Mātiu 22
1And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying,
1PEA lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo toe pehēange kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā;
2“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,
2“ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tuʻi ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻi he taʻane ʻa hono foha,
3and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
3ʻO ne fekau atu ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ui ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai ʻae taʻane: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie haʻu.
4Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’
4Pea toe fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai, “Vakai, kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae kai: kuo tāmateʻi ʻeku fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, pea kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: haʻu ki he taʻane.”|’
5But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business,
5Ka naʻa nau fakavaʻivaʻinga ʻaki ia, ʻo taki taha ʻalu, ko e taha ki heʻene ngoue, ko e taha ki heʻene meʻa fakatau:
6while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
6Pea puke ʻo ngaohikoviʻi mo tāmateʻi, ʻe he niʻihi, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
7The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
7Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea houhau: ʻo ne fekau atu ʻene ngaahi kongakau, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau fakapō ko ia, pea tutu ʻenau kolo,
8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy.
8Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻae kātoanga taʻane, ka ko kinautolu kuo tala ki ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga.
9Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’
9Ko ia mou ʻalu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea ko kinautolu te mou ʻilo, fakahā ki ai ʻae taʻane.’
10And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
10Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa, ʻo fakakātoa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo, ʻae kovi mo e lelei: pea tokolahi ai ʻae kakai ʻi he taʻane.
11“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment.
11“Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata ki he kakai, naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ʻae tangata kuo ʻikai ʻi ai ha kofu taʻane.
12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’And he was speechless.
12Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Kāinga, naʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻo hū mai ki heni ʻoku ʻikai hao kofu taʻane?’ Pea fakalongo pē ia.
13Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
13Pea toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Haʻi hono vaʻe mo e nima pea ʻave, ʻo lī ia ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
14“He ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
15Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words.
15Pea toki ʻalu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau femioekina ia ʻi he alea.
16And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances.
16Pea nau fekau kiate ia ʻenau kau ākonga mo e kau Helotiane, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ke ako moʻoni ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata.
17Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
17Ko ia ke ke tala mai kiate kimautolu, Ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku ngofua ke ʻoatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
18But Jesus, aware of their malice, said,“Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?
18Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau angakovi, pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kau mālualoi, ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?
19Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.
19Fakahā mai ʻae paʻanga tukuhau.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tenali.
20And Jesus said to them,“Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
20Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mata eni mo e tohi ʻa hai?”
21They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them,“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
21Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.” Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoange kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa; pea ʻoange ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
22When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.
22Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
23The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,
23Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau Sātusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu, ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
24saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.’
24ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe fakamaʻu hono tokoua mo hono ʻunoho, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother.
25Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu; ko e ʻuluaki naʻe fakamaʻu mo e ʻunoho, pea mate ia, kuo ʻikai haʻane fānau, pea tuku hono ʻunoho ki hono tokoua.
26So too the second and third, down to the seventh.
26Pea pehē pe foki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, ʻo hoko ki hono toko fitu.
27After them all, the woman died.
27Pea mate fakamui ʻae fefine.
28In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”
28Pea ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe hoko ia ko e ʻunoho ʻo hai ʻi he toko fitu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē.”
29But Jesus answered them,“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
29Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou hē, ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki he ngaahi tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
30Koeʻuhi ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali, ka ʻe tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he langi.
31And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:
31Ka koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻoe mate, ʻoku teʻeki te mou lau ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”
32‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’ ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mate ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e moʻui.”
33And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
33Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki.
34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
34Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi kuo ne fakalongo ʻae kau Sātusi, naʻe fakataha leva ʻakinautolu.
35And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.
35Pea fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia ʻe honau tokotaha, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,
36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
36“ʻEiki, ko e fekau fē ʻi he fono ʻoku lahi?”
37And he said to him,“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
37Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “|‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho laumālie kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho loto kotoa.’
38This is the great and first commandment.
38Ko e ʻuluaki pea ko e lahi ia ʻoe fekau.
39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
39Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia, Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’
40On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
40Ko e fekau ni ʻe ua ʻoku tautau ai ʻae fono kotoa mo e kau palōfita.”
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
41Pea ʻi he kei fakataha ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu,
42saying,“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.”
42ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā homou loto ki he Kalaisi? Ko e foha ia ʻo hai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻO Tevita.”
43He said to them,“How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
43Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ai hono ui ia ʻe Tevita ʻi he Laumālie, ‘ʻEiki,’ ʻi heʻene pehē,
44“‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet’?
44‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe”|’?
45If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
45Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfeeʻi ia?”
46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
46Pea naʻe ʻikai ha lea ʻe faʻa lea ʻaki ʻe ha tangata kiate ia; talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fehuʻi ʻe ha taha kiate ia.
