Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
Vaan ram tah imkung hlang pakhat phek la om. Anih tah a misurdum kah bibikung coep ham yue cet.
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Te vaengah bibikung rhoek neh hnin at ham denarii pakhat neh a kotluep tih amih te a misurdum la a tueih.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Khonoek pathum tlukah a caeh hatah hnoyoih hmuen ah pai uh tih aka palyal rhoek te a hmuh.
4 And said to them; Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Te dongah te rhoek te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh lamtah a dueng la aka om te tah nangmih te kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Te dongah te rhoek khaw cet uh. Te phoeiah khonoek parhuk neh pako tluk ah khaw cet tih koep a tlap bal.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and says to them, Why stand you here all the day idle?
Hlaikhat tluk kah a caeh vaengah a tloe rhoek sut aka pai rhoek te a hmuh. Te dongah amih te, “Balae tih sut na pai uh tih khohnin yung ah na palyal uh he?” a ti nah.
7 They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go you also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, that shall you receive.
Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih he n'coep uh moenih,” a ti nahuh. Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh saw,” a ti nah.
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last to the first.
Hlaem ben a pha vaengah misurdum boei loh a dumtawt taengah, “Bibikung rhoek te khue lamtah lamhnuk rhoek lamkah tong lamtah lamhma duela amih te thapang thuung laeh,” a ti nah.
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Khonoek hlaikhat tluk kah aka pawk rhoek khaw denarii pakhat rhip a dang uh.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Lamhma la aka pawk rhoek loh muep a dang uh ni tila a poek uh. Tedae amih khaw denari pakhat ni rhip a dang uh.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the manager of the house,
Te tla aka dang rhoek loh imkung taengah kohuet uh.
12 Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal to us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Te dongah “He rhoek a lamhnuk rhoek tah khonoek pakhat ni a bi uh dae, hnin at puet kholing hnorhih aka ueh kaimih neh amih te vanat la na khueh,” a ti na uh.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did not you agree with me for a penny?
Tedae amih te pakhat la a doo tih, 'Pueivan aw nang kan thae nah moenih, kai neh denarii pakhat ham kotluep a om moenih a?
14 Take that your is, and go your way: I will give to this last, even as to you.
Namah kah te lo lamtah cet laeh. Nang bangla lamhnuk te khaw paek ka ngaih.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?
Kamah koe nen te ka ngaih bangla ka saii tueng moenih a? Kai a then la ka om te nang kah mik loh a lolh la a om sak a? 'a ti nah.
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Te dongah lamhnuk te lamhma vetih lamhma te lamhnuk la om ni,” a ti nah.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said to them,
Jesuh loh hnukbang hlainit rhoek te hloep a khue tih Jerusalem la cet.
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
A longpueng uh vaengah amih te, “Jerusalem la cet uh pawn sih. Hlang capa tah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek taengla a voeih uh vetih anih te dueknah neh a boe sak uh ni he.
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to whip, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Te phoeiah tamdaeng ham neh boh tih tai hamla namtom rhoek taengah a voeih uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Te vaengah Zebedee ca rhoek kah a manu loh a ca rhoek te Jesuh a paan puei tih a bawk. Tedae a taengkah hno pakhat a bih.
21 And he said to her, What will you? She says to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other on the left, in your kingdom.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae na ngaih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca rhoi he na ram ah tah na bantang ah pakhat na banvoei ah pakhat ngol rhoi saeh ti mai laeh,” a ti nah.
22 But Jesus answered and said, You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say to him, We are able.
Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Mebang na bih uh khaw na ming uh moenih. Kai loh ka ok ham ka cai thil boengloeng te ok hamla na coeng uh thai aya? a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Coeng thai ngawn,” a ti na uh.
23 And he says to them, You shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not my to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai kah boengloeng he na ok uh ngawn ni. Tedae kai kah bantang neh banvoei ah ngol ham tah kai hut la om pawh. Tedae a pa loh a hmoel rhoek ni tekah te a paek eh,” a ti nah.
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.
Parha rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah te rhoi boeina kawng te a yakdam uh.
25 But Jesus called them to him, and said, You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority on them.
Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a khue tih, “Namtom rhoek kah boei rhoek tah amamih vueinan uh tih a len rhoek loh amamih a huttet uh thae te na ming.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Nangmih khuiah tetlam te om uh boeh. Tedae, Nangmih khuiah a len la om aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah tueihyoeih la om ni.
27 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Te phoeiah nangmih khuiah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah sal la om ni.
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Hlang Capa tah hlang thohtat sak ham pawt tih thohtat pah ham neh a hinglu te ping kah tlansum la paek ham ni halo,” a ti nah.
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Amih te Jerikho lamloh a khong uh vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai.
30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you son of David.
Te vaengah mikdael panit long taengah ngol rhoi. Jesuh kah a khum te a yaak rhoi vaengah pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa, kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you son of David.
Tedae hlangping loh amih rhoi te a ho tih a paa sak. Te vaengah te rhoi te taoe pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will you that I shall do to you?
Te vaengah Jesuh tah pai tih amih rhoi te a khue. Te phoeiah, “Nangmih rhoi ham balae saii sak na ngaih rhoi,” a ti nah.
33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Te dongah, “Boeipa, kaimih rhoi mik tah tueng lah saeh,” a ti rhoi.
34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Jesuh tah a thinphat tih amih rhoi mik te a taek pah. Te vaengah tlek a hmuh rhoi tih Jesuh hnuk a vai rhoi.
