< 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.
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mundu jwaali ni ngunda wa sabibu, juŵatyosile kundaŵi pe kukwaŵika ŵandu ŵakulima mu ngunda wao.
2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius 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 He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
Ŵatyosile saa tatu kundaŵi, ŵaweni ŵane ŵangali ni masengo ali ajimi pakusumichisya malonda.
4 To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
Ŵaasalile, ‘Njende ni ŵanyamwe ku ngunda wa sabibu, none chinanlipe.’
5 Again he went out about noon and at three in the afternoon, and did likewise.
Nipele, ŵapite. Asyene ngunda ŵala ŵatyosile sooni saa sita ni saa tisa, ŵatesile iyoyo.
6 About five that afternoon he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all 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 said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'
Ŵajanjile, ‘Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwatupele masengo.’ Nombejo ŵaasalile, ‘Njaule ni ŵanyamwe nkapanganye masengo ku ngunda wa sabibu.’
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.'
“Pakwaswele, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula ŵansalile jwakulolela masengo gao kuti, ‘Nkaaŵilanje ŵamasengo mwape malipilo gao, kutandila ŵa kumbesi mpaka ŵa kundanda.’
9 "When those who were hired at about five in the afternoon came, they each received a denarius.
Nipele, ŵaiche ŵele ŵaŵapegwilwe masengo katema ka saa kumi na moja, jwalijose ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
Ni ŵandanda ŵala paŵaiche ŵaganichisye kuti chapochele yakupunda, nambo nombe ŵanyawo ŵapochele chipande chimo cha madini ga feza yalumo ni achinjao.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
Paŵapochele mbiya syao, ŵatandite kwasongonechela asyene ngunda ŵala.
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.'
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, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
“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 which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
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 want to with what I own? Or is your 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 will be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen."
Nipele Che Yesu ŵamalichisye kwa kusala, “Iyoyo ŵaali ŵambesi chachiŵa ŵandanda ni ŵaali ŵandanda chachiŵa ŵambesi.”
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,
Che Yesu paŵaliji nkukwela kwaula ku Yelusalemu, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵao kumi na mbili, paŵaliji nkwenda mwitala, peuto pangali ŵandu ŵane, ŵaasalile,
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,
“Nnole! Tukwaula ku Yelusalemu, ni kwele Mwana jwa Mundu chakatajikwe mmakono mwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo, nombewo chalamulikwe aulajikwe.
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."
Chakampeleche kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi apate kuntendela chanache ni kumputa mbokola ni kwaŵamba pa nsalaba ni pa lyuŵa lyaatatu chachisyuka.”
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
Nipele achikulu ŵa ŵanache ŵa che Sebedayo ŵaichile Che Yesu, pamo ni achiŵanagwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kwaŵenda chindu.
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."
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, "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."
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila chinkuchiŵenda! Uli chinkombole kuching'welela chikombe cha masauko chiching'wele une?” Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Tukupakombola.”
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."
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 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Nombe ŵakulijiganya ŵane likumi ŵala paŵapilikene gele, ŵatumbilile ŵaŵili wo.
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.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ni kwasalila, “Nkumanyilila kuti mamwenye ŵa ilambo akwalongosya ŵandu ŵao kwa machili, ni achakulu ŵao akwatenda ali ŵandu ŵao.
26 It will not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.
Nambo inaŵe yele kukwenu, nambo jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwamkulungwa kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe katumetume jwa wose.
27 And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave,
Ni jwalijose jwakusaka kuŵa jwaandanda kukwenu akusachilwa aŵe jwakutumichila jwenu.
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."
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 As they went out from Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao paŵaliji nkutyoka ku Yeliko, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaliji nkwakuya.
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."
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 The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
Mpingo wa ŵandu wakalipile ni kwasalila amyalale. Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapundangenye kunyanyisya, achitiji, “Ambuje, Mwana ju che Daudi, choonde ntukolele chanasa!”
32 Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Che Yesu ŵajimi, ŵaaŵilasile ni kwausya, “Ana nkusaka nampanganyichisye ichichi?”
33 They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, tukummenda gaunukuche meeso getu.”
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵakolele chanasa, ŵakwaiye meeso gao ni papopo ŵakombwele kulola, ni ŵankuiye.
