Matai 22
1 UYeisu pu akhamula hange akhanchova nufihwani hata, “
Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2 Uludeva lwa khukyanya luhwanine ndunkuludeva uviatelikhe ifinu vutenghulani vwa munu viatolangha udala.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 Pu akhavasuha avavombi vamwene vakhaveilanghe aveilangiwa ukhwincha khwilya eikhyakhulya ekhitelekhiwe eikhyavutenghulani pu avanu voni vakhabela.
He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4 Unkuludeva pwakhasuha khange avavombi avange, akhavavula. Akhata “Mukhavavule voni aveilwangwa, mulole, pumeitesaminche ifinufya vutolani. Isenga nchangho ni finge ifinu ifinonile, fiheinjiwe pu fyoni neimalile ukhufitesania pu mwinchanghe khuvutengulani tuhovokhe paninie.”
Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 Pu leino aveilangwa avo savaleikhuyi sangeila einyielango pu valeikhwiluteila nu yunge ukhwa sanghie, umo aluteile khukhyalo khwileima uyunge akhuluta khukhedengha.
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
6 Avange avuvasinghile puvakhavasambukhila avavombi avasuhiwe vakhavabuda. Pu leino unkuludeva ula akalile fincho.
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 Pu akhasuha eikhipungha khya mwene, eikhya valwa linghoha ukhuluta khukhuvabuda vala voni avabudi vavavombi va mwene nukhuyanja uvunjenge vwavo nu mwoto.
The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
8 Puleino akhavavula avavombi vamwene akhata, “Uluhekhelo lwakhulya ifyavute, ngulani lufikhe aveilangwa savanonghile.
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
9 Pu leino mulutanghe na munjeila malekhano eincha misevo voni uvuya khiva mukhuvavona muveilangenghe vinchange khuhekhela uvutengulani.”
Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10 Avombi vala puvakhaluta pa njeila eimbaha vakhaveilanghe voni avavikhuvavona avangholofu na vavivi. Uluhekhe khela lwa vutenghulani pulukhadengha avanu vuvingi avanghenji.
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 Pu leino avile eingile unkuludeva ula khwilola avanghenji, vamwene pwakha vuna munyumba ya vulenghulani eiyaluhekhelo mwale umo uveisafwalile eimienda einghya luhekhelo lwa vutenghulani!
But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 Pu Unkuludeva akhambuncha akhata, 'Imanyani, vangho vwingile ndakheikhi umu nuve nsufwalile eimienda nghya vutenghulani?' Pu umunu uywa sanchove khinu akhava eikelile ukhuva pala pavutenghulani.
‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13 Pu unkuludeva akhavavula avavombi vamwene akhata, '“Munkunge umunu uyu amavokho nanghamalunde pu mutanghe khunji khuhisi pu ukhwa khukhwiva nulukuto nulunghaduncho lwa mino.
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 Ulwakhuva aveilangiwa veingi avahalwa vadebe.”
For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Pu ava Falisai vakhahengha vakhuluta nukhisavania umuyakhiva vikhumwibateila u Yeisu mumanyu ngha mwene.
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16 Pu ava Falisai vakhasuha avakongi vavo navanya Heloti. Pukhanchita khwa Yeisu, “Manyisi, tulumanyile ukhuta uve ulei munu vayeilwei, nukhuta vumanyesya uvunonghwe vwa Nguluve vumanyeisya mumbwayeilweli. Hange savudwada uvuvaha vwa munu uvei avenchangha pakhuva savwilola khumiho umunu umwa velile.
They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
17 Pu leinou Yeisu utuvule vwa vona ndhakeikhi? Panonghile, unkusanguncha nukhusongha eisongho khwa kesali pamo mwikho?”
So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 Pu leino u Yeisu avumanyile uvvivi vwavo pu akhata, “Kheikhi munkhungela mweivangalukhi umwe?
But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
19 Mume eindalama ya songo neilole puvakhapa eidinali.
Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
20 U Yeisu akhavavuncha, “Khiwani khyani eikhi?”
“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21 Pu vakhamula vakhata, “Khihwani Khya Kesali.”Pu humbe muhombenge khwa kesali ifyavukesali vwa mwene nei fya Nguluve mupe UNguluve.”
“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 Vavile vapolikhe ewo vadenghile fincho puvakhandekha vakhanja ukhuluta.
And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
23 Pu eikhinghono eikhyo vakhinchaava Sadukai khwa Yeisu, avanu avavita vusikhuli uvunchikha, pu avavakhambuncha,
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
24 Vakhata, “Manyisi, u Mose atile, umunu angafwe khita hola mwana ulukololwe ahalanghe udala ufwile pu angh'olele ulukololwe umwana.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 Pu khulyufwe kwale navana munu lekhela khumo. utanchi atolile udala pwakhafwa khitahola umwana. Pu akhandekhela ulukololwe udala.
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
26 Pu yeikhava vuvuvwa nayulukololwe uva veilei vope na yuvadatu, pu voni saba yeikha vulevule savahole mwana.
The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
27 Pu leino udala vope nghukhafikha useikhi nghwa khufwa akhafwa.
And last of all, the woman died.
28 Pu leino khuvandukha valava vanchukhile voni pwa lava idala vani? Pakhuva voni lekhela khumo vale nave.”
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29 Pu u Yeisu akhavamula akhata mwiyangha, “Mwiyangha pakhuva sambumanyile uvusimbe na nghamakha ngha Nguluve.
Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 Pu u Yeisu akhavavula akhata, khuvunchukha khusikhuli ukhutila khuve khuvu kha pu leino viva ndavasuhwa va Nguluve khukyanya.
In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 Hange pakhulongu ya vunhukha, samwembile eilimenyu eilinchoviwe nu Nguluve eiliita, Une neilei
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
32 Nguluve va Abrahamu, neilei Nguluve va Isikakha, neileiNguluve va Yakobo? U Nguluve sa Nguluve vavafwile pu Nguluve vavumi.”
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Pu ululundamano vavile vapulikhe ewo vadenghile fincho.
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34 Pu ava Farisai vavile vapulekhe ukhuta ava Sadukai, vavemilwe puvakhalundamana ava Farisai, vakhinchofanja.
And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
35 Pu umo, mwene umanyi va ndanghilo pu akhavunja elimenyu pakhunghela.
One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
36 “Pu akhata imanyisi, lyululanghilo luleikhu uluvaha ukhuluteila khunchinge mundangheilo?”
“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37 U Yeisu pwakhamula akhata, “Ungananghe u Nguluve vakho nei numbula yakho yoni, na nghutima nghwakho nghyoni, na masagho ngha luhala lwakho lwoni.
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 Ulu lyululanghilo uluvaha hange lulei mbulongolo.
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 Ulwa veilei luhwanine nulwa lyope lyu ulu - Unghananghe unino nduvu vwi nghanile yuve.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 Eindanghilo nchoni eincha va nyamalangho muncheilotikhe mundangeilo eveilei inchi.”
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41 Pu ava Farisai vavalundamine pupaninie, U Yeisu akhavavuncha eilimenyu. Akhata,
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
42 “Pu!, musongha ndakheikhi ukhukongana nu keileisite? U mwene nswambe vani?” Pu avene vakhamula vakhata, “Nswambe va Daveite.”
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43 Pu ndakheikhi, “U Daveite einchovela mwamepo ukhuta, 'U Nkuludeva ambulile u Nkuludeva vango,'
Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44 Akhata tama khukhivokho khyango eikhya khundyo, punikhuvaveikhangha avatavangwa vakho pasi pa malunde nghakho.'”?”
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
45 Pu leino eingave u Daveite inchova ita veinkuludeva va mwene, “Pu ivenchangha nswambe va mwene?”
So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
46 Pu sa nghele umunu nayumo ukhwamula limenyu, hange ukhuhumangha eikhinghono khila sanghele munu ukhuvuncha limenyu.
No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
