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.
Kay ang gingharian sa langit nahisama sa usa ka tag-iya sa yuta, nga milakaw sayo sa kabuntagon aron sa pagpangita sa mga magbubuhat alang sa iyang parasan.
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.
Human siya nagkauyon sa mga magbubuhat alang sa usa ka denaryo matag adlaw, gipadala niya sila ngadto sa iyang parasan.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
Milakaw siya pag-usab sa ikatulong takna ug nakita ang ubang magbubuhat nga nagtindog nga walay gibuhat didto sa merkado.
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].
Miingon siya ngadto kanila, 'Kamo usab, adto didto sa parasan, ug kung unsa nga sakto ihatag ko kaninyo.' Busa sila miadto aron sa pagbuhat.
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].
Milakaw siya pag-usab ug sa ika-unom nga takna ug sa ikasiyam nga takna, ug nagbuhat sa susama.
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?’
Sa makausa pa gayod sa ika-11 nga takna milakaw siya ug nakakaplag pa sa uban nga nagtindog nga walay gibuhat. Miingon siya ngadto kanila, 'Nganong nagtindog kamo dinhi nga walay gibuhat sa tibuok adlaw?'
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].
Miingon sila kaniya, 'Tungod kay walay nagpabuhat kanamo.' Miingon siya kanila, 'Kamo, usab, adto didto sa parasan.'
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.’
Sa dihang miabot na ang kagabhion, ang tag-iya sa parasan miingon sa iyang tigdumala, 'Tawaga ang mga magbubuhat ug bayari sila sa ilang mga suhol, sugod sa naulahi hangtod sa nauna.
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].
Sa dihang miabot ang mga magbubuhat nga nakabuhat sa ika-11 nga takna, ang matag usa kanila nakadawat ug usa ka denaryo.
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.
Sa dihang miabot ang unang magbubuhat, sila naghunahuna nga makadawat sila sa labaw pa, apan ang matag-usa kanila usab nakadawat ug usa ka denaryo.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Sa dihang nadawat na nila ang ilang mga suhol, nagbagulbol sila sa tag-iya sa katigayonan.
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!’
Sila miingon, 'Kining naulahi nga magbubuhat naggahin lamang ug usa ka oras sa pagbuhat, apan gihimo nimo sila nga patas kanamo, kami nga nagpas-an sa palas-anon sa tibuok adlaw ug sa makasunog nga kainit.'
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].
Apan ang tag-iya mitubag ug miingon sa usa kanila, 'Higala, wala ako makahimo kanimo ug sayop. Dili ba miuyon ka man kanako alang sa usa ka denaryo?
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].
Dawata kung unsa ang alang kanimo ug pauli na. Kalipay nako nga ihatag kini ngadto sa ulahing nakuha nga magbubuhat sama lamang kaninyo.
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]’”
Dili ba makataronganon alang kanako sa pagbuhat kung unsa ang akong pagbuot sa akong kaugalingong mga kabtangan? O ang inyong mga mata daotan ba tungod kay ako maayo?'
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].”
Busa ang naulahi mao ang mahiuna, ug ang nahiuna maulahi.”
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,
Samtang si Jesus mitungas sa Jerusalem, gidala niya ang Napulog ug duha sa daplin, ug didto sa dalan siya miingon ngadto kanila,
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}.
“Tan-awa, mitungas na kita sa Jerusalem, ug ang Anak sa Tawo itugyan ngadto sa mga pangulong pari ug sa mga eskriba. Hukman nila siya sa kamatayon
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.”
ug itugyan siya ngadto sa mga Gentil aron bugalbugalan nila siya, magbunal kaniya, ug maglansang kaniya sa krus. Apan sa ikatulo nga adlaw mabanhaw siya.”
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.
Unya ang inahan sa mga anak nga lalaki ni Zebede miadto kang Jesus uban ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki. Miyukbo siya sa atubangan niya ug nangayo ug butang gikan kaniya.
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.”
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “Unsa ang imong pangandoy? Siya miingon kaniya, “Pagmando nga kining duha nako ka anak nga lalaki makalingkod, ang usa sa imong tuo nga kamot, ug ang usa sa imong wala nga kamot, didto sa imong gingharian.”
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].”
Apan si Jesus mitubag ug miingon, “Wala kamo masayod kung unsa ang inyong gipangayo. Makahimo ba kamo sa pag-inom sa kupa nga akong pagaimnan?” Sila miingon kaniya, “Makahimo kami.”
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.”
Miingon siya kanila, “Makainom gayod kamo sa akong kupa. Apan sa paglingkod sa akong tuo nga kamot o sa akong wala nga kamot dili ako ang mohatag, apan alang niadtong giandaman nang daan sa akong Amahan.”
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].
Sa dihang nadungog kini sa ubang napulo ka disipulo nakadungog niini, wala gayod sila nahimuot sa duha ka managsoon.
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.
Apan gitawag sila ni Jesus ngadto kaniya ug miingon, “Nasayod kamo nga ang mga magmamando sa mga Gentil moulipon kanila, ug ang ilang mahinungdanong mga tawo naggamit sa ilang katungod nganha kanila.
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.
Apan dili kini ang pamaagi nganha kaninyo. Hinuon, si bisan kinsa nga buot molabaw taliwala kaninyo kinahanglan mahimo ninyong sulugoon.
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.
Ug si bisan kinsa nga buot mahiuna taliwala kaninyo kinahanglan mahimo ninyong sulugoon.
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]
Sama nga ang Anak sa Tawo wala mianhi aron alagaran, kondili aron sa pag-alagad, ug aron ihatag ang iyang kinabuhi ingon nga tubos alang sa kadaghanan.”
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Samtang mohawa na sila sa Jerico, ang dakong panon sa katawhan nagsunod kaniya.
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!”
Ug nakita nila ang duha ka buta nga tawo nga naglingkod sa daplin sa dalan. Sa dihang nadungog nila nga si Jesus moagi, sila misinggit ug miingon, “Ginoo, Anak ni David, kaloy-i kami”
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!”
Apan ang panon sa katawhan nagbadlong kanila, gisultihan sila nga mohilom. Apan, misinggit pa gayod sila sa makusog ug miingon, “Ginoo, Anak ni David, kaloy-i kami.”
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Unya si Jesus mihunong ug gitawag sila ug miingon, “Unsa ang buot ninyo nga akong buhaton alang kaninyo?”
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
Sila miingon kaniya, “Ginoo, nga ang among mata maablihan.”
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Unya si Jesus, natandog uban ang kaluoy, mihikap sa ilang mga mata. Dihadiha dayon sila nakadawat sa ilang panan-aw ug misunod kaniya.
