Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a house-ruler, who went out in the early morning at the same time to hire workmen for his vineyard.
“Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana hangu. Kuweriti na muntu yakalilawa mandawira putiputi kugenda kuwatula wantu watendi lihengu mulirambu lyakuwi lya mizyabibu.
2 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Kapataniti nawomberi shibenamgongu sha lishaka limu, na kawajega wantu wamu mulirambu lyakuwi lya mizyabibu.
3 And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others having stood idle in the marketplace.
Kalawa saa tatu mandawira kagenda pahala pa soku kawawona wantu wamonga wagoloka paliya wahera lihengu.
4 And he said to those men, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever would be right I will give you, and they went.
Su kawagambira, ‘Mwenga mgendi mwakatendi lihengu mulirambu lya mizyabibu, neni hanuwapanani shibenamgongu.’
5 Again having gone out about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise.
Su womberi wagenda. Mweni kana lirambu kawuka kayi saa sita na saa tisa palwala, katenditi ntambu iraa.
6 And having gone out about the eleventh hour, he found others who have stood idle. And he says to them, Why have ye stood here idle the whole day?
Payiweriti pakwegera na mshenji kuzyeta pakagenditi pahala pa soku, kawawoniti wantu wamonga wankali wankugoloka paliya. Yomberi kawakosiya, ‘Iwera hashi mgoloka panu paliwala poseri pota kutenda lihengu?’
7 They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever would be right ye will receive.
Womberi wamwankula, ‘Kwahera muntu yakatupa lihengu twenga.’ Na yomberi kawagambira, ‘Mwenga mgendi na kutenda lihengu mulirambu lyaneni lya mizyabibu.’
8 And having become evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his manager, Call the workmen, and render to them their wage, having begun from the last until the first.
“Mshenji paguzyetiti yakana lirambu kiziti na kamgambiriti mtula mpiya gwakuwi, ‘Guwashemi watenda lihengu na guwapanani vibenamgongu vyawu, gwanjiti kuwapanana yanuwajegiti muupeleru na gumaliri kwa kuwapanana walii yanuwajegiti kwanja.’
9 And those who came about the eleventh hour, each received a denarius.
Wantu yawanjiti kutenda lihengu mshenji kuzyeta, gumpanani kila muntu shibenamgongu sha lishaka limu.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more. And they also received a denarius each.
Su wantu waliya yawaweriti wakwanja kwiza kutenda lihengu wiziti kutola mpiya zyawu, womberi waliholiti kuwera hawapati mpiya nentu kuliku womberi, kumbiti wapatiti vibenamgongu vyawu kila muntu.
11 And when they received it, they murmured against the house-ruler,
Womberi watoliti mpiya zyawu na wanjiti kumuhinginiziya mtuwa yakawajegiti kutenda lihengu.
12 saying, These last did one hour, and thou have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.
Watakula, ‘Wantu awa yaguwajegiti kutenda lihengu muupeleru, watenda lihengu lisaa limu hera, twenga tutenda lihengu kwanjira mandawira mpaka mshenji kuzyeta, tuvumiliya mshenji gukalipa, su gwenga gutulipa twenga ntambu yaguwalipa womberi!’
13 But having answered, he said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong. Did thou not agree with me for a denarius?
“Mtuwa ulii kamwankula yumu gwawu, ‘Gupikaniri ganja, nukupunja ndiri shintu! Toziya gujimilirana na neni nukulipi shibenamgongu.
14 Take thine and go. But I want to give to this last man, as to thee also.
Vinu gutoli malipu gaku na gugendi ukaya. Nfira kumupa muntu ayu yanumjegiti muupeleru kutenda lihengu, shibenamgongu ntambu yanukupanana gwenga.
15 Is it not permitted for me to do what I want with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Hashi, neni nekeziwa ndiri kutenda ntambu yanfira kutendera mpiya zangu? Ama gumonera weya toziya neni ntanga wantu?’”
16 So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen.
Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Su wantu woseri yawawoneka wakuupeleru vinu, hawaweri wakwanja na wantu woseri yawawoneka wakwanja vinu, hawaweri wakuupeleru.”
17 And while going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the twelve disciples in private on the way, and he said to them,
Yesu pakaweriti kankugenda Yerusalemu, kawatoliti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili pambwega na kuwagambira gweka yawu pawaweriti wankugendagenda.
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scholars. And they will condemn him to death,
Kawagambira, “Mpikaniri, twankugenda Yerusalemu, aku Mwana gwa Muntu hawambati na kumjega kwa Watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru. Womberi hawamtozi kumlaga
19 and will deliver him to the Gentiles to ridicule, and to scourge, and to crucify. And the third day he will rise.
na hawawapanani wantu wa isi zimonga, womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamkomi na hawamlagi kwa kumkong'ondera mulupingika na lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshiping, and asking something from him.
Shakapanu mdala gwa Zebedayu kiziti kwa Yesu pamuhera na wana wakuwi wawili, kamsuntamalira na kumluwa shintu.
21 And he said to her, What do thou want? She says to him, Speak that these my two sons may sit, one at thy right hand and one at thy left hand in thy kingdom.
Yesu kamkosiya, “Gufira shishi?” Mawu uliya kamwankula, “Gunahidi neni kuwera wana waneni awa wawili hawalivagi yumu uwega waku wa kumliwu na yumonga uwega waku wa kumshigi, shipindi paguwera Mfalumi.”
22 But having answered, Jesus said, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am going to drink, or to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed? They say to him, We are able.
Yesu kawankula wana walii, “Muvimana ndiri shamluwa. Hashi, muweza kulandira lutekeru lwa ndabibiku lwanfira kulandira neni?” Womberi wamwankula, “Tuweza.”
23 And he says to them, Ye will indeed drink my cup, and ye will be immersed the immersion that I am immersed. But to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but to whom it has been prepared by my Father.
Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka hamlandiri lutekeru lwangu. Kumbiti neni hapeni ntakuli yoshi hakalivagi kumliwu ama kumshigi kwaneni. Shitwatira ashi ndo sha woseri yawatulilwa kala na Tati gwangu.”
24 And when the ten heard it, they were indignant about the two brothers.
Wafundwa wamonga walii pawapikaniriti aga, wawakalaliti walongu wawili walii.
25 But having summoned them, Jesus said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord over them, and their eminent men have power over them.
Su Yesu kawashema woseri pamuhera na kawagambira, “Muvimana kuwera wakolamlima wa isi zimonga wankuwakola wantu wawu kwa makakala na walongoziya wawu wanauwezu nentu.
26 But it shall not be so among you. Rather whoever wants to become great among you, he shall be your helper,
Kumbiti kwa mwenga naiwera gambira womberi pakati penu. Handa pakati penu kwana muntu yakafira kuwera mkulu, kaweri ntumintumi gwa wantu woseri.
27 and whoever wants be first among you shall be your bondman.
Handa pakati penu kwana muntu yakafira kuwera gwa kwanja, kaweri ntumintumi gwenu.
28 Just as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Na neni Mwana gwa Muntu niziti ndiri wantenderi, kumbiti niziti kutenda na kuwulaviya ukomu wangu, su nuwalopoziyi wantu wavuwa.”
29 And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi pakaweriti wankuwuka lushi lwa Yeriku, lipinga likulu lya wantu limfatiti.
30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Be merciful to us, Lord, thou son of David.
Su kuweriti na wanalwisi wawili walivaga pampeku pa njira, wapikiniriti kuwera Yesu kankupita peni paliya, su wanjiti kubotanga, “Mtuwa, Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, so that they would be quiet, but they cried out greater, saying, Be merciful to us, Lord, thou son of David.
Lipinga lya wantu liwakalipira na kuwagambira wanyamali. Kumbiti womberi wongera kubotanga, “Mtuwa, Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
32 And having stood still, Jesus called them and said, What do ye want that I would do to you?
Yesu kagoloka kawashema womberi. Su kawakosiya, “Mfira nuwatenderi shishi?”
33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Womberi wamwankula, “Mtuwa, tuluwa kuwona!”
34 And having felt compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and straightaway they received their sight, and followed him.
Su Yesu kawawonera lusungu, kawashinkula masu gawu, na palaa paliya waweziti kuwona na wamfatiti.
