< Matthew 22 >

1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
UYeisu pu akhamula hange akhanchova nufihwani hata, “
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
Uludeva lwa khukyanya luhwanine ndunkuludeva uviatelikhe ifinu vutenghulani vwa munu viatolangha udala.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
Pu akhavasuha avavombi vamwene vakhaveilanghe aveilangiwa ukhwincha khwilya eikhyakhulya ekhitelekhiwe eikhyavutenghulani pu avanu voni vakhabela.
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
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.”
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
Pu leino aveilangwa avo savaleikhuyi sangeila einyielango pu valeikhwiluteila nu yunge ukhwa sanghie, umo aluteile khukhyalo khwileima uyunge akhuluta khukhedengha.
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
Avange avuvasinghile puvakhavasambukhila avavombi avasuhiwe vakhavabuda. Pu leino unkuludeva ula akalile fincho.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Pu akhasuha eikhipungha khya mwene, eikhya valwa linghoha ukhuluta khukhuvabuda vala voni avabudi vavavombi va mwene nukhuyanja uvunjenge vwavo nu mwoto.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
Puleino akhavavula avavombi vamwene akhata, “Uluhekhelo lwakhulya ifyavute, ngulani lufikhe aveilangwa savanonghile.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
Pu leino mulutanghe na munjeila malekhano eincha misevo voni uvuya khiva mukhuvavona muveilangenghe vinchange khuhekhela uvutengulani.”
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
Avombi vala puvakhaluta pa njeila eimbaha vakhaveilanghe voni avavikhuvavona avangholofu na vavivi. Uluhekhe khela lwa vutenghulani pulukhadengha avanu vuvingi avanghenji.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
Pu leino avile eingile unkuludeva ula khwilola avanghenji, vamwene pwakha vuna munyumba ya vulenghulani eiyaluhekhelo mwale umo uveisafwalile eimienda einghya luhekhelo lwa vutenghulani!
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
Pu Unkuludeva akhambuncha akhata, 'Imanyani, vangho vwingile ndakheikhi umu nuve nsufwalile eimienda nghya vutenghulani?' Pu umunu uywa sanchove khinu akhava eikelile ukhuva pala pavutenghulani.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
Pu unkuludeva akhavavula avavombi vamwene akhata, '“Munkunge umunu uyu amavokho nanghamalunde pu mutanghe khunji khuhisi pu ukhwa khukhwiva nulukuto nulunghaduncho lwa mino.
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
Ulwakhuva aveilangiwa veingi avahalwa vadebe.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
Pu ava Falisai vakhahengha vakhuluta nukhisavania umuyakhiva vikhumwibateila u Yeisu mumanyu ngha mwene.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
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.
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Pu leinou Yeisu utuvule vwa vona ndhakeikhi? Panonghile, unkusanguncha nukhusongha eisongho khwa kesali pamo mwikho?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
Pu leino u Yeisu avumanyile uvvivi vwavo pu akhata, “Kheikhi munkhungela mweivangalukhi umwe?
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
Mume eindalama ya songo neilole puvakhapa eidinali.
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
U Yeisu akhavavuncha, “Khiwani khyani eikhi?”
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Pu vakhamula vakhata, “Khihwani Khya Kesali.”Pu humbe muhombenge khwa kesali ifyavukesali vwa mwene nei fya Nguluve mupe UNguluve.”
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
Vavile vapolikhe ewo vadenghile fincho puvakhandekha vakhanja ukhuluta.
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
Pu eikhinghono eikhyo vakhinchaava Sadukai khwa Yeisu, avanu avavita vusikhuli uvunchikha, pu avavakhambuncha,
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
Vakhata, “Manyisi, u Mose atile, umunu angafwe khita hola mwana ulukololwe ahalanghe udala ufwile pu angh'olele ulukololwe umwana.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
Pu khulyufwe kwale navana munu lekhela khumo. utanchi atolile udala pwakhafwa khitahola umwana. Pu akhandekhela ulukololwe udala.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Pu yeikhava vuvuvwa nayulukololwe uva veilei vope na yuvadatu, pu voni saba yeikha vulevule savahole mwana.
27 After them all, the woman died.
Pu leino udala vope nghukhafikha useikhi nghwa khufwa akhafwa.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
Pu leino khuvandukha valava vanchukhile voni pwa lava idala vani? Pakhuva voni lekhela khumo vale nave.”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Pu u Yeisu akhavamula akhata mwiyangha, “Mwiyangha pakhuva sambumanyile uvusimbe na nghamakha ngha Nguluve.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
Pu u Yeisu akhavavula akhata, khuvunchukha khusikhuli ukhutila khuve khuvu kha pu leino viva ndavasuhwa va Nguluve khukyanya.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Hange pakhulongu ya vunhukha, samwembile eilimenyu eilinchoviwe nu Nguluve eiliita, Une neilei
32 ‘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.”
Nguluve va Abrahamu, neilei Nguluve va Isikakha, neileiNguluve va Yakobo? U Nguluve sa Nguluve vavafwile pu Nguluve vavumi.”
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Pu ululundamano vavile vapulikhe ewo vadenghile fincho.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
Pu ava Farisai vavile vapulekhe ukhuta ava Sadukai, vavemilwe puvakhalundamana ava Farisai, vakhinchofanja.
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
Pu umo, mwene umanyi va ndanghilo pu akhavunja elimenyu pakhunghela.
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
“Pu akhata imanyisi, lyululanghilo luleikhu uluvaha ukhuluteila khunchinge mundangheilo?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
U Yeisu pwakhamula akhata, “Ungananghe u Nguluve vakho nei numbula yakho yoni, na nghutima nghwakho nghyoni, na masagho ngha luhala lwakho lwoni.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Ulu lyululanghilo uluvaha hange lulei mbulongolo.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Ulwa veilei luhwanine nulwa lyope lyu ulu - Unghananghe unino nduvu vwi nghanile yuve.
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Eindanghilo nchoni eincha va nyamalangho muncheilotikhe mundangeilo eveilei inchi.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
Pu ava Farisai vavalundamine pupaninie, U Yeisu akhavavuncha eilimenyu. Akhata,
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
“Pu!, musongha ndakheikhi ukhukongana nu keileisite? U mwene nswambe vani?” Pu avene vakhamula vakhata, “Nswambe va Daveite.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
Pu ndakheikhi, “U Daveite einchovela mwamepo ukhuta, 'U Nkuludeva ambulile u Nkuludeva vango,'
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
Akhata tama khukhivokho khyango eikhya khundyo, punikhuvaveikhangha avatavangwa vakho pasi pa malunde nghakho.'”?”
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
Pu leino eingave u Daveite inchova ita veinkuludeva va mwene, “Pu ivenchangha nswambe va mwene?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
Pu sa nghele umunu nayumo ukhwamula limenyu, hange ukhuhumangha eikhinghono khila sanghele munu ukhuvuncha limenyu.
