Matthew 20

1 For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.

Igbu chu u shulu ahe too ndji wa ahe ni rju'a nda wlu ni bwubwu mble ka vu lebra wa ba tie ndu ni rjumaa.

2 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Niwa ba kpa nyme ni han ba dinari ri nivi waka tru ba hi ni rjumaa.

3 And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;

Ala rju ngarli ni wru nton u traa nda to lebra bari baki megyen ni bubu cucu.

4 and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.

A hla bawu biyi me hi ndi hi tie ndu nimu ni rjua, u ikpye wa a vua mi hanyi. U ba hi ka tie ndua.

5 Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.

Ala rju ngarli ni wru nton u tanne mba ni wru nton u tia nda tie to u mumla.

6 But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

Ngarli ni nton u puo a rju hi nda ka toh bari ba krli megyen. A hla bawu 'Bi tie he ndi krli wuu via kle megyen?'

7 They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive].

U baka hla niwu, E indjio na nnota ndu na mba u kie ki towa. Wa a hla bawu, 'Biyi me hi ni rjua.

8 But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay [them] their wages, beginning from the last even to the first.

Wa yalu a tie a indji u rjua ka hla ni manaja ma, Yo bi ndu ba ndi han ba dii mba, U han rji ni bi wa ba ye ni klekle hi ni bi mumlaa.

9 And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

Niwa bi vu ndu ni yalu ba yea ba han ba tsra ni han u bi tie ndu viri.

10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.

Niwa bi vu ndu rji ni mble kurji ba ye a, ba yo sron ndi ba han ba zan bi wa baye ni ko gon a, u ba han ba dinari yiyri.

11 And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

Wa ba kpa dii mba baka c'ba tre nitu indji u rjua.

12 saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.

Ba tre “Biyi wa ye klekle a, i wru nton ririyi megyen ba tie ndua, u hanba tsra ni u mbu wa kie tie ya ni mi rjia.

13 But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?

U indji u rjua a saa ni ri mba nda tre Ikpan mu mi na tie meme ni yiwu na. E kie y'me ndi mi han yi ni ndu u vi, ka ana to kima na?

14 Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:

Kpa kpye wa u bi ya ndi hi kpa mbi. Ahi son sron mu ndu mi nno wa ba ye klekle tsra ni han mbia.

15 is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

Ana bi ndu me tie kpye wa mi son ni kpi mu na? Ka bi ki tie nghu mu ni zizi wa mi tie a?

16 Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

Ahe to kima yi, bi klekle ba katie bi mumla u bi mumla ba k'ma tie be klekle”

17 And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to them,

Yesu si hi ni Urushalima, a nji tso ba hi ni nhma kori u ni gon a hla bawu.

18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death;

To mba kie si ni Urushalima u ba vu vren Ndji ka nno Firist bi ninkon ni bi nha. Ba hi lowu ni tre u wuu.

19 and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.

Nda vuu no gbu ndji ndu ba chau ya'ya' nda tsi wu nda kpanwu ni gran nhma kukton u ni vi u tra ba nzu wu wlunde”.

20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.

Nikiyi iyi myrli Zabadi a nji myrli ma myli ilonye ni Yesu. A kukhwu ni k'bu ma nda ni mye wu kpye.

21 And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak [the word] that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.

Yesu a mye wu, “U wa mi tie ngye niwu?” A hla niwu, “Mison ndu nyme ni myrli mu ndu son ni gbuchu u me, iri ni wo rli me u rima ni wo ta' u me.

22 And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.

U Yesu ka saa niwu nda tre, “Bina toh kpye wa bi ki bre a na. Ni to so ni mi gbanju wa me tie whiewhiere u so a?” U baka hla niwu, “E kie toh so”

23 [And] he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on [my] left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.

A hla ni bawu “Anita ni gbanju wa mi so, bi soo. U son ni woo rli mu mba wo kota mu ana mayi mi nno na ahi u bi wa Itu mu tie zi ni bawu a”.

24 And the ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.

Niwa imbru myrli koh ma wlon ba ye wo towa bala vra nfu ni myrli vayi harli ba.

25 But Jesus having called them to [him], said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.

U Yesu ka yo ba ye ni kpama nda tre “Bi toh bi chu u line barima ba tsro ba ndi ba chu bi ninkon bi gbu a ba tsro ba ndi ba chu bi ninkon bi gbua ba tsro ba gbengblen.

26 It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;

Ana to kima bi tie na. Indi wa anison he ninkon nimi mbi gbigbi ka katie vrenko mbi,

27 and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;

u indi u wa he u mumla nimi mbi ka katie vren koh mbi,

28 as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

na u Ivren Ndji iye ma na u wa ba tie ndu niwu ana a wa aye tie ndu nda nno tuma ndu ndji gbugbuwu jubu.”

29 And as they went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.

Wa ba rju rji ni Yariko a kpentren ndji baka huu.

30 And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

Ba to bi fyen harli ba ki ni nyu nkon wa bi fyen ba ba' wo ndi Yesu mba ka si hi, u baka kla gblo nyu nda ni tre. “Baci Ivren Doda, woyi mbu”.

31 But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

U ndji baka kpa nha ni ba nda hla ndu ki ni ngbangbi. U ni nakime, bi fyen ba la kla gblo nyu zan u mumla nda tre, “Baci Ivren Doda, wo yi mbu”

32 And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

Nikima, Yesu ka kukri kpyen me nda yo mba nda tre, “Bi wa ndu me tie ngyeri ni yiwu?”

33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

Baka hla niwu, “Baci, i wa ndu shishi mbu bwu”

34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.

U wa alo Yesu sron ka kpyre shishi mba. U ni kiyime shishi ba tie gbla bwu' u baka toh kpan nda huu.
