22:1 耶稣又用比喻对他们说，
And Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
22:2 诸天的国好比一个作王的人，为他儿子摆设婚筵。
The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son.
22:3 他打发奴仆去召那些被召的人来赴婚筵，他们却不肯来。
And he sent his slaves to call those who had been called to the wedding feast, yet they would not come.
22:4 他又打发别的奴仆去，说，你们要告诉那些被召的：看哪，我的筵席已经预备好了，公牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备，请来赴婚筵。
Again, he sent other slaves, saying, Tell those who have been called, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatted cattle have been slain, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast.
22:5 但那些人不理就走了；一个到田里去，一个作买卖去，
But they disregarded it and went off, one to his own field and another to his business,
22:6 其余的抓住他的奴仆，凌辱他们，把他们杀了。
And the rest took hold of his slaves, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
22:7 王就动怒，发兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁他们的城。
And the king became angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
22:8 然后对奴仆说，婚筵已经齐备，只是所召的人不配。
Then he said to his slaves, The wedding feast is ready, but those who have been called were not worthy.
22:9 所以你们要往岔路口去，凡遇见的，都召来赴婚筵。
Go therefore to the crossroads, and as many as you find, call to the wedding feast.
22:10 那些奴仆就出去，到大路上，凡遇见的，不论善恶都聚集了来，婚筵上就满了坐席的。
And those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding feast was filled with those reclining at table.
22:11 王进来观看坐席的，见那里有一个没有穿婚筵礼服的，
But when the king came in to look at those reclining at table, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment,
22:12 就对他说，朋友，你没有穿婚筵的礼服，是怎么进到这里来的？那人无言可答。
And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
22:13 于是王对仆役说，把他的手脚捆起来，扔在外面黑暗里，在那里必要哀哭切齿了。
Then the king said to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and cast him out into the outer darkness. In that place there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
22:14 因为被召的多，选上的少。
For many are called but few are chosen.
