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.
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwaali ni ngunda wa sabibu, juŵatyosile kundaŵi pe kukwaŵika ŵandu ŵakulima mu ngunda wao.
2 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Paŵamasile kulangana ni ŵakulima kuti chachalipa chipande chimo cha madini ga feza malinga ni malipilo ga lyuŵa limo, ŵapeleche ku ngunda wa sabibu.
3 And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;
Ŵatyosile saa tatu kundaŵi, ŵaweni ŵane ŵangali ni masengo ali ajimi pakusumichisya malonda.
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.
Ŵaasalile, ‘Njende ni ŵanyamwe ku ngunda wa sabibu, none chinanlipe.’
5 Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
Nipele, ŵapite. Asyene ngunda ŵala ŵatyosile sooni saa sita ni saa tisa, ŵatesile iyoyo.
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?
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?’
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].
Ŵajanjile, ‘Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwatupele masengo.’ Nombejo ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule ni ŵanyamwe nkapanganye masengo ku ngunda wa sabibu.’
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.
“Pakwaswele, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula ŵansalile jwakulolela masengo gao kuti, ‘Nkaaŵilanje ŵamasengo mwape malipilo gao, kutandila ŵa kumbesi mpaka ŵa kundanda.’
9 And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
Nipele, ŵaiche ŵele ŵaŵapegwilwe masengo katema ka saa kumi na moja, jwalijose ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza.
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.
Ni ŵandanda ŵala paŵaiche ŵaganichisye kuti chapochele yakupunda, nambo nombe ŵanyawo ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza yalumo ni achinjao.
11 And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
Paŵapochele mbiya syao, ŵatandite kwasongonechela asyene ngunda ŵala.
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.
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?’
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?
“Pelepo nsyene ngunda jula ŵanjanjile jumo jwao kuti, ‘Ambusanga, ngangummonela! Ana nganitulangana none kwa malipilo ga chipande chimo cha madini ga feza?
14 Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
Njigale chichili chenu, njaule kumangwenu. Ngunonyelwa kumpa aju junampele masengo kumbesi yalumo ni mmwe.
15 is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because I am good?
Uli, ngangusachilwa kutenda indu ingunonyelwa nkati yose ingwete? Ana nkukola wiwu pakuŵa une ndili jwambone?’”
16 Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kwa kusala, “Iyoyo ŵaali ŵambesi chachiŵa ŵandanda ni ŵaali ŵandanda chachiŵa ŵambesi.”
17 And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to them,
Che Yesu paŵaliji nkukwela kwaula ku Yelusalemu, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, paŵaliji nkwenda mwitala, peuto pangali ŵandu ŵane, ŵaasalile,
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;
“Nnole! Tukwaula ku Yelusalemu, ni kwele Mwana jwa Mundu chakatajikwe mmakono mwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, nombewo chalamulikwe aulajikwe.
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.
Chakampeleche kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi apate kuntendela chanache ni kumputa mbokola ni kwaŵamba pa nsalaba ni pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chachisyuka.”
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.
Nipele achikulu ŵa ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo ŵaichile Che Yesu, pamo ni achiŵanagwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kwaŵenda chindu.
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.
Che Yesu ŵammusisye, “Chichi nkusaka?” Ŵatite, “Choonde nlanje kuti mu umwenye wenu, achiŵanangu ŵaŵili ŵa chatame, jumo kundyo kwenu ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chiching'wele une?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.”
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.
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.”
24 And the ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.
Nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵane likumi ŵala paŵapilikene gele, ŵatumbilile ŵaŵili wo.
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.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ni kwasalila, “Nkumanyilila kuti mamwenye ŵa ilambo akwalongosya ŵandu ŵao kwa machili, ni achakulu ŵao akwatenda ali ŵandu ŵao.
26 It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
Nambo inaŵe yele kukwenu, nambo jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwamkulungwa kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe katumetume jwa wose.
27 and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
Ni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwaandanda kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe jwakutumichila jwenu.
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.
Iyoyopeyo, Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kuti atumichilwe nambo kuti atumichile, ni kuutyosya umi wakwe kuti gaŵe malipilo kwa ligongo lya chiwombolo cha ŵandu ŵajinji.”
29 And as they went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.
Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji nkutyoka ku Yeliko, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji nkwakuya.
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.
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!”
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.
Mpingo wa ŵandu wakalipile ni kwasalila amyalale. Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya, achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
32 And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?
Che Yesu ŵajimi, ŵaaŵilasile ni kwausya, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?”
33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tukummenda gaunukuche meeso getu.”
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵakolele chanasa, ŵakwaiye meeso gao ni papopo ŵakombwele kulola, ni ŵankuiye.
