Matayo 20
1 “Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwaali ni ngunda wa sabibu, juŵatyosile kundaŵi pe kukwaŵika ŵandu ŵakulima mu ngunda wao.
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 Paŵamasile kulangana ni ŵakulima kuti chachalipa chipande chimo cha madini ga feza malinga ni malipilo ga lyuŵa limo, ŵapeleche ku ngunda wa sabibu.
And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ŵatyosile saa tatu kundaŵi, ŵaweni ŵane ŵangali ni masengo ali ajimi pakusumichisya malonda.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the market, idle;
4 Ŵaasalile, ‘Njende ni ŵanyamwe ku ngunda wa sabibu, none chinanlipe.’
and he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.
5 Nipele, ŵapite. Asyene ngunda ŵala ŵatyosile sooni saa sita ni saa tisa, ŵatesile iyoyo.
And they went. Again he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
6 Pajaŵandichile saa kumi na moja, ŵatyosile sooni, ŵasimene ŵandu ŵane ali ajimi papopo pakusumisya malonda. Nipele ŵausisye, ‘Kwachichi nkwima apano muusi wose u pangali masengo?’
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 Ŵajanjile, ‘Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwatupele masengo.’ Nombejo ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule ni ŵanyamwe nkapanganye masengo ku ngunda wa sabibu.’
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 “Pakwaswele, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula ŵansalile jwakulolela masengo gao kuti, ‘Nkaaŵilanje ŵamasengo mwape malipilo gao, kutandila ŵa kumbesi mpaka ŵa kundanda.’
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 Nipele, ŵaiche ŵele ŵaŵapegwilwe masengo katema ka saa kumi na moja, jwalijose ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza.
And when those came who had been hired about the eleventh hour, they received each one a denarius.
10 Ni ŵandanda ŵala paŵaiche ŵaganichisye kuti chapochele yakupunda, nambo nombe ŵanyawo ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza yalumo ni achinjao.
But when those came who had been hired first, they thought that they would receive more; and they received each one a denarius.
11 Paŵapochele mbiya syao, ŵatandite kwasongonechela asyene ngunda ŵala.
And when they received it, they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Ŵatite, ‘Aŵaŵa ŵaŵapele masengo kumbesi apangenye masengo kwa katema ka lisaa limo pe, kwachichi ntulipile yalumo ni ŵanyaŵa akuno uweji tupililile masengo gakulimba muusi wose ni lyuŵa lili nkuŵala?’
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 “Pelepo nsyene ngunda jula ŵanjanjile jumo jwao kuti, ‘Ambusanga, ngangummonela! Ana nganitulangana none kwa malipilo ga chipande chimo cha madini ga feza?
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 Njigale chichili chenu, njaule kumangwenu. Ngunonyelwa kumpa aju junampele masengo kumbesi yalumo ni mmwe.
Take what is yours, and go; I will give to this last even as to you.
15 Uli, ngangusachilwa kutenda indu ingunonyelwa nkati yose ingwete? Ana nkukola wiwu pakuŵa une ndili jwambone?’”
Is it not allowed me to do what I will with my own? Or, is your eye envious, because I am good?
16 Nipele Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kwa kusala, “Iyoyo ŵaali ŵambesi chachiŵa ŵandanda ni ŵaali ŵandanda chachiŵa ŵambesi.”
So the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.
17 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkukwela kwaula ku Yelusalemu, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, paŵaliji nkwenda mwitala, peuto pangali ŵandu ŵane, ŵaasalile,
And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside on his journey, and said to them:
18 “Nnole! Tukwaula ku Yelusalemu, ni kwele Mwana jwa Mundu chakatajikwe mmakono mwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, nombewo chalamulikwe aulajikwe.
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 Chakampeleche kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi apate kuntendela chanache ni kumputa mbokola ni kwaŵamba pa nsalaba ni pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chachisyuka.”
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 Nipele achikulu ŵa ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo ŵaichile Che Yesu, pamo ni achiŵanagwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kwaŵenda chindu.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him.
21 Che Yesu ŵammusisye, “Chichi nkusaka?” Ŵatite, “Choonde nlanje kuti mu umwenye wenu, achiŵanangu ŵaŵili ŵa chatame, jumo kundyo kwenu ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
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 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chiching'wele une?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.”
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene chinng'welele chikombe changu cha masauko, nambo kutama kundyo ni kunchiji kwangu nganigaŵa masengo gangu nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵakolochesye.”
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 Nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵane likumi ŵala paŵapilikene gele, ŵatumbilile ŵaŵili wo.
And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers.
25 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ni kwasalila, “Nkumanyilila kuti mamwenye ŵa ilambo akwalongosya ŵandu ŵao kwa machili, ni achakulu ŵao akwatenda ali ŵandu ŵao.
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 Nambo inaŵe yele kukwenu, nambo jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwamkulungwa kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe katumetume jwa wose.
It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.
27 Ni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwaandanda kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe jwakutumichila jwenu.
And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant;
28 Iyoyopeyo, Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kuti atumichilwe nambo kuti atumichile, ni kuutyosya umi wakwe kuti gaŵe malipilo kwa ligongo lya chiwombolo cha ŵandu ŵajinji.”
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 Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji nkutyoka ku Yeliko, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji nkwakuya.
And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Nipele, ŵapali ŵangalola ŵaŵili uŵatemi mungulugulu litala, nombewo paŵapikene kuti Che Yesu ŵaliji nkupita pelepo, ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
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 Mpingo wa ŵandu wakalipile ni kwasalila amyalale. Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya, achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
And the multitude charged them to be silent. But they cried the more, saying: Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
32 Che Yesu ŵajimi, ŵaaŵilasile ni kwausya, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?”
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said: What do you wish me to do for you?
33 Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tukummenda gaunukuche meeso getu.”
They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵakolele chanasa, ŵakwaiye meeso gao ni papopo ŵakombwele kulola, ni ŵankuiye.
Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.
