Matthai 22
1 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih nuettahnah neh koep a thui pah.
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
2 “Vaan ram tah a manghai pa neh vai uh. Te loh a capa ham yulueinah a saii pah.
The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
3 Te vaengah yulueinah la a khue rhoek te khue hamla a sal rhoek te a tueih dae lo ham ngaih uh pawh.
And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Sal a tloe rhoek te koep a tueih tih, 'A khue rhoek te thui pa uh, kai kah buhkoknah ka tawn coeng he, ka vaito neh a toitup khaw a ngawn coengw, a cungkuem he a sikim coeng dongah yulueinah ah halo uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.
5 Tedae amih loh a sawtrhoel uh tih a ngen tah amah kah lo la, a tloe te a hnoyoihnah la cet uh.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 Te phoeiah a tloe rhoek loh manghai kah sal rhoek te a tuuk uh, a neet uh tih a ngawn uh.
And the remnant took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 Te dongah manghai tah kosi a hong tih a rhalkap rhoek te a tueih. Te vaengah hlang aka ngawn rhoek te a poci sak tih a khopuei te a hlup pah.
But when the king heard of it, he was angry: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Te phoeiah a sal rhoek taengah, 'Yulueinah tah sikim la om coeng dae a khue rhoek te a koihhilh la a om uh moenih.
Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
9 Te dongah longpuei caehtung ah cet uh lamtah na hmuh uh sarhui te yulueinah ah khue uh,’ a ti nah.
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
10 Te phoeiah sal rhoek tah longpuei ah cet uh tih a hmuh uh sarhui te a thae neh a then khaw a coi uh. Te dongah yulueinah tah aka bul rhoek neh bae uh.
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 Te vaengah manghai te kun tih aka bul rhoek te a sawt hatah, yulueinah himbai aka bai pawh hlang pakhat te kawl a hmuh.
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding garment:
12 Te dongah anih te, “Pueivan aw, metlae yulueinah himbai om kolla hela na kun?” a ti nah. Tedae te long te hil a phah.
And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Te dongah manghai loh a tueihyoeih rhoek taengah, “Anih he a kut neh a kho pin uh lamtah poengben kah a yinnah khuila haek uh. Rhah neh no rhuengnah la om saeh,’ a ti nah.
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 Te dongah, “A khue rhoek tah muep om dae a coelh rhoek tah yool,” a ti nah.
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek tah koe uh Jesuh te a ol neh hlaeh ham dawtletnah a khueh uh.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek te Herod kah hlang neh Jesuh taengla a tueih uh. Te vaengah, “Saya, a thuem la na om tih Pathen kah longpuei te oltak neh na thuituen te ka ming uh. U taengah khaw na tangyah pawt tih hlang maelhmai te na sawt moenih.
And they sent out to 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 Te dongah Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham tueng neh a tueng pawt khaw nang loh me tlam lae na poek, kaimih taengah thui lah?” a ti na uh.
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Tedae Jesuh loh amih kah halangnah te a ming tih, “Hlangthai palat rhoek balae tih kai nan noemcai uh?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mangmu ham tangka te kai n'tueng uh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah a taengla denarii pakhat a khuen uh.
Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny.
20 Te vaengah amih te, “U kah mueimae neh ming nim he?” a ti nah.
And he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 Amah taengah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh. Te vaengah amih te, “Te dongah Kaisar kah tah Kaisar taengah, Pathen kah te Pathen taengah mael uh,” a ti nah.
They say to him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.
22 A yaak uh vaengah let uh. Te dongah Jesuh te a toeng uh tih cet uh.
When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and departed.
23 Te khohnin ah thohkoepnah om mahpawh aka ti Sadducee rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh.
The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Te phoeiah Jesuh te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, Moses loh, 'Khat khat tah ca a om kolla a duek atah anih yuu te a mana loh yunah saeh lamtah a maya ham a tiingan thoh pah saeh,'a ti.
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Tedae kaimih taengah boeinaphung parhih om uh. Lamhma loh yuu a loh hata vik duek tih ca om kolla a yuu te a mana ham a hlah pah.
Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, died, and, having no issue, left his wife to his brother:
26 A pabae neh a pathum neh parhih duela khaw amahboeiloeih la om.
Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 A tloihsoi ah huta te khaw boeih duek uh.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 Anih te boeih a hutnah uh oeh coeng dongah thohkoepnah dongah tah parhih khuikah u yuu lamlae a om eh?” a ti na uh.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Cacim neh Pathen kah thaomnah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh coeng.
Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Thohkoepnah dongah yuloh vasak neh rhaihlan ti a om moenih. Tedae vaan ah tah puencawn bangla om uh coeng.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Tedae aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah te nangmih ham Pathen loh a thui te na tae uh moenih a?
But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 'Kai tah Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak kah Pathen, Jakob kah Pathen ni. Aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni,’ a ti ta,” a ti nah.
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 Te vaengkah aka ya hlangping tah Jesuh kah thuituennah soah let uh.
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 Tedae Sadducee rhoek a paa sak te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah thikat la tingtun uh.
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together about him.
35 Te phoeiah amih khuikah olming pakhat loh,
Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 “Saya, olkhueng khuiah mebang olpaek lae aka len?” tila a dawt tih a noemcai.
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Boeipa na Pathen te na thinko boeih neh na hinglu boeih neh, na kopoek boeih neh lungnah.
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 He tah aka len neh aka lamhma olpaek ni.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 A pabae khaw lamhma kah phek la om tih, “Na imben te namah bangla lungnah.
And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 He kah olpaek panit dongah olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek tah boeih cui,” a ti nah.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 Pharisee rhoek te a tingtun uh vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a dawt tih,
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 “Khrih kawng te metlam na poek uh? U ca lamlae a om?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “David kah capa,” a ti uh.
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.
43 Te dongah amih te, “Te koinih David loh Khrih te Mueihla ah Boeipa la a khue tih,
He saith to them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 Boeipa loh ka Boeipa te, 'Na rhal rhoek te ka kho hmuiah ka khueh hlan duela kai kah bantang ah ngol,’ a ti nah te metlam a thui?
The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
45 Te dongah David loh anih te boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae David kah capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Te vaengah a ol lan uh thai pawh. Te khohnin lamkah tah anih dawt ham te khat long khaw ngaingaih voel pawh.
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
