Matthew 22
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, and said,
Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ no se fai nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son,
“Lamatualain toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ maneꞌ sa tao fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ fee ana toun.
3 and sent forth his servants to call to the feast those who had been invited; and they would not come.
Leleꞌ ara sadꞌia rala fefetas ma, ana denu ate nara reu rafadꞌe atahori nene neroloꞌ ra oi, ‘Ima, te fefetas sangga nae mulai ena.’ Te atahori naa ra nda nau rema sa.
4 Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
Basa ma, ate ra baliꞌ reu rafadꞌe maneꞌ a. Maneꞌ a rena nala ma ana denu aten laen fai nae, ‘Hei mii mifadꞌe atahori naa ra, fo rema leo, te fefetas nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena. Au tati sapi a ena, ma tunu-nasu ala e maladꞌan seli. Denu se rema raa fefetas leo, huu basaꞌ e nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena.’
5 But they made light of it, and went away; one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
Ate naa ra reu rafadꞌe raꞌo naa. Te atahori nene neroloꞌ ra nda nau taoafiꞌ sa. Ruma osi rala reu, ruma reu sia mamana tao ue-osan nara,
6 And the rest seized his servants, and ill-treated and slew them.
ma ruma toꞌu rala maneꞌ a ate nara, de poko-paru se losa ara mate.
7 And the king was enraged; and sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Rena onaꞌ naa ma, maneꞌ a namanasa nala seli. Basa ma, ana denu soldꞌadꞌu nara reu tati risa atahori mana tati risa ate nara. Basa de, soldꞌadꞌu ra hotu-lalangge hendi nusaꞌ naa losa taa no rae a.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Basa ma, maneꞌ a noꞌe nala ate laen nara de nafadꞌe se nae, “Fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a nenesadꞌiaꞌ ena, te atahori fo au uroloꞌ ra, nda randaa tungga au fefeta ngga sa.
9 Go therefore into the thoroughfares, and as many as ye find, invite to the feast.
Ia na, ama mii sia dala rarameꞌ fo mindaa mo sudꞌiꞌ a se, na moꞌe mendi se.’
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the bride-chamber was fully furnished with guests.
Basa de, ate naa ra lao reu sia dala rarameꞌ ra. Ara randaa ro atahori hetar mia naa, de ro se risiꞌ fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ a. Hambu atahori maloleꞌ ma atahori nda maloleꞌ ra sa rema tao rasofe mamana fefetas a.
11 And the king, coming in to view the guests, saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment;
Basa ma, maneꞌ a nisi mamana fefetas rala neu de mete rereoꞌ fuiꞌ ra. Ma ana nita atahori esa nda pake buꞌa-baꞌu fefetas sa.
12 and he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a wedding garment? And he was struck dumb.
Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, ‘Hee, toronooꞌ! saa de misiꞌ mamanaꞌ ia, na nda pake bua-baꞌu fefetas saa?’ Te atahori naa titindindii onaꞌ nggoaꞌ e.
13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Boe ma maneꞌ a parenda ana mana tungga nara nae, paꞌa atahori ia ei-lima nara, fo toꞌu nggari e dea neu. Hela e nggae ma doidꞌoso sia mamana maꞌahatuꞌ naa.’
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Onaꞌ naa boe, Lamatualain narolo atahori hetar, te tengga nala akaꞌ idꞌaꞌ dadꞌi neu Eni atahorin.’
15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how l they might ensnare him in speech.
Atahori Farisi ra rena rala Yesus olaꞌ naꞌo naa, ma rala haraꞌ fo rae teꞌe-sii ma fua salaꞌ neu E.
16 And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and thou carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men.
Basa ma ara denu ana mana tungga nara reu ro atahori mia Herodes partei politik na, fo reu raselu-bale ro Yesus. Ara koa-boꞌu Yesus rae, “Ama Meser! Hai mihine Amaꞌ ralan ndoos. Amaꞌ nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ ma nda pili-tadꞌa sa. Amaꞌ akaꞌ nanori Lamatualain Hara-liin no matetuꞌ.
17 Tell us, therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
De ia na, hai mae mitane dalaꞌ sa. Tungga hita atoran agama Yahudi na, ata musi bae bea neu mana parenda Roma manen, do afiꞌ?”
18 But Jesus, perceiving their wickedness, said, Why are ye trying me, hypocrites?
Te Yesus nahine ara rae teꞌe-sii E, fo Ana olaꞌ labꞌan mana parenda Roma. Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Memaꞌ hei atahori mana dea-ralaꞌ! Taꞌo bee de hei mae teꞌe-sii Au mendiꞌ soꞌal naa?
19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denary.
Mitudꞌu sobꞌa Au doi fulaꞌ sa fo atahori bae rendiꞌ neu bea!” Boe ma ara ratudꞌu doi fulaꞌ neu E.
20 And Jesus saith to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
Basa ma, Ana natane se nae, “Ia seka mata-aon ia? Ma ia seka naran ia?”
21 They say, Caesar's. Then saith he to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
Ara rataa rae, “Naa keser, mana parenda Roma mane monaen.” Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, “Naa! Mete ma taꞌo naa, hei fee neu mana parenda, saa fo mana parenda hak na. Ma fee neu Lamatualain saa fo Lamatualain hak na.”
22 And hearing this, they wondered, and left him, and went away.
Rena Ana nataa naꞌo naa, ma basa se titindindii, huu Ana olaꞌ naa ndaa na. Naa de ara nda teꞌe-sii rala E sa. Boe ma ara lao hela E.
23 The same day there came to him Sadducees, saying that there is no resurrection; and they asked him,
Sia naa hambu atahori mia partei Saduki boe. Atahori mia partei Saduki ia, nanori nae, atahori mates ra nda rasodꞌa baliꞌ sa. Faiꞌ naa, ara rae sangga dalaꞌ fo teꞌe-sii Yesus. Naeni de ara rema raselu-bale ro E rae,
24 saying, Teacher, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.”
“Ama Meser! Baꞌi Musa suraꞌ hela fee hai, adat ia, nae: mete ma touꞌ esa mate hela saon, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, na, touꞌ naa odꞌin musi sao nala ina falu naa, naa fo ana bonggi fee aꞌan mana mateꞌ a tititi-nonosiꞌ.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married and died; and, having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
Memaꞌ, feꞌesaꞌan baꞌi Musa nanori taꞌo naa, te ia na hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: hambu touꞌ hitu odꞌi-aꞌa bonggiꞌ. Uluꞌ ka sao, te mate, nda ma anaꞌ sa. Boe ma odꞌin mana tungga e, sao nala ina falu naa.
26 And so also the second, and the third, even to the seventh.
Nda dooꞌ sa ma ana mate fai, ma nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa boe odꞌin ka telun, ana sao nala ina falu naa, te basa ma mate fai, te nda ma anaꞌ sa. Onaꞌ naa rakandondooꞌ a losa odꞌin muriꞌ a mate, nda lao hela anaꞌ sa.
27 And last of all the woman died.
Basa ma, ina falu a mate.
28 In the resurrection, then, of which of the seven will she be the wife? For they all had her.
Naa! Hai mae mitane taꞌo ia: Inaꞌ naa sao nala touꞌ hitu ena. Mete ma neu mateteꞌen, Lamatuaꞌ nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra na, inaꞌ ia dadꞌi touꞌ bee ka saon?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Basa ma, Yesus nataa nae, “Mete ma hei mitane taꞌo naa, na, hei sala naeꞌ ena ma! Huu hei nda mihine Lamatualain Susuran liin sa. Ma nda mihine koasa manaselin sa!
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matetun, taꞌo ia. Neꞌo, mete ma Lamatualain nafefela baliꞌ atahori mana mateꞌ ra, ara esa nda sao esa sa ena, onaꞌ ate nara mana sia sorga ra.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Boe ma Au ae olaꞌ soꞌal atahori mana mateꞌ ra rasodꞌa baliꞌ, do hokoꞌ. Sia baꞌi Musa susuran ra nenedꞌuiꞌ oi hau huu anaꞌ nene tunu-hotuꞌ te nda kadꞌe hendi e sa. Mia dudꞌuit naa, hita tahine tae, atahori mana mateꞌ ra bisa rasodꞌa baliꞌ boe. Huu Lamatualain nafadꞌe baꞌi Musa mia naa nae,
32 “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? He is not a God of the dead, but of the living.
‘Au ia, bei-baꞌi mara Lamatualain na. Naeni baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak, ma baꞌi Yakob. Basa se beꞌutee neu Au rakandoo losa ia nema.’ Naa! Hita tahine tae, leleꞌ Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ naꞌo naa, te basa baꞌiꞌ naa ra mate se dooꞌ ena. Huu Lamatualain nae Eni feꞌe dadꞌi nakandoo sira Lamatuan. Naeni de ata tahine tae, ao samana nara rasodꞌa rakandoo, mae ara mate dooꞌ ena. De mae atahori mate o, ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Huu akaꞌ atahori masodꞌaꞌ beꞌutee neu Lamatualain, nda atahori mates ra sa to?!”
33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
Rena Yesus nanori naꞌo naa, ma atahori Saduki ra nda ritaꞌ rae bale saa sa ena boe. Te atahori hetar naa ra titindindii de olaꞌ rae, “Awii! Atahori ia nenorin manaseliꞌ tebꞌe, o!”
34 And the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, assembled together;
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra rena rae, Yesus nasenggiꞌ atahori Saduki ra, ma ara raꞌabꞌue reu esa de rae ratane rasafafali E.
35 and one of them, a lawyer, asked, trying him,
Sira mana mahine agaman esa nae teꞌe-sii sobꞌa Yesus nae,
36 Teacher, which commandment is great in the Law?
“Ama Meser! Au ae utane taꞌo ia: hita adat na hohoro-lalanen, no agama parendan ra, hetar. Mia basa parendaꞌ fo mana mia baꞌi Musa naa, bee ka manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ?”
37 And he said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
Boe ma Ana nataa nae, “Parendaꞌ fo manaseliꞌ sia Lamatualain Susura Meumaren nae, taꞌo ia: ‘Lamatualain naa, hei Lamatuam. De ama musi sue lenaꞌ e mia basaꞌ e. Huu naa, hei musi hii E mikindooꞌ a, ma mihine E, ma manggate tao ues tungga Hihii-nanaun.’
38 This is the great and first commandment.
Parendaꞌ naa, pantin ma manaseliꞌ!
39 There is a second like it: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Boe ma parendaꞌ ka ruan, naꞌo ia: Musi sue atahori laen ra, onaꞌ ho sue aom boe.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Parendaꞌ rua ra ia ra, naeni huuꞌ mia basa baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen no Lamatualain mana dui-bꞌengga nara nenorin. Neꞌo atahori nda tungga parendaꞌ laen ra sa, mete ma ana nda feꞌe tungga naꞌahuluꞌ parendaꞌ karuaꞌ ia ra sa.”
41 And while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra feꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia naa, ma Yesus natane baliꞌ se nae,
42 saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
“Mia lele uluꞌ a Lamatualain helu haitua Kristus fo fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori nara. De tungga hei dudꞌuꞌa mara, Kristus naa, seka tititi-nonosin?” Boe ma ara rataa rae, “Eni, mane Daud tititi-nonosin.”
43 He saith to them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord? saying,
Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, taꞌo bee de Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu mane Daud fo noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatua’? Te Daud suraꞌ ena nae,
44 “The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I put thine enemies under thy feet.”
‘Lamatualain nafadꞌe au Lamatua ngga ena nae, “Uma fo endoꞌ sia bobꞌoa ona ngga, sia mamana nene fee hadꞌa-hormat ia. Huu dei fo Au tao musu mara, losa ara raloe ao nara neu nggo.’”
45 If David then calleth him lord, how is he his son?
Naa! Mia susura naa, hita tahine tae, mane Daud o noꞌe Kristus nae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’. Dadꞌi mete ma atahori rae Kristus naa, akaꞌ mane Daud tititi-nonosin, naa feꞌe nda dai sa! Huu Eni o Mane Daud Lamatuan boe!”
46 And no one was able to answer him a word; nor durst any one from that day question him any more.
Rena Yesus ola naꞌo naa ma, atahori Farisi ra hie-hie reuꞌ ena, nda hambu atahori esa saa sa boe bisa nataa nasafali Yesus sa ena. Naa de eniꞌ a mia faiꞌ naa ma, ara ramatau ratane ena, ma nda rambarani sobꞌa teꞌe-sii E sa ena.
