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.
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwaali ni ngunda wa sabibu, juŵatyosile kundaŵi pe kukwaŵika ŵandu ŵakulima mu ngunda wao.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Paŵamasile kulangana ni ŵakulima kuti chachalipa chipande chimo cha madini ga feza malinga ni malipilo ga lyuŵa limo, ŵapeleche ku ngunda wa sabibu.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Ŵatyosile saa tatu kundaŵi, ŵaweni ŵane ŵangali ni masengo ali ajimi pakusumichisya malonda.
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Ŵaasalile, ‘Njende ni ŵanyamwe ku ngunda wa sabibu, none chinanlipe.’
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Nipele, ŵapite. Asyene ngunda ŵala ŵatyosile sooni saa sita ni saa tisa, ŵatesile iyoyo.
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?
Pajaŵandichile saa kumi na moja, ŵatyosile sooni, ŵasimene ŵandu ŵane ali ajimi papopo pakusumisya malonda. Nipele ŵausisye, ‘Kwachichi nkwima apano muusi wose u pangali masengo?’
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.
Ŵajanjile, ‘Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwatupele masengo.’ Nombejo ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule ni ŵanyamwe nkapanganye masengo ku ngunda wa sabibu.’
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.
“Pakwaswele, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula ŵansalile jwakulolela masengo gao kuti, ‘Nkaaŵilanje ŵamasengo mwape malipilo gao, kutandila ŵa kumbesi mpaka ŵa kundanda.’
9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Nipele, ŵaiche ŵele ŵaŵapegwilwe masengo katema ka saa kumi na moja, jwalijose ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Ni ŵandanda ŵala paŵaiche ŵaganichisye kuti chapochele yakupunda, nambo nombe ŵanyawo ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza yalumo ni achinjao.
11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Paŵapochele mbiya syao, ŵatandite kwasongonechela asyene ngunda ŵala.
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.
Ŵatite, ‘Aŵaŵa ŵaŵapele masengo kumbesi apangenye masengo kwa katema ka lisaa limo pe, kwachichi ntulipile yalumo ni ŵanyaŵa akuno uweji tupililile masengo gakulimba muusi wose ni lyuŵa lili nkuŵala?’
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
“Pelepo nsyene ngunda jula ŵanjanjile jumo jwao kuti, ‘Ambusanga, ngangummonela! Ana nganitulangana none kwa malipilo ga chipande chimo cha madini ga feza?
14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Njigale chichili chenu, njaule kumangwenu. Ngunonyelwa kumpa aju junampele masengo kumbesi yalumo ni mmwe.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Uli, ngangusachilwa kutenda indu ingunonyelwa nkati yose ingwete? Ana nkukola wiwu pakuŵa une ndili jwambone?’”
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kwa kusala, “Iyoyo ŵaali ŵambesi chachiŵa ŵandanda ni ŵaali ŵandanda chachiŵa ŵambesi.”
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Che Yesu paŵaliji nkukwela kwaula ku Yelusalemu, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, paŵaliji nkwenda mwitala, peuto pangali ŵandu ŵane, ŵaasalile,
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,
“Nnole! Tukwaula ku Yelusalemu, ni kwele Mwana jwa Mundu chakatajikwe mmakono mwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, nombewo chalamulikwe aulajikwe.
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.
Chakampeleche kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi apate kuntendela chanache ni kumputa mbokola ni kwaŵamba pa nsalaba ni pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chachisyuka.”
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.
Nipele achikulu ŵa ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo ŵaichile Che Yesu, pamo ni achiŵanagwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kwaŵenda chindu.
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.
Che Yesu ŵammusisye, “Chichi nkusaka?” Ŵatite, “Choonde nlanje kuti mu umwenye wenu, achiŵanangu ŵaŵili ŵa chatame, jumo kundyo kwenu ni jwine kunchiji kwenu.”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chiching'wele une?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.”
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.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Isyene chinng'welele chikombe changu cha masauko, nambo kutama kundyo ni kunchiji kwangu nganigaŵa masengo gangu nambo Akunnungu chachapa lipesa lyo ŵele ŵaŵakolochesye.”
24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
Nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵane likumi ŵala paŵapilikene gele, ŵatumbilile ŵaŵili wo.
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.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ni kwasalila, “Nkumanyilila kuti mamwenye ŵa ilambo akwalongosya ŵandu ŵao kwa machili, ni achakulu ŵao akwatenda ali ŵandu ŵao.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Nambo inaŵe yele kukwenu, nambo jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwamkulungwa kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe katumetume jwa wose.
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Ni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwaandanda kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe jwakutumichila jwenu.
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.
Iyoyopeyo, Mwana jwa Mundu nganaika kuti atumichilwe nambo kuti atumichile, ni kuutyosya umi wakwe kuti gaŵe malipilo kwa ligongo lya chiwombolo cha ŵandu ŵajinji.”
29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji nkutyoka ku Yeliko, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji nkwakuya.
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.
Nipele, ŵapali ŵangalola ŵaŵili uŵatemi mungulugulu litala, nombewo paŵapikene kuti Che Yesu ŵaliji nkupita pelepo, ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
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.
Mpingo wa ŵandu wakalipile ni kwasalila amyalale. Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya, achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Che Yesu ŵajimi, ŵaaŵilasile ni kwausya, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?”
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tukummenda gaunukuche meeso getu.”
34 So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵakolele chanasa, ŵakwaiye meeso gao ni papopo ŵakombwele kulola, ni ŵankuiye.
