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: ]
Jisuna amuk makhoida pandamsing sijinnaduna hairak-i,
2 “[God] [MTY/EUP] [is like] a king [SIM] who [told his servants that they should] make a wedding feast for his son.
“Swarga leibak asidi machanupagi luhongbagi achouba chaklen ama thourang touriba ningthou amaga manei.
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.
Mahakna luhongba lakpinaba haija warol pikhibasing adubu kounanaba mahakki manaising tharammi, adubu makhoina lakpiyu yakhide.
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!’”’
Adudagi mahakna amuk hanna atoppa manaising thaduna hairak-i, Nakhoina lakpinaba haija warol pikhibasing aduda haiyu, ‘Yeng-u, eina chaklen adu thourang touba loire. Eigi sanlabasing amadi thaktuna thamlaba sasing hattuna thourang pumnamak loire. Luhongbagi chaklen aduda laklo!’
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.
Adubu makhoina maduda thousadana masa masagi thabakta haibadi kharana loubukta, khara amana lalon-itikki thabak touba chatkhirammi.
6 The rest of them seized the king’s servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
Aduga atei leihoubasing aduna mahakki manaising adubu phaduna thina toubire amasung makhoibu hatle.
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.
Madu tabada ningthou adu adukki matik saorammi. Aduga mahakna mahakki lanmising thaduna mihatpasing adu hat-hankhi amasung makhoigi sahar adu mei thadok-hankhi.
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].
Adudagi mahakna mahakki manaising adu kouraduna hairak-i, ‘Eina luhongbagi chaklen adu thourang touba loire, adubu eina lakpinaba haija warol pikhiba makhoising adu matik chadre.
9 So, go to the intersections of the main streets. Tell whomever you find that they should come to the [wedding] feast.’
Aduna houjik nakhoina maruoiba lambisingda chattuna nakhoina thengnaba mi khuding chaklen aduda lakpinaba haija warol piyu.’
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.
Adudagi manaising aduna lambida thokkhiduna makhoina aphangba aphaba-phattaba mi pumnamak purakle, amasung luhongbagi chaklen sang adu mina pumthan thankhre.
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].
“Adubu ningthou aduna chaklen aduda lakkhraba mising adubu yengba changlakpada luhongbagi phijon settaba nupa ama mahakna ure.
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].
Maduda ningthou aduna mangonda hanglak-i, ‘Marup, matou karamna nahakna luhongbagi phijon settana mapham asida changlaklibano?’ Adubu nupa aduna paokhum kari amata piramde.
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].’”
Adudagi ningthou aduna mahakki manaisingda hairak-i, ‘Mahakki makhong makhut punsilu, aduga mahakpu punduna mapan-gi amamba aduda langthokkho. Mapham aduda mahakna kapkani amasung maya krak krak chikkani.’”
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].”
“Maramdi mi mayam amabu kou-i, adubu khara khaktabu khalli.”
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.
Adudagi Pharisee-sing aduna thokkhiduna Jisugi wangangda asoiba thiduna karamna mahakpu phagadage haiduna wa tannarammi.
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.
Aduga makhoina makhoigi tung-inba khara amadi Herod-ki tung-inba kharabu Ibungogi manakta tharammi. Aduga makhoina Ibungoda hairak-i, “Oja Ibungo, Nahakna achumba ngangbi haiba eikhoina khang-i. Nahakna mina kari khanbage haibadu karisu kiba toudana Tengban Mapugi lambi adu chumna tambi, maramdi nahakna misak mimai yengde.
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?”
Aduna eikhoida haibiyu, Caesar-da kanggat thiba asi wayel kaibra nattraga kaidabra, nahakna kari khanbage?”
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.
Adubu Jisuna makhoigi phattaba pukning adu khangladuna hairak-i, “Aphasasinnabasa! Nakhoina eibu karigi chang yenglibage?
19 Show me [one of] the coins with [which people pay] the [Roman] tax.” So they showed him [a coin called] a denarius.
Kadai, kanggat thinaba sel mayek adu eingonda utlu!” Maduda makhoina sel mayek ama Ibungoda pire.
20 He said to them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?”
Aduga Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Masida namliba makok amadi maming asi kanagino?”
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].”
Makhoina Ibungoda khumlak-i, “Caesar-gini,” Adudagi Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Phare, adu oirabadi Caesar-gi oiba aduna Caesar-da aduga Tengban Mapugi oiba aduna Tengban Mapuda piyu.”
22 When those men heard Jesus say that, they marveled [that his answer did not enable anyone to accuse him]. Then they left Jesus.
Makhoina madu tabada ngaklammi; amasung Ibungobu thadoktuna chatkhirammi.
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.
Numit adumaktada sibadagi hinggatpa haibasi leite hairiba Sadducee-singna Jisugi nakta laktuna wahang ama hanglammi.
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].’
Makhoina Ibungoda hairak-i, Oja Ibungo, “Moses-na haibirammi madudi kanagumba nupa amana macha amata thamlamdana sikhiba thoklabadi, hairiba nupa asigi charol-surol thamlamnabagidamak magi machin-manaona lukhrabi adubu amuk lougadabani.
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].
Adu oirabadi, nupa amagi machin manao taret leirammi haina lourasi. Adudagi mayamba ahal adu nupi thire adubu macha amata thamamdana sire. Asumna mahakki nupi adu manao nupada thanamle.
26 The same thing [happened to] the third [brother], and also to the other four [brothers, who one by one married this same woman].
Matou adugumna anisuba, ahumsuba amadi makhoi mathang mathang makhoi teretmakta maduga chap manana thokle.
27 Last of all, the widow also died.
Aduga ikon konbada nupi adusu sire.
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.”
Adu oirabadi asibana hinggatpagi numit aduda nupi asi makhoi taretki manungda kanagi nupi oigadage? Maramdi makhoi taretmakna nupi adubu lourammi.”
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].
Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puya amadi Tengban Mapugi panggal adu khangdabagi maramna nakhoi lalle.
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].
Maramdi asibasingna amuk hinggatlakpa matam aduda makhoina amuk luhonglaroi, aduga luhongdunasu piraroi adubu makhoi swargada leiba swargadutsinggumna oigani.
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],
Aduga asibasing hinggatpagi maramda Tengban Mapuna nakhoida haikhiba adu nakhoina padabra?
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]!”
‘Eidi Abraham-gi Tengban Mapu, Isaac-ki Tengban Mapu, amasung Jacob-ki Tengban Mapuni.’ Mahakti asibasinggi Tengban Mapu natte, adubu ahingbasinggi Tengban Mapuni.”
33 When the crowds of people heard [Jesus teach] that, they were amazed.
Aduga miyam aduna madu taba matamda, mahakki tambiba aduda makhoi ngaklammi.
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].
Jisugi paokhum aduna Sadducee-sing adubu khumba ngamhandre haiba Pharisee-singn tarabada, makhoi masen pullap punsinare.
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,
Aduga makhoigi maraktagi Wayel Yathanggi oja amana Jisubu chang yengladuna wahang ama hanglak-i,
36 “Teacher, which commandment in the laws [that God gave Moses] is the most important?”
“Oja Ibungo, Tengban Mapugi Wayel Yathangsinggi manungdagi karamba yathangna khwaidagi athoiba yathangno?”
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.’
Maduda Jisuna mangonda khumlak-i, “‘Nahakna nahakki Tengban Mapu, MAPU IBUNGO-bu nahakki thamoi apumba, thawai apumba, pukning apumba yaona nungsigadabani.’
38 That is the most important commandment [in the laws that God gave Moses].
Masina ahanba amasung athoiba yathangni.
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.’
Aduga anisuba yathang aduna asini, ‘Nahakna nahakki yumlon-keironnabasingbu nasamakum nungsigadabani.’
40 These two commandments are the basis of every law [that Moses wrote in the Scriptures] and also of all that the prophets [wrote].”
Wayel Yathang apumba amasung Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichousinggi wa adu hairiba yathang ani asida suplabani.”
41 While the Pharisees were still gathered together [near] Jesus, he asked them,
Adudagi Pharisee-singna punsinduna leiringeida Jisuna makhoida hanglak-i,
42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?” They said to him, “[He is] the descendant of [King] David.”
“Christtagi maramda nakhoina kari khanbage? Mahak kanagi machanupano?” Makhoina Ibungoda khumlak-i, “David-ki machanupani.”
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]
Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, Thawai Asengbagi chingbibagi mapanna David-na mahakpu karamna ‘Mapu Ibungo’ haina kouribano? Maramdi David-na asumna haikhi,
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].”’
‘MAPU IBUNGO-na eigi Ibungoda hai: Phammu nahakna eigi yetthangbada, Thamdriphaoba eina nahakki yeknabasingbu, nanggi nakhong makhada.’
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]!”
David-na mangonda ‘Mapu Ibungo’ haina kourabadi, karamna mahakna David-ki machanupa oigadouribano?”
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].
Aduga mi kana amatana Jisuda wa amata khumba ngamdre amasung numit adudagi houna kana amatana Ibungoda ichang thouna wahang amata hangkhidre.
