Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like an employer who went out in the early morning to hire laborers for his vineyards.
“Tokosrai lun kusrao uh ouinge: ac oana sie mwet kacto ma toang na oatula ke lotutang in konauk kutu mwet in orekma ke ima in grape lal.
2 He agreed with the laborers to pay them the standard daily rate of two silver coins, and sent them into his vineyard.
Elos insese elan moli nu selos ipin silver se ke len se, fal nu ke molo se orek in pacl sac, na el supwalosla nu in ima lal.
3 On going out again, about nine o’clock, he saw some others standing in the marketplace, doing nothing.
Ke ao eu ke lotu sacna, el sifilpa folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh, ac konauk kutu pac mwet su tu we ac wangin ma oru.
4 ‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you what is fair.’
Na el fahk nu selos, ‘Kowos som ac wi pac orekma in ima in grape uh, ac nga fah moli nu suwos ke sie moul fal.’
5 So they went. Going out again about midday and about three o’clock, he did as before.
Na elos som. Ac ke ao singoul luo ac ao tolu, el sifilpa som ac oru oana ma el oru meet ah.
6 When he went out about five, he found some others standing there, and said to them ‘Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?’
Apkuran nu ke ao limekosr ke ekela, el sifil folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh ac sifilpa liyauk kutu mwet tu we, ac el fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos muta wel len fon se inge?’
7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. ‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said.
Na elos fahk, ‘Wangin mwet srukkutyak in orekma.’ Na el fahk, ‘Fin ouingan, kowos som wi orekma ke ima in grape ah.’
8 In the evening the owner of the vineyard said to his steward ‘Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.’
“Ke ekela, mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin mwet karingin mwet orekma uh, ‘Pangonma mwet orekma ac moleang orekma lalos, mutawauk kaclos su tuku oetok nwe ke mwet ma tuku oemeet.’
9 Now when those who had been hired about five o’clock went up, they received two silver coins each.
Na kais sie mwet ma mutawauk orekma ke ao limekosr ke eku, elos eis ipin silver se.
10 So, when the first went up, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received two silver coins each;
Ouinge ke mwet ma mutawauk oemeet in orekma elos tuku in eis molin orekma lalos, elos nunku mu ac yohk ma elos ac eis; tusruktu elos eis pacna kais sie ipin silver.
11 at which they began to grumble at their employer.
Elos eis mani lalos ac mutawauk in torkaskas lain mwet kacto sac
12 ‘These last,’ they said, ‘have done only one hour’s work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day’s work, and the heat.’
ac fahk, ‘Mwet ma touyak oetok inge elos orekma ke ao sefanna, a kut orekma len fon se ye faht uh, ac kom moli nu selos oana ke kom moli nu sesr!’
13 ‘My friend,’ was his reply to one of them, ‘I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me for two silver coins?
Na mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin sie selos, ‘Mwet kawuk, porongeyu. Nga tiana kutasrik nu sum. Kom tuh insese in orekma len fon se ke ipin silver se na.
14 Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.
Inge kom eis mani lom an ac folokla nu lohm sum. Nga lungse sang nu sin mwet se ma tuku oetok inge lupa se na ma nga sot nu sum ah.
15 Don’t I have the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am generous?’
Ya tia ma luk in sulela ma nga ac oru ke mani luk sifacna? Ya kom loloik mweyen nga oru wo nu selos?’”
16 So those who are last will be first, and the first last.”
Na Jesus el fahk, “Ouinge, elos su tok ac fah meet, ac elos su meet ac fah tok.”
17 When Jesus was on the point of going up to Jerusalem, he gathered the twelve disciples around him by themselves, and said to them as they were on their way,
Ke Jesus el ututyak nu Jerusalem, el srela mwet tumal lutlut ac kaskas nu selos inkanek uh
18 “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death,
ac fahk, “Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, ac Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh. Elos ac fah wotela elan misa,
19 and give him up to the Gentiles for them to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and on the third day he will rise.”
na elos fah eisalang nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, srunglul, ac unilya fin sakseng soko. Tusruktu ke len se aktolu el ac fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.”
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favor.
In pacl sac, mutan kial Zebedee el tuku nu yurin Jesus, wi wen luo natul. El epasrla ye mutal ac fahk lah oasr ma el ke siyuk.
21 “What is it that you want?” he asked. “I want you to say,” she replied, “that in your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left.”
Ac Jesus el fahk, “Mea kom lungse?” Na nina sac fahk, “Wulema nu sik lah wen luo nutik inge ac fah muta, sie lac poum layot ac sie lac poum lasa, ke kom ac tokosrala uh.”
22 “You do not know what you are asking,” was Jesus’ answer. “Can you drink the cup that I am to drink?” “Yes,” they exclaimed, “we can.”
Na Jesus el fahk nu sin tamulel sac, “Komtal tia etu ma komtal siyuk an. Ya komtal ac ku in nim ke cup in keok se ma nga akola in nim kac?” Ac eltal fahk, “Kut ku.”
23 “You will indeed drink my cup,” he said, “but as to a seat at my right and at my left – that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
Na Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah komtal ac nim kac, tusruktu tia ma luk in fahk lah su ac muta layot ac lasa sik. Acn inge ma sin mwet su Papa tumuk El akoela nu se.”
24 On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.
Ke mwet tumal lutlut singoul saya elos lohng ma inge, elos arulana kasrkusrak sin tamulel sac.
25 Jesus, however, called the ten to him, and said, “The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them as you know, and their high officials oppress them.
Ouinge Jesus el pangnoloseni ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos etu lah mwet kol lun mwet pegan uh lungse na sapsap nu fin mwet lalos, ac mwet leum uh elos akkalemye lah ku nukewa oasr selos.
26 Among you it is not so.
Tusruktu, ac fah tia ouinge yuruwos. Sie suwos fin ke elan fulat inmasrlowos, el enenu in mwet kulansap lowos;
27 No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to take the first place among you, must be your slave;
ac sie suwos fin lungse in el emeet, enenu elan mwet foko lowos,
28 just as the Son of Man came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
oana ke Wen nutin Mwet el tia tuku in tuh kulansupweyuk el, a tuh elan sie mwet kulansap, ac sang moul lal in molela mwet puspis.”
29 As they were going out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som liki acn Jericho, oasr sie un mwet na yohk fahsr tokolos.
30 Two blind men who were sitting by the roadside, hearing that Jesus was passing, called out, “Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!”
Mwet kun luo su muta sisken innek uh lohng lah Jesus el fahsr in alukeltalla, na eltal wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sesr!”
31 The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder, “Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!”
Mwet in u sac elos mulat nu seltal ac fahk eltal in koasrlong. A eltal wowoyak yohk liki meet ac fahk, “O Leum, Wen nutin David! Pakomutasr!”
32 Then Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he said.
Jesus el tui, ac pangnoltal ac siyuk, “Mea komtal lungse ngan oru nu sumtal?”
33 “Master,” they replied, “we want our eyes to be opened.”
Ac eltal fahk, “Leum, oru tuh kut in ku in liye!”
34 So Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight, and followed him.
Jesus el pakomutaltal ac kahlye mutaltal. In pacl sacna eltal ku in liye, ac eltal fahsr tokol.
