Matye 22
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Parabòl bankè a
(Lik 14:15-24)
22 Jezi te kontinye ap sèvi ak parabòl pou anseye pèp la. 2 Li di yo: “Wayòm Bondye a se tankou yon wa ki prepare yon gwo resepsyon maryaj pou pitit gason l. 3 Lè lè a rive, li voye sèvitè l yo pou fè envite yo sonje jou nòs la. Men tout moun li te envite yo te refize vini.
4 Yon dezyèm fwa, li voye sèvitè l yo al kote envite yo pou di yo tout bagay gen tan pare. Mwen gen tan touye pi bon bèf mwen yo ak lòt bèt ankò. Tout bagay pare, m ap tann nou pou nou vin nan nòs la.
5 Men tout envite yo te fè la soudorèy, epi yo te kontinye ap regle zafè pèsonèl yo. Genyen k al travay nan jaden yo, gen lòt k al regle zafè komès yo. 6 Gen yon lòt gwoup menm ki mete men sou sèvitè wa a, yo maltrete yo epi touye yo. 7 Sa te fè wa a fache anpil. Li voye sòlda l yo al touye tout asasen yo. Apre sa, li fè mete dife nan vil kote yo t ap viv la.
8 Apre sa, wa a di sèvitè l yo: Resepsyon nòs la fin pare, men nou te gen move kalite envite. 9 Konsa, ale kanpe nan kafou yo, epi envite tout moun k ap pase pou yo vin nan resepsyon nòs la. 10 Sèvitè wa a soti nan lari a, yo ranmase tout moun yo te jwenn, bon moun tankou move moun. Konsa resepsyon an te vin plen moun.
11 Men lè wa a vin fè yon ti kontwòl sou moun ki te nan resepsyon an, li wè yon nonm ki pa t gen rad nòs sou li. 12 Wa a di l: zanmi m, kijan w fè kote w ye a san ou pa gen rad nòs sou ou? Men moun ki pa t gen rad nòs la pa t menm ka di yon mo. 13 Apre sa wa a di sèvitè l yo: Mare de pye l mare de bra l, epi voye l jete nan fènwa deyò a, kote k ap gen kriye ak manje dan an.
14 Wi, Bondye rele anpil moun, men se sèlman yon ti ponyen li chwazi.”
Jezi reponn yon kesyon pyèj
(Mak 12:13-17; Lik 20:20-26)
15 Apre sa, Farizyen yo kite kote Jezi t ap anseye a epi y al fè yon reyinyon. Yo t ap eseye tann yon pyèj pou Jezi, sitou nan sa l ap di. 16 Farizyen yo voye bò kote Jezi kèk disip pa yo ansanm ak kèk patizan wa Ewòd. Yo di li: “Mèt, nou konnen ou toujou met verite a kote l ye. W ap montre moun chemen Bondye. Sa ou gen pou di a, se li w ap di. Ou pa gade moun sou laparans. 17 Konsa nou bezwen genyen opinyon w sou kesyon sa a: Èske se byen pou nou kontinye peye taks bay Seza, wi ou non?”
18 Men Jezi te konnen ki movèz entansyon yo te genyen nan poze l kesyon sa a. Konsa li di yo: “Bann ipokrit! Poukisa n ap chache pran m nan pyèj? 19 Montre m yon pyès lajan nou sèvi pou nou peye taks.” Yo pote yon pyès kòb ba li. 20 Li mande yo: “Foto ki moun ak non ki moun ki sou pyès kòb sa a?”
21 Yo reponn li: “Foto Seza ak non Seza.”
Epi li di yo: “Bay Seza sa k pou Seza, bay Bondye sa k pou Bondye!”
22 Apre yo fin tande repons sa a, yo te tèlman sezi, yo kite Jezi repo. Y ale fè wout yo.
Kèk Sadiseyen ap chache pyeje Jezi
(Mak 12:18-27; Lik 20:27-40)
23 Nan menm jou a, kèk Sadiseyen te vin kote Jezi. (Sadiseyen yo pa kwè nan koze rezirèksyon.) Men kesyon yo te poze l: 24 “Mèt, Moyiz te anseye si yon mesye marye mouri san l pa gen pitit, frè li dwe marye ak madanm defen an, pou l ka fè pitit pou frè ki mouri a.[a] 25 Vwala te gen yon fanmi ki te gen sèt pitit gason. Premye frè a marye, li mouri san fè pitit. Konsa dezyèm frè a marye ak madanm defen an. 26 Menm bagay rive dezyèm ak twazyèm frè a, jouk yo tout sèt la te marye ak menm fi a epi mouri san fè pitit. 27 Fi a vin mouri an dènye. 28 Kòm yo tout sèt la te marye ak menm fi a, apre rezirèksyon an, madanm kilès l ap ye?”
29 Jezi reponn, li di yo: “Nou nan erè, paske nou pa konnen sa Bib la di, ni nou pa konprann pouvwa Bondye. 30 Youn nan bagay nou bezwen konprann, apre rezirèksyon an, p ap gen koze maryaj ankò. Nou ap tankou anj nan syèl la. 31 Sou kesyon rezirèksyon an, èske nou pa janm li sa Bondye di nan pwòp avantaj nou: 32 Mwen se Bondye Abraram nan, Bondye Izarak la, ak Bondye Jakòb la?(A) Bondye pa Bondye moun mouri, li se Bondye moun vivan.”
33 Foul moun yo te etone anpil lè yo tande jan Jezi t ap anseye.
Ki kòmandman ki pi Empòtan?
(Mak 12:28-34; Lik 10:25-28)
34 Lè Farizyen tande jan Jezi te fèmen bouch Sadiseyen, yo fè yon reyinyon. 35 Youn ladan yo, yon ekspè nan Lalwa Moyiz la, poze Jezi kesyon sa a: 36 “Mèt, ki pi gran kòmandman ki gen nan Lalwa a?”
37 Jezi reponn li: “Renmen Senyè Bondye ou la ak tout kè w, ak tout nanm ou, ak tout panse ou.(B) 38 Sa a se premye ak pi gran kòmandman an. 39 Dezyèm nan ki sanble ak premye a se: Renmen pwochen w[b] menm jan ak pwòp tèt pa w.(C) 40 Tout sa ki ekri nan Lalwa ak Pwofèt yo chita sou de gwo kòmandman sa yo.”
Èske Mesi a se pitit David?
(Mak 12:35-37; Lik 20:41-44)
41 Pandan Farizyen yo te kòmanse ap rasanble, Jezi poze yo yon kesyon: 42 “Ki sa nou panse konsènan Kris la? Pitit kilès li ye?”
Yo reponn li: “Li se pitit David.”
43 Jezi di yo: “Si se konsa, poukisa David rele l Senyè? Se anba kontwòl Sentespri David t ap pale, lè l di:
44 Bondye di Senyè m nan:
Chita sou bò dwat mwen,
jiskaske m fè lènmi w yo
tonbe anba pouvwa w!(D)
45 Bon, si David rele Mesi a Senyè, kijan li ta ka fè pitit David ankò?”
46 Tout moun te rete bouch be! Depi lè a tou tout moun te kraponnen, pèsonn pa t brav ase pou poze Jezi kesyon ankò.

New King James Version
The Parable of the Wedding Feast(A)
22 And Jesus answered (B)and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; (C)my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them [a]spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out (D)his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not (E)worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10 So those servants went out into the highways and (F)gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there (G)who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was (H)speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, [b]take him away, and cast him (I)into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 (J)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(K)
15 (L)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the (M)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [c]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus [d]perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”
So they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
And He said to them, (N)“Render[e] therefore to Caesar the things that are (O)Caesar’s, and to God the things that are (P)God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.
The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(Q)
23 (R)The same day the Sadducees, (S)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: “Teacher, (T)Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [f]mistaken, (U)not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (V)are like angels [g]of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 (W)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the multitudes heard this, (X)they were astonished at His teaching.
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(Y)
34 (Z)But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, (AA)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, (AB)“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: (AC)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AD)On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AE)
41 (AF)While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The (AG)Son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44 ‘The(AH) Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” 46 (AI)And no one was able to answer Him a word, (AJ)nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.

English Standard Version
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
22 And again Jesus (A)spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 (B)“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave (C)a wedding feast for his son, 3 and (D)sent his servants[a] to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 (E)Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my (F)dinner, (G)my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But (H)they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, (I)treated them shamefully, and (J)killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and (K)destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not (L)worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and (M)gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there (N)a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, (O)‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and (P)cast him into the outer darkness. In that place (Q)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are (R)called, but few are (S)chosen.”
Paying Taxes to Caesar
15 (T)Then the Pharisees went and plotted how (U)to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent (V)their disciples to him, along with (W)the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, (X)we know that you are true and teach (Y)the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for (Z)you are not swayed by appearances.[b] 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay (AA)taxes to (AB)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why (AC)put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius.[c] 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, (AD)“Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they (AE)left him and went away.
Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection
23 The same day (AF)Sadducees came to him, (AG)who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, (AH)‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, (AI)because you know neither the Scriptures nor (AJ)the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (AK)marry nor (AL)are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, (AM)have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 (AN)‘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.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, (AO)they were astonished at his teaching.
The Great Commandment
34 (AP)But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced (AQ)the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 (AR)And one of them, (AS)a lawyer, asked him a question (AT)to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, (AU)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And (AV)a second is like it: (AW)You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 (AX)On these two commandments depend (AY)all the Law and the Prophets.”
Whose Son Is the Christ?
41 (AZ)Now while the Pharisees (BA)were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about (BB)the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, (BC)“The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, (BD)in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
44 (BE)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45 If then David calls him Lord, (BF)how is he his son?” 46 (BG)And no one was able to answer him a word, (BH)nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
