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 the heavens is like unto a landlord man, 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 having agreed with the laborers for a denarion per day, 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 having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the forum:
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 ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they departed.
5 Te dongah te rhoek khaw cet uh. Te phoeiah khonoek parhuk neh pako tluk ah khaw cet tih koep a tlap bal.
Again having gone out about the sixth and ninth hours, he 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 having gone out, he found others standing; and says to them, Why stand ye here idle all the day?
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 to him, Because no one hired us. He says to 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 it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last even unto the first.
9 Khonoek hlaikhat tluk kah aka pawk rhoek khaw denarii pakhat rhip a dang uh.
And those having come about the eleventh hour, received each man a denarion.
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 the first having come supposed that they shall receive more; and themselves also received each one a denarion.
11 Te tla aka dang rhoek loh imkung taengah kohuet uh.
But receiving it, they murmured against the landlord,
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 labored one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who bore 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 responding said to one of them, Comrade, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a denarion?
14 Namah kah te lo lamtah cet laeh. Nang bangla lamhnuk te khaw paek ka ngaih.
Take thine own, and go. I wish to give unto this last one, 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 as I wish with mine own? 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 first last.
17 Jesuh loh hnukbang hlainit rhoek te hloep a khue tih Jerusalem la cet.
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples privately, on the way 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 go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and 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 they will deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and scourge, and crucify Him: and on the third day He will rise.
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 the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, worshiping and asking something from 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 to her, What do you wish? She says to Him, Tell me that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right, and one 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.
And Jesus responding said, You know not what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say 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 says to them, You shall indeed drink my cup, but to sit on my right, and on my left, this is not mine to give, but it belongs to those 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 the ten hearing were indignant concerning 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 calling them to Him, said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and the 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.
It shall not be so among you; but whosoever may wish to be great among you, shall be your servant;
27 Te phoeiah nangmih khuiah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah sal la om ni.
and whosoever may wish to be first among you, shall be your slave:
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.
as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many.
29 Amih te Jerikho lamloh a khong uh vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai.
And they going 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 wayside, hearing that Jesus is passing by, cried out, saying; Have mercy on us, O 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 keep silent. And they cried out the more, saying; Have mercy on us, O 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.
Jesus standing, called them, and said, What do you wish that I shall 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 immediately they looked up; and followed Him.
