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.
"Sillä taivasten valtakunta on perheenisännän kaltainen, joka varhain aamulla lähti ulos palkkaamaan työmiehiä viinitarhaansa.
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.
Ja kun hän oli sopinut työmiesten kanssa denarista päivältä, lähetti hän heidät viinitarhaansa.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
Ja hän lähti ulos kolmannen hetken vaiheilla ja näki toisia seisomassa torilla joutilaina;
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].
ja hän sanoi heille: 'Menkää tekin minun viinitarhaani, ja mikä kohtuus on, sen minä annan teille'.
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].
Niin he menivät. Taas hän lähti ulos kuudennen ja yhdeksännen hetken vaiheilla ja teki samoin.
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?’
Ja kun hän lähti ulos yhdennentoista hetken vaiheilla, tapasi hän vielä toisia siellä seisomassa; ja hän sanoi heille: 'Miksi seisotte täällä kaiken päivää joutilaina?'
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].
He sanoivat hänelle: 'Kun ei kukaan ole meitä palkannut'. Hän sanoi heille: 'Menkää tekin minun viinitarhaani'.
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.’
Mutta kun ilta tuli, sanoi viinitarhan herra tilansa hoitajalle: 'Kutsu työmiehet ja maksa heille palkka, viimeisistä alkaen ensimmäisiin asti'.
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].
Kun nyt tulivat ne, jotka olivat saapuneet yhdennentoista hetken vaiheilla, saivat he kukin denarin.
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.
Ja kun ensimmäiset tulivat, luulivat he saavansa enemmän; mutta hekin saivat kukin denarin.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Kun he sen saivat, napisivat he perheen isäntää vastaan
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!’
ja sanoivat: 'Nämä viimeiset ovat tehneet työtä vain yhden hetken, ja sinä teit heidät meidän vertaisiksemme, jotka olemme kantaneet päivän kuorman ja helteen'.
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].
Niin hän vastasi eräälle heistä ja sanoi: 'Ystäväni, en minä tee sinulle vääryyttä; etkö sopinut minun kanssani denarista?
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].
Ota omasi ja mene. Mutta minä tahdon tälle viimeiselle antaa saman verran kuin sinullekin.
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]’”
Enkö saa tehdä omallani, mitä tahdon? Vai onko silmäsi nurja sentähden, että minä olen hyvä?'
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].”
Näin viimeiset tulevat ensimmäisiksi ja ensimmäiset viimeisiksi."
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,
Ja kun Jeesus lähti kulkemaan ylös Jerusalemiin, otti hän ne kaksitoista erilleen ja sanoi matkalla heille:
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}.
"Katso, me menemme ylös Jerusalemiin, ja Ihmisen Poika annetaan ylipappien ja kirjanoppineitten käsiin, ja he tuomitsevat hänet kuolemaan
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.”
ja antavat hänet pakanoille pilkattavaksi ja ruoskittavaksi ja ristiinnaulittavaksi, ja kolmantena päivänä hän on nouseva ylös".
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.
Silloin Sebedeuksen poikain äiti tuli poikineen hänen tykönsä ja kumarsi häntä, aikoen anoa häneltä jotakin.
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.”
Niin hän sanoi vaimolle: "Mitä tahdot?" Tämä sanoi hänelle: "Sano, että nämä minun kaksi poikaani saavat istua, toinen sinun oikealla ja toinen vasemmalla puolellasi, sinun valtakunnassasi".
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].”
Mutta Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi: "Te ette tiedä, mitä anotte. Voitteko juoda sen maljan, jonka minä olen juova?" He sanoivat hänelle: "Voimme".
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.”
Hän sanoi heille: "Minun maljani te tosin juotte, mutta minun oikealla ja vasemmalla puolellani istuminen ei ole minun annettavissani, vaan se annetaan niille, joille minun Isäni on sen valmistanut".
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].
Kun ne kymmenen sen kuulivat, närkästyivät he näihin kahteen veljekseen.
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.
Mutta Jeesus kutsui heidät tykönsä ja sanoi: "Te tiedätte, että kansojen ruhtinaat herroina niitä hallitsevat, ja että mahtavat käyttävät valtaansa niitä kohtaan.
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.
Näin älköön olko teillä keskenänne, vaan joka teidän keskuudessanne tahtoo suureksi tulla, se olkoon teidän palvelijanne,
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.
ja joka teidän keskuudessanne tahtoo olla ensimmäinen, se olkoon teidän orjanne;
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]
niinkuin ei Ihmisen Poikakaan tullut palveltavaksi, vaan palvelemaan ja antamaan henkensä lunnaiksi monen edestä."
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Ja heidän lähtiessään Jerikosta seurasi häntä suuri kansan paljous.
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!”
Ja katso, kaksi sokeaa istui tien vieressä; ja kun he kuulivat, että Jeesus kulki ohitse, huusivat he sanoen: "Herra, Daavidin poika, armahda meitä".
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!”
Niin kansa nuhteli heitä saadakseen heidät vaikenemaan; mutta he huusivat sitä enemmän sanoen: "Herra, Daavidin poika, armahda meitä".
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Silloin Jeesus seisahtui ja kutsui heidät tykönsä ja sanoi: "Mitä tahdotte, että minä teille tekisin?"
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
He sanoivat hänelle: "Herra, että meidän silmämme aukenisivat".
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Niin Jeesuksen tuli heitä sääli, ja hän kosketti heidän silmiänsä, ja kohta he saivat näkönsä ja seurasivat häntä.
