Matthew 20
1 “[In order to illustrate how God rewards people], I will compare [the way] God [MTY/EUP] rules his people with what the owner of an estate [did]. Early in the morning the owner of the estate went to [the market] where [people who wanted work gathered]. He went there to hire laborers to work in his vineyard.
Kinin kipin tigo Kutellẹ masin unan kunen, ulenge na anuzu nin kwui dinding adi piziru anan katwa kunen me.
2 He promised the men whom he hired that he would pay them the standard wage [for working] one day. Then he sent them to his vineyards.
Na immala tijuana katwa we ko uyeme unit liyirinn me fisulai, a ta nani kunene.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
A kuru nuzu tutung kubi ni koro itat a yene among anan katwa yissing nkasua sa katwa.
4 He said to them, ‘Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there]. I will pay you whatever is a just [wage].’ [So they also went to his vineyard and began to work].
A do kiti mine a woro, 'Anan wang, can kunene, imon ilenge nan yene idi dort mma ni minu, inughe tunna inya udu katwa we.
5 At noon and at three o’clock he again went [to the market] and found [other laborers whom he promised to pay a fair wage].
Akuru a nuzu kubi nikoro kutocin nin nikoro kuti tutung, asa nan ghinu nane wang.
6 At five o’clock he went [to the market again] and saw other [men] standing [there who were not working]. He said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day and not working?’
Tutun akuru anuzu kubi nikoro likure nin firum ase amon yissinn sa katwa. A woro nani, 'Iyaghari nta iyissin kikane uworu kwui dinding sa katwa'
7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘[I will hire you]. Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there.’ So they went].
I woroghe, 'Na umong in yira nari katwa ba.' A woro nani, 'Anun, wang, can nan nya kunene.'
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Tell the men to come so that you can give them their wages. First, pay the men who started working last, and pay the men last who started working first.’
Na kuleleng nda unan kunene woro nnan yenju katwa we, 'Yicila anan katwa we uni nani uduk mine, cizinu kitin nnan dak kidunghe umalzin nin nan burnun dake.'
9 The [manager] paid the standard daily wage to each of the men who did not start working until five o’clock [in the afternoon].
Anan katwa we na ini yira nin nikoro likure nin firum da, ko uyeme mine sere fisule.
10 When the men who had begun working early [in the morning] went [to get their wages], they thought that they would receive more than the standard wage. But they also received only the standard wage.
Na anan burnun cizunu katwa we nda, i cisso inung ma seru gbarandan, inung wang ko uyema sere fisuule.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Na isese uduk mine, igbondulo kitene nnan kunene.
12 They said [to him], ‘[You are not being fair!] The men who started working after [all of the rest of us started] worked for [only] one hour! You have [paid] them the same [wage] as [you paid] us! But we worked hard [all] day [IDM], [including working in the] hottest part of the day!’
I woro, 'Anan katwa kidughe nta fikoro firumari cas katwawe, nani umini nna nane irume nan ghirik, arike nna ti juju nidowe bite nan nya liyirin nin gbagbai nwui.'
13 The owner of the vineyard said to one of those [who complained], ‘Friend, I did not treat you unfairly. You agreed with me [to work the whole day] for the standard wage [RHQ].
Unnare unan kunene kpana a woro nmong mine, 'Udondong, N nta minu kulapi ba. Naa tini su nan ghinu nan nya fisule ba?
14 [Stop complaining to me]! Take your wage and go! I desire to give the same wage that I gave you to the men who began working after all of you [had begun working].
Seren imon ilenge na nnare di inmine inyai ulanzun mmmang nighari nni anan yiru kidunghe irume nan ghinu.
15 I certainly have a right to [spend my money] as I desire [RHQ], [including paying those laborers what I desire to pay them]. (You should not be envious about my being generous!/Are you angry [MET] because I am generous?) [RHQ]’”
Na meng di nin likara nworu nsu imong ilenge na idi nin sue nin tamani nighe ba? Sa iyizi fe tifi uti lalapi bara na men di gegeme?
16 [Then Jesus said to us], “Similarly, [God will reward] well [some] people who [seem to be] less important now, and he will not reward [some] people who [seem to be] more important [now].”
Bara nani anan kidung bada so anan cizunu, anan cizunu so anan.”
17 When Jesus was walking [on the road] up to Jerusalem, [along with us] twelve [disciples], he took us to a place by ourselves [in order that he could talk to us privately]. Then he said to us,
Kubi na Yisa wa cinu ucindu Urshalima, awa yiru nono katwa me likure nin nan wabe ninghe, libau we a woro nani,
18 “Listen carefully! We are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there, someone] will enable the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws to seize [me], the one who came from heaven, [and they will put me on trial]. They will condemn me [and say] that I should be killed {the authorities should kill me}.
“Yenen ti din cinu udu Urshalima, ima nakpi usaun nnit nacara ndidya nin nan ninyerte kutin nlira. Ima sughe ushara nkul
19 [Then they] will put me in the hands of non-Jews so that they can make fun of me, whip me, [and kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], [God] will cause me to live again.”
ima nakpi ghe nacara na awurmi bara inan sughe liyakiti ishuru ghe, inin kotun ghe kitene kuca. Nan nya liyiri lin tatte ima fiughe.”
20 Then the mother of James and John brought her two sons to Jesus. She bowed down before Jesus and asked him to do her a favor.
Una nnonnon Zabede da kitin Yisa ligowe nin na saun ne. A tumuno nbunme aniin tiringhe imongmon.
21 Jesus said to her, “What do you want [me to do for you]?” She said to him, “Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you (OR, Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you at your right side and at your left side) [and rule with you] [MTY] when you become king.”
Yisa woro ghe, “Iyaghari udi nin su we?” A woro ghe, “Yinna nono nighe nibe se uso, unit urum ncara ulime fe, a unan be ncara ugul fe, nan nya kipin tigo fe.”
22 Jesus said to [her and her sons], “You do not understand what you are asking for. Can you suffer like I am about to suffer [IDM]?” [James and John] answered him, “Yes, we are able [to do that].”
Yisa kpana a woro, “Na uyiru imon ilenge na udin tirue ba. Anung wa sa isone nan nya kakkuk kanga na meng din cinu usonue?” Inung woro ghe, “Ti wa sa ti (sono).”
23 Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, you will suffer as I will suffer [IDM]. But I am not the one who chooses the ones who [will] sit next to me [and rule with me]. [God], my Father, will give those places [MTY] to the ones whom he appoints.”
A woro nani, “Kakkuk nin uma sonu. Amma ubelleng nso ncara ulime sa ncara ugule ning na unanghari na ma noi ba, uunna lenge na ucif nigghari nshirya.”
24 When we ten [other disciples] heard [what James and John had requested], we became angry with them [because we also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
Na kagisin nono katwa likure nlanza, ayi nana nani kang nin nuana ni be.
25 [So] Jesus called all of us together and said [to us], “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing them that they are powerful. Their chief rulers [enjoy] commanding the people under them.
Yisa yicila nani kitime a woro, “Iyiru ago nnawurmi din dursuani tigo, adidya mine tutung durso nani akara.
26 You [should] not be like them. On the contrary, everyone among you who wants [God to consider] him great must become [like] a servant for [the rest of] you.
Amma na uma yitu nani nan nya mine ba. Uma na so ulenge na adi nin su ayita udya nan nya mine uma so ghe gbas aso kucin mine.
27 And everyone among you who wants [God to consider him] to be the most important must become [like] a slave for [the rest of] you.
A ulenge na adi nin su ayita unan bun mine uma so ghe gbas a so kucin mine.
28 [You should imitate me]. [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I did not come to be served {in order that people would serve me}. On the contrary, I [came in order] to serve [others] and to [IDM] allow myself to be killed {other people to kill me}, so that [my dying would be like] a payment to rescue many [people from being punished for their sins].” [MTY]
Nafo na asaun nnitt na dak isu ghe licin ba, nani ame su nari licin, anin kuru ani ulai me imon kusere nanit gbardang.”
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Na iwa nuzu nan nyan Jericho, ligozi nanit gbardang dofinghe.
30 [As we walked along, we saw] two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they yelled [to him], “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Take pity on us!”
Ise aduu aba sosin kupo libau. Na i lanza Yisa din cinu ukatu, ita ntet i woro, “Cikilari, usaun Dauda, lanza nkune kune bite.”
31 [People in] the crowd scolded them [and] told them to be quiet. But the blind men yelled even louder, “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Have pity on us!”
Amma ligozie Kpada nani, i woro nnani i min tik. Nani ina kpina ughantinu tiwui mine i woro, “Cikilarri, usaun Dauda lanza nkune kune bit.”
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Yisa tunna ayisina ayicila nani a woro, “Iyaghari idin pizuru nsu minu?”
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
I woro ghe, “Cikilari, iyizi bite pun.”
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Yisa tunna, nkune kune kifo ghe nin ghinu, a dudo iyizii mine. Dedei ise uyenu kiti i dofin ghe.
