Matthew 22 (TCZCHONG)

1Jesun amaho chu thulem dang jong aseipeh in ahi. Aman ajah uva,Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2“Van'a Lenggam chu lengkhat in achapa jineina golvah loupi tah abol thusim toh tekah thei ahi.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Neh le don ding gontupsoh ahiphat in, asohte asolin akikou ho chu agahetsah tauve. Ahin, amaho abon'un ahungnom tapouve!”He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4“Hiti chun aman asoh dang ho chu amaho gaseipeh dingin asolin, golvah anneh ding gontupsa ahitai. Bongchal ho le gancha thaotah ho chu kithat a, ijakai kigong tupma ahitai. Ankong um dingin hungun agatisah e.”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.’

5Hinlah akikou ho chun anahsah pouvin chule ama lampi cheh a ache tauve, khat alouva, achom dang khat akiveinaa,But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6Adangsen asottolle ho chu aman'un chule jachat umtah in abol'un chule athat tauve.”The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7“Lengpa chu alunghang in, chule asepai te asoldoh in tolthat ho chu asumang'in chule akhopiu jong ahal tauve.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8Chule aman asohte jah a, ‘Golvah an gonsan aumtai, chule jin’a kikouho jong jabolna bangtah in aum pouve.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Tun lamlhong aningkoi tin'ah cheuvin chule namu mu hou chu gakou uvin,' ati.Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10Hiti chun sohte chun amu chanu chu mipha le miphalou geijin akou uvin ahileh, golvah in chu jin adimtai.”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“Hinlah lengpa chu jinho kimupia ahunga ahileh, aman mikhat chu kichenna Golvah vona kivonlou amudoh tai.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12'Gol,' 'Golvah vona kivon louva iti dana hikom'a naum ham?' tia adoh le imachan adonbut tapoi.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13Chutah in lengpa chun alhachate ho jah a, 'Akhut le akeng ho kan'un lang chule polam muthima lehdoh tauvin, hichea chu kana le hagelna um ding ahi.'”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“Ajeh chu mitampi kikouva ahi, hinlah mi themcha bou deilhen ahi,” ati.For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Chutah in Pharisee ho akihouvun Jesu chu athuseiya kipal sah a mat ding angaito tauve.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16ama hon aseijui teu phabep asol'un, chule Herod lama pangho jong jaotha ahiuve. Ama hon “Houhil,” mikitah nahi ti kaheuve. “Nangman Pathen lampi dihtah nahil'in koima datkhen naneipoi chule maipha nave poi,” atiuvin ahi.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.

17“Tun hiche thua hi ipi nagel em nei seipeh un: Caesar henga kai peh hi dih am ole dihlou ham?” atiuve.So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Hinlah Jesun alunggel'u phalou chu ahen, aseijin, “Nangho mi phalhem ho!” “Ipi dinga duha a neimat got uham?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Kai kipehna sum chu neivetsah un,” ati. Ama hon Rome te sum avetsah tauve.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20Aman adongin, “Koilim le koipen min ham?” tin adong tai.“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21Ama hon adonbut'un, “Caesar a,” atiuve. Aman aseipeh in, “Caesar a chu Caesar peuvin, chule Pathen a chu Pathen peuvin,” ati.“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Aman adonbutna chu adatmo uvin chuin achemang tauve.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23Hiche nikho ma-ma chun Sadducee hon mithi ho thokitna aumpoi ti hou lamkai ho Jesu henga ahungun, hiche thudoh hi ahung bol tauve.That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24“Houhil, Mose chun mi koi ham khat cha nei louva athi khah tah a ahileh anaopa chun meithainu chu akichenpia chule acha chun aupa min apoh ding ahi ati.“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.

25Aphai, vetsahnan sopi pasal sagi aum'e. Atahpen pa chun ji aneijin cha neilouvin athitai, chuti chun asopipa chun meithainu chu akichenpi tai.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26Hinlah asopi anina pa jong chu athitan, chule asopi athum channa pan amanu chu akichenpi tai. Asagina chanin hiti chun abonchauvin aum tauve.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Achainan, numeinu jong athitai.And last of all, the woman died.

28Hijeh chun nei seipeh un, thokitna a chu koipen ji hiding hitam? Ajeh chu asagi uva chu amanu akichenpiu ahi” tin adong tauve.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Jesun adonbut in, “Pathen Thu le Pathen Thahatna nahet lou jeh uva na suhkhel jiu ahi.Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Ajeh chu mithiho chu thokitna a amaho kicheng talou, kichen jong kibolsah talou ahiuve. Amaho chu van'a vantil te tobang ahiuve.”In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31“Hinlah tun, mithiho thokitna um ham tithua Pathen Thua na simdoh khahlou uham? Masangpeh a ana thisaho Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob ho chu athijou peh uvin, Pathen'in aseijin,But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32'Keima Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob Pathen kahi.' Hitia chu Ama ahing ho Pathen ahin, athiho Pathen ahipoi,” ati.‘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.”

33Mihonpi chun athusei ajah phat un, athuhil chu adatmo lheh tauve.When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Ahin aman Sadducee ho paomo hel'a alha chu Pharisee hon ajahdoh phat un, amaho akikhom un, ama thudohna neikit dingin akinopto tauve.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Amaho lah a mikhat Hou Dan thuthem khat chun hiche thudoh a hi kipalsah ding agon ahi.One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36“Houhil, Mose dan dungjuiya hoipen hi thupeh lenpen ham?” ati.“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Jesun adonbut in, “'Nangman Pakai na Pathen chu nalung pumpia, na hinna pumpia chule na lungthim pumpia na ngailut ding ahi.'Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Hiche hi thupeh amasa le alenpen ahitai.This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Anina jong athupina kibang ahi. 'Nangma na kingailut banga naheng nakom na ngailut ding ahi.'And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Hiche thupeh tenia hi Danthu apumpi le themgao hon angeh jouseu chu kikhaiya ahi,” ati.All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Hipet chun Pharisee hon aum kimvel un, Jesun amaho thudoh khat adongin:While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42“Messiah chung chang thua ipi nagel uvem? Ama koi cha ham?” ati. Ama hon adonbut un, Ama David Chapa ahi,” atiuve.“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Jesun adonbut in, “Chuti ahileh iti dan'a David chun Lhagao Thengin ahetsah a konna Messiah chu ‘Ka-Pakai’ ati hintem?” Ajeh chu David chun,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44'Pakai chun ka Pakai kom'a, Keiman na melmate kasuh nem'a nakengto noiya kakoi masang sen, kijabolna kakhut jet ah tou jingin,' ati.‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45David in Messiah chu 'Ka Pakai,' tia akou thei leh, Messiah chu iti achapa hithei ding ham?” ati.So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Chuin koima chan ama chu adonbut thei tapouve. Chule hiche jouva pat chun, koiman thudoh abolngam tapouve.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
