Matteusarguðspjall 22:1-14
Icelandic Bible
22 Þá tók Jesús enn að tala við þá í dæmisögum og mælti:
2 "Líkt er um himnaríki og konung einn, sem gjörði brúðkaup sonar síns.
3 Hann sendi þjóna sína að kalla til brúðkaupsins þá, sem boðnir voru, en þeir vildu ekki koma.
4 Aftur sendi hann aðra þjóna og mælti: ,Segið þeim, sem boðnir voru: Veislu mína hef ég búið, uxum mínum og alifé er slátrað, og allt er tilbúið, komið í brúðkaupið.`
5 En þeir skeyttu því ekki. Einn fór á akur sinn, annar til kaupskapar síns,
6 en hinir tóku þjóna hans, misþyrmdu þeim og drápu.
7 Konungur reiddist, sendi út her sinn og lét tortíma morðingjum þessum og brenna borg þeirra.
8 Síðan segir hann við þjóna sína: ,Brúðkaupsveislan er tilbúin, en hinir boðnu voru ekki verðugir.
9 Farið því út á vegamót, og bjóðið í brúðkaupið hverjum þeim sem þér finnið.`
10 Þjónarnir fóru út á vegina og söfnuðu öllum, sem þeir fundu, vondum og góðum, svo að brúðkaupssalurinn varð alskipaður gestum.
11 Konungur gekk þá inn að sjá gestina og leit þar mann, sem var ekki búinn brúðkaupsklæðum.
12 Hann segir við hann: ,Vinur, hvernig ert þú hér kominn og ert ekki í brúðkaupsklæðum?` Maðurinn gat engu svarað.
13 Konungur sagði þá við þjóna sína: ,Bindið hann á höndum og fótum og varpið honum í ystu myrkur. Þar verður grátur og gnístran tanna.`
14 Því að margir eru kallaðir, en fáir útvaldir."

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(A)
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(B) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(C) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants(D) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(E) and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners(F) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(G) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(H)?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(I)
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(J)
