Mātiu 22
1 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo toe pehēange kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā;
AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying,
2 “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tuʻi ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻi he taʻane ʻa hono foha,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:
3 ʻO ne fekau atu ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ui ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai ʻae taʻane: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie haʻu.
and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.
4 Pea toe fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala [ki ai], “Vakai, kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae kai: kuo tāmateʻi ʻeku fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, pea kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: haʻu ki he taʻane.”’
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.
5 Ka naʻa nau fakavaʻivaʻinga [ʻaki ia], ʻo [taki taha ]ʻalu, ko e taha ki heʻene ngoue, ko e taha ki heʻene meʻa fakatau:
But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick:
6 Pea puke ʻo ngaohikoviʻi mo tāmateʻi, ʻe he niʻihi, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them.
7 Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea houhau: ʻo ne fekau atu ʻene ngaahi kongakau, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau fakapō ko ia, pea tutu ʻenau kolo,
Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.
8 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻae kātoanga taʻane, ka ko kinautolu kuo tala ki ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga.
Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:
9 Ko ia mou ʻalu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea ko kinautolu te mou ʻilo, fakahā ki ai ʻae taʻane.’
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.
10 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia ki he ngaahi hala [motuʻa], ʻo fakakātoa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo, ʻae kovi mo e lelei: pea tokolahi ai ʻae kakai ʻi he taʻane.
So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.
11 “Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata ki he kakai, naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ʻae tangata kuo ʻikai ʻi ai ha kofu taʻane.
Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment:
12 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Kāinga, naʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻo hū mai ki heni ʻoku ʻikai hao kofu taʻane?’ Pea fakalongo pē ia.
and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.
13 Pea toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Haʻi hono vaʻe mo e nima pea ʻave, ʻo lī ia ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 “He ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
For many are called, but few elect.
15 Pea toki ʻalu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau femioekina ia ʻi he alea.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.
16 Pea nau fekau kiate ia ʻenau kau ākonga mo e kau Helotiane, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ke ako moʻoni ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata.
And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:
17 Ko ia ke ke tala mai kiate kimautolu, Ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku ngofua ke ʻoatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau angakovi, pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kau mālualoi, ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?
But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Fakahā mai ʻae paʻanga tukuhau.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tenali.
Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mata eni mo e tohi ʻa hai?”
And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?
21 Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.” Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoange kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa; pea ʻoange ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s; and to God, the things which are God’s.
22 Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
23 Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau Sātusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu, ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,
24 ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe fakamaʻu hono tokoua mo hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
saying, Master, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.”
25 Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu; ko e ʻuluaki naʻe fakamaʻu mo e uaifi, pea mate ia, kuo ʻikai haʻane fānau, pea tuku hono uaifi ki hono tokoua.
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;
26 Pea pehē pe foki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, ʻo hoko ki hono toko fitu.
likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven.
27 Pea mate fakamui ʻae fefine.
Last of all the woman died also.
28 Pea ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo hai ʻi he toko fitu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē.”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou hē, ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki he ngaahi tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua.
Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.
30 Koeʻuhi ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali, ka ʻe tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he langi.
For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Ka koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻoe mate, ʻoku teʻeki te mou lau ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying,
32 ‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’ ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mate ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e moʻui.”
“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 Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki.
And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine.
34 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi kuo ne fakalongo ʻae kau Sātusi, naʻe fakataha leva ʻakinautolu.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees’ mouths, they assembled together:
35 Pea fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia ʻe honau tokotaha, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,
and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,
36 “ʻEiki, ko e fekau fē ʻi he fono ʻoku lahi?”
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho laumālie kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho loto kotoa.’
Then Jesus said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
38 Ko e ʻuluaki pea ko e lahi ia ʻoe fekau.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia, Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’
And the second is like to it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
40 Ko e fekau ni ʻe ua ʻoku tautau ai ʻae fono kotoa mo e kau palōfita.”
On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Pea ʻi he kei fakataha ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu,
The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them,
42 ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā homou loto ki he Kalaisi? Ko e foha ia ʻo hai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻO Tevita.”
saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David’s.
43 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ai hono ui ia ʻe Tevita ʻi he Laumālie, ‘ʻEiki,’ ʻi heʻene pehē,
He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,
44 ‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe”’?
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet.”
45 Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfeeʻi ia?”
If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha lea ʻe faʻa lea ʻaki ʻe ha tangata kiate ia; talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fehuʻi ʻe ha taha kiate ia.
And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.
