Matthew 22 (WLO)

1Kasiimpo apendua uka o Isa apogau tee apake ibarati.Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

2"Pamarintana Aulataʼala sumai mboomo ibaratina samia raja mopadhaangiana kariaana kawia to anana umane.“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

3Incia atumpu manga bhatuana to alingka akemba manga mia mopadhana ikembana i kariaa sumai, maka manga mia sumai amendeu aumba.He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

4Kasiimpo raja atumpu uka bhatuana mosagaanana tee aposamea, 'Paumbaia manga kakemba sumai, 'Kinandena kariaa asiapumo, sapi tee manga anana sapi momalapena padhamo atosumbele. Bhari-bharia asiapumo, jadi uumbamo i kariaa sumai!'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.’

5Maka manga kakemba sumai inda afaduliakea. Dhaangia molingkana i inawuna, dhaangia moʼurusuna usahana.But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

6Tee dhaangia uka morakona manga bhatuana raja sumai, kasiimpo asikisaaia tee apekamatea.The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

7Sabutuna aʼamaramo mpuu o raja sumai, tee atumpumo manga tantarana mamudhaakana apabinasa manga mia mopekamatena bhatuana sumai tee atunu kotana manga incia.The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

8Sapadhana sumai, apogaumo raja i bhatuana, 'Kinandena kariaa asiapumo, maka manga mia mopadhana ikemba inda alaenga to atokemba.Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

9Rampaakanamo sumai, lingkamo i simpangana dhala tee ukemba malingu mia ipokawaakamiu iwe sumai to aumba i kariaa sii.'Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10Kasiimpo manga bhatua sumai alingka i dhala oge to aromusaka malingu mia ipokawaakana iwe sumai, dhaangia o mia madhaki tee dhaangia uka o mia malape. Sabutuna abukeakamo kakemba o tampana kariaa kawia sumai.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.

11Wakutuuna raja apesua to apokawaaka manga kakemba sumai, incia akamatamo samia o mia inda mopakena bhaju molaengana to moumbana i kariaa.But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

12Apogaumo o raja tee mia incia sumai, 'E witinai, pokia ingkoo upesua iwe sii tee inda upake bhajuna kariaa?' Maka o mia incia sumai soo atongo tee inda abhoasaka opeopea uka.‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

13Sabutuna o raja sumai apogaumo tee manga bhatuana, 'Bhokea o limana tee aena mia incia sii kasiimpo utudhaakea i tampa momalalanda mpuu, i tampa incia sumai dhaangia tee tangi tee mopakiri-kirina ngincina.' "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.’

14Kasiimpo Isa aʼaahiri ibarati sumai tee apogau, "Abhari o mia ikemba, maka saidhemea motopilina."For many are called, but few are chosen.”

15Kasiimpo alingkamo manga mia minaaka i rombongana Farisi tee apomufakatiaka tuaapa o carana manga incia mamudhaakana amembali apetambo Isa tee opea ipogauakana.Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.

16Manga incia atumpu murina Farisi apobhawa-bhawa tee manga mia moalaakana Raja Herodes to aabhaki Isa, "E Guru, ingkami tamataua ande Ingkoo o mia mojujuru, tee uadhariaka kaadharina Aulataʼala tee kajujuru, tee inda umaeka i incemapo uka, roonamo Ingkoo inda upaposala-sala mia.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.

17Rampaakanamo sumai, manga paumbaakapo tee ingkami tuaapa o fikirimu. Buaka amembali tapomea balasitee i Kaisar Roma atawa inda?"So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

18Maka o Isa amataua o kadhakina ngangarandana manga incia. Kasiimpo Isa apogau, "E manga mia munaafiki, apokia gaumiu upetamboaku?But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

19Susuakaaku o doi to upomeaaka balasitee sumai." Manga incia abhawa satibha doi pera to Isa.Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.

20Kasiimpo o Isa aabha i manga incia, "Gambara tee sarona incema sii?"“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”

21Alawanimo manga incia, "Gambarana Kaisar tee sarona Kaisar." Kasiimpo o Isa apogau, "Dhawuakea to Kaisar opea momembalina pewauana Kaisar, tee udhawuakea i Aulataʼala opea momembalina pewauana Aulataʼala."“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22Wakutuuna arango kalawanina Isa sumai, amentemo manga incia, sabutuna alingka tee abholi Isa.And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23Eo incia sumai uka, dhaangia moumbana i Isa o mia mominaakana i rombongana Saduki mokofikirina ande o mia mobhanguna minaaka i mate sumai inda dhaangia. Manga incia aabha i Isa,That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24"Guru, Musa manga paumba ande samia umane amate inda tee anana, witinaina tabeana akawi tee iaiarona sumai tee adhawuakea siwuluna to almarhum.“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.

25I piamo itu dhaangia pitu mia tapowitinai umane i tanga-tangana ingkami. Witinaina o tumpe amate sapadhana akawi maka inda tee siwuluna. Roonamo incia inda tee siwuluna, jadi iaiarona almarhum sumai akawiakamo witinaina almarhum.Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26Witinaina amatemo uka maka inda tee siwuluna. Giu incia sumai amembali uka tee lima mia witinaina mosagaanana, sampe witinaina umane pitu miana sumai aposamate.The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.

27Kasiimpo bhawine sumai amate uka.And last of all, the woman died.

28Incema buaka i tanga-tangana pitu miana umane witinai sumai momembalina umanena bhawine siitu ande eona pabhanguana? Roonamo manga incia bhari-bharia padhamo amembali umanena."In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”

29Isa alawanimea kooni, "Ingkomiu ukalerumo mpuu, sababuna ingkomiu inda umaʼanaia Kitabi Momangkilo atawa kuasana Aulataʼala.Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

30Roonamo wakutuuna bheapabhangua, manga mia inda bheakawi tee inda atopakawi maka bheadhadhi mboomo malaaʼekati i sorogaa.In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

31Indapo mina buaka ingkomiu ubaca opea ipogauakana Aulataʼala to mia mate ipabhanguna pendua? Aulataʼala apogau,But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:

32'Iakumo Kawasana Opuna Ibrahim, Ishak, tee Yakub.' Incia mencuana Aulataʼala isombana manga mia mate, maka o mia modhadhi."‘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.”

33Wakutuuna mia bhari arango giu incia sumai manga incia amentemo tee opea iadhariakana.When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

34Wakutuuna manga mia minaaka i rombongana Farisi arango Isa inda apakoʼuu manga mia minaaka i rombongana Saduki, manga incia aporomusakamo.And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35Kasiimpo sala samia minaaka i manga incia, siitumo ahalii Hukumu Taurati aabhamo tee acobai Isa,One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36"Guru, parinta iapai mobhaa-bhaana i nuncana Hukumu Taurati?"“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”

37Alawanimo Isa, "Umaasiakea o Kawasana Opu Aulataʼalamu, tee mpuu-mpuuna incamu tee saangua dhadhimu tee bhari-bharia akalana budimu.'Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

38Siitumo parintana bhaa-bhaana tee o giu momatamona mpuu.This is the first and greatest commandment.

39Parinta rua anguna apokana tee bhaa-bhaana sumai, 'Umaasiakea o musirahamu mboomo umaasiaka karomu.'And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40Parinta rua angunamo sii moposaanguna tee mopotaangiakana bhari-bharia kaadharina Kitabi Taurati tee uka bhari-bharia kasameana Aulataʼala mopadhana motoburi minaaka i manga nabii."All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

41Tangasaana manga mia minaaka i rombongana Farisi dhaangia aporomu-romu iwe sumai, Isa aabhamo i manga incia,While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:

42"Opea fikirimiu to Raja Mopasalaamatina, Al Masi? Siwuluna incema Incia?" Lawanimo manga, "Siwuluna Raja Daud."“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.

43Apogaumo Isa, "Ande mboo itu, apokia o Raja Daud tee kuasana Rohina Aulataʼala Momangkilo asarongi Al Masi o 'Opu' wakutuuna apogau,Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:

44'Kawasana Opu apogaumo tee Opuku: Uncuramo i weta kaanaku, sakawana manga musumu kudhikaia i tambena aemu.'‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

45Jadi ande o Raja Daud asarongi Al Masi 'Opu,' tuaapa amembali Incia o siwuluna Raja Daud?"So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”

46Inda dhaangia samia momembalina molawanina Isa. Tee apepuu eo incia sumai, indamo dhaangia mobaranina moabhaakana opeopea uka tee Incia.No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
