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.
“Rangmong hasong ah arah likhiik. Saasiit mih wasiit ih rangkhano di heh potiik tong moot suh lakbiitte jamsun kata.
2 He agreed with the laborers to pay them the standard daily rate of two silver coins, and sent them into his vineyard.
Heh ih lakbi thaang ah ngunkholok loosiit heh sa doh kotheng ih baat rum ano, heh phekmoot daapkaat rumta.
3 On going out again, about nine o’clock, he saw some others standing in the marketplace, doing nothing.
Heh thaangsang theng ni kaattiktom saapak akhuh di kah adi heh ih mih tumchap ruh ete japtupta,
4 ‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you what is fair.’
eno baat rumta, ‘sen nep nga phek nah potiik tong roongmoot kah an, ngah ih saasiit lakbi thaang koh et rumha.’
5 So they went. Going out again about midday and about three o’clock, he did as before.
Eno karumta. Erah lidi rangnithung saapoot asih nyi di nyia saasong saapoot ejom di nep heh ih mih emamah et daapkaat rumta.
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?’
Kaandang ko saapoot banga di, heh thaangsang theng ni we kah adi uh emamah mih tumchap ruh eah rah we tupta. ‘Sen aadi nitang ih tumjih uh lare thang ih tumte thaaba lan?’ heh ih cheng rumta.
7 ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. ‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said.
Seng biite o uh amuk,’ neng ih ngaakbaatta. ‘Ese, erah ang abah sen uh nga potiik tong ah roongmoot kah an.’ heh ih baat rumta.
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.’
“Rangjaako di, changte ih heh laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Phek mootte loong ah lompoon uno neng lakbi thaang ah korum uh, lithoon ih kaatte dowa phang korum uno jaakhothoon ih kaatte asuh lithoon et koh uh.’
9 Now when those who had been hired about five o’clock went up, they received two silver coins each.
Rangsa kaandang angta tokdi kaatte loong asuh ngunkholok loosiit ru et korum uh.
10 So, when the first went up, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received two silver coins each;
Erah thoidi rangkhano di kaatte loong ah thok rumha no, neng ih seng bah ehan ih chotte ih thun rumta; ang abah uh neng suh uh ngunkholok loosiit ru et korumta.
11 at which they began to grumble at their employer.
Eno neng ih ngun ah thaang rum ano changte wah ah joobaat rumta.
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.’
‘Neng ame jeng rumta, arah miloong ah lithoondi saapootsiit luulu ba mothukta, seng ah nitang saakhaam adi mootti, ang abah uh an ih seng suh kohali thanthan korum hu nih!’
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?
“‘Nga joonwah loong boichaat an, changte ih wasiit asuh liita, ‘Ngah ih sen tamokwaan rumra, sen suh saasiit lakbi ngunkholok loosiit kottheng ih waanti ah ekot et rumhala.
14 Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.
Amah ih sen lakbi ngun ah thaang ano nok nah wang an. Ngah ih lithoon ih ra taha loong asuh sen thanthan et kotsuh nooklang.
15 Don’t I have the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am generous?’
Ngah ngun ah nga thungthung ih tanih jen maak kang? Adoleh sen ih nga thungpun lam ih kohang asuh tam siikhaam han?’”
16 So those who are last will be first, and the first last.”
Eno Jisu ih thoonbaat rumta, “Erah raangtaan ih o mina liwang thoon angla rah jaakhoh ih hoon ah, eno o jaakhoh thoon angte rah liwang thoon ih hoon ah.”
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,
Jisu Jirusalem ko ih chookwang adi, lam ni asih wanyi heliphante loong ah hiiksiit rum ano husah tiit baat rumta.
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,
“Boichaat an,” “Seng ah Jirusalem ni chookwangli, eno erah nah Mina Sah ah romwah phokhoh nyia Hootthe nyootte loong lak nah jokoh rum ah. Neng ih kaanju ano tek haat rum ah
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.”
eno Ranglajatte loong lak nah korum ah, neng ih ngitkhuung rum ah, ruh ih nep buh rum ah, eno bangphak nah tek haat rum ah, enoothong sa jom lidoh we ngaaksaat eah.”
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favor.
Eno Jebidi nusah heh sah miwasah nyi ah siit ano wang taha, eno heh lathong ni kotbon ano heh raangtaan ih re thuk suh, Jisu lasih ah jota.
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.”
“An tumjih suh nook uh?” Jisu ih chengta. Minuh rah ih ngaakbaatta, “An ih kakham hang, nga sah miwah sah nyia ah an luungwang ang udoh esiit ah dak hekko, esiit ah jaawah ko ih tongthuk 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.”
“Set ih tumjih suh hansih erah tajat kansih,” nyi suh liita. “Ngah ih marah chamchoh khap dowa jok ang erah ejen roong jok ni et hansih?” “Ejen roong jok heetih,” nyi ih ngaakbaatta.
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.”
“Jisu ih li nyuuta, setnyi eh ejen roong jok mok et hansih, “enoothong ngah dak hek jaawah o roong tongha erah ngah ih tajen dandje nyuura. Erah bah seng Wah ih o suh ban hoonha erah ba chotong ah.”
24 On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.
Heliphante wah asih loong ih erah chaat rum ano, soophonyi asuh rapne ih khah rumta.
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.
Erah thoidi Jisu ih loongtang lompoon rum ano baat rumta, “Sen ih jat ehan ranglajatte mina loong pante adi jaatrep chaan jeela, eno mihak phokhoh loong adi jirep chaan aphaan jeela.
26 Among you it is not so.
Erah bah uh, sen loong chamchi nah bah lah angjih. Sendung dowa o ih bah uh elong hoon tenthun ang anbah, wahoh laksuh jaatjaat chaak angjih;
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;
adoleh sendung dowa jaakhoh angsuh thunte je anbah, sen ah wahoh dah elang jaatjaat eejih—
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.”
Mina Sah ah botseh mootkaat thuk suh tara taha, erah nang ih heteewah ah moh suh nyia mina hantek puipang suh ra taha.”
29 As they were going out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
Jisu nyi heliphante loong Jeriko nawa dokkhoom rum adi, miloong hantek roong phankhoom rumta.
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!”
Edook wanyi lamkaang ni tong nyuutta wanyi ah ih Jisu daankhoom ah chaat nyu ano, toonriing nyuuta, “Dewid sah! Sek ah minchan we heetih.
31 The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder, “Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!”
Miloong ih nyi ah kanja rum ano suusu ih tong suh baat rumta. Ang abah uh nyi ah erong rongwah ih boot riing nyuuta, “Dewid sah! Chuupha, Sek ah minchan weehe tih!”
32 Then Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he said.
Jisu ih tangchap ano poon nyuuta. “Ngah ih set suh tumjih jen re konyu ha?” heh ih cheng nyuuta.
33 “Master,” they replied, “we want our eyes to be opened.”
“Chuupha,” sek mik kaasiit jamhiitih!”
34 So Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight, and followed him.
Jisu heh minchan ah dong ano nyi mik adi taajota; erah damdam nyi ih laantup ruh ih nyuuta, eno roong phankhoom nyuuta.
