vahepima eme keana, anampina mago nera aravehu kukena osu'nea ne' emani'negeno ke'ne.
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].
Hagi Agra ana neku anage hu'ne, nenfuga aravemahu kukenama osu'nenka kagra inankna hunka amafina efre'nane? Hianagi agrama hukeaga omne'geno mago keaga osu'ne.
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].’”
Anante Kini ne'mo eri'za vahe'a zamasamino, azeritma nofi agare azante anakitetma, asgahutma tusi'a hanizampi matevutrenkeno, anampinka zavira neteno, ave aninkreki hino hu'ne.
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].”
Na'ankure ra'ma'amokizmi ke hu'neanagi, osi'a naga huhampri nezmante.
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.
Anante Farisi vahe'mo'za magopi omeri truhu'za, rehesageno, Agra'a hania kefinti azerisune hu'za ke retro hu'naze.
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.
Hute'za zamagri zmage nentaza naga'ene, Herodima amage nentaza disaipol naga'ane, magoka huzmantage'za Jisasinte vu'za anage hu'naze. Rempi huzami nere, tagra antahi'none, Kagra tamage ne'tfa mani'nenka, tamage ke'moma hu'nea kante antenka Anumzamofo kankura rempi hunezmine. Mago'mofonkukera nosane, na'ankure mago'mofontega nontane.
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?”
Hagi tagrira tasmio. Kagra nankagesa nentahi'ne? Knare hu'negu, Sisama ami takisi zagoa amigahumpi omigahune?
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.
Hianagi Jisasi'a havi antahi'zama eri'zana nezmageno anage hu'ne, Tamagra tavre vahere! Na'a higetma renvatga huta negaze?
19 Show me [one of] the coins with [which people pay] the [Roman] tax.” So they showed him [a coin called] a denarius.
Mago'ma takisima nehaza zagofinti eri naveriho, hige'za mago zago eri'za Agrite e'naze.
20 He said to them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?”
Jisasi'a zamagriku anage hu'ne, Ama aza amema'ane aza naneke krente'naze?
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].”
Zamagra ke nona'a hu'naze, Sisa su'ane hazageno, Agra zamagriku anage hu'ne, anama huno, Sisa'zama me'nesiana, Sisa amiho. Hagi Anumzamofo zama me'nesiana, Anumzamofo amiho.
22 When those men heard Jesus say that, they marveled [that his answer did not enable anyone to accuse him]. Then they left Jesus.
Anankema nentahi'za antri nehu'za, Agrira atre'za vu'naze.
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.
Ana zupage Satusi mono vahe'mo'za, (vahe'mo'za fripintira o'otigahaze nehaza vahe'mo'za) Jisasinte e'za eme antahige'naze,
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].’
Rempi huzami ne'moka, Mosesie'a huno, Mago'ne'mo'ma mofavre kase onte'nenoma frisigeno'a, nefu'a ana kentora a'erineno nefu fri'nea ne'mofo mofavre kasentegahie.
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].
Hagi tagripina 7ni'a kogna mani'nafinti, agonesa mofavremo a' eriteno, mofavre onteno fri'geno, ana ara negna erinte'ne.
26 The same thing [happened to] the third [brother], and also to the other four [brothers, who one by one married this same woman].
Anantemo'a anazanke hu'ne, hagi 3mo'a anazanke huno tamino 7nimofonte vu'ne.
27 Last of all, the widow also died.
Ana ara henka fri'ne.
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.”
Ana hu'negu Fripinti otisaza kna'zupa, ana kognafintira iza a' manigahie? Na'ankure ana miko'mo'za ana ara erinte'naze.
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].
Jisasi'a kenona'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagratmi tamazeri havia nehaze, na'ankure avontafero, Anumzamofo hanavea antahi'amara nosaze.
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].
Na'ankure fri'nehnafinti'ma oti snazana, arave hu'zana omnesigeno, ara vasi omiami hu'zana omnesigeno, monafinka ankero vahe'kna hu'za manigahaze.
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],
Hianagi fri'naza vahe'ma otisaza zanku'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagriku'ma hu'nea kea hamprita ontahinazo.
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]!”
Nagra Abrahamuma Aisaki'ma Jekopu Anumza mani'noe hu'neana? Agra fri vahe'mofo Anumzana omani'ne, hagi kasefa hu'za mani'naza vahe'mofo Anumzane. (Eks-Ati 3:6)
33 When the crowds of people heard [Jesus teach] that, they were amazed.
Tusi'a vea kevumo'za ana nanekema nentahi'za, rempima huzmia kegura tusi antri hu'naze.
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].
Hianagi Farisi vahe'mo'zama antahi'zama, Satusi vahera keosza kema Jisasi huzmantege'za, Farisi vahe'mo'za magopi eritru hu'naze.
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,
Zamagripinti mago'zmimo'a, kasegere ugagota hu'nemo, reheno kenaku anage huno agenoka hu'ne.
36 “Teacher, which commandment in the laws [that God gave Moses] is the most important?”
Rempi huramine'moka, inana tra kemo mareri'agetereno vugagota hu'ne?
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.’
Jisasi'a kenona'a asmino, Rana, kagrika'a Anumzana, mika tumokareti ene, mika kagu kamenteti ene, mika antahintahi ka'areti avesinto. (Diu-Kas 6:5)
38 That is the most important commandment [in the laws that God gave Moses].
Ama e'i pusama huno, vugagote'nea kasege.
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.’
Anante'ma hu'neana, kagragu'ma kavesi'nentanaza hunka, tva'onkarema nemanisimofona avesinto hu'ne. (Lev-Pris 19:18)
40 These two commandments are the basis of every law [that Moses wrote in the Scriptures] and also of all that the prophets [wrote].”
Mika kase'gemo'ene, kasnampa vahe'mofo kemo'a, asma tare tra kemofonte aniri'ne.
41 While the Pharisees were still gathered together [near] Jesus, he asked them,
Farisi vahe'ma eri'tru'ma nehazageno'a Jisasi'a mago zamagenoka ke zmantahige'ne,
42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?” They said to him, “[He is] the descendant of [King] David.”
Tamagra Kraisinkura nankna tamagesa nentahi'ze? Agra iza ne' mofavre? Huno zmantahigege'za, Deviti mofavre hu'naze.
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]
Agra zamagrira anage huno zamasmi'ne, Nahigeno Avamumo'a Devitina asmigeno Ranimoke hu'ne?
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].”’
Ramo'a nagri Rantega anage hu'ne, tamaga kazigani'a mani'negena, ha' vaheka'a zamare kagri kagafi antaneno hu'ne. (Psa-Zga 110:1)
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]!”
Deviti'ma, Rane huno'ma hu'neana, inankna huno agri mofavrea manigahie?
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].
Ana kemofo nona'a, mika'amo'za mago'a kea huntega osu'za, ana knareti'ma vu'neana koro hunente'za mago'anena, Agrira agenoka osu'naze.
