Mataio 22
1 OLELO hou aku la o Iesu ia lakou i na olelonane, i aku la,
Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables.
2 Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me kekahi alii nana i hoomakaukau ka ahaaina no kana keiki.
“The kingdom of heaven,” he said, “may be compared to a king who gave a banquet in honor of his son’s wedding.
3 Hoouna aku la ia i kana poe kauwa e kii i ka poe i oleloia e hele mai i ka ahaaina; aka, aole lakou i makemake e hele mai.
He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the banquet, but they were unwilling to come.
4 Hoouna hou aku la ia i na kauwa e ae, i aku la, E i aku oukou i ka poe i oleloia, Eia hoi, ua hoomakaukau no wau i ka'u ahaaina, ua kaluaia ka'u mau bipi a me na mea i kupaluia, ua makaukau hoi na mea a pau; e hele mai oukou i ka ahaaina.
A second time he sent some servants, with orders to say to those who had been invited ‘I have prepared my meal, my cattle and fat beasts are killed and everything is ready; come to the banquet.’
5 Hoowahawaha mai la lakou, hele aku la; o kekahi ma kona aina, a o kekahi ma kana kuai ana.
They, however, took no notice, but went off, one to their farm, another to their business;
6 A o ka poe i koe, lalau mai la lakou i kana mau kauwa, hoomainoino mai la ia lakou, pepehi iho la a make.
while the rest, seizing his servants, ill-treated them and killed them.
7 A lohe ae la ke alii, huhu iho la ia, hoouna aku la ia i kona poe kana, luku aku la ia poe pepehi kanaka, a puhi aku la i ko lakou kulanakauhale.
The king, in anger, sent his troops, put those murderers to death, and set their city on fire.
8 Alaila, olelo aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, Ua makaukau nae ka abaaina; aole hoi i pono kela poe i oleloia.
Then he said to his servants ‘The banquet is prepared, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Nolaila, e hele aku oukou ma na huina alanui, a e koi aku i na mea a pau i loaa ia oukou, e hele mai i ka ahaaina.
So go to the cross-roads, and invite everyone you find to the banquet.’
10 Hele aku la ua poe kauwa la iwaho ma ke alanui, a houluulu mai la i na mea a pau i loaa ia lakou, o ka poe ino a me ka poe maikai; a nui iho la na hoaai ma ua ahaaina la.
The servants went out into the roads and collected all the people whom they found, whether bad or good; and the bridal-hall was filled with guests.
11 Komo aku la ke alii iloko e nana i ka poe hoaai, ike aku la ia ilaila i kekahi kanaka aole i kahikoia i ke kapa alumina.
But, when the king went in to see his guests, he noticed there a man who had not put on a wedding-robe.
12 I aku la kela ia ia, E ka hoalauna, pehea la oe i hele mai nei, aole i kahikoia i ke kapa ahaaina? Mumule loa iho la ia.
So he said to him ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?’ The man was speechless.
13 Alaila, i aku la ua alii la i ka poe lawelawe, E nakiki iho ia ia a paa ma na wawae e me na lima, e lawe aku ia ia, a e hoolei aku iloko o ka pouli mawaho; ilaila e uwe ai a e uwi ai na niho.
Then the king said to the attendants ‘Tie him hand and foot, and put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
14 No ka mea, he nui ka poe i kaheaia, he uuku hoi ka poe i waeia,
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Alaila hele aku la ka poe Parisaio, kukakuka ae la i ka mea e hoohihia ia ia i kana olelo ana.
Then the Pharisees went away and conferred together as to how they might lay a trap for Jesus in the course of conversation.
16 Hoouna mai la lakou io na la i na haumana a lakou me kekahi poe Herodiano, i mai la, E ke Kumu, ke ike nei makou, he oiaio kau, a ke ao mai nei oe i ka aoao o ke Akua me ka oiaio, aole oe i paewaewa ma ka kekahi, aole hoi i manao i ko waho o ke kanaka.
They sent their disciples, with the Herodians, to say to him, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest person, and that you teach the way of God honestly, and are not afraid of anyone; for you pay no regard to a person’s position.
17 E hai mai hoi oe, heaha kou manao? He mea pono anei ke hookupu waiwai ia Kaisara? aole anei?
Tell us, then, what you think. Are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?”
18 Ike ae la o Iesu i ko lakou manao ino ana, i aku la, E ka poe hookamani, no ke aha la oukou e hoao mai nei ia'u?
Perceiving their malice, Jesus answered, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
19 E hoike mai ia'u i kekahi moni hookupu. A lawe mai la lakou io na la i kekahi denari.
Show me the coin with which the tax is paid.” And, when they had brought him a coin,
20 Ninau aku la oia ia lakou, Nowai keia kii a me ka palapala?
he asked, “Whose head and title are these?”
21 I mai la lakou ia ia, No Kaisara. Alaila, i aku la oia ia lakou, E haawi aku i ka Kaisara ia Kaisara, a i ka ke Akua hoi i ke Akua.
“The Emperor’s,” they answered, at which he said to them, “Then pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
22 A lohe ae la lakou, kahaha iho la, haalele mai la lakou ia ia a hele aku la.
They wondered at his answer, and left him alone and went away.
23 Ia la hoi, hele mai la io na la ka poe Sadukaio, ka poe i olelo, Aole alahouana; ninau mai la lakou ia ia.
That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this, –
24 I mai la, E ke Kumu, i olelo mai o Mose, Ina e make kekahi kanaka aohe ana keiki, e mare no kona kaikaina i kana wahine e hoala mai i hua na kona kaikuaana.
“Teacher, Moses said – ‘should a man die without children, the man’s brother will become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.’
25 Ehiku mau hoahanau me makou: mare iho la ka makahiapo i wahine, a make iho la, aohe ana keiki; a lilo aku la kana wahine na kona kaikaina.
Now we had living among us seven brothers; of whom the eldest married and died, and, as he had no family, left his wife for his brother.
26 Pela aku hoi ka lua a me ke kolu a hiki aku la i ka hiku o lakou.
The same thing happened to the second and the third brothers, and indeed to all the seven.
27 Mahope iho o lakou a pau, make iho la hoi ua wahine la.
The woman herself died last of all.
28 Nolaila, i ke alahouana, na ka mea hea o lakou a ehiku ua wahine la? no ka mea, he wahine ia na lakou a pau mamua.
At the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be out of the seven, all of them having been married to her?”
29 Olelo aku la o Iesu ia lakou, i aku la, Ua lalau oukou, i ka ike ole i ka palapala hemolele, a me ka mana o ke Akua.
“Your mistake,” replied Jesus, “is due to your ignorance of the scriptures, and of the power of God.
30 No ka mea, i ke alahouana, aole lakou e mare, aole hoi e hoopalau; aka, ua like lakou me na anela o ke Akua i ka lani.
For at the resurrection there is no marrying or being married, but all who rise are as angels in heaven.
31 A, no ke alahouana o ka poe i make, aole anei oukou i heluhelu i ka ke Akua olelo ia oukou, e i mai ana,
As to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read these words of God –
32 Owau no ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua o Iakoba? O ke Akua, aole ia he Akua no ka poe i make, no ka poe ola no.
‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of dead people, but of living.”
33 A lohe ae la ka poe kanaka, kahaha iho la lakou i kana ao ana.
The crowds, who had been listening to him, were greatly struck with his teaching.
34 Lohe ae la ka poe Parisaio, ua paa ia ia ka waha o ka poe Sadukaio, akoakoa mai la lakou io na la:
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they collected together.
35 A ninau mai la kekahi o lakou, ho kakaolelo, hoao mai la ia ia, i mai la,
Then one of them, a Student of the Law, to test him, asked this question –
36 E ke Kumu, heaha ke kauoha nui iloko o ke kanawai?
“Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 I aku la o Iesu ia ia, E aloha aku oe ia Iehova i kou Akua me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau, a me kou manao a pau.
His answer was, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 O ka mua keia a me ke kauoha nui.
This is the great first commandment.
39 Ua like hoi ka lua me ia, E aloha aku oe i kou hoalauna me oe ia oe iho.
The second, which is like it, is this – You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.
40 Maluna o keia mau kauoha elua, ke kau nei ke kanawai a pau a me na kaula.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets.”
41 A akoakoa mai ka poe Parisaio, ninau aku la Iesu ia lakou,
Before the Pharisees separated, Jesus put this question to them –
42 I aku la, Heaha ko oukou manao no ka Mesia. He mamo ia nawai? I mai la lakou, Na Davida.
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” “David’s,” they said.
43 I aku la oia ia lakou, Pehea la hoi o Davida i kapa ai ia ia ma ka Uhane, he Haku? i ka i ana,
“How is it, then,” Jesus replied, “that David, speaking under inspiration, calls him ‘lord,’ in the passage –
44 Olelo aku la ka Haku i kuu Haku, E noho mai oe ma kuu lima akau, a hoolilo iho ai au i kou poe enemi i keehana wawae nou.
‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet’?
45 Ina hoi o Davida i kapa aku ia ia he Haku, pehea la ia e mamo ai nana?
Since, then, David calls him ‘lord,’ how is he David’s son?”
46 Aole i hiki i kekahi ke ekemu iki mai ia ia, aole hoi kekahi i aa e ninau hou mai ia ia mai ia wa iho.
No one could say a word in answer; nor did anyone after that day venture to question him further.
