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.
Khankhaw Pe cun capyit ngvawng taki khyang mat am tängki ni. Ngawi mat üng a ngvawnga nghlawh khaie a jah ngvah vai sui hüki.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mhnüp at üng tangka mat hlawhei khaia khyang he jah hmuh lü a capyit ngvawnga a jah tüih.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;
Khawpyanga va cit hü lü ngnam k'uma amdanga veeikie jah va hmuh lü,
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.
“Nangmi pi ka capyit ngvawnga cit lü va nghlawh hnga ua, ka ning jah khyeng khai,” ti se, citkie.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Naji xaleinghngih mhnüpngsung ja mkeng naji kthum üng va cit lü pi acukba bäa jah va hmuh lü a ngvawnga a jah nghlawhsak.
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?
Acunüng naji mhma bang üng pi va cit hü lü amdamnga veeikie a jah hmuh üng, “Ivaia ahikba amdanga nami veeikie ni?” a ti.
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
Acun he naw, “Jah ngvatki u am ve se va,” ami ti, acunüng ngvawngmah naw “Nangmi pi ngvawnga cit lü va nghlawh hnga ua” a ti.
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.
Acunüng khaw a mü law üng, ngvawngmah naw a lo ngängki üng, “Nghlawhkie ami van jah khü lü, anghnu säih üng cutei lü akma säih üng dütkia kami ngkheng jah pea,” a ti.
9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Acunüng, mülam naji mhma üng cuteikie cun law u lü, ami khüi khen tangka mat ci do lawki he.
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Khüi makie cun law u lü khawhah yah khai hea ngai u se pi acukba bäa tangka mat ci däk yah hngakie.
11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
Acukba tangka mat däk ci ami do law hnga üng ngvawngmaha veia mtai law u lü,
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.
“Anghnua lawki hine naji mat däk va khüikie, amhnüpa khawngling khamei lü kami khüikie am angteha na jah kheng,” ami ti.
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?
Ngvawngmah naw mat üng, “Ngaia ka püi, am ning mhlei nawng. Mhnüp mat khüi lü tangka mat hlawhei vai na jumki cen ta.”
14 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Na ka ceh lü na ima cita. Hina anghnua lawki he üng pi nang üng ka pet kän ka pe hlüki.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Ka ngui cun kamäta ngjak hlüa am ka pawh thei khai aw? Käh ngvang na lü ka ning jah peta phäh na na mkeiki aw?
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last.
Acunakyase, akmae hnu u lü, hnukie hma law khaie” a ti.
17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them,
Jesuh Jerusalem da cit lü axüisaw he xaleinghngih lam peia jah khü lü,
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,
“Ngai ua, Jerusalem da mi cit khai, acuia Khyanga Capa cun ktaiyü he ja thumksingea kut üng msuma kya khai. Amimi naw thi khaia mkatei khaie.
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.
Khyanga Capa cun yaihei u lü, kpai acun he, kutlamktung üng ami hnim vaia khyang mjü kce hea kut üng msum acun he. Acunüngpi amhnüp kthum üng tho be khai,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.
Acunüng, Zebedea khyu, a cakpa xawi maha Jesuha veia lawki. A mkhuk üng ngdäng lü iyaw täeiki.
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.
Jesuh naw, “I ja na ngjak hlü?” a ti. Nghnumi naw, “Hina ka cakpa xawi, Sangpuxanga na thawn law üng, mat na khet da, mat na kcawng da ngaw khai xawia bekhüt na pea,” a ti.
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.
Jesuh naw, “I nami tä hman am ksing niki. Ka awk law vaia khawt, nani aw khawh khai aw? Baptican ka khan law vai, nani khan khawh khai aw?” ti se, “Ä, yah khai,” ani ti.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vaia khawt na awk khawh üng pi, ka khet da ja kcawng da nani ngawh vai cun keia xü thei am ni. Ahina ngawhnak cun ka Pa naw a jah xüea phäha kyaki ni,” a ti.
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
Axüisawe xa naw ami ngjak üng, acuna ngbengna xawi cun jah thüinakie.
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.
Jesuh naw axüisaw he alanga jah khü lü, “Nami ksinga mäiha, khyang mjü kce hea bawie cun khyang hea khana aktäa bawi u lü, aktäa ami ana sumeikie.”
26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
Cunsepi, ahina mäih nangmi üng käh ve se, nangmi üngka mat a kyäp säih vai ngja hlüki ta nami mpyaa kya se.
27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
Nangmi üngka mat akma säih vai ngja hlüki ta nami mpyaa thawn se.
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.
Khyanga Capa cun khyanga khüih vaia am law; khyang khüih lü a xünnak jah pe lü khyang khawkän jah thawng khaia a lawa mäiha, nami ve vai,” a ti.
29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Jesuh ja axüisaw he Jerikho mlüh üngka naw ami ceh üng khyangpänu naw jah läki he.
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.
Amikmüki nghngih lam peia ngawhki xawi naw Jesuh lam üng citki tia ani ngjak üng ngpyang ni lü, “Davita Capa, Bawipa aw, jah mpyeneia,” ti lü ngpyangki xawi.
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.
Khyangpänu naw käh ani ngpyang ti vaia jah mtheh u sepi, aksetama, “Davita Capa, Bawipa aw, jah mpyeneia,” ti lü ngpyang dämdämki xawi.
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?
Jesuh naw ngdüi lü, “I ka ning jah pawh pet vai ni nani hlüei,” a ti.
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Anini naw, “Bawipa aw, kani mika vai be vai ngaih ve ning,” ani ti.
34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
Jesuh naw jah mpyenei lü ani mik a jah hneh pet. Acunja ani mik vai law be se, Jesuh läki xawi.
