Matthew 22 (RHGC)

1Isá ye ítara re aró ekbar meésal dí hoór de:Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2“Asmani raijjo óilde undilla baáñccar ḍóilla, zibá ye nizor fuar boirat or hána goijjé.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Zetará re boiraitta hánar dawot diya giyéh, ítara re matai bolla yóggwa ye nizor goóur ókkol difeṛáiye, montor ítara aitó nó saá.He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4“Yóggwa ye abar ar hodún goóur ore endilla hoói difeṛáiye, ‘Zetará re dawot diya giyéh ítara re hoibá de, yala añr ttu hána nal goijjá óiye; añr doóñra goru edde boli goru zooráiyi, yala beggún nal. Tuáñra boirat or hánat aiyó.’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“Montor ítara éckara gorí nizor-nizor ham ot giiyégoi, kiyé nizor kétit ar kiyé nizor códorit,But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6aar baki gúne yóggwar goóur gún ore dóri ítara re bodsólluk goijjé edde marifélaiye.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7Lekin híyan fúni baáñcca bicí rak óigiyoi, aar nizor fóous ókkol difeṛái hé kúni ókkol ore dónco gorífelaiye, edde ítarar cóor furat difélaiye.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8“Baade yóggwa ye nizor goóur gún ore hoór de, ‘Boirat or hána toh nal óiye, montor zetará re dawot diya gyíl ítara aibár laayek no.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Hétolla, cóor or rastar muáñ-muáñ zai zetó zon loot foo, ítara re boirat or hánar dawot dogói.’Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10Tói goóur gúne baáre rastat zai zaré-zaré loot faiyé, gom hóraf beggún ore dola goijjé; baade boiraitta-hána gán meémane furaigiyói.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“Montor baáñcca ye bútore meéman ókkol ore saitó aiccé de októt, héṛe boiraitta hoor afindá ezzon manúc deikké.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12Yóggwa ye ítar ttu fusár gorér de, ‘Dustó, tuñí boiraitta hoor sára eṛé bútore keéngori góillo?’ Manúc cwa ye honó zuwab di nó fare.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13“Hétunot baáñcca ye háadem ókkol ore hoór de, ‘Itar át ṭéng bañdí, itaré baáre andár ot félai dogói; héṛe hañdahaṛi edde date dat kirkirani óibo.’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.’

14“Kiyólla-hoilé ḍaha toh boóut zon ore giyéh, montor hoozzon ore beh basílowa gíyeh.”For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Hétunot Féroci ókkol zai, Isá re kii bote Íbar hotá lói hol ot félai faribó híyan sólla goijjégoi.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16Ítara nizor cárit tun ore Hérudiól or fúañti Íbar hañse difeṛái hoór de, “Ustat, añára zani de, Tuñí sóiyi hoó edde sóiyigori Allar rastar taalim doh. Tuñí maincé kii hoór forba no goró, kiyólla-hoilé Tuñí toh honókiyo re forók goró de nái.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.

17Añára re hoósai, Tuñí kii báfo? Romi baáñcca re házana doon zayes asé né náki nái?”So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Montor Isá ye tarár hóraf niyot ore zani hoór de, “Ó munafék ókkol, tuáñra Añré entán gorór kiyá?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Házana dee de héndilla ekkán Añré foicá dahó.” Tói tará Íbar re ekkán dinár aní diiyé.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20Íba ye tará re hoór de, “Yián har sóbi edde har nam?”“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21Tará Íba re hoór de, “Romi baáñccar.” Tói Íba ye tará re hoór de, “Tóoile ziín baáñccar híin baáñcca re diiyo, aar ziín Allar híin Alla re diiyo.”“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Híyan fúni tará taajup óigiyoi, aar Íba re eri giiyégoi.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23Hé din Sadukái ókkol Isár hañse aiccé, Sadukái ókkole háñcor nái hoó, ítara aái Íba re ekkán súwal goijjé,That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24ki hoilé, “Ustat, Muúsa ye hoiyé de, ‘Zodi honó manúc fuain sára morizagói, tóoile ítar bái ottu ítar bou híba re biyá gorífelai nizor bái olla nosól foida gorá foribó.’“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.

25Dóro, añárar bútore háñt zon bái accíl. Foóila wa ye biyá gorí fuain sára morigiyói, hétolla íte nizor bou wóre bái olla rakígiyoi.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26Héndilla hálot dusára, tisára ebbe háñto bái foijjonto óiye.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Ahérit, mayafua wa yó morigiyói.And last of all, the woman died.

28Hé ísafe, háñcor or hale híba ítara háñto zon ottu har bou óibo? Kiyólla-hoilé híba re toh ítara beggúne biyá goijjíl.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Isá ye ítara re zuwabe hoiyé de, “Tuáñra gollot ot asó, kiyólla-hoilé tuáñra toh no pak-kalam zano, aar no Allar kudurut zano.Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Kiyólla-hoilé háñcor or hále manúc ókkole no biyá goríbo aar no ítara re biyá díya zaybo, bólke ítara asman ot fíristar ḍóilla beh óibo.In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31Mora ókkol zinda ówar baabute hoitó sailé, tuáñra kí Alla ye tuáñra re hoiyé de yián nó foró,But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32‘Añí óilam de Ibrahím or Alla, Isahák or Alla edde Yakub or Alla’? Alla toh mora ókkol or Alla no, bólke zinda ókkol or éna.”‘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.”

33Manúc cúne híyan fúinne rár, Íbar hé taalime taajup óigiyoi.When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Zeñtté Féroci ókkole fúinne de, Isá ye Sadukái ókkol ore nizám márai raikké, ítara ekkán ot zoma óiye.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Ítara ttu Córiyot or ézzon aleme entán gorí bolla Íba re súwal gorér de,One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36“Ustat, Tourat Córif ot hókum hon nán ebbe ḍoóñr?”“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Isá ye yóggwa re hoór de, “ ‘Mabud tuáñrar Alla re nizor fura dile, fura zane, edde fura demake muhábbot goríba.’Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Híyan óilde ebbe ḍoóñr edde ebbe zoruri hókum.This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Ebbe zoruri hókum dui nombór or gán óilde, ‘Nizor atehañsór maincóre nizor ḍóilla muhábbot goríba.’And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Hé hókum duníyan ot fura Córiyot edde nobi ókkol or hotá loṭkaiya.”All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Féroci gún ekkán ot zoma asé de októt, Isá ye ítara re ekkán súwal gorér de,While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42“Mosihr baabute tuáñrar buzá kii? Íba har Fua?” Ítara Íba re hoór de, “Dawud or Fua.”“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Íba ye ítara re hoór de, “Tóoile Dawude keéngori Íba re Ruhr hédaiyote ‘Malik’ ḍaikké? Íba ye toh endilla hoiyé,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44‘Mabude añr Malik ore hoór de, “Añr den ḍák ottu boiyó, zetókkal foijjonto Añí Tuáñr duccon ókkol ore Tuáñr foor tole gorí nó felai.” ’‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45Tói Dawude Íba re ‘Malik’ ḍaikké de óile, Íba keéngori Dawud or fua dé?”So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Íba re honókiye ehoór óu zuwab di nó fare, aar hé din lóti Íba re ar súwal gorí bolla honókiye hímmot no goittó.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
