Matthew 22
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
Jesus el sifilpa orekmakin kas in pupulyuk ke el kaskas nu sin mwet uh.
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
El fahk, “Tokosrai lun God ouinge: Oasr sie tokosra su akoo sie kufwen marut nu sin wen se natul.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
El supwalik mwet kulansap lal in som solama mwet ma solsol tari nu ke kufwen marut uh elos in tuku, tuh elos tia lungse tuku.
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!”’
Na el sifilpa supwala kutu pac mwet kulansap in fahk nu selos su solsol: ‘Kufwa luk uh akola tari, cow mukul wowo nutik ac cow fusr ma akfatyeyuk anwuki tari, ac ma nukewa akola. Fahsru nu ke kufwen marut uh!’
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
Tusruktu mwet ma solsol uh pilesru na ac oru na lungse lalos uh: sie som nu ke ima lal, sie som nu ke nien kuka lal,
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
ac kutu elos sruokya mwet kulansap inge, srunglulos ac onelosi.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Tokosra sac arulana kasrkusrakak, ac supwala mwet mweun lal ac uniya mwet akmas ingo ac esukak siti selos uh.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
Na el pangonma mwet kulansap lal ac fahk nu selos, ‘Kufwen marut luk akola, tusruk mwet ma nga tuh suli ah elos tia fal in wi.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
Ke ma inge kowos som nu inkanek uh ac pangonma mwet nukewa kowos ac liyauk we nu ke kufwa uh.’
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.
Ouinge mwet kulansap elos som nu inkanek uh ac eisani nufon mwet elos liyauk we, mwet wo ac mwet koluk oana sie; ac iwen marut uh arulana tingtingi ke mwet.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
“Na tokosra sac el som in liye mwet su tuku, ac konauk lah sie mwet uh tia nukum nuknuk fal nu ke marut.
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
Ac tokosra sac fahk nu sel, ‘Mwet kawuk, kom utyak fuka nu in acn se inge ke kom tia nukum nuknuk fal nu ke marut?’ Tuh wanginna ma mwet sac fahk.
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.’
Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap uh, ‘Kapriya nial ac paol, ac sisella nu in acn lohsr likinum uh. El ac fah tung ac ngalis inwihsel we.’”
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
Na Jesus el aksafyela pupulyuk se inge ac fahk, “Mwet pus na pangonyuk, a mwet na pu suleyukla.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
Mwet Pharisee elos som ac tukeni pwapa in sruokilya Jesus ke kutu mwe siyuk kutasrik.
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.
Na elos supwala kutu sin mwet lutlut lalos ac oayapa kutu sin mwet in u lal Herod nu yurin Jesus. Elos som ac fahk, “Mwet Luti, kut etu lah kom fahk ma pwaye. Kom luti kas pwaye ke ma lungse lun God, ac tia suk lah acnu fuka nunak lun mwet uh kac, mweyen kom tia wiwimwet.
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Fahk nu sesr lah mea nunak lom? Ya ac lain Ma Sap lasr uh mwet uh in moli tax nu sin Caesar, tokosra in acn Rome, ku tia?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
Tusruktu Jesus el akilen pwapa koluk lalos, ac el fahk nu selos, “Kowos mwet wosounkas! Efu kowos ku srike in srifeyu?
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
Ase nu sik sie ipin mani ma sang akfalye tax an!” Na elos use sie ac sang nu sel,
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
ac el siyuk selos, “Inen su, ac petsa lun su oan kac inge?”
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.”
Ac elos fahk, “Ma lun Caesar.” Na Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Fin ouingan, kowos sang nu sel Caesar ma lun Caesar, ac sang nu sin God ma lun God.”
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos fwefela kac, ac som lukel.
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
In len sacna kutu mwet Sadducee tuku nu yurin Jesus. (U se inge lulalfongi mu wangin sifil moulyak tokin misa.)
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.’
Elos fahk, “Mwet Luti, Moses el tuh fahk mu mwet se fin misa ac wangin tulik natul, mukul se wien mas sac uh enenu in payukyak sin katinmas sac, in mau oasr tulik natultal su ac fah pangpang ma nutin mas sac uh.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
Tuh oasr tamulel itkosr su muta in acn se inge meet. Mukul se ma matu oemeet uh tuh payuk nwe misa a wangin tulik natul, ouinge mukul se tokol el payukyak sin katinmas sac.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Ouiya se inge sikyak pac nu sin mukul se akluo, ac mukul se aktolu, nwe sun pac wen se akitkosr.
27 After them all, the woman died.
Na tok katinmas sac misa.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
Fin sun len in moulyak lun mwet misa uh, ac mau kien su katinmas sac, mweyen eltal nufon tuh payuk nu sel?”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Na Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos arulana tafongla! Mweyen kowos tia etu ke Ma Simusla, ku ke ku lun God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
Tuh ke mwet misa elos ac moulyak, elos ac mau oana lipufan inkusrao, ac elos ac tia payuk.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Ac funu ke moulyak lun mwet misa uh, ya kowos soenna rit ke ma God El fahk nu suwos uh? El fahk mu,
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.”
‘Nga God lal Abraham, God lal Isaac, ac God lal Jacob.’ El God lun mwet moul, ac tia lun mwet misa.”
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Ke u lulap sac lohng ma inge, elos arulana fwefela ke luti lal.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng lah Jesus el kaliya oalin mwet Sadducee, elos fahsreni ac tukeni som nu yurin Jesus.
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
Ac sie selos, su pisrla ke Ma Sap, el srike in srife Jesus ke sie mwe siyuk.
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
El fahk, “Mwet Luti, pia ma sap se ma yohk oemeet ke Ma Sap uh?”
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.’
Ac Jesus el fahk nu sel, “‘Kom fah lungse Leum God lom ke insiom kewa, ke ngunum kewa, ac ke nunkom kewa.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Pa inge ma sap se ma yohk oemeet ac yohk sripa oemeet.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Ma sap se akluo yohk sripa oapana ma se meet an: ‘Kom fah lungse mwet tulan lom oana kom lungse kom sifacna.’
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Ma sap nukewa lal Moses ac mwe luti nukewa lun mwet palu oan ye ma sap luo inge.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
Ke mwet Pharisee elos srakna tukeni muta, Jesus el siyuk selos,
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
“Mea kowos nunku ke Christ? Kowos nunku mu el wen nutin su?” Ac elos fahk, “El wen natul David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
Na Jesus el siyuk selos, “Fin ouingan, efu ku Ngun tuh oru David elan pangnol, ‘Leum’? Oana ke David el tuh fahk,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
‘Leum God El tuh fahk nu sin Leum luk: Muta siskuk layot, Nwe ke nga filiya mwet lokoalok lom ye niom.’
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
Na David el fin pangnol ‘Leum,’ ac fuka tuh Christ elan wen natul David?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
Wangin sie selos ku in topuk Jesus, ac tukun len sac wangin sie mwet pulaik in sifil siyuk kutena mwe siyuk sel.
