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.
“He ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu hengihengi pe, ke unga ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
2 And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, and sent them into his vineyard.
Pea kuo nau alea mo e kau ngāue ko e ʻaho mo e tenali ʻe taha, naʻa ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
3 And he went out about the third houre, and sawe other standing idle in the market place,
Pea ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo mamata ki he niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi he potu fakatau.
4 And sayd vnto them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, I will giue you: and they went their way.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine, pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu.’ Pea nau ʻalu.
5 Againe he went out about the sixt and ninth houre, and did likewise.
Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono ono mo hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo ne [toe ]fai pehē.
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?
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mou tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi heni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa?’
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.
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai unga ʻakimautolu ʻe ha taha.’ Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine; pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te mou maʻu.’
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.
“Pea kuo efiafi, pea pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine ki heʻene tauhi koloa, ‘Ui ʻae kau ngāue, ʻo ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻenau totongi, ʻo fua fai ki he mui mai ʻo aʻu ki he muʻomuʻa mai.’
9 And they which were hired about ye eleuenth houre, came and receiued euery man a penie.
Pea haʻu ʻakinautolu [naʻe unga ]ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea maʻu taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae tenali.
10 Nowe when the first came, they supposed that they should receiue more, but they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
Pea ʻi he omi ʻae kau muʻomuʻa mai, naʻa nau ʻamanaki ke maʻu ʻo lahi hake; ka naʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu taki taha foki ʻae tenali.
11 And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the master of the house,
Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ia, naʻa nau lāunga ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale,
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.
ʻO nau pehē, ‘Ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo ngāue ai ʻae kau muimui mai ni, pea kuo ke fakatatau ʻakinautolu kiate kimautolu kuo katekina ʻae ngāue ʻoe ʻaho, mo hono pupuha.’
13 And hee answered one of them, saying, Friend, I doe thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penie?
Ka naʻe lea ia ki honau tokotaha, ʻo pehēange, ‘Kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u fai hala kiate koe: ʻikai naʻa ta alea ki he tenali?’
14 Take that which is thine owne, and go thy way: I will giue vnto this last, as much as to thee.
Toʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, pea ke ʻalu: te u ʻoatu ki he mui mai ni, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.
15 Is it not lawfull for me to do as I will with mine owne? Is thine eye euil, because I am good?
ʻIkai ʻoku ngofua kiate au ke fai ʻeku faʻiteliha ki he meʻa ʻaʻaku? ʻOku kovi ho mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou angalelei?’
16 So the last shalbe first, and the first last: for many are called, but fewe chosen.
Ko ia ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui: he ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
17 And Iesus went vp to Hierusalem, and tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them,
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema, naʻa ne fakaafe ʻae kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻi he hala, ʻo ne tala kiate kinautolu,
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,
“Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema; pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi; pea te nau fakamaau ia ke mate;
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.
pea ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile ke manukiʻi, mo haha, mo tutuki ki he ʻakau: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him.
Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti mo ʻene ongo tama, ʻo hū, mo ne holi ki he meʻa ʻe taha meiate ia.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā ho loto?” Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuku ke nofo ʻeku ongo tama ni, ko e tokotaha ki ho nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki ho toʻohema, ʻi ho puleʻanga.”
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.
Ka naʻe leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou kole. ʻOku mou faʻa fai ke inu ʻi he ipu te u inu ai, pea ke papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai?” Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻOku ma mafai pe.”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻE inu moʻoni ʻekimoua ʻi heʻeku ipu, pea papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai: ka ko e nofo ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, mo hoku toʻohema, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku ia ke foaki, ka kiate kinautolu pē kuo teuteu ia ki ai ʻe heʻeku Tamai.”
24 And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae toko hongofulu, naʻe tupu ai ʻenau ʻita ki he ongo kāinga.
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.
Ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko e houʻeiki ʻoe Senitaile ʻoku nau faʻa puleʻi ʻa kinautolu, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lahi ʻoku nau faʻa pule mālohi kiate kinautolu.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant.
Ka ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia ʻoku loto ke lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, ke hoko ia ko homou tauhi.
27 And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.
pea ko ia ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki:
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.
ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko e Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ʻikai haʻu ia ke tauhia ia, ka ke tauhi, pea ke foaki ʻene moʻui ko e huhuʻi ʻoe tokolahi.”
29 And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi Seliko, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi.
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.
Pea vakai, naʻe nonofo ʻae ongo tangata kui ʻi he veʻe hala, pea kuo na fanongo ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻa Sisu, naʻa na kalanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
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.
Pea lolomi ʻakinaua ʻe he kakai, ke na fakalongo pē: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻena tangi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
32 Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you?
Pea tuʻu mai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ui kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ho mo loto ke u fai kiate kimoua?”
33 They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā homa mata.”
34 And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.
Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne tuhuʻi hona mata; pea ʻā ai leva hona mata, ʻo na muimui ʻiate ia.
