sent_out the slaves ˱of˲_him /to/_call the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited to the wedding_festivities
Here Jesus implies that the king had already sent out invitations and was now sending his servants to let people know that it was time to come to the feast. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he invited many guests to the wedding feast. When it was time, he sent out his servants to call the ones having been invited”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους
/to/_call the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited to the wedding_festivities
Here, the phrase to the wedding feast could go with: (1) the phrase had been invited. Alternate translation: “to call the the ones having been invited to be guests at the wedding feast” (2) the phrase to call. Alternate translation: “to call to go to the wedding feast the ones having been invited”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τοὺς κεκλημένους
the the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was king himself. Alternate translation: “the ones that the king had invited”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

and
Here, the word and introduces what actually happened in contrast to what the king wanted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: “but”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθεῖν
/to/_come
In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “to go”
22:1-14 In this parable, Israel, having repeatedly rejected God’s word in the past, rejects the Messiah and is judged as a result. In Israel’s place, God raised up the church (16:17-19; 21:43), of which righteousness is also expected (Rom 11:11-24).
