Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
“Ufumu wakumwamba uli ngati mwini munda amene anapita mmawa kukalemba anthu aganyu kuti akagwire ntchito mʼmunda wake wa mpesa.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Anagwirizana kuwalipira dinari monga malipiro a tsiku limodzi ndipo anawatumiza mʼmunda wake wamphesa.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;
“Nthawi 9 koloko mmawa, anatulukanso naona ena atayimirira pa msika akungokhala.
4 and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Anawawuza kuti, ‘Inunso pitani mukagwire ntchito mʼmunda wanga wa mpesa, ndipo ndidzakulipirani malipiro oyenera.’
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Ndipo anapita. “Anatulukanso nthawi ya 12 koloko masana, ndi nthawi ya 3 koloko masananso nachita chimodzimodzi.
6 And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Nthawi ya 5 koloko madzulo anatulukanso ndipo anapeza enanso atangoyimirira. Anawafunsa kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani mukungoyimirira pano tsiku lonse osagwira ntchito?’
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
“Iwo anayankha kuti, ‘Chifukwa palibe munthu amene watilemba ganyu.’ “Iye anawawuza kuti, ‘Inunso pitani mukagwire ntchito mʼmunda wanga wa mpesa.’
8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
“Ndipo pofika madzulo, mwini munda wamphesa anayitana kapitawo wake nati, ‘Itana antchito ndipo uwapatse malipiro awo, kuyambira omalizira aja mpaka oyamba.’
9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
“Antchito amene anawalemba ganyu pa 5 koloko masana anafika ndipo aliyense analandira dinari.
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Ndipo atabwera kwa amene analembedwa poyamba anayembekezera kuti alandira zambiri. Koma aliyense wa iwo analandira dinari.
11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
Atalandira, anayamba kuderera kwa mwini mundayo.
12 saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
Iwo anati, ‘Anthu amene munawalemba pomalizira agwira ntchito ora limodzi, ndipo mwawafananitsa ndi ife amene tathyoka nayo ntchito ndi kutentha kwa dzuwa tsiku lonse.’
13 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
“Koma iye anamuyankha mmodzi wa iwo nati, ‘Bwenzi, ine sikuti sindinachite chilungamo. Kodi sunavomereze kuti ugwira ntchito ndi kulandira dinari?
14 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Tenga malipiro ako pita. Ndikufuna kumupatsa munthu amene ndinamulemba pomaliza mofanana ndi mmene ndakupatsira iwe.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Kodi ndilibe ufulu wochita zimene ndikufuna ndi ndalama zanga? Kapena ukuyipidwa chifukwa ndine wopereka mowolowamanja?’
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last.
“Momwemo omalizira adzakhala oyamba ndipo oyamba adzakhala omalizira.”
17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them,
Tsopano pamene Yesu ankapita ku Yerusalemu, anatengera pambali ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiriwo nati kwa iwo,
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
“Tikupita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo Mwana wa Munthu adzaperekedwa kwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo. Iwo adzamuweruza kuti aphedwe,
19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
ndipo adzamupereka kwa anthu a mitundu ina kuti amunyoze ndi kumukwapula ndi kumupachika. Pa tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa!”
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.
Amayi a ana a Zebedayo anabwera ndi ana ake kwa Yesu, nagwada pansi namupempha Iye.
21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.
Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani?” Amayiwo anati, “Lolani kuti ana anga awiriwa adzakhale mmodzi ku dzanja lanu lamanja ndi wina ku dzanja lanu lamazere mu ufumu wanu.”
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Simukudziwa chimene mukupempha. Kodi mungathe kumwera chikho chimene ndidzamwera Ine?” Iwo anayankha nati, “Inde tingathe.”
23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give, but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi mudzamwera chikho changa, koma kuti mudzakhale ku dzanja langa lamanja kapena lamazere si kwa Ine kupereka. Malo awa ndi a iwo amene anakonzeredweratu ndi Atate anga.”
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
Ophunzira khumi aja, anawapsera mtima abale awiriwo.
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Yesu anawayitana onse pamodzi nati, “Mukudziwa kuti olamulira a mitundu ina ali ndi mphamvu pa iwo, ndipo akuluakulu awo amawalamulira.
26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
Siziyenera kutero ndi inu. Mʼmalo mwake, aliyense amene akufuna kukhala wamkulu pakati panu akhale wotumikira wanu.
27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
Ndipo aliyense amene akufuna kukhala woyamba akhale kapolo wanu.
28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Momwenso Mwana wa Munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kudzatumikira, ndi kupereka moyo wake kukhala dipo la anthu ambiri.”
29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Pamene Yesu ndi ophunzira ake ankachoka ku Yeriko, gulu lalikulu la anthu linawatsata.
30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
Amuna awiri osaona anakhala mʼmbali mwa msewu, ndipo pamene anamva kuti Yesu akudutsa anafuwula kuti, “Ambuye, Mwana wa Davide, tichitireni chifundo!”
31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
Gulu la anthulo linawadzudzula iwo ndi kuwawuza kuti akhale chete, koma anafuwulitsabe kuti, “Ambuye, Mwana wa Davide, tichitireni chifundo!”
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?
Yesu anayima ndi kuwayitana ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Mukufuna ndikuchitireni chiyani?”
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Anamuyankha nati, “Ambuye, tikufuna tione!”
34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
Yesu anamva nawo chifundo ndipo anakhudza maso awo. Nthawi yomweyo anaona namutsata Iye.
