Matthew 20
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Khankhaw Pe cun capyit ngvawng taki khyang mat am tängki ni. Ngawi mat üng a ngvawnga nghlawh khaie a jah ngvah vai sui hüki.
2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mhnüp at üng tangka mat hlawhei khaia khyang he jah hmuh lü a capyit ngvawnga a jah tüih.
3 He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
Khawpyanga va cit hü lü ngnam k'uma amdanga veeikie jah va hmuh lü,
4 To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
“Nangmi pi ka capyit ngvawnga cit lü va nghlawh hnga ua, ka ning jah khyeng khai,” ti se, citkie.
5 Again he went out about noon and at three in the afternoon, and did likewise.
Naji xaleinghngih mhnüpngsung ja mkeng naji kthum üng va cit lü pi acukba bäa jah va hmuh lü a ngvawnga a jah nghlawhsak.
6 About five that afternoon he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
Acunüng naji mhma bang üng pi va cit hü lü amdamnga veeikie a jah hmuh üng, “Ivaia ahikba amdanga nami veeikie ni?” a ti.
7 "They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'
Acun he naw, “Jah ngvatki u am ve se va,” ami ti, acunüng ngvawngmah naw “Nangmi pi ngvawnga cit lü va nghlawh hnga ua” a ti.
8 When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'
Acunüng khaw a mü law üng, ngvawngmah naw a lo ngängki üng, “Nghlawhkie ami van jah khü lü, anghnu säih üng cutei lü akma säih üng dütkia kami ngkheng jah pea,” a ti.
9 "When those who were hired at about five in the afternoon came, they each received a denarius.
Acunüng, mülam naji mhma üng cuteikie cun law u lü, ami khüi khen tangka mat ci do lawki he.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
Khüi makie cun law u lü khawhah yah khai hea ngai u se pi acukba bäa tangka mat ci däk yah hngakie.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
Acukba tangka mat däk ci ami do law hnga üng ngvawngmaha veia mtai law u lü,
12 saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.'
“Anghnua lawki hine naji mat däk va khüikie, amhnüpa khawngling khamei lü kami khüikie am angteha na jah kheng,” ami ti.
13 "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
Ngvawngmah naw mat üng, “Ngaia ka püi, am ning mhlei nawng. Mhnüp mat khüi lü tangka mat hlawhei vai na jumki cen ta.”
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
Na ka ceh lü na ima cita. Hina anghnua lawki he üng pi nang üng ka pet kän ka pe hlüki.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'
Ka ngui cun kamäta ngjak hlüa am ka pawh thei khai aw? Käh ngvang na lü ka ning jah peta phäh na na mkeiki aw?
16 So the last will be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen."
Acunakyase, akmae hnu u lü, hnukie hma law khaie” a ti.
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,
Jesuh Jerusalem da cit lü axüisaw he xaleinghngih lam peia jah khü lü,
18 "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
“Ngai ua, Jerusalem da mi cit khai, acuia Khyanga Capa cun ktaiyü he ja thumksingea kut üng msuma kya khai. Amimi naw thi khaia mkatei khaie.
19 and will hand him over to the non-Jews to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."
Khyanga Capa cun yaihei u lü, kpai acun he, kutlamktung üng ami hnim vaia khyang mjü kce hea kut üng msum acun he. Acunüngpi amhnüp kthum üng tho be khai,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
Acunüng, Zebedea khyu, a cakpa xawi maha Jesuha veia lawki. A mkhuk üng ngdäng lü iyaw täeiki.
21 He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."
Jesuh naw, “I ja na ngjak hlü?” a ti. Nghnumi naw, “Hina ka cakpa xawi, Sangpuxanga na thawn law üng, mat na khet da, mat na kcawng da ngaw khai xawia bekhüt na pea,” a ti.
22 But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."
Jesuh naw, “I nami tä hman am ksing niki. Ka awk law vaia khawt, nani aw khawh khai aw? Baptican ka khan law vai, nani khan khawh khai aw?” ti se, “Ä, yah khai,” ani ti.
23 He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vaia khawt na awk khawh üng pi, ka khet da ja kcawng da nani ngawh vai cun keia xü thei am ni. Ahina ngawhnak cun ka Pa naw a jah xüea phäha kyaki ni,” a ti.
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Axüisawe xa naw ami ngjak üng, acuna ngbengna xawi cun jah thüinakie.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Jesuh naw axüisaw he alanga jah khü lü, “Nami ksinga mäiha, khyang mjü kce hea bawie cun khyang hea khana aktäa bawi u lü, aktäa ami ana sumeikie.”
26 It will not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.
Cunsepi, ahina mäih nangmi üng käh ve se, nangmi üngka mat a kyäp säih vai ngja hlüki ta nami mpyaa kya se.
27 And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave,
Nangmi üngka mat akma säih vai ngja hlüki ta nami mpyaa thawn se.
28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Khyanga Capa cun khyanga khüih vaia am law; khyang khüih lü a xünnak jah pe lü khyang khawkän jah thawng khaia a lawa mäiha, nami ve vai,” a ti.
29 As they went out from Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
Jesuh ja axüisaw he Jerikho mlüh üngka naw ami ceh üng khyangpänu naw jah läki he.
30 And look, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
Amikmüki nghngih lam peia ngawhki xawi naw Jesuh lam üng citki tia ani ngjak üng ngpyang ni lü, “Davita Capa, Bawipa aw, jah mpyeneia,” ti lü ngpyangki xawi.
31 The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
Khyangpänu naw käh ani ngpyang ti vaia jah mtheh u sepi, aksetama, “Davita Capa, Bawipa aw, jah mpyeneia,” ti lü ngpyang dämdämki xawi.
32 Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Jesuh naw ngdüi lü, “I ka ning jah pawh pet vai ni nani hlüei,” a ti.
33 They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
Anini naw, “Bawipa aw, kani mika vai be vai ngaih ve ning,” ani ti.
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
Jesuh naw jah mpyenei lü ani mik a jah hneh pet. Acunja ani mik vai law be se, Jesuh läki xawi.
