Matthew 20
1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the master of a family, who went out at break of day, to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Vantung kumpingam sia, ama sapit huan sung ah naseam tu te sam tu in zingtung a vak innteakpa taw kibang hi.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers at a denarius a day, he sent them into the vineyard.
Nikhat thaman dangkasan pheak khat piak tu in naseam tute taw a thukim zawkciang, amate sia sapit huan ah sawl hi.
3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place unemployed.
Zingsang nai kua ciang hong pusuak a, ngual sumbuk ah a ding thathong mu hi,
4 And he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is equitable, I will give it you. So they went.
Amate kung ah, note zong sapit huan ah pai tavun a, a kiphu bang in hong pia tu khi hi, a ci ciang, amate zong pai hi.
5 Again going out, about the sixth and ninth hour, he did after the same manner.
Ama sia nai sawmleni le nitaksang nai thum ciang in vakkik a, a dang te zong sawl leleau hi.
6 But about the eleventh hour, going out, he found others standing unemployed, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
'Nitaksang nai nga kimpawl in paikik leleau a, bangma seam ngawl in a ding thathong te mu hi, taciang, banghang in na seam ngawl in sun khuateak ziaksung ah ding nu ziam? ci hi.
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is equitable, ye shall receive.
Amate in ko kuama in hong cial ngawl hi, ci uh hi. Ama in, no zong ka sapit huan ah thalaw vun a; a kilawm za nga tu nu hi, ci hi.
8 Now when the evening came, the master of the vineyard said to his overseer, Call the labourers, and give them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.
Nitakciang in sapit huanneipa in sumkeampa kung ah, a khakbel pan a masabel dong a seam te theampo sam siat in a, a thaman pia in, ci hi.
9 And when they came, who began about the eleventh hour, they received each a denarius.
Nitaksang nai nga pan nasep kipan te hongpai ciang, ngun dangka piakhat tek nga uh hi.
10 But when the first came, they expected that they should receive more; and they also received every man a denarius.
Amasabel te hongpai ciang in, a tamzaw nga tu in ngaisun hi kale; ngun dangka piakhat tek ma nga uh hi.
11 But when they received it, they murmured against the master of the family:
Amate in thaman a nga uh ciang in, innteakpa phunsan uh a,
12 saying, These last have wrought only a single hour, and thou hast put them on an equality with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Hi a khakbel a seam te sia nai khat sung bek seam napi, vanngit pua in, nisaham thuak ko te taw a kikim in hong vawt ni hi, ci uh hi.
13 But he answering, said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no injustice; did I not agree with thee for a denarius?
Hi kamale, ama in amate sung pan khat tung ah hibang in zo kik hi, lawm awng, na tung ah khialna vawt ngawl khi hi: ngun dangka piakhat piak tu in i thukim sa hi ngawl ziam?
14 Take then thine own, and begone: I chuse to give to this last even as to thee.
Na thaman la in a, cia in: a khakbel te zong nangma kong piak za pia tu khi hi.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Keima neisa sia ka ukbang zeak thei natu ngeina om ngawl ziam? Keima phatna hang in banghang hong mu khial ni ziam?
16 Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called, but the elect are few.
Tua ahikom a khakbel te sia masabel tu a, a masabel te sia nungkhakbel tu hi: banghangziam cile sapna nga tam hi ka le, a ki teal tawm hi, ci hi.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples aside on the road, and said to them;
Jesus Jerusalem a pai ciang in, a nungzui sawmleni te a tuam in sam a,
18 Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
En vun! Jerusalem ah i pai hi; mihing Tapa sia thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te kung ah ki zuak tu a, that tu in thukhen tu uh hi.
19 and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall rise again.
Mihing Tapa sia selno tu, sat tu le thinglamte tung ah khai tu in Gentile te kung ah ap tu a, nithum ni ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children, with her sons, paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him.
Zebedee zi sia Jesus kung ah a tate ni taw hongpai in bia a, a dei thu khat ngen hi.
21 Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom.
Jesus in, Bang dei ni ziam? ci in dong hi. Ama in, na kumpingam sung ah hi ka tapa te ni sia na ziatsang ah khat, na veisang ah a dang khat tosak in, ci hi.
22 Then Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I am going to drink, and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised? They say unto him, We are able.
Ahihang Jesus in, Bang thu hong ngen nu ziam ci na he bua uh hi. Ka dawn tu hai dawn zo tu nu ziam, ka thuak tu baptisma thuak zo tu nu ziam? ci in zo kik hi. Amate in zo tu khu hi, ci uh hi.
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and with the baptism with which I am baptised, shall ye be baptised; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, it is not in my power to bestow, but on those, for whom it was prepared by my Father.
Jesus in, Ka dawn tu hai sia dawn takpi tu nu hi, ka thuak tu baptisma zong thuak takpi tu nu hi: ahihang ka ziatsang le ka veisang ah a to tu sia Kei i piak tu hi ngawl a, Ka Pa in a ngealkholsa te pia tu hi, ci hi.
24 And the twelve, on hearing this, were filled with indignation against the two brethren.
Hi thu a dang sawm te in a zak uh ciang, tuate u nau tung ah thin-uk mama uh hi.
25 But Jesus, calling them to him, said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority among them.
Ahihang Jesus in amate a kung ah sam a, Na heaksa uh bangma in Gentile kumpi te in a mihing te sia zawthawk thu taw uk a, ulian te in thuneina taw uk uh hi.
26 But thus shall it not be with you. But whosoever will be a great man among you, let him be your servant;
Ahizong note sung ah tabang hisak heak vun: note sung ah khatpo a lian nuam le, note i naseam hi tahen,
27 and whosoever will be first, let him be your slave.
Note sung ah khatpo in a lu bel a hi nuam le, note i sila hi tahen.
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mihing Tapa sia ngual a sawl tu in hongpai ngawl hi, ngual atu seam tu in le mi tampi tatkhiat natu a nuntakna pia tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.
29 And as they were going out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Amate Jericho pan in a pusua uh ciang, mihon tampi in zui uh hi.
30 And, behold, two blind men sat by the road side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!
En vun, mittaw ni te lamhui ah to in, Jesus in hong kantan hi, ci a zak uh ciang, maw Topa, nang David Tapa, hong hesuak po tan, ci in au uh hi.
31 And the multitude checked them, that they should be silent; but they cried out the more, Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.
Mihonpi te in a om khipkhep natu in tei uh hi: ahihang amate au seseam uh a, nang David Tapa, hong hesuak po tan, ci uh hi.
32 And Jesus standing called them, and said, What desire ye, that I should do for you?
Jesus ding in amate sam a, Bang kong vawtsak tu uk nu ziam? ci hi.
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Amate in, Topa awng, ka mit uh hong in khua hong musak tan, ci uh hi.
34 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes recovered sight, and they followed him.
Jesus in amate tung ah hesuakna nei a, a mit te uh a thamsak ciang in thakhatthu in khuamu uh a, amate in a nung zui hi.
