Matthew 20
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
Bangnuenae lah, kalvan uknaeram teh misur takha dawk thaw tawk hanelah, amom vah ka tâcawt ni teh thawkatawkung ka tawng e imkung hoi a kâvan.
2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Katawknaw hoi haiyah lawk a kâcat awh teh, hnin touh e tawk e hah tangka phek touh poe hanlah misur takha koe a patoun.
3 About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
Amom suimilam tako nah bout a tâco teh, alouke taminaw ni hno yonae koe thaw tawk laipalah sut a kangdue awh e hah a hmu dawkvah,
4 ‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
nangmouh hai misur takha koe cet awh, kâki lah na poe awh han atipouh. Ahnimouh ni a cei awh.
5 So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
Hahoi, suimilam hlaikahni hoi tangmin suimilam kathum nah haiyah, a tâco teh ahmaloe e patetlah bout a coun.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
Tangminlah suimilam panga na haiyah bout a tâco boteh, alouke taminaw sut a kangdue awh e hah a hmu navah, thaw tawk laipalah hete hmuen koe bangkongmaw sut na kangdue awh, atipouh navah;
7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
Ahnimouh ni apinihai na coun awh hoeh atipouh awh toteh, nangmouh hai kaie misur takha koe cet awh. Kâki lah na poe awh han atipouh.
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
Tangmin a pha toteh misur takha katawnkung ni amae tangka ka kuenkung hah a kaw teh, thaw katawknaw heh koung pâkhueng nateh a hnukteng ka tawk e koehoi ahmaloe ka tawk e totouh kutphu poe leih atipouh.
9 The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
Hatdawkvah tangminlah suimilam panganae koehoi katawknaw ni tangka phek touh a dâw awh.
10 So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
Ahmaloe katawknaw ni teh kapap hmu han doeh telah pouknae hoi a tho awh eiteh, tangka phek touh a dâw awh.
11 On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
Hottelah be a dâw a hnukkhu imkung koe a phuenang awh.
12 ‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
A hnukkhu e ka kâennaw teh suimilam buet touh dueng a tawk awh ei, kanî rui rui khumbei khang laihoi ka tawk e kaimouh hoi reikâvan lah na poe atipouh awh.
13 But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
Imkung ni hai ka hui, nang dawk kamsoumhoehe hno ka sak hoeh. Tangka phek touh hoi nouh kai hoi lawk kâdaw roi ei, nama e hno hah lat nateh cet leih.
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
A hnukkhu kâen e naw hai nang hoi reikâvan lah poe hanlah ka ngainae ao.
15 Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
Kai ni kama e hno hah ka sak ngai e patetlah ka sak mahoeh na maw. Kai kahawi e heh nang ni na ut maw atipouh.
16 So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Hot patetlah hnukteng e ni hma ahman han. Hma kahman e ni hnuk a teng han. A kaw e tami apap ei nakunghai a rawi e tami ayoun atipouh.
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
Jisuh ni Jerusalem lah a cei nah lam vah, a hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh hah soumatinae koe a kaw teh,
18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death
maimouh teh atuvah Jerusalem kho lah cei awh. Tami Capa teh vaihma bawinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw e kut dawk na poe awh han. Ahnimouh ni a due hanlah ao telah yon na pen awh han.
19 and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”
Tami Capa hah panuikhainae, hemnae, thingpalam dawk het sak hanlah Jentelnaw kut dawk a poe awh han. Apâthum hnin vah bout ka thaw han atipouh.
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him.
Hatnavah Zebedee e a canaw e a manu ni a capanaw hoi Bawipa koe a hnai awh teh, a bawk awh hnukkhu hno hah a hei awh. Bawipa ni bangpatet e hno maw na ngai telah a pacei.
21 “What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”
Ahni nihaiyah hete ka capa roi hah na ram thungvah aranglah buet touh avoilah buet touh tahung thainae kâ poe haw atipouh.
22 “You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.
Jisuh ni a canaw koe, na hei e hah na panuek awh hoeh atipouh. Ka nei han kawi manang na nei thai han maw. Ka khang hane Baptisma hah na khang thai awh han maw telah a pacei navah, kaimouh roi ni ka sak thai roi han atipouh roi dawkvah,
23 “You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”
Kaie manang teh na nei thai yawkaw han. Ka khang hane Baptisma haiyah na khang thai yawkaw awh han. Hatei, kaie avoilah aranglah tahung thainae kâ teh Pa ni a rakueng pouh tangcoung e naw koe dueng doeh poe lah awm ti atipouh.
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Alouke a hnukkâbang hra touh ni a thai awh toteh hote hmaunawngha roi koe a lungkhuek awh.
25 But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
Jisuh ni a kaw awh teh na panue awh e patetlah Jentel bawinaw teh kâtawnnae a tawn awh.
26 It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
Sak thainae kalen ka tawn e lah ao awh.
27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—
Nangmouh teh hottelah sak awh hanh. Tami Capa teh amae thaw hah ayâ patoun hanlah tho hoeh.
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Ayâ e thaw tawk hanlah, tami kapap ratang hanlah a hringnae poe hanlah a tho dawkvah, hot patetlah nangmouh thung dawk kalen lah o ka ngai e teh nangmae thaw katawkkung lah awm naseh. Nangmouh thung dawk a lû lah tawk han ka ngai e teh nangmae san lah awm naseh atipouh.
29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
Jeriko kho hoi a tâco awh navah tami moikapap ni a hnuk a kâbang awh.
30 And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Lam teng sut ka tahung e mitdawn kahni touh roi ni Jisuh a tho tie a thai roi nah, Devit Capa Jisuh, kaimouh roi hah na pahren ei telah a hram roi.
31 The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Taminaw ni duem ao roi nahanlah kâhruetcuetnae a poe awh eiteh, Devit Capa Bawipa kaimouh roi hah na pahren ei telah hoehoe a hram roi.
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.
Jisuh ni a kangdue teh ahnimouh roi hah a kaw. Bangmaw sak sak hane na ngai roi atipouh.
33 “Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”
Bawipa, kaimouh roi e ka mit hah ang sak haw atipouh roi.
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
Jisuh ni ahnimouh roi hah a pahren dawkvah ahnimouh roi e mit hah a kut hoi a tek pouh. Hat nah tahma vah a mit hmawi a ang roi dawkvah a hnuk a kâbang roi.
