Mattheum 22
1 et respondens Iesus dixit iterum in parabolis eis dicens
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 simile factum est regnum caelorum homini regi qui fecit nuptias filio suo
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias et nolebant venire
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 iterum misit alios servos dicens dicite invitatis ecce prandium meum paravi tauri mei et altilia occisa et omnia parata venite ad nuptias
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.
5 illi autem neglexerunt et abierunt alius in villam suam alius vero ad negotiationem suam
But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 reliqui vero tenuerunt servos eius et contumelia adfectos occiderunt
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew [them].
7 rex autem cum audisset iratus est et missis exercitibus suis perdidit homicidas illos et civitatem illorum succendit
But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 tunc ait servis suis nuptiae quidem paratae sunt sed qui invitati erant non fuerunt digni
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 ite ergo ad exitus viarum et quoscumque inveneritis vocate ad nuptias
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 et egressi servi eius in vias congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt malos et bonos et impletae sunt nuptiae discumbentium
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 et ait illi amice quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem at ille obmutuit
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 tunc dixit rex ministris ligatis pedibus eius et manibus mittite eum in tenebras exteriores ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 multi autem sunt vocati pauci vero electi
For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
15 tunc abeuntes Pharisaei consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
16 et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis dicentes magister scimus quia verax es et viam Dei in veritate doces et non est tibi cura de aliquo non enim respicis personam hominum
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 dic ergo nobis quid tibi videatur licet censum dare Caesari an non
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 cognita autem Iesus nequitia eorum ait quid me temptatis hypocritae
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
19 ostendite mihi nomisma census at illi obtulerunt ei denarium
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 et ait illis Iesus cuius est imago haec et suprascriptio
And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
21 dicunt ei Caesaris tunc ait illis reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo
They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 et audientes mirati sunt et relicto eo abierunt
When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 in illo die accesserunt ad eum Sadducaei qui dicunt non esse resurrectionem et interrogaverunt eum
The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 dicentes magister Moses dixit si quis mortuus fuerit non habens filium ut ducat frater eius uxorem illius et suscitet semen fratri suo
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 erant autem apud nos septem fratres et primus uxore ducta defunctus est et non habens semen reliquit uxorem suam fratri suo
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 similiter secundus et tertius usque ad septimum
Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 novissime autem omnium et mulier defuncta est
And last of all the woman died also.
28 in resurrectione ergo cuius erit de septem uxor omnes enim habuerunt eam
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 respondens autem Iesus ait illis erratis nescientes scripturas neque virtutem Dei
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 in resurrectione enim neque nubent neque nubentur sed sunt sicut angeli Dei in caelo
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 de resurrectione autem mortuorum non legistis quod dictum est a Deo dicente vobis
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 ego sum Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob non est Deus mortuorum sed viventium
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 et audientes turbae mirabantur in doctrina eius
And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 Pharisaei autem audientes quod silentium inposuisset Sadducaeis convenerunt in unum
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 et interrogavit eum unus ex eis legis doctor temptans eum
Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
36 magister quod est mandatum magnum in lege
Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
37 ait illi Iesus diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua et in tota mente tua
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 hoc est maximum et primum mandatum
This is the first and great commandment.
39 secundum autem simile est huic diliges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum
And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 in his duobus mandatis universa lex pendet et prophetae
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 congregatis autem Pharisaeis interrogavit eos Iesus
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 dicens quid vobis videtur de Christo cuius filius est dicunt ei David
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
43 ait illis quomodo ergo David in spiritu vocat eum Dominum dicens
He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 si ergo David vocat eum Dominum quomodo filius eius est
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 et nemo poterat respondere ei verbum neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illa die eum amplius interrogare
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions.]
