Matthew 22 (GEL)

1Ye̱so̱ sur m-no̱m sha-mu̱ u̱s-rem u̱zu̱,Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2<<Na hyanu̱ sha-mu̱ faru̱k-du̱ u-Ru̱ u̱ka waku̱n faru̱k wu̱ zo̱nge̱ no̱mu̱ wa'-u̱ wa mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-gu̱.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Wa tom to̱k-ne̱ rò e̱ fagu̱n ne̱t-tu̱ na bane̱ u̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-gu̱, se̱di ne̱t-tu̱ na bane̱ haagu̱n da.He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4<<Wa sur m-to̱m e̱ke̱n to̱k-ne̱ wa zu̱, <Waru̱n ne̱t-tu̱ na bane̱ u̱zu̱, u̱m zo̱ngte̱ no̱m u̱t-re̱, na pu̱nu̱mte̱ na i m-se̱m. Na taaste̱ zo̱ngu̱ ko̱-uyan, haan u̱ u̱du̱ u̱r-mo̱ro̱g.>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.’

5<<Se̱di e̱ e̱re̱g da. E̱ aru̱k u̱ su̱ e̱, waku̱n aru̱k u̱ tak-u wa, waku̱n aru̱k u-tu̱rru̱.But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6Tu̱msu̱ e̱ke̱n maas to̱k-ne̱ e̱, e̱ pepu̱r e̱, na ho e̱.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7Faru̱k hog u̱s-ryab sok. Wa tom karma-ne̱ wa ho̱rru̱sse̱ i ho̱ to̱k-ne̱ e̱, e̱ doos bo̱-u u̱n u-ra.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8<<U̱ da-u o̱ wa zu̱ to̱k-ne̱ wa, <Na taaste̱ zo̱ngu̱ u̱r-mo̱ro̱g, se̱di i na bane̱ e̱ kamu̱g da.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Remu̱ iya, do̱ro̱n u̱s-fu̱n, no̱ waru̱ i no̱ hyane̱ be̱e̱t e̱ haan u̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-gu̱.>Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10To̱k-ne̱ e̱ dor u̱s-fu̱n e̱ kargu̱ssu̱n ne̱t-tu̱ e̱ kume̱, ne̱t-tu̱ u̱r-ka u̱ i za u̱r-ka ne̱, be-du̱ u̱r-mo̱ro̱g haan de̱ shi u̱t-ne̱t sok.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.

11<<Da faru̱k cwane̱ wa hyan ne̱t-tu̱ haane̱, se̱ wa hyen waku̱n, wa wagu̱n to̱o̱go̱-yu̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-gu̱ da.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12Se̱ wa zu̱ ne̱tu̱ wa, <Hu̱bu̱ ri, ¿re̱ o̱ bo̱ nomte̱ bo̱ cwatu̱n u̱ ane̱ za bo̱ wa to̱o̱go̱-yu̱ mo̱ro̱g-du̱ u̱r-gu̱?> Ne̱tu̱ wa taag u̱ no̱m-u̱ wa de̱ u̱t-war.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13<<Faru̱k zu̱ i o̱ no̱mu̱ wa-m-ank, <Gu̱ksu̱n naas-u̱s rò, u̱t-kom ne̱, no̱ gun wu̱n u̱-do̱ u̱-me̱ u-cwu̱m, ku̱na wa do̱te̱ u̱s-kan u̱ ep-mu̱ jo-u ne̱.> >>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.’

14Ye̱so̱ zu̱, <<Ru̱-u̱ fak u̱t-ne̱t u-tát, se̱di ne̱t-to̱ cashi i wa dage̱.>>For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Da-u̱ Ye̱so̱ zu̱ye̱ iya, Farisa-ne̱ do̱'e̱ e̱ do̱ro̱g u̱ka e̱ do̱te̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n u̱r-re̱n u̱ remu̱ no̱mu̱ wa ware̱.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16Se̱ e̱ to̱mo̱n a-doru̱ u̱n u̱r-kot u̱ ne̱t-u̱t Here̱ ne̱. E̱ zu̱, <<Wa-u̱t-ko̱se̱, it nak bo̱ o̱ m-shu̱p u̱t-nip ne̱, tu̱msu̱ bo̱ o̱ no̱mu̱ na ko̱se̱-tu̱ fu̱n-yu̱ u-Ru̱ te̱k-u̱ u̱t-nip. It zu̱u̱g iya remu̱ zu̱ ne̱t-to̱ u̱s-gan u̱du̱ ró, tu̱msu̱ bo̱ ko̱ste̱ m-ku̱u̱k da.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.

17Waru̱ it u̱zu̱, ¿Yan-o̱ bo̱ zu̱ye̱, no̱ng u̱r-zwar na to̱p shik-u̱ tar u̱du̱ Kaisar Faru̱k, ko̱ ana to̱p da?>>So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Ba shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱zu̱ Ye̱so̱ nak no̱m-u̱ u̱n u̱t-sa, se̱ wa zu̱ u̱n, <<No̱ a-ha-mu̱ u̱r-no̱ ne̱! ¿Remu̱ u-yan o̱ no̱ o̱tte̱ no̱mu̱ me̱ m-re̱ge?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Ko̱su̱n me̱ shik i na topte̱ tar.>> Se̱ e̱ haatu̱n wu̱n ko̱nko̱ shik.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20Se̱ wa zu̱ u̱n, <<¿Ryu̱n-u wan o̱? Tu̱msu̱ ¿dim-u̱r wande̱ u̱ ane̱?>>“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21E̱ shu̱s e̱ zu̱, <<Kaisar wa.>> Se̱ Ye̱so̱ zu̱, <<Na ya' Sisar no̱m-u̱ o̱ u̱ wa, tu̱msu̱ no̱ ya' u-Ru̱ no̱m-u̱ o̱ u-Ru̱.>>“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Da-u̱ e̱ ho̱ge̱ iya, e̱ ship u̱t-nu e̱ hu̱ mu̱rimmo̱. E̱ yagu̱ wu̱n, e̱ aru̱k.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23U̱ ho̱-u̱r re̱ hen, e̱ke̱n Saduki-ne̱ haan u̱du̱ Ye̱so̱. U̱na zu̱ye̱ yu̱ne̱-du̱ marimari ne̱ zarra. E̱ shit wu̱n.That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24E̱ zu̱, <<Wa-u̱t-ko̱se̱, Mosa zu̱u̱g, <A ne̱tu̱ mare̱ wa kwu̱mu̱g wa' da, ka u̱t-no̱m zarra, se̱ hu̱no-u wa gaag ne̱ta-u ya u̱ remu̱ wa kwu̱m-tu̱ wa yaag.>“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.

25E̱ke̱n o̱ro u̱ te̱k-u̱ it, campa-ne̱ ta'er ya'ag-u̱ wa-gan. Wa u̱r-taku̱n no̱ng u̱r-gu̱ wa haan wa mu̱r za wa', wa yaksu̱ hu̱no-u wa ne̱ta.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26Ganse̱ tu̱msu̱ u̱ wu̱ u-yu̱ru̱mse̱, u̱ u-tu̱tu̱rse̱ ne̱ m-te̱ wa u-ta'er.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Da-u̱ e̱ mu̱rme̱ be̱e̱t, ne̱ta-u ya mu̱r ko̱wa.And last of all, the woman died.

28U̱ da-o̱, u̱ ho̱-du̱ yu̱ne̱-du̱ marimari ne̱, ¿ne̱ta wana wa de̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t remu̱ zu̱ ne̱t-ne̱ ta'er gaag wa?>>In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Ye̱so̱ shu̱s wa zu̱, <<Dorog-u̱s no̱ za ho̱n-ho̱n da, remu̱ zu̱ no̱ nak rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ su̱ o̱ m-pan da, tu̱msu̱ no̱ nak shin-mu̱ o̱ u̱ se̱ da.Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Da-u̱ yu̱ne̱-du̱ marimari ne̱, ne̱t-tu̱ za re̱-du̱ shu̱ no̱m-du̱ u̱r-gu̱ u̱-me̱ dak-u uno̱ da, tu̱msu̱ ne̱ta-ne̱ za ha-mu̱ u̱r-gu̱ da, ne̱t-tu̱ de̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t u̱ka a-u̱s-to̱m u-Ru̱ ne̱.In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31Tu̱msu̱ u̱ mo̱t-tu̱ yu̱ne̱-du̱ marimari ne̱, ¿no̱ karu̱nte̱ no̱m-u̱ Ru̱-u̱ waru̱ no̱ da? Na panu̱g u̱zu̱,But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32<Me̱ wa o̱ Ru̱-u̱ Ibrahi, Ru̱-u̱ Ishaku tu̱msu̱ Ru̱-u Yakubu.> Wu̱n Ru̱-u̱ a u̱r-fat ne̱ o̱ za marimari ne̱ da.>>‘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.”

33Da-u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ ho̱ge̱ iya, e̱ hu̱ mu̱rimmo̱ u̱ remu̱ ko̱se̱-u̱t Ye̱so̱.When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Da Farisa-ne̱ ho̱ge̱ u̱zu̱ Saduki-ne̱ taagte̱ u̱ no̱m-u̱ e̱ de̱ shasu̱ Ye̱so̱, se̱ Farisa-ne̱ mo̱ro̱g u̱r-be u̱r-gan.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Waku̱n wa ko̱se̱-tu̱ bo̱r-u̱t Mosa u̱ te̱k-u̱ me̱ u̱n, wa no̱m u̱r-shu̱t remu̱ wa reg-u̱t Ye̱so̱.One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36Wa zu̱, <<Wa-u̱t-ko̱se̱, ¿yan bo̱r-ya zege̱ u̱ te̱k-u̱ me̱ bo̱r-u̱t Mosa?>>“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Ye̱so̱ shu̱s wa zu̱, << <Cwan u-Ru̱ Yawe u̱ jab-u̱ ró ne̱ be̱e̱t, u̱ fat-u̱r ró ne̱ be̱e̱t, u̱ dorog-u̱s ró ne̱ be̱e̱t.>Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Inya ya o̱o̱ge̱ bo̱r-u yat-ya tu̱msu̱ yu̱ ze̱ge̱ u̱r-zwar.This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Bo̱r-yu̱ u-yu̱ru̱mse̱ yu̱ zege̱ u̱r-zwar ya o̱ u̱s-gan u̱ yu̱ u̱r-taku̱n ne̱, <Bo̱ cwan wa-bo̱ru̱ ró u̱ka bo̱ o̱tte̱ cwan-tu̱ hi-u̱r ró.>And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Ko̱se̱-u̱t Mosa u̱t-be̱e̱t u̱ a-warru̱ rem-su̱ u-Ru̱ ne̱, to̱ rwu̱gu̱n u̱-me̱ bo̱r-u̱t tun-to̱ u̱t-yu̱r.>>All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Da Farisa-ne̱ mo̱rge̱ u̱r-be u̱r-gan, se̱ Ye̱so̱ shit u̱n,While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42wa zu̱, <<¿Yan-o̱ dorog-u̱s no̱ u̱ mo̱t-u̱t Kiristi? ¿Wa'-u̱ wana?>> E̱ zu̱ wu̱n, <<Wa'-u̱ Dawuda.>>“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Ye̱so̱ zu̱ u̱n, <<¿Re̱-o̱ Dawuda u̱ te̱k-u̱ Yar u-Ru̱ fogte̱ wu̱n Wa-ko-uyan ri? U̱m zu̱u̱g iya remu̱ zu̱ Dawuda zu̱u̱g,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44<< <Yawe zu̱u̱g Wa-ko-uyan ri, Shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱ ane̱ u̱ be-du̱ m-sek du̱ kom u̱t-cwa ri, Se̱ u̱m re̱e̱g u̱r-ko̱rro̱ du̱ hu̱u̱b-u̱t yo̱-to̱ ró u̱ ta u̱s-na ró.> >>‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45<<A Dawuda zu̱ Kiristi <Wa-ko-uyan> ¿Re̱ o̱ Kiristi shu̱'u̱te̱ wa'-u̱ rò?>>So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Waku̱n kerge̱ shas-du̱ Ye̱so̱ da. Du̱gu̱ ho̱-u̱r re̱ waku̱n swu̱ru̱g m-kwu̱m be̱b-du̱ no̱mu̱ wu̱n de̱ku̱n shu̱t-de̱ da.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
