Matayo 22
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Olugero olw’Embaga ey’Obugole
22 Yesu n’addamu n’ayogera nabo mu ngero ng’agamba nti, 2 (A)“Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana nga, kabaka eyategekera omwana we embaga ey’obugole. 3 (B)N’atuma abaddu be okuyita abaayitibwa ku mbaga, ne batayagala kujja.
4 (C)“Kabaka n’abatumira abaddu abalala babategeeze nti, ‘Mutegeeze abayite nti nteeseteese, ekijjulo, zisseddume zange n’ente ensavuwazze zittiddwa, era buli kimu kitegekeddwa. Mujje ku mbaga.’
5 “Naye ne batassaayo mwoyo, omu n’alaga mu nnimiro ye, omulala n’alaga mu bya busuubuzi bye. 6 Abalala ne babakwata ne bababonyaabonya ne babatta. 7 (D)Awo Kabaka n’asunguwala, n’ayungula ekibinja ky’abaserikale n’azikiriza abatemu abo, n’ayokya ekibuga kyabwe.
8 “Awo kabaka n’agamba abaddu be nti, ‘Ekijjulo ky’embaga kiteekeddwateekeddwa, naye abaayitibwa ne batasaanira. 9 (E)Noolwekyo mugende mu nguudo z’omu kibuga muyite abantu bonna be munaasangayo bajje ku mbaga.’ 10 (F)Abaddu bwe baagenda mu nguudo, ne bakuŋŋaanya buli gwe baasanga, ababi n’abalungi, ekisenge ky’embaga ne kijjula abagenyi.
11 “Kabaka bwe yayingira okulaba abaali batudde ku mmeeza, n’alaba omusajja eyali tayambadde kyambalo kya mbaga. 12 (G)Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, ‘Munnange, oyingidde otya wano nga toyambadde kyambalo kya mbaga?’ Omusajja nga talina ky’addamu.
13 (H)“Awo kabaka n’alagira basajja be nti, ‘Mumusibe emikono n’amagulu mumukasuke ebweru mu kizikiza ekikutte be zigizigi, eri okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.’
14 (I)“Abayitibwa bangi, naye abalondemu batono.”
Okuwa Kayisaali Omusolo
15 Awo Abafalisaayo ne bagenda ne bateesa engeri gye banaategamu Yesu bamukwase mu bigambo. 16 (J)Ne bamutumira abayigirizwa baabwe awamu n’Abakerodiyaani nga bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi ng’oli mulungi, era oyigiriza mazima awatali kutya muntu yenna, kubanga tososola mu bantu. 17 (K)Kale tutegeeze, olowooza ekituufu kye kiri wa? Kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba si kituufu?”[a]
18 Naye Yesu bwe yamanya obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’abagamba nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe, Lwaki mungezesa? 19 Kale, mundeetere wano ku nsimbi ze muweesa omusolo ndabe.” Ne bamuleetera eddinaali. 20 N’ababuuza nti, “Kino ekifaananyi n’obuwandiike ebiriko by’ani?”
21 (L)Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.” N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali, n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.”
22 (M)Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne beewuunya ne bamuleka ne bagenda.
Obufumbo mu Kuzuukira
23 (N)Ku lunaku olwo lwe lumu, Abasaddukaayo, abagamba nti, “Tewali kuzuukira,” ne bajja eri Yesu, ne bamubuuza nti, 24 (O)“Omuyigiriza Musa yagamba nti, ‘Singa omusajja afa nga tazadde mwana, muganda w’omufu awase nnamwandu oyo azaalire muganda we abaana.’ 25 Twalina abooluganda musanvu. Owooluganda ow’olubereberye n’awasa, kyokka n’afa nga tazadde mwana, bw’atyo mukazi we n’afumbirwa muganda we. 26 Ekintu kye kimu ne kituuka ku wookubiri ne ku wookusatu, okutuusa ku w’omusanvu. 27 Oluvannyuma n’omukazi oyo naye n’afa. 28 Kale okuzuukira nga kutuuse omukazi oyo aliba muka ani ku abo omusanvu? Kubanga bonna abooluganda omusanvu yabafumbirwako.”
29 (P)Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Olw’obutamanya byawandiikibwa n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda kyemuvudde mukyama. 30 (Q)Kubanga mu kuzuukira teriiyo kuwasa wadde okufumbirwa, naye abantu bonna baba nga bamalayika mu ggulu. 31 Naye ebikwata ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, temusomanga ku kigambo ekyayogerwa Katonda ng’agamba nti, 32 (R)‘Nze, ndi Katonda wa Ibulayimu era ndi Katonda wa Isaaka era ndi Katonda wa Yakobo?’ Noolwekyo Katonda si Katonda wa bafu wabula Katonda wa balamu.”
33 (S)Ebibiina ne biwuniikirira bwe baawulira okuyigiriza kwe.
Etteeka Erisinga Obukulu mu Mateeka
34 (T)Abafalisaayo bwe baawulira nga Yesu Abasaddukaayo abamazeeko eby’okwogera, ne bakuŋŋaana. 35 (U)Omu ku bo eyali munnamateeka n’amubuuza ekibuuzo ng’amugezesa nti, 36 “Omuyigiriza, tteeka ki erisinga obukulu mu mateeka.”
37 (V)Yesu n’addamu nti, “ ‘Yagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’obulamu bwo bwonna, n’amagezi go gonna.’ 38 Eryo ly’etteeka ery’olubereberye era lye Iisingira ddala obukulu. 39 (W)N’eryokubiri eririfaananako lye lino nti, ‘Yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga gwe bwe weeyagala wekka.’ 40 (X)Amateeka amalala gonna gasinziira mu mateeka ago gombi ne bya bannabbi.”
41 Awo mu kiseera ekyo Abafalisaayo nga bakuŋŋaanye, Yesu n’ababuuza nti, 42 (Y)“Kristo mumulowoozako mutya? Mwana waani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Mwana wa Dawudi.”
43 Yesu kyeyava ababuuza nti, “Dawudi ng’ajjudde Omwoyo bw’ayogera ku Kristo, lwaki ate amuyita ‘Mukama we’, ng’agamba nti,
44 (Z)“ ‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti:
“Tuulira wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo,
okutuusa lwe ndifufuggaza abalabe bo
ne mbassa wansi w’ebigere byo?” ’
45 Noolwekyo obanga Dawudi amuyita ‘Mukama we,’ kale, ate abeera atya omwana we?” 46 (AA)Ne wataba n’omu amuddamu, era okuva olwo ne watabaawo ayaŋŋanga kwongera kumubuuza bibuuzo birala.

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.

Parable of the wedding party
22 Jesus responded by speaking again in parables: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding party for his son. 3 He sent his servants to call those invited to the wedding party. But they didn’t want to come. 4 Again he sent other servants and said to them, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look, the meal is all prepared. I’ve butchered the oxen and the fattened cattle. Now everything’s ready. Come to the wedding party!”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went away—some to their fields, others to their businesses. 6 The rest of them grabbed his servants, abused them, and killed them.
7 “The king was angry. He sent his soldiers to destroy those murderers and set their city on fire. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding party is prepared, but those who were invited weren’t worthy. 9 Therefore, go to the roads on the edge of town and invite everyone you find to the wedding party.’
10 “Then those servants went to the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding party was full of guests. 11 Now when the king came in and saw the guests, he spotted a man who wasn’t wearing wedding clothes. 12 He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet and throw him out into the farthest darkness. People there will be weeping and grinding their teeth.’
14 “Many people are invited, but few people are chosen.”
Question about taxes
15 Then the Pharisees met together to find a way to trap Jesus in his words. 16 They sent their disciples, along with the supporters of Herod, to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are genuine and that you teach God’s way as it really is. We know that you are not swayed by people’s opinions, because you don’t show favoritism. 17 So tell us what you think: Does the Law allow people to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 Knowing their evil motives, Jesus replied, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used to pay the tax.” And they brought him a denarion. 20 “Whose image and inscription is this?” he asked.
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” 22 When they heard this they were astonished, and they departed.
Question about resurrection
23 That same day Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Jesus. 24 They asked, “Teacher, Moses said, If a man who doesn’t have children dies, his brother must marry his wife and produce children for his brother.[a] 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married, then died. Because he had no children he left his widow to his brother. 26 The same thing happened with the second brother and the third, and in fact with all seven brothers. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 At the resurrection, which of the seven brothers will be her husband? They were all married to her.”
29 Jesus responded, “You are wrong because you don’t know either the scriptures or God’s power. 30 At the resurrection people won’t marry nor will they be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like angels from God. 31 As for the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what God told you, 32 I’m the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?[b] He isn’t the God of the dead but of the living.” 33 Now when the crowd heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
Great commandment
34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had left the Sadducees speechless, they met together. 35 One of them, a legal expert, tested him. 36 “Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 He replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being,[c] and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.”
Question about David’s son
41 Now as the Pharisees were gathering, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?”
“David’s son,” they replied.
43 He said, “Then how is it that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, called him Lord when he said, 44 The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I turn your enemies into your footstool’?[e] 45 If David calls him Lord, how can he be David’s son?” 46 Nobody was able to answer him. And from that day forward nobody dared to ask him anything.
Matthew 22
King James Version
22 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and 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 multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
