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.
“Paske wayòm syèl la tankou yon mèt tè ki ale deyò granmaten pou anplwaye ouvriye pou chan rezen li.
2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Lè li te fin antann li avèk ouvriye yo pou yon denye (frè kòb jounalye) pou jou a, li voye yo nan chan an.
3 About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
“Vè twazyèm lè, li te soti pou wè lòt moun san anyen pou fè, ki te kanpe nan mache a.
4 ‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
Li te di yo: ‘Nou menm tou, ale nan chan rezen an, epi nenpòt bagay ki jis, m ap bannou.’ Konsa, yo ale.
5 So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
“Ankò li ale deyò vè sizyèm lè, nevyèm lè, e te fè menm bagay la.
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.
“Vè onzyèm lè, li te ale deyò e te twouve lòt moun ki tap kanpe. Li te di yo: ‘Poukisa nou kanpe la tout lajounen san fè anyen?’
7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
“Yo te reponn li: ‘Paske pèsòn pa anplwaye nou.’ “Li te di yo: ‘Nou menm tou, ale nan chan rezen an.’
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.’
“Lè aswè rive, mèt chan rezen an te di fòmann nan: ‘Rele ouvriye yo pou peye yo salè yo. Kòmanse avèk dènye ekip la, pou ale nan premye a.’
9 The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
“Lè ouvriye ki te antre vè onzyèm lè yo te vini, yo chak te resevwa yon denye.
10 So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
Konsa, lè sa ki te anplwaye anpremye yo te vini, yo te sipoze yo t ap resevwa plis, men yo chak te resevwa yon denye.
11 On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
Alò, lè yo te resevwa l, yo te plenyen kont mèt tè a.
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.’
Yo te di: ‘Moun sa yo te travay sèlman pou yon èdtan, men ou fè yo menm jan avèk nou ki pote tout fado a, avèk chalè ki t ap brile nou tout jounen an.’
13 But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
“Men li te reponn a youn nan yo: ‘Zanmi m, mwen pa fè ou okenn tò. Èske ou pa t vin dakò pou yon denye?
14 Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
Pran sa ki pou ou a, epi al fè wout ou. Se volonte m pou bay moun sa menm fòs avèk ou.
15 Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
Èske m pa gen dwa fè sa mwen vle avèk sa ki pou mwen? Oubyen èske zye ou plen ak lanvi paske mwen gen jenewozite?’
16 So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
“Konsa dènye a ap vin premye, e premye a ap vin dènye.”
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
Lè Jésus te apèn parèt pou monte a Jérusalem, Li te pran douz disip yo akote pou kont yo. Pandan yo nan wout la, Li te di yo:
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
“Gade, n ap monte Jérusalem, epi Fis a Lòm nan ap livre a chèf prèt yo ak Skrib yo, e y ap kondane Li a lanmò.
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.”
Konsa, y ap livre Li a payen yo pou yo ka moke L e bay Li kout fwèt, e y ap krisifye Li. Epi nan twazyèm jou a, L ap leve.”
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him.
Manman a fis Zébédée yo te vin kote L avèk fis li yo. Li te bese devan L pou mande L yon favè.
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.”
Li te di L: “Kisa ou vle?” Li te di L: “Pase lòd pou nan Wayòm ou an, de fis mwen yo kapab chita youn sou bò dwat Ou ak youn sou bò goch Ou.”
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.
Men Jésus te reponn: “Nou pa konnen kisa n ap mande a. Èske nou kapab bwè tas ke Mwen prè pou M bwè a?” Yo te di Li: “Nou kapab”.
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.”
Li te di yo: “Tas Mwen an nou ap bwè, men pou chita adwat Mwen, oubyen agoch Mwen, se pa Mwen ki pou bay li, men se pou sila papa M te prepare li yo.”
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Konsa, lè dis yo te tande sa, yo te vin trè fache avèk de frè yo.
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.
Men Jésus te rele yo a Li menm e te di yo: “Ou konnen ke chèf payen yo pran pozisyon yo kon gwo chèf sou yo, epi moun enpòtan pa yo egzèse gwo otorite sou yo.
26 It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
“Li pa konsa pami nou, men sila ki ta vle gran pami nou an, ap vin sèvitè nou.
27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—
Epi sila a ki vle premye pami nou an, va vin esklav nou.
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.”
Menm jan ke Fis a Lòm nan pa t vini pou fè lòt sèvi Li, men pou sèvi lòt yo, e pou bay vi li pou ranson vi a anpil lòt moun.”
29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
Pandan yo t ap kite Jéricho, yon gran foul te swiv Li.
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!”
Epi konsa de moun avèg ki te chita akote wout la, lè yo te tande ke Jésus t ap pase la, te kòmanse kriye: “Senyè, gen pitye pou nou, Fis a David la!”
31 The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Men moun yo te pale ak yo sevèman pou yo sispann pale, men yo rele pi fò: “Senyè, gen pitye pou nou, Fis a David la”.
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.
Epi Jésus te rete la. Li te rele yo, e te di: “Kisa nou ta renmen Mwen fè pou nou?”
33 “Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”
Yo te reponn Li: “Senyè, nou vle zye nou louvri”.
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
Jésus, ranpli avèk konpasyon, te touche zye yo. Imedyatman yo te vin wè, e yo te swiv Li.
