Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,
Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ no se fai nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae,
2 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,
“Lamatualain toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ maneꞌ sa tao fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ fee ana toun.
3 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.
Leleꞌ ara sadꞌia rala fefetas ma, ana denu ate nara reu rafadꞌe atahori nene neroloꞌ ra oi, ‘Ima, te fefetas sangga nae mulai ena.’ Te atahori naa ra nda nau rema sa.
4 'Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;
Basa ma, ate ra baliꞌ reu rafadꞌe maneꞌ a. Maneꞌ a rena nala ma ana denu aten laen fai nae, ‘Hei mii mifadꞌe atahori naa ra, fo rema leo, te fefetas nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena. Au tati sapi a ena, ma tunu-nasu ala e maladꞌan seli. Denu se rema raa fefetas leo, huu basaꞌ e nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena.’
5 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
Ate naa ra reu rafadꞌe raꞌo naa. Te atahori nene neroloꞌ ra nda nau taoafiꞌ sa. Ruma osi rala reu, ruma reu sia mamana tao ue-osan nara,
6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].
ma ruma toꞌu rala maneꞌ a ate nara, de poko-paru se losa ara mate.
7 'And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;
Rena onaꞌ naa ma, maneꞌ a namanasa nala seli. Basa ma, ana denu soldꞌadꞌu nara reu tati risa atahori mana tati risa ate nara. Basa de, soldꞌadꞌu ra hotu-lalangge hendi nusaꞌ naa losa taa no rae a.
8 then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
Basa ma, maneꞌ a noꞌe nala ate laen nara de nafadꞌe se nae, “Fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena, te atahori fo au uroloꞌ ra, nda randaa tungga au fefeta ngga sa.
9 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.
Ia na, ama mii sia dala rarameꞌ fo mindaa mo sudꞌiꞌ a se, na moꞌe mendi se.’
10 'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.
Basa de, ate naa ra lao reu sia dala rarameꞌ ra. Ara randaa ro atahori hetar mia naa, de ro se risiꞌ fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a. Hambu atahori maloleꞌ ma atahori nda maloleꞌ ra sa rema tao rasofe mamana fefetas a.
11 'And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,
Basa ma, maneꞌ a nisi mamana fefetas rala neu de mete rereoꞌ fuiꞌ ra. Ma ana nita atahori esa nda pake buꞌa-baꞌu fefetas sa.
12 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.
Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, ‘Hee, toronooꞌ! saa de misiꞌ mamanaꞌ ia, na nda pake bua-baꞌu fefetas saa?’ Te atahori naa titindindii onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e.
13 'Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;
Boe ma maneꞌ a parenda ana mana tungga nara nae, paꞌa atahori ia ei-lima nara, fo toꞌu nggari e dea neu. Hela e nggae ma doidꞌoso sia mamana maꞌahatuꞌ naa.’
14 for many are called, and few chosen.'
Onaꞌ naa boe, Lamatualain narolo atahori hetar, te tengga nala akaꞌ idꞌaꞌ dadꞌi neu Eni atahorin.’
15 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,
Atahori Farisi ra rena rala Yesus olaꞌ naꞌo naa, ma rala haraꞌ fo rae teꞌe-sii ma fua salaꞌ neu E.
16 and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;
Basa ma ara denu ana mana tungga nara reu ro atahori mia Herodes partei politik na, fo reu raselu-bale ro Yesus. Ara koa-boꞌu Yesus rae, “Ama Meser! Hai mihine Amaꞌ ralan ndoos. Amaꞌ nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ ma nda pili-tadꞌa sa. Amaꞌ akaꞌ nanori Lamatualain Hara-liin no matetuꞌ.
17 tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
De ia na, hai mae mitane dalaꞌ sa. Tungga hita atoran agama Yahudi na, ata musi bae bea neu mana parenda Roma manen, do afiꞌ?”
18 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, 'Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?
Te Yesus nahine ara rae teꞌe-sii E, fo Ana olaꞌ labꞌan mana parenda Roma. Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Memaꞌ hei atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ! Taꞌo bee de hei mae teꞌe-sii Au mendiꞌ soꞌal naa?
19 show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;
Mitudꞌu sobꞌa Au doi fulaꞌ sa fo atahori bae rendiꞌ neu bea!” Boe ma ara ratudꞌu doi fulaꞌ neu E.
20 and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image and the inscription?'
Basa ma, Ana natane se nae, “Ia seka mata-aon ia? Ma ia seka naran ia?”
21 they say to him, 'Caesar's;' then saith he to them, 'Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
Ara rataa rae, “Naa keser, mana parenda Roma mane monaen.” Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, “Naa! Mete ma taꞌo naa, hei fee neu mana parenda, saa fo mana parenda hak na. Ma fee neu Lamatualain saa fo Lamatualain hak na.”
22 and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
Rena Ana nataa naꞌo naa, ma basa se titindindii, huu Ana olaꞌ naa ndaa na. Naa de ara nda teꞌe-sii rala E sa. Boe ma ara lao hela E.
23 In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
Sia naa hambu atahori mia partei Saduki boe. Atahori mia partei Saduki ia, nanori nae, atahori mates ra nda rasodꞌa baliꞌ sa. Faiꞌ naa, ara rae sangga dalaꞌ fo teꞌe-sii Yesus. Naeni de ara rema raselu-bale ro E rae,
24 'Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother.
“Ama Meser! Baꞌi Musa suraꞌ hela fee hai, adat ia, nae: mete ma touꞌ esa mate hela saon, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, na, touꞌ naa odꞌin musi sao nala ina falu naa, naa fo ana bonggi fee aꞌan mana mateꞌ a tititi-nonosiꞌ.
25 'And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;
Memaꞌ, feꞌesaꞌan baꞌi Musa nanori taꞌo naa, te ia na hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: hambu touꞌ hitu odꞌi-aꞌa bonggiꞌ. Uluꞌ ka sao, te mate, nda ma anaꞌ sa. Boe ma odꞌin mana tungga e, sao nala ina falu naa.
26 in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
Nda dooꞌ sa ma ana mate fai, ma nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa boe odꞌin ka telun, ana sao nala ina falu naa, te basa ma mate fai, te nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa rakandondooꞌ a losa odꞌin muriꞌ a mate, nda lao hela anaꞌ sa.
27 and last of all died also the woman;
Basa ma, ina falu a mate.
28 therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?'
Naa! Hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: Inaꞌ naa sao nala touꞌ hitu ena. Mete ma neu mateteꞌen, Lamatuaꞌ nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra na, inaꞌ ia dadꞌi touꞌ bee ka saon?”
29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
Basa ma, Yesus nataa nae, “Mete ma hei mitane taꞌo naa, na, hei sala naeꞌ ena ma! Huu hei nda mihine Lamatualain Susuran liin sa. Ma nda mihine koasa manaselin sa!
30 for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.
Matetun, taꞌo ia. Neꞌo, mete ma Lamatualain nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra, ara esa nda sao esa sa ena, onaꞌ ate nara mana sia sorga ra.
31 'And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Boe ma Au ae olaꞌ soꞌal atahori mana mateꞌ ra rasodꞌa baliꞌ, do hokoꞌ. Sia baꞌi Musa susuran ra nenedꞌuiꞌ oi hau huu anaꞌ nene tunu-hotuꞌ te nda kadꞌe hendi e sa. Mia dudꞌuit naa, hita tahine tae, atahori mana mateꞌ ra bisa rasodꞌa baliꞌ boe. Huu Lamatualain nafadꞌe baꞌi Musa mia naa nae,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'
‘Au ia, bei-baꞌi mara Lamatualain na. Naeni baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak, ma baꞌi Yakob. Basa se beꞌutee neu Au rakandoo losa ia nema.’ Naa! Hita tahine tae, leleꞌ Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ naꞌo naa, te basa baꞌiꞌ naa ra mate se dooꞌ ena. Huu Lamatualain nae Eni feꞌe dadꞌi nakandoo sira Lamatuan. Naeni de ata tahine tae, ao samana nara rasodꞌa rakandoo, mae ara mate dooꞌ ena. De mae atahori mate o, ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Huu akaꞌ atahori masodꞌaꞌ beꞌutee neu Lamatualain, nda atahori mates ra sa to?!”
33 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;
Rena Yesus nanori naꞌo naa, ma atahori Saduki ra nda ritaꞌ rae bale saa sa ena boe. Te atahori hetar naa ra titindindii de olaꞌ rae, “Awii! Atahori ia nenorin manaseliꞌ tebꞌe, o!”
34 and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra rena rae, Yesus nasenggiꞌ atahori Saduki ra, ma ara raꞌabꞌue reu esa de rae ratane rasafafali E.
35 and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,
Sira mana mahine agaman esa nae teꞌe-sii sobꞌa Yesus nae,
36 'Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?'
“Ama Meser! Au ae utane taꞌo ia: hita adat na hohoro-lalanen, no agama parendan ra, hetar. Mia basa parendaꞌ fo mana mia baꞌi Musa naa, bee ka manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ?”
37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding —
Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Parendaꞌ fo manaseliꞌ sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren nae, taꞌo ia: ‘Lamatualain naa, hei Lamatuam. De ama musi sue lenaꞌ e mia basaꞌ e. Huu naa, hei musi hii E mikindooꞌ a, ma mihine E, ma manggate tao ues tungga Hihii-nanaun.’
38 this is a first and great command;
Parendaꞌ naa, pantin ma manaseliꞌ!
39 and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
Boe ma parendaꞌ ka ruan, naꞌo ia: Musi sue atahori laen ra, onaꞌ ho sue aom boe.’
40 on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.'
Parendaꞌ rua ra ia ra, naeni huuꞌ mia basa baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen no Lamatualain mana dui-bꞌengga nara nenorin. Neꞌo atahori nda tungga parendaꞌ laen ra sa, mete ma ana nda feꞌe tungga naꞌahuluꞌ parendaꞌ karuaꞌ ia ra sa.”
41 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra feꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia naa, ma Yesus natane baliꞌ se nae,
42 saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'
“Mia lele uluꞌ a Lamatualain helu haitua Kristus fo fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori nara. De tungga hei dudꞌuꞌa mara, Kristus naa, seka tititi-nonosin?” Boe ma ara rataa rae, “Eni, mane Daud tititi-nonosin.”
43 He saith to them, 'How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,
Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, taꞌo bee de Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu mane Daud fo noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatua’? Te Daud suraꞌ ena nae,
44 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?
‘Lamatualain nafadꞌe au Lamatua ngga ena nae, “Uma fo endoꞌ sia bobꞌoa ona ngga, sia mamana nene fee hadꞌa-hormat ia. Huu dei fo Au tao musu mara, losa ara raloe ao nara neu nggo.’”
45 If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'
Naa! Mia susura naa, hita tahine tae, mane Daud o noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’. Dadꞌi mete ma atahori rae Kristus naa, akaꞌ mane Daud tititi-nonosin, naa feꞌe nda dai sa! Huu Eni o Mane Daud Lamatuan boe!”
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.
Rena Yesus ola naꞌo naa ma, atahori Farisi ra hie-hie reuꞌ ena, nda hambu atahori esa saa sa boe bisa nataa nasafali Yesus sa ena. Naa de eniꞌ a mia faiꞌ naa ma, ara ramatau ratane ena, ma nda rambarani sobꞌa teꞌe-sii E sa ena.
