Matthew 20
1 “For the kingdom of the heavens is like a certain landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
svargarājyam etādṛśā kenacid gṛhasyena samaṁ, yo'tiprabhāte nijadrākṣākṣetre kṛṣakān niyoktuṁ gatavān|
2 And agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day he sent them into his vineyard.
paścāt taiḥ sākaṁ dinaikabhṛtiṁ mudrācaturthāṁśaṁ nirūpya tān drākṣākṣetraṁ prerayāmāsa|
3 And going out about the third hour [9 a.m.] he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
anantaraṁ praharaikavelāyāṁ gatvā haṭṭe katipayān niṣkarmmakān vilokya tānavadat,
4 And he said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard and I will give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.
yūyamapi mama drākṣākṣetraṁ yāta, yuṣmabhyamahaṁ yogyabhṛtiṁ dāsyāmi, tataste vavrajuḥ|
5 He went out again about the sixth hour, and the ninth, and did the same.
punaśca sa dvitīyatṛtīyayoḥ praharayo rbahi rgatvā tathaiva kṛtavān|
6 Now about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and he says to them, ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?’
tato daṇḍadvayāvaśiṣṭāyāṁ velāyāṁ bahi rgatvāparān katipayajanān niṣkarmmakān vilokya pṛṣṭavān, yūyaṁ kimartham atra sarvvaṁ dinaṁ niṣkarmmāṇastiṣṭhatha?
7 They say to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He says to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
te pratyavadan, asmān na kopi karmamaṇi niyuṁkte| tadānīṁ sa kathitavān, yūyamapi mama drākṣākṣetraṁ yāta, tena yogyāṁ bhṛtiṁ lapsyatha|
8 So when evening had come the owner of the vineyard says to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wage, beginning at the last to the first.’
tadanantaraṁ sandhyāyāṁ satyāṁ saeva drākṣākṣetrapatiradhyakṣaṁ gadivān, kṛṣakān āhūya śeṣajanamārabhya prathamaṁ yāvat tebhyo bhṛtiṁ dehi|
9 The eleventh hour ones came and each received a denarius.
tena ye daṇḍadvayāvasthite samāyātāsteṣām ekaiko jano mudrācaturthāṁśaṁ prāpnot|
10 So when the first ones came they supposed that they would receive more; yet each of them also received a denarius.
tadānīṁ prathamaniyuktā janā āgatyānumitavanto vayamadhikaṁ prapsyāmaḥ, kintu tairapi mudrācaturthāṁśo'lābhi|
11 When they received it they began grumbling against the landowner
tataste taṁ gṛhītvā tena kṣetrapatinā sākaṁ vāgyuddhaṁ kurvvantaḥ kathayāmāsuḥ,
12 saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden and the heat of the day!’
vayaṁ kṛtsnaṁ dinaṁ tāpakleśau soḍhavantaḥ, kintu paścātāyā se janā daṇḍadvayamātraṁ pariśrāntavantaste'smābhiḥ samānāṁśāḥ kṛtāḥ|
13 But in answer he said to one of them: ‘Friend, I am not wronging you. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
tataḥ sa teṣāmekaṁ pratyuvāca, he vatsa, mayā tvāṁ prati kopyanyāyo na kṛtaḥ kiṁ tvayā matsamakṣaṁ mudrācaturthāṁśo nāṅgīkṛtaḥ?
14 Take what is yours and go. I wish to give to this last one just as to you.
tasmāt tava yat prāpyaṁ tadādāya yāhi, tubhyaṁ yati, paścātīyaniyuktalokāyāpi tati dātumicchāmi|
15 Or is it not permissible for me to do what I want with what is mine? Is your eye evil because I am good?’
svecchayā nijadravyavyavaharaṇaṁ kiṁ mayā na karttavyaṁ? mama dātṛtvāt tvayā kim īrṣyādṛṣṭiḥ kriyate?
16 Just so the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
ittham agrīyalokāḥ paścatīyā bhaviṣyanti, paścātīyajanāścagrīyā bhaviṣyanti, ahūtā bahavaḥ kintvalpe manobhilaṣitāḥ|
17 As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem He took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them privately:
tadanantaraṁ yīśu ryirūśālamnagaraṁ gacchan mārgamadhye śiṣyān ekānte vabhāṣe,
18 “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of the Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,
paśya vayaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ yāmaḥ, tatra pradhānayājakādhyāpakānāṁ kareṣu manuṣyaputraḥ samarpiṣyate;
19 and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge and to crucify. And on the third day He will rise!”
te ca taṁ hantumājñāpya tiraskṛtya vetreṇa praharttuṁ kruśe dhātayituñcānyadeśīyānāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyanti, kintu sa tṛtīyadivase śmaśānād utthāpiṣyate|
20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons approached Him, with her sons, and kneeling down she asked something from Him.
tadānīṁ sivadīyasya nārī svaputrāvādāya yīśoḥ samīpam etya praṇamya kañcanānugrahaṁ taṁ yayāce|
21 So He said to her, “What do you wish?” She says to Him, “State that these my two sons may sit one on Your right and one on Your left in Your kingdom.”
tadā yīśustāṁ proktavān, tvaṁ kiṁ yācase? tataḥ sā babhāṣe, bhavato rājatve mamānayoḥ sutayorekaṁ bhavaddakṣiṇapārśve dvitīyaṁ vāmapārśva upaveṣṭum ājñāpayatu|
22 But in answer Jesus said: “You (pl.) do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am being baptized with?” They say to Him, “We are able.”
yīśuḥ pratyuvāca, yuvābhyāṁ yad yācyate, tanna budhyate, ahaṁ yena kaṁsena pāsyāmi yuvābhyāṁ kiṁ tena pātuṁ śakyate? ahañca yena majjenena majjiṣye, yuvābhyāṁ kiṁ tena majjayituṁ śakyate? te jagaduḥ śakyate|
23 And He says to them: “You will indeed drink my cup, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am being baptized with, but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give; rather it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
tadā sa uktavān, yuvāṁ mama kaṁsenāvaśyaṁ pāsyathaḥ, mama majjanena ca yuvāmapi majjiṣyethe, kintu yeṣāṁ kṛte mattātena nirūpitam idaṁ tān vihāyānyaṁ kamapi maddakṣiṇapārśve vāmapārśve ca samupaveśayituṁ mamādhikāro nāsti|
24 Now when the ten heard it they were indignant at the two brothers.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvānye daśaśiṣyāstau bhrātarau prati cukupuḥ|
25 But summoning them Jesus said: “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and the great exercise authority over them;
kintu yīśuḥ svasamīpaṁ tānāhūya jagāda, anyadeśīyalokānāṁ narapatayastān adhikurvvanti, ye tu mahāntaste tān śāsati, iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
26 but it must not be so among you. Rather, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
kintu yuṣmākaṁ madhye na tathā bhavet, yuṣmākaṁ yaḥ kaścit mahān bubhūṣati, sa yuṣmān seveta;
27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave;
yaśca yuṣmākaṁ madhye mukhyo bubhūṣati, sa yuṣmākaṁ dāso bhavet|
28 just like the Son of the Man—He did not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
itthaṁ manujaputraḥ sevyo bhavituṁ nahi, kintu sevituṁ bahūnāṁ paritrāṇamūlyārthaṁ svaprāṇān dātuñcāgataḥ|
29 Now as they went on from Jericho a large crowd followed Him.
anantaraṁ yirīhonagarāt teṣāṁ bahirgamanasamaye tasya paścād bahavo lokā vavrajuḥ|
30 And then, two blind men sitting alongside the road and hearing, “Jesus is passing by!” cried out saying, “Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!”
aparaṁ vartmapārśva upaviśantau dvāvandhau tena mārgeṇa yīśo rgamanaṁ niśamya proccaiḥ kathayāmāsatuḥ, he prabho dāyūdaḥ santāna, āvayo rdayāṁ vidhehi|
31 So the crowd threatened them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more saying, “Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!”
tato lokāḥ sarvve tuṣṇīmbhavatamityuktvā tau tarjayāmāsuḥ; tathāpi tau punaruccaiḥ kathayāmāsatuḥ he prabho dāyūdaḥ santāna, āvāṁ dayasva|
32 Jesus stopped, called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
tadānīṁ yīśuḥ sthagitaḥ san tāvāhūya bhāṣitavān, yuvayoḥ kṛte mayā kiṁ karttarvyaṁ? yuvāṁ kiṁ kāmayethe?
33 They say to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened!”
tadā tāvuktavantau, prabho netrāṇi nau prasannāni bhaveyuḥ|
34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
tadānīṁ yīśustau prati pramannaḥ san tayo rnetrāṇi pasparśa, tenaiva tau suvīkṣāñcakrāte tatpaścāt jagmutuśca|
