Mātiu 22
1 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo toe pehēange kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā;
Jesus continuing to discourse to them in parables, said,
2 “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tuʻi ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻi he taʻane ʻa hono foha,
The Administration of Heaven resembles the conduct of a king, who having 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.
sent his servants to call them, who had been invited; but 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.”’
Then he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited I have prepared my feast; my bullocks and fatlings are slain, and all is ready; come to the marriage.
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 turned away with indifference, one to his farm, another to his merchandize.
6 Pea puke ʻo ngaohikoviʻi mo tāmateʻi, ʻe he niʻihi, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
And the rest seizing his servants, abused and killed 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,
When the king heard this, being enraged, he sent his soldiers, destroyed those murderers, and burnt 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 entertainment is ready; but they 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 public roads, and all that you can find, invited to the marriage.
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.
Accordingly they went into the highways, and assembled all that they found, good and bad, so that the hall was 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.
When the king came in to see the guests, observing one who had not on a 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.
he said to him, Friend, how came you here without a wedding garment? 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 the king said to the attendants, Bind him hand and foot, and thrust him out into darkness, where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth;
14 “He ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
for there are many called, but few chosen.
15 Pea toki ʻalu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau femioekina ia ʻi he alea.
Then the Pharisees retired, and having consulted how they might entrap him in his words,
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.
sent to him some of their disciples, and some Herodians, who being instructed by them, said, Rabbi, we know that you are sincere, and faithfully teach the way of God, without partiality, for you respect 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, your opinion: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, 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?
Jesus, perceiving their malice, said, Dissemblers, why would you entangle me?
19 Fakahā mai ʻae paʻanga tukuhau.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tenali.
Show me the tribute money. And they reached him a denarius.
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mata eni mo e tohi ʻa hai?”
He asked them, Whose image and inscription is this?
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 answered, Cesar's. He replied, Render, then, to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to God that which is God's.
22 Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
And admiring his answer, they left him, and 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,
The same day Sadducees, who say that there is no future life, came to him and addressed 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.
Rabbi, Moses has said, if one die, and have no children, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise issue to the deceased.
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 lived among us seven brothers; the eldest married and died without issue, leaving his wife to his brother.
26 Pea pehē pe foki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, ʻo hoko ki hono toko fitu.
Thus also the second, and the third, and so to the seventh.
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.”
Now, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven; for they all married 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 answering, said to them, You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor 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 in that state, they neither marry, nor give in marriage: they resemble the angels of God.
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 as to the revival of the dead, have you not read what God declared to you, 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 a God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki.
Now, the people who heard this, were struck with awe at his doctrine.
34 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi kuo ne fakalongo ʻae kau Sātusi, naʻe fakataha leva ʻakinautolu.
Meantime, the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, flocked about him.
35 Pea fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia ʻe honau tokotaha, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,
Then, one of them, a lawyer, trying him, proposed this question,
36 “ʻEiki, ko e fekau fē ʻi he fono ʻoku lahi?”
Rabbi, which is the greatest 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.’
Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
38 Ko e ʻuluaki pea ko e lahi ia ʻoe fekau.
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia, Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’
The second is like it, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
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,
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked 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 do you think of the Messiah? Who son should he be? They answered, 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 replied, How then does David, speaking by inspiration, call him his Lord?
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," says he, "said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your foes your footstool."
45 Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfeeʻi ia?”
If the Messiah were David's son, would David call him his Lord?
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.
To this none of them could answer; and from that day no person presumed to interrogate him.
