Matthai 20
1 Vaan ram tah imkung hlang pakhat phek la om. Anih tah a misurdum kah bibikung coep ham yue cet.
For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Te vaengah bibikung rhoek neh hnin at ham denarii pakhat neh a kotluep tih amih te a misurdum la a tueih.
And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Khonoek pathum tlukah a caeh hatah hnoyoih hmuen ah pai uh tih aka palyal rhoek te a hmuh.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle;
4 Te dongah te rhoek te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh lamtah a dueng la aka om te tah nangmih te kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
and he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.
5 Te dongah te rhoek khaw cet uh. Te phoeiah khonoek parhuk neh pako tluk ah khaw cet tih koep a tlap bal.
And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
6 Hlaikhat tluk kah a caeh vaengah a tloe rhoek sut aka pai rhoek te a hmuh. Te dongah amih te, “Balae tih sut na pai uh tih khohnin yung ah na palyal uh he?” a ti nah.
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?
7 Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih he n'coep uh moenih,” a ti nahuh. Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh saw,” a ti nah.
They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.
8 Hlaem ben a pha vaengah misurdum boei loh a dumtawt taengah, “Bibikung rhoek te khue lamtah lamhnuk rhoek lamkah tong lamtah lamhma duela amih te thapang thuung laeh,” a ti nah.
When the evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and, beginning with the last, pay them their hire even to the first.
9 Khonoek hlaikhat tluk kah aka pawk rhoek khaw denarii pakhat rhip a dang uh.
And when those came who had been hired about the eleventh hour, they received each one a denarius.
10 Lamhma la aka pawk rhoek loh muep a dang uh ni tila a poek uh. Tedae amih khaw denari pakhat ni rhip a dang uh.
But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius.
11 Te tla aka dang rhoek loh imkung taengah kohuet uh.
And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Te dongah “He rhoek a lamhnuk rhoek tah khonoek pakhat ni a bi uh dae, hnin at puet kholing hnorhih aka ueh kaimih neh amih te vanat la na khueh,” a ti na uh.
saying: These last have worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the heat.
13 Tedae amih te pakhat la a doo tih, 'Pueivan aw nang kan thae nah moenih, kai neh denarii pakhat ham kotluep a om moenih a?
But he answered and said to one of them: Friend, I do you no injustice; did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Namah kah te lo lamtah cet laeh. Nang bangla lamhnuk te khaw paek ka ngaih.
Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you.
15 Kamah koe nen te ka ngaih bangla ka saii tueng moenih a? Kai a then la ka om te nang kah mik loh a lolh la a om sak a? 'a ti nah.
Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good?
16 Te dongah lamhnuk te lamhma vetih lamhma te lamhnuk la om ni,” a ti nah.
So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.
17 Jesuh loh hnukbang hlainit rhoek te hloep a khue tih Jerusalem la cet.
And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them:
18 A longpueng uh vaengah amih te, “Jerusalem la cet uh pawn sih. Hlang capa tah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek taengla a voeih uh vetih anih te dueknah neh a boe sak uh ni he.
Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
19 Te phoeiah tamdaeng ham neh boh tih tai hamla namtom rhoek taengah a voeih uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
and will deliver him to the Gentiles to deride, and to scourge, and to crucify: and on the third day he shall rise again.
20 Te vaengah Zebedee ca rhoek kah a manu loh a ca rhoek te Jesuh a paan puei tih a bawk. Tedae a taengkah hno pakhat a bih.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him.
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae na ngaih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca rhoi he na ram ah tah na bantang ah pakhat na banvoei ah pakhat ngol rhoi saeh ti mai laeh,” a ti nah.
He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Mebang na bih uh khaw na ming uh moenih. Kai loh ka ok ham ka cai thil boengloeng te ok hamla na coeng uh thai aya? a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Coeng thai ngawn,” a ti na uh.
But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.
23 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai kah boengloeng he na ok uh ngawn ni. Tedae kai kah bantang neh banvoei ah ngol ham tah kai hut la om pawh. Tedae a pa loh a hmoel rhoek ni tekah te a paek eh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them: You shall drink my cup, and be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
24 Parha rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah te rhoi boeina kawng te a yakdam uh.
And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers.
25 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a khue tih, “Namtom rhoek kah boei rhoek tah amamih vueinan uh tih a len rhoek loh amamih a huttet uh thae te na ming.
But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them.
26 Nangmih khuiah tetlam te om uh boeh. Tedae, Nangmih khuiah a len la om aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah tueihyoeih la om ni.
It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.
27 Te phoeiah nangmih khuiah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah sal la om ni.
And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant;
28 Hlang Capa tah hlang thohtat sak ham pawt tih thohtat pah ham neh a hinglu te ping kah tlansum la paek ham ni halo,” a ti nah.
even as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Amih te Jerikho lamloh a khong uh vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai.
And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Te vaengah mikdael panit long taengah ngol rhoi. Jesuh kah a khum te a yaak rhoi vaengah pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa, kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
And behold, two blind men, sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
31 Tedae hlangping loh amih rhoi te a ho tih a paa sak. Te vaengah te rhoi te taoe pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
And the multitude charged them to be silent. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
32 Te vaengah Jesuh tah pai tih amih rhoi te a khue. Te phoeiah, “Nangmih rhoi ham balae saii sak na ngaih rhoi,” a ti nah.
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?
33 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kaimih rhoi mik tah tueng lah saeh,” a ti rhoi.
They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Jesuh tah a thinphat tih amih rhoi mik te a taek pah. Te vaengah tlek a hmuh rhoi tih Jesuh hnuk a vai rhoi.
Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.
