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 unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into 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 shilling 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 marketplace 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 to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Te dongah te rhoek khaw cet uh. Te phoeiah khonoek parhuk neh pako tluk ah khaw cet tih koep a tlap bal.
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
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; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye 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 say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
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.
And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 Khonoek hlaikhat tluk kah aka pawk rhoek khaw denarii pakhat rhip a dang uh.
And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.
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.
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling.
11 Te tla aka dang rhoek loh imkung taengah kohuet uh.
And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
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 spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching 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 thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?
14 Namah kah te lo lamtah cet laeh. Nang bangla lamhnuk te khaw paek ka ngaih.
Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
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 lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, 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.
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 apart, and on the way he said unto 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 go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall 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 shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
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, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing 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.
And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, 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, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto 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.
He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.
24 Parha rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah te rhoi boeina kawng te a yakdam uh.
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
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 unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise 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.
Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
27 Te phoeiah nangmih khuiah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah sal la om ni.
and whosoever would be first among you shall 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 unto, 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 way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou 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 rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou 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 will ye that I should do unto you?
33 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kaimih rhoi mik tah tueng lah saeh,” a ti rhoi.
They say unto 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.
And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
