Matthew 20
1 The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
“Nítorí ìjọba ọ̀run dàbí ọkùnrin tí ó jẹ́ baálé kan, tí ó jíjáde lọ ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, tí ó gba àwọn alágbàṣe sínú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀.
2 And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Òun pinnu láti san dínárì kan fún iṣẹ́ òòjọ́ kan. Lẹ́yìn èyí ó sì rán wọn lọ sínú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀.
3 And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
“Ní wákàtí kẹta ọjọ́ bí ó ti ń kọjá níwájú ilé ìgbanisíṣẹ́, ó rí díẹ̀ nínú àwọn aláìríṣẹ́ tí wọ́n dúró ní ọjà.
4 And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
Ó wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin pàápàá, ẹ lọ ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ọgbà àjàrà mi, bí ó bá sì di òpin ọjọ́, èmi yóò san iye ti ó bá yẹ fún yín.’
5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
Wọ́n sì lọ. “Ó tún jáde lọ́sàn án ní nǹkan bí wákàtí kẹfà àti wákàtí kẹsànán, ó túnṣe bákan náà.
6 But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
Lọ́jọ́ kan náà ní wákàtí kọkànlá ọjọ́, ó tún jáde sí àárín ìlú, ó sì rí àwọn aláìríṣẹ́ mìíràn tí wọ́n dúró. Ó bi wọ́n pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kì í ṣiṣẹ́ ní gbogbo ọjọ́?’
7 They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
“Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, ‘Nítorí pé kò sí ẹni tí yóò fún wa ní iṣẹ́ ṣe.’ “Ó tún sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin náà ẹ jáde lọ ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú nínú ọgbà àjàrà mi.’
8 And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
“Nígbà tí ó di àṣálẹ́, ẹni tó ni ọgbà àjàrà sọ fún aṣojú rẹ̀ pé, ‘Pe àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ náà, kí ó san owó iṣẹ́ wọn fún wọn, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ẹni ìkẹyìn lọ sí ti ìṣáájú.’
9 When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
“Nígbà tí àwọn ti a pè ní wákàtí kọkànlá ọjọ́ dé, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan gba owó dínárì kan.
10 But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
Nígbà tí àwọn tí a gbà ṣiṣẹ́ lákọ̀ọ́kọ́ fẹ́ gba owó tiwọn, èrò wọn ni pé àwọn yóò gba jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn gba owó dínárì kan.
11 And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
Bí wọ́n ti ń gbà á, wọ́n ń kùn sí onílẹ̀ náà,
12 Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
pé, ‘Wákàtí kan péré ni àwọn tí a gbà kẹ́yìn fi ṣiṣẹ́, ìwọ sì san iye kan náà fún wọn àti àwa náà ti a fi gbogbo ọjọ́ ṣiṣẹ́ nínú oòrùn gangan.’
13 But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
“Ṣùgbọ́n ó dá ọ̀kan nínú wọn lóhùn pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, kò sí aburú nínú nǹkan tí èmi ṣe sí yín. Kì í ha ṣe pé ẹ̀yin gbà láti ṣiṣẹ́ fún owó dínárì kan.
14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
Ó ní, gba èyí tí í ṣé tìrẹ, ki ó sì máa lọ. Èmi fẹ́ láti fún ẹni ìkẹyìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti fi fún ọ.
15 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
Àbí ó lòdì sí òfin pé kí èmi fún ẹnikẹ́ni ní owó mi bí mo bá yàn láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀? Kí ni ìdí tí ìwọ ní láti bínú nítorí èmi ṣe ohun rere?’
16 So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹni ìkẹyìn yóò di ẹni ìṣáájú, ẹni ìṣáájú yóò sì di ẹni ìkẹyìn.”
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:
Bí Jesu ti ń gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, ó pe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ méjìlá sí apá kan ó sì wí pé,
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.
“Wò ó, àwa ń gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu. Ó sọ fún wọn pé, a ó fi Ọmọ Ènìyàn lé àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin lọ́wọ́, wọn yóò sì dá mi lẹ́bi ikú.
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.
Wọn yóò sì fà á lé àwọn kèfèrí lọ́wọ́ láti fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà àti láti náà án, àti láti kàn mi mọ́ àgbélébùú, ní ọjọ́ kẹta, yóò jí dìde.”
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
Nígbà náà ni ìyá àwọn ọmọ Sebede bá àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ wá sọ́dọ̀ Jesu, ó wólẹ̀ lórí eékún rẹ̀, o béèrè fún ojúrere rẹ̀.
21 Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
Jesu béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń fẹ́?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ mi méjèèjì jókòó ní apá ọ̀tún àti apá òsì lórí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ?”
22 And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń béèrè, ẹ̀yin ha le mu nínú ago tí èmi ó mu?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Àwa lè mu ún.”
23 He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Dájúdájú, ẹ̀yin yóò mu nínú ago mi, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò ní àṣẹ láti sọ irú ènìyàn tí yóò jókòó ní apá ọ̀tún tàbí apá òsì. Baba mi ti pèsè ààyè wọ̀n-ọn-nì sílẹ̀ fún kìkì àwọn tí ó yàn.”
24 And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mẹ́wàá ìyókù sì gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n bínú sí àwọn arákùnrin méjì yìí.
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu pé wọ́n papọ̀, ó wí pé, “Dájúdájú, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé àwọn ọba aláìkọlà a máa lo agbára lórí wọn, àwọn ẹni ńlá láàrín wọn a sì máa fi ọlá tẹrí àwọn tí ó wà lábẹ́ wọn ba.
26 It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí yàtọ̀ láàrín yín. Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹni tí ó bá ń fẹ́ ṣe olórí láàrín yín, ní láti ṣe bí ìránṣẹ́ fún yín ni,
27 And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
àti ẹni tí ó bá fẹ́ ṣe olórí nínú yín, ẹ jẹ́ kí ó máa ṣe ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ yin.
28 Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọmọ Ènìyàn kò ṣe wá sí ayé, kí ẹ lè ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un, ṣùgbọ́n láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún yín, àti láti fi ẹ̀mí rẹ ṣe ìràpadà ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.”
29 And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Bí Jesu àti àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ti ń fi ìlú Jeriko sílẹ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì wọ́ tẹ̀lé e lẹ́yìn.
30 And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
Àwọn ọkùnrin afọ́jú méjì sì jókòó lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà, nígbà tí wọ́n sí gbọ́ pé Jesu ń kọjá lọ, wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í kígbe pé, “Olúwa, Ọmọ Dafidi, ṣàánú fún wa!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
Àwọn ènìyàn sí bá wọn wí pé kí wọn dákẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n kígbe sókè sí i. “Olúwa, ọmọ Dafidi, ṣàánú fún wa!”
32 And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?
Jesu dúró lójú ọ̀nà, ó sì pè wọ́n, Ó béèrè pé, “Kí ni ẹ̀yin fẹ́ kí èmi ṣe fún yín?”
33 They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Olúwa, àwa fẹ́ kí a ríran.”
34 And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.
Àánú wọn sì ṣe Jesu, ó fi ọwọ́ kan ojú wọn. Lójúkan náà, wọ́n sì ríran, wọ́n sì ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.
