Mateo 22
1 Yesu gado lo bubu na ameha la gblɔ be,
And Iesus answered and spake vnto them agayne in similitudes sayinge.
2 “Dziƒofiaɖuƒe la le abe fia aɖe si ɖo srɔ̃ɖekplɔ̃ gã aɖe na via ene.
The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne
3 Wokpe ame geɖewo ɖe kplɔ̃ sia ŋu, eye esi nu sia nu sɔ gbe vɔ la, fia la ɖo dɔlawo ɖe ame kpekpeawo be woava, elabena ɣeyiɣi la ɖo be wɔnawo nadze egɔme, gake ame kpekpeawo katã gbe womeva o.
and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.
4 Fia la gadɔ dɔla bubuwo ɖo ɖe ame kpekpeawo gbɔ kple gbedeasi sia be, ‘Mewu nye nyitsu kple lã damiwo, nuɖuɖu la bi, eya ta miva. Ame sia ame neɖe abla va.’
Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.
5 “Ke esi ame kpekpeawo se nya sia la, ɖeko woko nu, eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzo yi nu si dze eŋu la wɔ ge; ɖeka yi eƒe agble me, eye bubu yi asigbe.
But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise
6 Ke ɖewo do dɔmedzoe ɖe dɔlawo ŋu, ƒo wo vevie, eye woɖi gbɔ̃ ɖewo gɔ̃ hã.
the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7 “Fia la do dɔmedzoe, ale wòdɔ eƒe asrafowo woyi ɖawu hlɔ̃dola siawo, eye wotɔ dzo woƒe du la wòbi keŋ.
When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.
8 Esia megbe la fia la gblɔ na eƒe dɔlawo be, ‘Nu sia nu sɔ gbe na ŋkeke la ɖuɖu, gake ame siwo mekpe la medze na bubu si mede wo ŋu o,
Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.
9 eya ta miyi mɔtatawo dzi kple ablɔwo ƒe dzogoewo me, eye ame sia ame si miakpɔ ko la, mikpee va kplɔ̃ la ŋuti.’
Go ye therfore out into ye hyewayes and as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.
10 “Dɔlawo wɔ ɖe nya sia dzi, eye eteƒe medidi o, wokplɔ amewo vɛ fũu, ame nyuiwo kple ame baɖawo siaa, eye ale srɔ̃ɖekplɔ̃ la ŋu yɔ fũu kple amewo.
The seruauntes wet out into the hiewayes and gaddered to gedder as many as they coulde fynde both good and bad and ye weddinge was furnysshed with gestes.
11 Esi fia la ŋutɔ va do be yeado gbe na ame kpekpeawo la, ekpɔ ame ɖeka le wo dome si medo srɔ̃ɖewu si wotsɔ nɛ be wòado la o.
Then the kynge came in to viset the gestes and spyed there a ma which had not on a weddinge garment
12 “Fia la biae be, ‘Xɔ̃nye, aleke wɔ mèdo srɔ̃ɖewu hafi va afi sia o?’ Ke ŋutsu la ƒe nu tsi te, elabena menya nya si tututu wòagblɔ o.
and sayde vnto him: frende how fortuned it that thou camest in hither and hast not on a weddyng garment? And he was eve spechlesse.
13 “Fia la ɖe gbe na eŋutimewo be, ‘Mibla eƒe asiwo kple afɔwo, eye miatsɔe aƒu gbe ɖe blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi me le xexe, afi si avifafa kple aɖukliɖuɖu anɔ,’
Then sayde the kynge to his ministers: take and bynde hym hand and fote and caste hym into vtter darcknes there shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth.
14 “Elabena woyɔ ame geɖewo, ke ame ʋɛ aɖewo koe nye ame siwo wotia.”
For many are called and feawe be chosen.
15 Esia megbe la, Farisitɔwo kpe ta, eye wode ŋugble le ale si woawɔ atsɔ biabia aɖe atre mɔ na Yesu, alée la ŋu.
Then wet the Pharises and toke counsell how they might tagle him in his wordes.
16 Wodɔ woƒe nusrɔ̃la aɖewo kpe ɖe Herod dunyahelawo ŋu, eye wobiae be, “Nufiala, míenyae be ame si de blibo lae nènye, eye nèfiaa Mawu ƒe mɔ le nyateƒe la nu. Amewo ƒe nyagbɔgblɔ meblea nuwò o, elabena mètsɔa ɖeke le nu si wonye la me o.
And they sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes servauntes sayinge: Master we knowe yt thou are true and teachest the waye of god trulie nether carest for eny man for thou consydrest not menes estate.
17 Azɔ gblɔe na mí, nu kae nye wò susu? Ele eteƒe be woadzɔ duga na Kaisaro loo alo mele eteƒe o?”
Tell vs therfore: how thynkest thou? Is it lawfull to geve tribute vnto Cesar or not?
18 Ke Yesu nya nu vɔ̃ɖi si woɖo ɖe ta me, eya ta ebia wo be, “Mi alakpanuwɔlawo! Ame ka miedi be yewoatre mɔ na kple miaƒe ayebiabia sia?
Iesus perceaved their wikednes and sayde: Why tempte ye me ye ypocrites?
19 Mitsɔ kɔba aɖe si wotsɔna xea dugae la vɛ nam makpɔ.” Eye wotsɔ Roma ga ɖeka va fiae.
Let me se ye tribute money. And they toke hym a peny.
20 Azɔ ebia wo be, “Ame ka ƒe nɔnɔmetatae le ga sia dzi, eye ame ka ƒe ŋkɔe le ete?”
And he sayde vnto them: whose is this ymage and superscripcion?
21 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Kaisaro tɔe.” Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo, mitsɔ nu sia nu si nye Kaisaro tɔ la na Kaisaro, eye miatsɔ nu sia nu si nye Mawu hã tɔ la na Mawu.”
They sayde vnto him: Cesars. Then sayde he vnto them. Geve therfore to Cesar that which is Cesars: and geve vnto god that which is goddes.
22 Esi wose eƒe ŋuɖoɖoa la, wotsi yaa, elabena ewɔ nuku na wo ŋutɔ be wòɖo nya la ŋu nyuie alea, eya ta wogblẽe ɖi hedzo.
When they hearde that they marveled and lefte hym and went there waye.
23 Gake le gbe ma gbe ke la, Zadukitɔ aɖewo, ame siwo mexɔe se be ame kukuwo atsi tsitre le nuwuwua o la va egbɔ va biae be,
The same daye the Saduces came to him (which saye that there is no resurrcecion) and axed him
24 “Aƒetɔ, Mose de se na mí be ne ŋutsu aɖe ɖe srɔ̃, eye medzi vi hafi ku o la, nɔvia ŋutsu naɖe ahosi la, eye wòadzi vi kplii, ale be ɖeviawo nanyi ameyinugbe la ƒe dome.
sayinge: Master Moses bade yf a man dye havinge no chyldre that the brother mary his wyfe and reyse vp seed vnto his brother.
25 Azɔ nɔviŋutsu adre aɖewo nɔ mia dome, woƒe tsitsitɔ ɖe srɔ̃, gake medzi vi kple nyɔnu la hafi ku o, ale eyometɔ xɔ ahosi la ɖe.
Ther were wt vs seven brethre and the fyrste maried and deceased wt oute yssue and lefte his wyfe vnto his brother.
26 Gake eya hã medzi vi aɖeke kple nyɔnu sia hafi ku o, eye wo nɔvi etɔ̃lia xɔ ahosi la ɖe, gake kpao, eya hã ku vimadzimadzii. Ale nɔviŋutsu adreawo katã ɖe nyɔnu sia kpɔ, gake ɖeke medzi vi kplii o.
Lykewise the seconde and ye thryd vnto the sevethe.
27 Mlɔeba la, nyɔnu la ŋutɔ hã va ku.
Laste of all the woman dyed also.
28 Biabia lae nye be, ame ka tɔ nyɔnu sia azu le tsitretsitsiŋkeke la dzi? Elabena eɖe nɔvi adreawo katã kpɔ!”
Now in the resurreccion whose wyfe shall she be of the seven? For all had her.
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Miewɔ vodada gã aɖe ŋutɔ, elabena mienya mawunya kple Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ o.
Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.
30 Le tsitretsitsiŋkeke la dzi la, srɔ̃ɖeɖe maganɔ anyi o; amewo katã anɔ abe mawudɔla siwo le dziƒo ene.
For in the resurreccion they nether mary nor are maryed: but are as the angels of God in heven.
31 Ke le ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi ŋuti la, mabia mi be miexlẽ mawunya kpɔ oa? Mienyae be miawoe Mawu nɔ nu ƒom na esi wògblɔ be,
As touchynge the resurreccion of the deed: have ye not redde what is sayde vnto you of God which sayeth:
32 ‘Nyee nye Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ƒe Mawu’ oa? Eya ta minyae be Mawu la menye ame kukuwo ƒe Mawu wònye o, ke boŋ ame gbagbewo ƒe Mawu wònye.”
I am Abrahams God and Ysaacks God and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the deed: but of the lyvinge.
33 Yesu ƒe ŋuɖoɖo la wɔ nuku na ameha la ŋutɔ.
And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.
34 Ke esi Farisitɔwo se be Yesu de ga nu na Zadukitɔwo la, woƒo wo ɖokuiwo nu ƒu,
When the Pharises had hearde how yt he had put the Saduces to silence they drewe to gedder
35 eye wo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si nye sefiala gã aɖe la tee kpɔ hebiae be,
and one of them which was a doctoure of lawe axed a question teptinge h m and sayinge:
36 “Nufiala, se kae nye gãtɔ wu le Mose ƒe seawo dome?”
Master which is ye chefe comaundment in the lawe?
37 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Lɔ̃ Aƒetɔ wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò susu katã.
Iesus sayde vnto him: love the Lorde thy God wt all thine herte with all thy soule and with all thy mynde.
38 Esiae nye se gbãtɔ kple gãtɔ wu.
This is the fyrst and the chefe comaundement.
39 Esi gakplɔe ɖo lae nye be, nàlɔ̃ hawòvi abe ale si nèlɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ ɖokuiwò ene.
And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
40 Wotu se bubuawo katã kple Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nyawo ɖe se eve siawo dzi.”
In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.
41 Esia megbe la, Farisitɔwo va ƒo xlãe, eye wòbia wo be,
Whyll the Pharises were gaddered togeder Iesus axed
42 “Aleke miekpɔ tso Kristo la ŋutɔ ŋu? Ame ka ƒe vie wònye?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “David ƒe vie!”
the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.
43 Yesu gabia wo be, “Ne enye David ƒe vi ɖe, nu ka ta esi Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la va David dzi wònɔ nu ƒom la, wòyɔ Kristo la be ‘Aƒetɔ’ ɖo? Miakpɔe le mawunya me be David gblɔ be,
He sayde vnto the: how then doeth David in spirite call him Lorde sayinge?
44 “‘Mawu gblɔ na nye Aƒetɔ be: “Nɔ anyi ɖe nye nuɖusime va se ɖe esime matsɔ wò ketɔwo ade wò afɔ te.”’
The Lorde sayde to my Lorde syt on my right honde: tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.
45 Esime David yɔ Kristo la be, ‘Aƒetɔ’ ɖe, aleke wɔ wòganye via?”
Yf David call him Lorde: how is he then his sonne?
46 Nyateƒe, biabia la lolo wu wo, ale womete ŋu ɖo eŋuti o. Esia megbe la, ame aɖeke medo dzi gabia nya aɖekee o.
And none coulde answere him ageyne one worde: nether dueste eny from that daye forth axe him eny moo questions.
