Matthew 20
1 For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine, housholder, which went out at the dawning of the day to hire labourers into his vineyarde.
Kwa maana ufalme wa mbinguni unafanana na mmliki wa shamba, aliyeamka asubuhi na mapema ili kuajiri wafanyakazi katika shamba lake la mizabibu.
2 And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, and sent them into his vineyard.
Baada ya kuwa amekubaliana na wafanyakazi dinari moja kwa kutwa, aliwatuma kwenda katika shamba lake la mizabibu.
3 And he went out about the third houre, and sawe other standing idle in the market place,
Alienda tena baada ya masaa matatu hivi na aliona wafanyakazi wengine wakiwa wamesimama bila kazi katika eneo la soko.
4 And sayd vnto them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, I will giue you: and they went their way.
Akawaambia, 'Ninyi pia, nendeni katika shamba la mizabibu, na chochote kilicho halali nitawapa.' Hivyo wakaenda kufanya kazi.
5 Againe he went out about the sixt and ninth houre, and did likewise.
Akaenda tena baada ya masaa sita na tena katika saa ya tisa, na alifanya hivyo hivyo.
6 And he went about the eleuenth houre, and found other standing idle, and sayd vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Mara nyingine tena mnamo saa kumi na moja, alienda na kuwakuta watu wengine wamesimama bila kazi. Aliwaambia, 'kwanini mmesimama hapa bila kazi yoyote kwa siku nzima?
7 They sayd vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He sayd to them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue.
Wakamwambia, kwasababu hakuna mtu yeyote aliyetuajiri. Akawaambia, 'Nanyi ninyi pia nendeni katika shamba la mizabibu.'
8 And when euen was come, the master of the vineyard sayd vnto his steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning at the last, till thou come to the first.
Wakati wa jioni ulipofika, mwenye shamba la mizabibu alimwambia msimamizi wake, 'Waite wafanyakazi na uwalipe mishahara, kwa kuanza na wa mwisho hadi wa kwanza.'
9 And they which were hired about ye eleuenth houre, came and receiued euery man a penie.
Walipokuja wale walioajiriwa saa kumi na moja, kila mmoja wao alipokea dinari.
10 Nowe when the first came, they supposed that they should receiue more, but they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
Walipokuja wafanyakazi wa kwanza, walifikiri kuwa watapokea zaidi, lakini walipokea pia kila mmoja dinari moja kila mtu.
11 And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the master of the house,
Baada ya kupokea malipo yao, walimlalamikia mmiliki wa shamba.
12 Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden and heate of the day.
Wakasema, 'Hawa wafanyakazi wa mwisho wametumia saa moja tu katika kufanya kazi, lakini umewalinganisha na sisi, sisi tumebeba mzigo kwa siku nzima na kuungua na joto.'
13 And hee answered one of them, saying, Friend, I doe thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penie?
Lakini mwenye shamba akajibu na kusema kwa mmoja wao, 'Rafiki, sikutenda jambo baya. Je! hatukukubaliana na mimi kwa dinari moja?
14 Take that which is thine owne, and go thy way: I will giue vnto this last, as much as to thee.
Pokea kile kilicho halali yako na uende zako. Ni furaha yangu kuwapa hawa wafanyakazi walioajiriwa mwisho sawa sawa na wewe.
15 Is it not lawfull for me to do as I will with mine owne? Is thine eye euil, because I am good?
Je! Si haki kwangu kufanya kile ninachotaka na mali zangu? Au jicho lako ni ovu kwa sababu mimi ni mwema?
16 So the last shalbe first, and the first last: for many are called, but fewe chosen.
Hivyo wa mwisho atakuwa kwanza na wa kwanza wa mwisho''
17 And Iesus went vp to Hierusalem, and tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them,
Yesu alipokuwa akipanda kwenda Yerusalem, aliwachukuwa wanafunzi wake kumi na mbili pembeni, na njiani akawaambia,
18 Beholde, wee goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall bee deliuered vnto the chiefe priestes, and vnto the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death,
''Tazama tunaelekea Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atatiwa katika mikono ya wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi. Watamhukumu kifo
19 And shall deliuer him to the Gentiles, to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him, but the third day he shall rise againe.
na watamtoa kwa watu wa mataifa ili kumdhihaki, kumchapa na kumsulibisha. Lakini katika siku ya tatu atafufuka.''
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him.
Kisha mama wa wana wa Zebedayo alikuja kwa Yesu na wana wake. Alipiga magoti mbele yake na kumwomba kitu kutoka kwake.
21 And he said vnto her, What wouldest thou? She said to him, Graunt that these my two sonnes may sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy kingdome.
Yesu akamwambia, “Unataka nini?” Akamwambia, ''Amuru kuwa hawa wanangu wawili wakae, mmoja mkono wako wa kulia na mmoja mkono wako wa kushoto katika ufalme wako.''
22 And Iesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I shalbe baptized with? They said to him, We are able.
Lakini Yesu akajibu na kusema, “Haujui kile unachoomba. Je! Unaweza kukinywea kikombe ambacho nitakinywea?” wakamwambia, “Tunaweza.”
23 And he said vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptisme, that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hande, and at my left hand, is not mine to giue: but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared of my Father.
Akawaambia, “Kikombe changu hakika mtakinywea. Lakini kukaa mkono wangu wa kulia na mkono wangu wa kushoto si jukumu langu kuwapa, lakini ni kwa wale ambao wamekwisha kuandaliwa na Baba yangu.”
24 And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.
Wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia hivyo, wakahuzunishwa sana na wale ndugu wawili.
25 Therefore Iesus called them vnto him, and saide, We knowe that the lordes of the Gentiles haue domination ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie ouer them.
Lakini Yesu aliwaita mwenyewe na kuwaambia, “Mnafahamu ya kuwa watawala wa mataifa huwatiisha, na wakuu wao hutekeleza mamlaka juu yao.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant.
Lakini isiwe hivyo kwenu. Badala yake, yeyote atakayetaka kuwa mkubwa miongoni mwenu lazima awe mtumishi wenu.
27 And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.
Na atakaye kuwa wa kwanza miongoni mwenu lazima awe mtumishi wenu.
28 Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many.
Kama vile Mwana wa Adamu hakuja kutumikiwa, bali kutumika, na kutoa uhai wake kuwa ukombozi kwa wengi.”
29 And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him.
Wakati wakitoka Yeriko, umati mkubwa ulimfuata.
30 And beholde, two blinde men, sitting by the way side, when they heard that Iesus passed by, cryed, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.
Na waliwaona vipofu wawili wameketi kando ya barabara. Waliposikia kuwa Yesu alikuwa anapita, walipaza sauti na kusema, “Bwana, Mwana wa Daudi, utuhurumie.”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should holde their peace: but they cried the more, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.
Lakini umati ukawakemea, na kuwaambia nyamazeni. Hata hivyo, wao wakapaza sauti zaidi na kusema, “Bwana, Mwana wa Daudi, utuhurumie.”
32 Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you?
Kisha Yesu alisimama na aliwaita na kuwauliza, “Mnataka niwafanyie nini?”
33 They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Wakamwambia, “Bwana kwamba macho yetu yafumbuliwe.”
34 And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.
Basi Yesu, akiwa amevutwa na huruma, akayagusa macho yao, mara hiyo, wakapokea uwezo wa kuona na wakamfuata.
