Matthew 20
1 “Ajeh chu Van Lenggam chu louneipa jingkah matah a, lengpi leiya natong ding tha hola gapotdoh tobang ahi.
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out at dawn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
2 Aman niseh'a thaman jat apeh ding in akinop touvin, chuin natong ding in amaho chu asoldoh tai.”
"And when he had agreed with the workmen for two shillings a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Jingkah nidan ko in kailhang ahopan ahileh, imacha bol louva moh'um mi phabep chu amun.
"About nine o’clock he went out and noticed some other workmen standing idle in the market-place;
4 Hiti chun aman amaho chu agoiyin, nisa lhum teng keiman phante kati kham na penau vinge, ati.
"and he said to them, "‘Do you also go into the vineyard, and whatever is just I will pay you.’
5 Chuin amaho natong ding in lengpi leiya ache tauve.”
"So they went. Again at noon, and about three o’clock, he went out and did the same thing.
6 “Ni lhangkai pung nga a ama khopi sunga aga umkit pet in, aman midang phabep amoh'um amun ahi. Aman, ‘Ipi dinga tunia natong lou nahi uvem?’” tin adonge.
"When he went out about five o’clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, "‘Why have you been standing here idle, all the day long?’
7 “Amahon, ‘koima eigoiyuva aum loujeh ahi’ atiuve. Lou neipa chun aseipeh un, chuti ahile che-un chule ka lengpi leiya natongho lah'a ga jaovun ati.”
"‘Because no one has hired us,’ they replied. "He said to them, ‘Do you also go into the vineyard.’
8 “Chuche nilhah chun aman natong ho lamkaipa chu aseipeh in, natong jouse kou lut in chule natong nunung pena atoh manu pe pan in,” ati.
"And when evening came, the Lord of the vineyard said to his steward, "‘Call the workmen and pay them their wages, beginning with the last hired and ending with the first.’
9 Pung nga a kigoi ho chu sum apeh phat in, achang cheh un nikho thaman akimu cheh tauve.
"When those came who had begun at five o’clock, they received two shillings apiece;
10 Akigoi masa ho chu asumu ladinga ahung phat'un, amaho chun tam mu cheh ding akinem uve. Hinlah amaho jong chu nikho thaman to kitoh aki peuvin ahi.
"and when the first came they supposed that they would get more, but they also received each two shillings.
11 Amahon atohman akimu phat'un, amaho alou neipa chunga alungnom tapouve.
"And as they took it they began to grumble against the master of the house.
12 Khuchehon pung khat bou natong uva, keiho nilhum keiya nisa ahah laise thoh lhum keiho toh kibang'in amaho na peuve atiuvin ahi.
"‘Those last men,’ they said, ‘have toiled only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the burning heat of the day.’
13 “Aman amaho khat chu adonbut in, ‘Gol, keiman adihlou kabolpoi! Nangma nilhum keiya nikhotha man lo dinga nanop hilou ham?’”
"In reply he said to one of them. ‘My friend, I am doing no wrong. Did you not agree with me for two shillings?
14 Nasum kilah in chule chen, hiche natong nunung pen hi nanga tobang in kape nom e, ati.
"Take your wage and begone! I chose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Kasum chu kadeina banga kaman ding chu dantoh akikalna ipi uma ham? Keiman midang kakhoto jeh'a nei mit thipna ding ipi umem?
"Have I not the right to do what I choose with my own property? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
16 “Hiti chu ahin, tua anunung peh ho chu chuphat teng amasapen hi dingu, chule amasa ho anunung hung hi ding ahiuve,” ati.
"So the last shall be first, and the first, last."
17 Yeshua chu Jerusalem lama achetou in ahileh, aman seijui som le ni ho chu guhthim in achoma akou doh in chule achunga ipi hung soh ding thu aseipeh tai.
When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.
18 Aman aseiyin, “Ngaiyun, eiho Jerusalem jon'in ichetou uve, chule thempu pipui hole houdan thuhil ho khut'a Mihem Chapa hi kipedoh ding ahi. Amahon thadinga apehdoh diu ahi.
"Look! We are on the way up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death,
19 Amahon Rome sepai ho khut'a apehdoh diu, sakol jepna a avoh diu chule thingpel a akhetbeh diu ahi. Hinlah ni thum nileh thinaa kona thoudoh kit ding ahi,” ati.
"and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will rise from the grave."
20 Chua pat chun James le John Zebedee chapa teni Nu chu Yeshua koma achate nito ahung'un ahi. Aman jana neitah in adilsun lungsetna angeh e.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, kneeling down and begging a favor of him.
21 Aman adong in, “Ipi nathum nom ham?” ati. Amanun adonbut in, “Na Lenggama kachapa teni hi jabolna mun'a: khat najet lama chule khat navei lama koi gel in,” ahung tin ahi.
"What is it you wish?" he said. She answered, "Command that these my two sons may sit upon your right hand and your left in your kingdom."
22 Hinlah Yeshuan adonbut in ajah uva, “Ipi nathumu nanghon na kihet pouve! Keiman gimhesoh kathohna ding khon kadon ding chu nadon ngam hinam?” ati. Aman in, Henge, kangam lhon'e tin adonbut lhontai.
23 Yeshuan ajah lhonna, “Nangnin tahbeh mongin kagimna khon hi nahin don lhon ding ahiye. Hinlah keiman koi kajet'a ahilouleh kaveiya toudi ham? Ti thuneina kaneipoi. Ka Pan alhendoh a agonpeh ho ding mun ahiye, tin aseipeh tai” ati.
"None of you indeed shall drink," he answered, "but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24 James le John in ipi athum lhon ahi seijui adang som ho chun ajah doh phat'un alung gil uva nomo asalheh tauve.
When the ten heard of this, they were indignant at the two brothers;
25 Hinlah Yeshuan amaho chu akou khomin, chuin ajah uva, “Nanghon vannoi vaipipo hon midang chunga ki piput sahna aneijiu naheuve chule lamkai lenho chun anoiyuva ho chunga thuneina aneiyu naheuve.
but Jesus called them to him and said. "You know how the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
26 Hinlah nangho lah'a chutilou ding ahi. Nangho lah'a alamkai pipu hinoma chu nasoh uva pang ding ahi.
"Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you wishes to become great, shall be your minister,
27 Chule nalah uva amasa hinoma chu nasoh'u ahung hi angaiye.
"and whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be your slave;
28 Ajeh chu Mihem Chapa jeng jong chu jenle dinga hilouva, ajen ding le mitamtah hinna dinga ahinna pedinga hunga ahi,” ati.
"just as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 Chuin Yeshua le aseijuihon Jericho khopi chu adalhah nung uvin, mihon tamtah'in anung ahinjui uve.
Now as they were leaving Jericho a great crowd followed him.
30 Mitcho mini chu lampi pama atou lhon'e. Amanin Yeshua chun hilampi chu ahinho ding ahi ti ajahlhon phat in, amanin hasap in asam lhon in, Pakai David Chapa, neikhoto lhon in! atilhon tai.
And two blind men, sitting by the side of the road, heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried out, "Have pity on us, Master, Son of David!"
31 Mihonpi chun aphoh uvin, “Thip lhon in atiuvin.” Hinlah amanin aha-sapcheh lhon in, “Pakai, David Chapa, neikhoto lhon in,” atilhone.
But the crowd checked them, to make them keep still. They cried out all the louder, saying, "Master, have pity on us, Son of David!"
32 Yeshuan a-aw lhon ajah phat in, ading'in chule akouvin, “Ipi kabolpeh lhon ding nei deisah lhon'em?” atitai.
Then Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
33 Amani chun, Pakai kho kamu nom lhon'e, ati lhon'e.
"Master," they answered, "let our eyes be opened."
34 Yeshuan amani chu akhohsah jal'in, amit lhon athampeh tai. Hipettah chun kho amuthei lhontai! Chujouvin amanin ajuipai lhontai.
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and they saw at once, and followed him.
