Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,
Jesu tún fi òwe sọ̀rọ̀ fún wọn wí pé:
2 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,
“Ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ọba kan ti ó múra àsè ìgbéyàwó ńlá fún ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin.
3 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.
Ó rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ pe àwọn tí a ti pè tẹ́lẹ̀ sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fẹ́ wá.
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;
“Lẹ́yìn náà ó tún rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mìíràn pé, ‘Ẹ sọ fún àwọn tí mo ti pè wí pé, mo ti ṣe àsè náà tán. A pa màlúù àti ẹran àbọ́pa mi, a ti ṣe ohun gbogbo tán, ẹ wa sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó.’
5 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó ránṣẹ́ lọ pè kò kà á si. Wọ́n ń bá iṣẹ́ wọn lọ, ọ̀kan sí ọ̀nà oko rẹ̀, òmíràn sí ibi òwò rẹ̀.”
6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].
Àwọn ìyókù sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n ṣe àbùkù sí wọn, wọ́n lù wọ́n pa.
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;
Ọba yìí bínú gidigidi, ó sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, ó sì pa àwọn apànìyàn náà run, ó sì jó ìlú wọn.
8 then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
“Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Àsè ìgbéyàwó ti ṣe tàn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí a pè kò yẹ fún ọlá náà.
9 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.
Ẹ lọ sí ìgboro àti òpópónà kí ẹ sì pe ẹnikẹ́ni tí ẹ bá lè rí wá àsè ìgbéyàwó náà.’
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.
Nítorí náà, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì jáde lọ sí òpópónà. Wọ́n sì mú oríṣìíríṣìí ènìyàn tí wọ́n lè rí wá, àwọn tí ò dára àti àwọn tí kò dára, ilé àsè ìyàwó sì kún fún àlejò.
11 'And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,
“Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọba sì wọlé wá láti wo àwọn àlejò tí a pè, ó sì rí ọkùnrin kan nínú wọn tí kò wọ aṣọ ìgbéyàwó.
12 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.
Ọba sì bi í pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, báwo ni ìwọ ṣe wà níhìn-ín yìí láìní aṣọ ìgbéyàwó?’ Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin náà kò ní ìdáhùn kankan.
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;
“Nígbà náà ni ọba wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ dì í tọwọ́ tẹsẹ̀, kí ẹ sì sọ ọ́ sínú òkùnkùn lóde níbi tí ẹkún àti ìpayínkeke wà.’
14 for many are called, and few chosen.'
“Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ni a pè ṣùgbọ́n díẹ̀ ni a yàn.”
15 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Farisi péjọpọ̀ láti ronú ọ̀nà tì wọn yóò gbà fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mú un.
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;
Wọ́n sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Herodu lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Olùkọ́, àwa mọ̀ pé olóòtítọ́ ni ìwọ, ìwọ sì ń kọ́ni ní ọ̀nà Ọlọ́run ní òtítọ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì í wo ojú ẹnikẹ́ni; nítorí tí ìwọ kì í ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn.
17 tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
Nísinsin yìí sọ fún wa, kí ni èrò rẹ? Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti san owó orí fún Kesari tàbí kò tọ́?”
18 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, 'Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu ti mọ èrò búburú inú wọn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin àgàbàgebè, èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń dán mi wò?
19 show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;
Ẹ fi owó ẹyọ tí a fi ń san owó orí kan hàn mi.” Wọn mú dínárì kan wá fún un,
20 and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image and the inscription?'
ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Àwòrán ta ni èyí? Àkọlé tà sì ní?”
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;'
Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Ti Kesari ni.” “Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún wọn pé,” “Ẹ fi èyí tí í ṣe ti Kesari fún Kesari, ẹ sì fi èyí ti ṣe ti Ọlọ́run fún Ọlọ́run.”
22 and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ẹnu yà wọ́n. Wọ́n fi í sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì bá tiwọn lọ.
23 In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ kan náà, àwọn Sadusi tí wọ́n sọ pé kò si àjíǹde lẹ́yìn ikú tọ Jesu wá láti bi í ní ìbéèrè,
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.
wọ́n wí pé, “Olùkọ́, Mose wí fún wa pé, bí ọkùnrin kan bá kú ní àìlọ́mọ, kí arákùnrin rẹ̀ ṣú aya rẹ̀ lópó, kí ó sì bí ọmọ fún un.
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;
Bí ó bá jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, láàrín wa níhìn-ín yìí, ìdílé kan wà tí ó ní arákùnrin méje. Èyí èkínní nínú wọn gbéyàwó, lẹ́yìn náà ó kú ní àìlọ́mọ. Nítorí náà ìyàwó rẹ̀ di ìyàwó arákùnrin kejì.
26 in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ arákùnrin èkejì náà sì tún kú láìlọ́mọ. A sì fi ìyàwó rẹ̀ fún arákùnrin tí ó tún tẹ̀lé e. Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni títí tí òun fi di ìyàwó ẹni keje.
27 and last of all died also the woman;
Níkẹyìn obìnrin náà pàápàá sì kú.
28 therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?'
Nítorí tí ó ti ṣe ìyàwó àwọn arákùnrin méjèèje, ìyàwó ta ni yóò jẹ́ ní àjíǹde òkú?”
29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Àìmọ̀kan yín ni ó fa irú ìbéèrè báyìí. Nítorí ẹ̀yin kò mọ Ìwé Mímọ́ àti agbára Ọlọ́run.
30 for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.
Nítorí ní àjíǹde kò ní sí ìgbéyàwó, a kò sì ní fi í fún ni ní ìyàwó. Gbogbo ènìyàn yóò sì dàbí àwọn angẹli ní ọ̀run.
31 'And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, nípa ti àjíǹde òkú, tàbí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run ń bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ nígbà ti ó wí pé:
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.'
‘Èmi ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run Isaaki, àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.’ Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run òkú, ṣùgbọ́n tí àwọn alààyè.”
33 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;
Nígbà ti àwọn ènìyàn gbọ́ èyí ẹnu yà wọ́n sí ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ.
34 and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;
Nígbà ti wọ́n sì gbọ́ pé ó ti pa àwọn Sadusi lẹ́nu mọ́, àwọn Farisi pé ara wọn jọ.
35 and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ṣe amòfin dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè yìí.
36 'Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?'
Ó wí pé, “Olùkọ́ èwo ni ó ga jùlọ nínú àwọn òfin?”
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 —
Jesu dáhùn pé, “‘Fẹ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, gbogbo ẹ̀mí rẹ àti gbogbo inú rẹ.’
38 this is a first and great command;
Èyí ni òfin àkọ́kọ́ àti èyí tí ó tóbi jùlọ.
39 and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
Èkejì tí ó tún dàbí rẹ̀ ní pé, ‘Fẹ́ràn ọmọnìkejì rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ara rẹ.’
40 on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.'
Lórí àwọn òfin méjèèjì yìí ni gbogbo òfin àti àwọn wòlíì rọ̀ mọ́.”
41 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,
Bí àwọn Farisi ti kó ara wọn jọ, Jesu béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé,
42 saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'
“Kí ni ẹ rò nípa Kristi? Ọmọ ta ni òun ń ṣe?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ọmọ Dafidi.”
43 He saith to them, 'How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kí lo dé tí Dafidi, tí ẹ̀mí ń darí, pè é ní ‘Olúwa’? Nítorí ó wí pé,
44 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?
“‘Olúwa sọ fún Olúwa mi pé, “Jókòó ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi títí tí èmi yóò fi fi àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ sí abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ.”’
45 If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'
Ǹjẹ́ bí Dafidi bá pè é ni ‘Olúwa,’ báwo ni òun ṣe lè jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀?”
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.
Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó lè sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan ni ìdáhùn, kò tún sí ẹni tí ó tún bí i léèrè ohun kan mọ́ láti ọjọ́ náà mọ́.
