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.

Setshwantsho sengwe ke se se se tshwantshang Bogosi jwa Legodimo. “Mong wa tshimo o kile a phakela go ya go thapela tshimo ya gagwe ya thobo badiri.

2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

A dumalana go ba duela madi a tuelo ya letsatsi, hong a ba laela go ya go dira.

3 He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

“Morago ga dioura di se kae, o na a feta fa ntlong e go thapelwang batho teng mme a bona banna bangwe ba eme foo ba batla tiro,

4 To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.

jalo le bone a ba romela mo masimong a gagwe, a ba bolelela gore o tlaa ba duela fela se se ba tshwanetseng fa letsatsi le phirima.

5 Again he went out about noon and at three in the afternoon, and did likewise.

Mo motshegareng wa sethoboloko, le mo tshokologong e ka nna nako ya boraro a nna a tswelela ka go thapa badiri.

6 About five that afternoon he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'

“Ka nako ya botlhano mo go one maitseboa ao, a ya kwa motseng gape, mme a bona banna ba bangwe gape ba eme teng foo mme a ba botsa a re, ‘Ke eng fa lo ntse fela lo sa dire sepe letsatsi lotlhe?’

7 "They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'

Ba araba ba re, ‘Ke ka gore ga go ope yo o re thapileng’. Hong a ba raya a re, ‘tsamayang lo ye go tlatsa ba bangwe mo masimong a me.’

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.'

“Mo maitseboeng ao a raya radituelo wa gagwe a re a bitse banna bao a ba duele, a simolola pele ka banna ba bofelo.

9 "When those who were hired at about five in the afternoon came, they each received a denarius.

E rile fa banna ba ba thapilweng ka nako ya botlhano ba duelwa mongwe le mongwe wa bone o na a amogela madi a tuelo ya letsatsi.

10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

E rile fa banna ba ba thapilweng pele ba tla go tsaya a bone, ba ne ba ithaya ba re ba tlaa amogela go feta foo thata. Le bone ba ne ba duelwa madi a lekanang le a ba bangwe.

11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

“Ba ngongorega ba re, ‘Batho bale ba dirile lobaka lwa oura fela, le fa go ntse jalo a oba duetse jaaka rona ba re dirileng letsatsi lotlhe mo mogoteng o o fisang’.

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.'

13 "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

“Mme a araba mongwe wa bone aa re ‘Tsala, ga ke a go fosetsa ka gope! A o ne o sa dumalana go dira o duelwa tuelo ya letsatsi?

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.

A tseye o tsamaye. Ke keletso ya me go lo duela ka go lekana;

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?'

a go kgatlhanong le molao go ntsha madi a me fa ke batla go dira jalo? A o tshwanetse go kgotswa ka go bo ke le kutlwelobotlhoko?’

16 So the last will be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen."

Mme fela jalo, ba morago e tlaa nna ba ntlha, ba ntlha e tlaa nna ba morago.”

17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,

Mme ya re Jesu a le mo tseleng a ya Jerusalema, a tseela barutwa ba ba lesome le bobedi kwa thoko,

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,

mme a bua nabo ka ga se se tlaa mo diragalelang fa ba goroga. “Ke tlaa neelwa baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba Sejuda ba bangwe, mme ba tlaa nkatlholela loso.

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."

Me ba tlaa ntsenya mo diatleng tsa mmuso wa Roma, ke tlaa sotlwa ke bapolwa, mme e tlaa re mo letsatsing la boraro ke rule.”

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

Hong mmaagwe Jakobe le Johane bomorwa Sebede, a ba lere kwa go Jesu, a obama, a kopa thuso.

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."

Jesu a mmotsa a re “O batla ke go direlang?” Mme a fetola a re, “Mo Bogosing jwa gago, a o tlaa letla bomorwaake ba babedi go nna mo ditilong tse pedi go bapa le sa gago, yo mongwe ka fa letsogong la gago le legolo yo mongwe ka fa go la molema?”

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."

Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Ga o itse se o se lopang!” Mme a retologela kwa go Jakobe le Johane a ba botsa a re, “A lo nonofile go nwa mo senwelong se se boitshegang se ke tlaa tlogang kee nwa mo go sone?” Jalo ba fetola ba re, “Ee, re nonofile.”

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."

Mme a ba fetola a re, “Lo tlaa nwa mo go sone ruri. Mme ga ke na thata go bua gore ke mang yo o tlaa nnang mo ditilong go bapa le same. Maemo ao a beetswe batho ba Rre a ba tlhophang”.

24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

Barutwa ba bangwe ba ba lesome ba ne ba gakala fa ba utlwa ka go se Jakobe le Johane ba se lopileng.

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.

Mme Jesu a ba bitsa botlhe a ba raya a re, “Mo baheitaneng, dikgosi ke batho ba ba bogoma, mme le bagolwane ba ba ka fa tlase ga tsone, ba dipisa ba ba ka fa tlase ga bone.

26 It will not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.

Mme mo go lona go pharologanyo. Le fa e le mang mo go lona yo o batlang go nna moeteledipele, o tshwanetse go nna motlhanka wa lona.

27 And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave,

Mme fa o batla go nna kwa godimodimo, o tshwanetse go dira jaaka lekgoba.

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."

Mokgwa wa lona o tshwanetse go nna jaaka wa me, gonne nna Morwa Motho, ga ke a tlela go direlwa, fa e se go direla, le go ntshetsa ba le bantsi botshelo jwa me go nna thekololo.”

29 As they went out from Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

E rile Jesu le barutwa ba tswa mo motseng wa Jeriko, bontsintsi jwa batho jo bogolo jwa ba sala morago.

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."

Banna ba le babedi ba difofu ba ne ba ntse fa thoko ga tsela mme e rile fa ba utlwa gore Jesu o e tla ba simolola go goa ba re, “Morena, Morwa Dafide, re utlwele botlhoko!”

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."

Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa ba raya jwa re ba didimale, mme ba goela godimo go gaisa pele.

32 Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

E rile a tla fa difofu di neng di le teng a ema mo tseleng a botsa a re, “Lo batla ke lo direlang?” Mme ba fetola ba re, “Morena re batla go bona!”

33 They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

Jesu a ba utlwela botlhoko a ama matlho a bone. Mme ya re gone fela foo ba foufologa, ba mo sala morago.
