Matthew 22 (ROW)

1Basa ma Yesus olaꞌ no se fai nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ nae,Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2“Lamatualain toꞌu parendan naa, onaꞌ maneꞌ sa tao fefeta kakabꞌiꞌ fee ana toun.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Leleꞌ 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.He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4Basa 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.’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.’

5Ate 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,But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6ma ruma toꞌu rala maneꞌ a ate nara, de poko-paru se losa ara mate.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7Rena 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.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8Basa 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.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Ia na, ama mii sia dala rarameꞌ fo mindaa mo sudꞌiꞌ a se, na moꞌe mendi se.’Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10Basa 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.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.

11Basa ma, maneꞌ a nisi mamana fefetas rala neu de mete rereoꞌ fuiꞌ ra. Ma ana nita atahori esa nda pake buꞌa-baꞌu fefetas sa.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12Boe 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.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13Boe 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.’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.’

14Onaꞌ naa boe, Lamatualain narolo atahori hetar, te tengga nala akaꞌ idꞌaꞌ dadꞌi neu Eni atahorin.’For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Atahori Farisi ra rena rala Yesus olaꞌ naꞌo naa, ma rala haraꞌ fo rae teꞌe-sii ma fua salaꞌ neu E.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16Basa 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.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.

17De ia na, hai mae mitane dalaꞌ sa. Tungga hita atoran agama Yahudi na, ata musi bae bea neu mana parenda Roma manen, do afiꞌ?”So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Te 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?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Mitudꞌu sobꞌa Au doi fulaꞌ sa fo atahori bae rendiꞌ neu bea!” Boe ma ara ratudꞌu doi fulaꞌ neu E.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20Basa ma, Ana natane se nae, “Ia seka mata-aon ia? Ma ia seka naran ia?”“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21Ara 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.”“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Rena 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.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23Sia 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,That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24“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.“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.

25Memaꞌ, 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.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26Nda 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.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Basa ma, ina falu a mate.And last of all, the woman died.

28Naa! 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?”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Basa 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!Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Matetun, 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.In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31Boe 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,But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32‘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?!”‘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.”

33Rena 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!”When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra rena rae, Yesus nasenggiꞌ atahori Saduki ra, ma ara raꞌabꞌue reu esa de rae ratane rasafafali E.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Sira mana mahine agaman esa nae teꞌe-sii sobꞌa Yesus nae,One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36“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?”“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Boe 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.’Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Parendaꞌ naa, pantin ma manaseliꞌ!This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Boe ma parendaꞌ ka ruan, naꞌo ia: Musi sue atahori laen ra, onaꞌ ho sue aom boe.’And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Parendaꞌ 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.”All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Leleꞌ atahori Farisi ra feꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia naa, ma Yesus natane baliꞌ se nae,While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42“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.”“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Yesus 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,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44‘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.’”‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45Naa! 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!”So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Rena 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.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
