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.
“Xoossaa kawotethay ba woyniya giddon oosanchchota kera oosisanaw wontta guura keyida keethaawa daanees.
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.
I he oosanchchotas hachchi hachchi issi dinaare qanxanaw enttara giigidi, entta ba woyniya giddo yeddis.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
“Qassi wonttafe heedzu saate gidishin keyidi ooso dhayidi giya bolla eqida hara asata demmis.
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].
I enttako, ‘Hintteka ta woyniya giddo bidi oothite, taani hinttew bessiya gatiya qanxana’ yaagis.
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].
Enttika bidosona. Qassika I usuppun saateninne uddufun saaten keyidi hessada oothis.
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?’
Tammanne issi saate gidishin I keyaa wode harati yan eqqidayssata demmidi, ‘Hintte ooso oothonna gallas kumethi hayssan ays eqqidi pee7idetii?’ yaagis.
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].
“Entti zaaridi, ‘Nuna kera oosisiya asi dhayida gishossa’ yaagidosona. “Ikka, ‘Hintteka ta woyniya giddo bidi oothite’ yaagis.
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.’
“Sa7i omarssin, woyniya goday oosanchchota halaqaakko, ‘Oosanchchota xeegada wurssethan ooso gelidayssatappe doomada koyro gelidayssata gakkanaw entta gatiya qanxa’ yaagis.
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].
Tammanne issi saaten ooso oykkidayssati yidi, huu7en huu7en issi issi dinaare ekkidosona.
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.
Koyro ooso oykkidayssati yidi, banttaw daro imettana gidi qoppidosona. Shin enttika huu7en huu7en issi issi dinaare ekkidosona.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Bantta miishiya ekki simmidi keethaawa bolla zuuzummidosona.
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!’
‘Hayssati guyeppe yidi issi saate xalaala oothidosona. Shin gallas kumethi awa suulan daaburidi pee7ida nuura entti waanidi issino gidoona’ yaagidosona.
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].
“Woyniya keethaaway oosanchchotappe issuwako, ‘Ta ishaw, taani nena qohabikke; ne taara giigiday issi dinaaressa gidennee?
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].
Ne miishiya ekkada ne soo ba. Ta omarssi yidayssaskka neyssa mela immanaw koyays.
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]’”
Taani ta miishiyan koyidabaa oothanaw taw maati baawe? Woykko taani keeha gidida gisho neeni qanaatay?’ yaagis.
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].”
“Hessada ha77i dethan guye gididayssati sinthatana, sinthattidayssati qassi guyetana” yaagis.
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,
Yesuusi Yerusalaame bishe, tammanne nam77u tamaareta dumma gaxa kessidi enttako yaagis:
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}.
“Be7ite, nuuni ha77i Yerusalaame buussa bolla de7oos. Yan Asa Na7ay kahine halaqatasinne higge asttamaaretas aadhdhi imettana. Enttika iya bolla hayqo pirdda pirddana.
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.”
Iya Ayhude gidonna deriyas aathi immana. Entti iya kawushshana, garaafana, yaatidi iya masqaliya bolla kaqqana. Shin I heedzantho gallas hayqoppe denddana” yaagis.
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.
He wode Zabdiyoosa machchiya ba nam77u adde naytara Yesuusakko yada, iya sinthan gulbbatada issibaa iya woossasu.
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.”
Yesuusi iikko, “Ne ay koyay?” yaagis. Iya zaarada, “Ne kawotethan ha ta nam77u nayti issoy ne ushachchan issoy ne haddirssan utto garkkii!” yaagasu.
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].”
Shin Yesuusi naytakko zaaridi, “Hintte ay woossiyako erekketa; taani uyanaw de7iya waaye xuu7aa uyanaw dandda7etii?” yaagis. Enttika, “Ee dandda7os” yaagidosona.
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.”
Yesuusi, “Tumakka taani uyanaw de7iya xuu7appe hintte uyana. Shin ta ushachchaninne haddirssan uttanayssata doorey tana gidikke. He bessay imetey, ta aaway immanaw giigisida asatassa” yaagis.
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].
Attida tammu iya tamaareti hessa si7ida wode nam77u ishata bolla hanqettidosona.
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.
Shin Yesuusi entta ubbaa xeegidi hayssada yaagis. “Ayhude gidonna asaa haareyssati bantta asaa bolla godateyssanne entta kaaletheyssati wolqqan haareyssa hintte ereeta.
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.
Shin hintte giddon hessada gidoppo. Hinttefe gitatanaw koyaa oonikka hinttew aylle gido.
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.
Hintte giddon ubbaafe bolla gidanaw koyaa oonikka hinttew aylle gidanaw bessees.
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]
Hessadakka, Asa Na7ay ase haggaazanawunne daro asaa wozanaw ba shemppuwa immanaw yisippe attin asan haggaazetanaw yibeenna” yaagis.
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Hessafe guye, Yesuusi ba tamaaretara Iyaarkkofe keyidi bishin, daro asay enttana kaallidosona.
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!”
Oge gaxan uttida nam77u qooqeti Yesuusi yaara aadhdheyssa si7idi, “Godaw, Dawite Na7aw, nuus qadhettarkii” yaagidi waassidosona.
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!”
Daro asay enttana, “Hayzite” yaagidi kaccidosona. Shin entti, “Godaw, Dawite na7aw, nuus qadhettarkii” gidi gujji waassidosona.
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Yesuusi eqqidi, entta xeegidi, “Ta hinttew ay oothana mela koyeetii?” yaagidi oychchis.
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
Enttika, “Godaw, nu ayfey xeellana mela koyoos” yaagidosona.
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Yesuusi enttaw qadhettidi, entta ayfiyaa bochchis. Ellesidi entta ayfey xeellis; entti iya kaallidi bidosona.
