Matthew 22 (BEO)

1Yesu da fedege sia: eno olelei.Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2“Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou da agoaiwane gala. Hina bagade dunu da ea mano ea uda lamusa: lolo nasu bagade hamoi.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Hina bagade da ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo musa: misa:ne adoi dunu huluane lolo nasu amoma misa:ne sia:musa: asunasi. Be musa: adoi dunu da misunu higa:i.He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4Amaiba:le, e da eno hawa: hamosu dunu asunasi. Ilia amane sia:i, “Hina bagade ea mano uda lasu lolo nasu liligi huluane da hahamoi dagoi. Bulamagau amola gebo huluane da medole, gobei dagoi. Hedolo misa!”Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

5Be adoi dunu da hame nabi. Ilia da udigili hawa: hamosu. Afadafa da ea ifabi amoga asi. Eno da ea bidi lasu diasu ouligimusa: asi.But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6Eno ilia da adola ahoasu dunu lale, fananu, medole legei.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7Amo hou nababeba:le, hina bagade da mi hanai galu. E da dadi gagui dunu asuna asi. Ilia da medosu dunu huluane medole legele, ili diasu amola laluga nei dagoi.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8Amalalu, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ema misa:ne sia:i. E da ilima amane sia:i, ‘Na mano ea uda lasu lolo nabe da hamoi dagoi. Be dunu na da musa: misa:ne sia:i, ilia da amoga misa:ne defele hame ba:i.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Wali dilia logo bagade amoga asili, nowa dunu dilia ba:sea, amo huluane na lolo nasu amoga hiougima.’Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10Amaiba:le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu da logoga asili, dunu huluane, wadela:i amola ida:iwane dunu gilisili lidi. Amalalu, uda lasu lolo nasu diasu da nabaidafa ba:i.So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11Hina bagade da ea lolo nabega dunu misi ba:la misi. Dunu afadafa da uda lasu hou abula hame idiniginisi ba:i.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12Hina bagade da ema amane sia:i, ‘Na:iyado! Di abuliba:le uda lasu abula mae salawane misibela:?’ Be amo dunu da gogosia:iba:le, bu sia:mu gogolei.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13Amalalu, hina da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia:i, ‘Amo dunu ea lobo amola emo la:gili, gadili gasi ganodini ha:digima. Amo ganodini e da bese ini dinanumu.’Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14Na da dunu bagohame ilima misa:ne sia:sa. Be Na da bagahame ilegesa.”For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Amalalu, Fa:lisi dunu da asili, Yesu dafama:ne Ema adole ba:musa: dawa:i galu.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16Ilia da ilia fa:no bobogesu dunu amola Helode ea fidisu dunu amo Yesuma asunasi. Ilia ogogole amane sia:i, “Olelesu! Dia hou da moloidafa amola Di da Gode Ea moloidafa hou ogogole hame olelesa, amo ninia dawa:. Di da osobo bagade dunu ilia hou mae dawa:le, Gode Ea hou fawane hamosa.They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.

17Amaiba:le, dia asigi dawa:su ninima olelema. Ninia da su lasu muni Gamane hina Sisa ema iasea ninia sema wadela:sala:? O hame wadela:sala:?”So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Be Yesu da ilia wadela:i asigi dawa:su dawa:beba:le, amane sia:i, “Dabua fawane molole ogogosu dunu! Dilia abuliba:le Na saniga sa:ima:ne sia:sala:?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Su lidisu fage Nama olema.” Amaiba:le, ilia da su fage Ema gaguli misi.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20E da ilima amane sia:i, “Amo fage dedei diala. Amo da nowa ea odagi amola nowa ea dio dedebela:?”“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21Ilia bu adole i, “Sisa!” Amalalu, Yesu E bu adole i, “Amaiba:le, dili Sisa ea dabe amo Sisama ima! Amola Gode Ea dabe amo Godema ima!”“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Amo sia: nababeba:le, ilia da fofogadigili, Yesu yolesili asi.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23Amo esoga, Sa:diusi dunu da Yesuma adole ba:musa: misi. Ilia da bogoi dunu ea da:i hodo da bu wa:legadomu, amo dafawaneyale hame dawa:i galu.That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24Ilia da Yesuma ado ba:musa:, amane adole ba:i, “Olelesu! Mousese da ninima olelemusa: agoane dedei. ‘Dunu da mano hame lalelegeiwane bogosea, ea ola o eya da ea didalo lale, mano hamomuyo.’ Amo mano da musa: bogoi amo buga:i ilia da sia:sa.“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

25Ninia fi ganodini, dunu afae ea mano da fesuale esalu. Magobo mano e da uda lale, mano hamedene bogoi. Amalalu, eaeya da amo ea didalo lai.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26E amola mano hamedene bogoi. Fa:no eaeya eno da didalo lale, asili, mano fesuale gala huluane amo uda afadafa lale, mano hamedene bogoi.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Fa:no, amo uda da bogoi dagoi.And last of all, the woman died.

28Amaiba:le, bogoi ilia bu uhini wa:legadosu esoha, amo uda, dunu fesuale amo ilia lai dagoiba:le, e da nowa ea uda esaloma:bela:?”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Yesu E bu adole i, “Dilia da Gode Sia: Dedei amola Gode Ea gasa hou hame dawa:beba:le, giadofale dawa:.Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Bogoi wa:legadosu esoga, uda lasu hou da bu hame ba:mu. Dunu amola uda ilia da a:igele dunu Hebene ganodini amo defele esalumu. Uda lasu hou da hame hamomu.In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31Be dilia bogoi wa:legadosu hou dawa:ma:ne, Gode Ea Sia: dedei nabima.But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32E amane sia:i, ‘Na da A:ibalaha:me ea Gode esala amola Aisage ea Gode esala amola Ya:igobe ea Gode esala.’ Gode da bogoi dunu ilia Gode hame. E da esalebe dunu ilia Gode!”‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33Amo olelesu nababeba:le, dunu huluane da bagadewane fofogadigi.When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Yesu E da Sa:diusi dunu ilia sia: banenesi amo ba:loba, Fa:lisi dunu da gilisi.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Sema olelesu dunu afadafa da Yesu dafama:ne, Ema amane adole ba:i,One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36“Olelesu! Sema baligili bagadedafa da habo?”“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Yesu E bu adole i, “‘Dilia dogoga, dilia a:silibuga, amola dilia asigi dawa:suga, Hina Godema asigima!’Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Go da sema baligili bagadedafa.This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Amo sema bagia da bisili sema defele diala, ‘Dilia da:i amoma asigi hou defele, dilia na:iyado ema asigima!’And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Sema huluane amola balofede dunu ilia olelesu huluane da amo sema aduna ganodini diala.”All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Fa:lisi dunu mogili da gilisibi ba:loba, Yesu da ilima amane adole ba:i,While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42“Dilia adi dawa:bela:? Mesaia da nowa Egefela:?” Ilia da bu adole i, “E da Da:ibidi egefe fawane.”“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Yesu E amane sia:i, “Amaiba:le, Gode Ea A:silibu Hadigidafa da oleleiba:le, Da:ibidi da abuliba:le Mesaia Ema ‘Hina Gode’ dio asulibela:? Gode Sia: Dedei da agoane diala,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44‘Da:ibidi da amane sia:i, “Hina Gode da na Hina Gode Ema amane sia:i, ‘Na da hobea Dia ha lai dunu Dia emoga osa:le heda:ma:ne fane legemu. Wali, di da Na lobodafadili fima.’‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45“Amaiba:le, Da:ibidi da Mesaia Ema ‘Hina Gode’ Dio asuliba:le, Mesaia da habodane Da:ibidi egefe fawane esalala:?”So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Dunu huluane da amo sia: nababeba:le, bu adole imunu gogolei. Ilia da beda:iba:le, eso enoga Ema bu hame adole ba:i.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
