Matthew 20
1 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Bwami bwa kwilu ngatubukoshanisha cisa. Muntu walanyamuka mumene mene kuya kulemba beshikusebensa mulibala lyakendi.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Balasuminishana kubafolesha lyali limo lya silifa lyelela kufoleshewa pa busuba, nekubatuma kulibala lyakendi.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Cindi ca muma 9 koloko walacana nabambi kabali bekala pamusena wa makwebo babula ncito.
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Naboyo walabambileti, “Ne njamwe kamuyani kulibala lyakame lya maila, nindimufoleshe mwakwelana.”
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Naboyo balaya. Cindi ca munshi, kayi ne cindi camuma 3 koloko mansailo. Muntu usa walalemba basebenshi nabambi ne kubatuma kulibala lyakendi lya maila.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Kayi camuma 5 koloko mansailo, walacana bantu nabambi kabali bekala. Walabepusheti, “Mwekalilacani lisuba lyonse kwakubula ncito?”
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Paliya muntu latwingishiko ncito sobwe.” Naboyo walabambileti, “Ne njamwe kamuyani ku libala lyakame.”
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
Mansailo lisuba kaliya kwibila, mwine libala walambila Kapitawo wakendi, “Bakuwe basebenshi bonse, ubafoleshe. Utatikile abo balengili ncito mu ma 5 koloko, basa batanguna kwingila ncito beti bashalilile.”
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Mpobalesa basa balengila ncito cindi ca 5 koloko mansailo uliyense walafola lyali limo lya silifa, lyelela kufeleshewa pa ncito ya busuba bumo.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Lino mpobalesa basa balatanguna, balo balayeyeti nibafole mali angi, nomba uliyense walafola lyali limo lyelela kufoleshewa pa ncito ya busuba bumo.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Nomba nabo pakufola balatatika kutongaukila mwine libala,
12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
balambeti, “Ha! Banetu balengili ncito lino lino, balasebensowa kwa ola limo, cilyeconi mulabafoleshe kwelana ne njafwe, kakuli afwe tulafu misana ne ncito, lumwi lulatupwili pamubili!”
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Nomba nendi mwine libala walamukumbuleti, “Obe ndo, ndiya kukwibilapo sobwe, sena ntetwalasuminishana lyali limo lya silifa pa busuba?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Manta lyali lyakobe, koya. Njame ndemwine ndayeye kwambeti mfoleshe beshikushalila mwakwelanika nenjobe.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Sena nkandasunguluka mwangofu pabintu byakame kwinsa mbuli mondayandilinga? Sena ulepilwa pakwinga ndaina moyo pakutasalulula pakufolesha?”
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Neco Yesu pakupwililisha walambeti, “Bakunyuma nibakabe kuntangu, kayi bakuntangu nibakabe kunyuma.”
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Pacindi Yesu mpwalikuya ku Yelusalemu, walabatwala palubasu beshikwiya bakendi likumi ne babili, ne kubambileti,
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
“Ee, tuli pabulwendo bwakuya ku Yelusalemu, nomba kopeloko Mwa Muntu nakatwalwe kuba makulene beshimilumbo, ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose. Nibakamomboloshe ne kusuminishaneti afwe,
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
kayi nibakamutwale kubantu bamishobo naimbi, beti bakamunyanshe, ne kumukwapula, ne kumupopa palusanda. Nomba pabusuba bwatutatu nendi nakapundushiwe kubafu.”
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Muka Sebedayo ne bana bendi babili balesa kuli Yesu, walasuntama ne kumusengeti abenshileko kantu kalikonse nketi basenge.
21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Yesu walamwipusheti, “Mulayandanga cani mama?” Uyu mutukashi walambeti, “Kamunshomeshesha kwambeti, banabame aba, umo akekale kucikasa cenu cakululyo, naumbi kucikasa cakucipiko mu Bwami bwenu.”
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye 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 unto him, We are able.
Nomba nendi Yesu walakumbuleti, “Nkamucinshi ncomulasengenga, Sena ngamucikonsha kunwina pamo mu nkomeshi yamapensho njoti nwinemo?” Bonse balambeti, “Ee, ngatucikonsha.”
23 And he saith unto them, Ye 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 mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Yesu walambeti, “Ee, nimukanwe munkomeshiyo, nomba ame ndiya ngofu shakusala uyo eti akekale kucikasa cakame cakululyo, nambi kucikasa cakucipiko, Bata endibo beti bakape misena ilico kubantu abo mbobabambila.”
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
Mpobalanyumfwako bali likumi basa, balakalalila basa babili pabukwabo.
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Yesu walabakuwa beshikwiya bakendi bonse ne kubambileti, “Mucinsheti bendeleshi ba bantu ba mishobo naimbi bakute kulyela masuku pamitwi ya bantu babo, ne kubonesha ngofu shabo pabantu.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Nomba nkacelela kubeco pakati penu sobwe, pali njamwe uliyense layandanga kuba mukulene, abe musebenshi wenu.”
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
“Kayi uliyense layandanga kuba mutangunishi pakati penu, abe musha wenu.
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Kamubani mbuli Mwana Muntu utasuni kusebenselwa, nsombi kusebensela bantu, ne kubenga buyumi bwakendi kulubula bantu bangi.”
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi mpobalikufuma mu munshi wa Yeliko, bantu bangi balikumukonkela.
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, thou Son of David.
Bantu babili bashipilwa balikuba bekala mumbali mwa nshila balanyumfweti Yesu lapitinga munshila, balatatika kubilikisha, “Nkambo omwanendi Dafeti, kamutunyumfwilako nkumbo.”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Basa bantu balayanda kubamweneka mwakubacancilila, nsombi balo empobalapitilisha kolobesha, “Nkambo omwanendi Dafeti, kamutunyumfwilako nkumbo.”
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Yesu walemana, walabakuwa, ne kubepusheti, “Inga mulayandanga ndimwinshile cani?”
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Balo balakumbuleti, “Nkambo tulayandanga tutatike kubona.”
34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Yesu walabanyumfwila luse, walabekata pamenso, popelapo balatatika kubona, naboyo balamukonkela.
