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.
Kwa ndabha bhufalme bhwa kumbinguni bhwifwanana ni mmiliki ghwa n'gonda, jha ajhumuiki lukhela na mapema ili kuajili bhabhombambombo mu n'gonda bhwa muene bhwa mizabibu.
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.
Baada j'ha kujha akubaliene ni bhabhomba mbombo dinari jhimonga kwa kutwa, akabhatuma kulola kun'gonda ghwa mizabibu.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
Akalota kabhele baada j'ha masaa madatu ivi na akabhabhona bhabhombambombo bhangi bhajhele bhajhemili bila mbombo mu lieneo lya soko.
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].
Akabhajobhela, 'Muenga pia, mlotayi kun'gonda lya mizabibu, na kyokioha kya kij'hele halali nibetakubhapela.' Hivyo bhakalota kubhomba mbombo.
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].
Akalota kabhele baada jha masaa sita ni kabhele katika saa jha tisa, na abhombili mebhu.
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?’
Mara j'henge kabhele mnamo saa kumi na moja, akalota ni kubhakolela bhangi bhajhemili bila mbombo. Akabhajobhela, 'kwa ndabha jhakiki mujhemili apa bila mbombo j'hoj'hioha j'hela kwa ligono lyoha?
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].
Bhakan'jobhela, kwa ndabha ajhelepi munu jhejhioha j'hola j'haatuajiri. Akabhajobhela, 'Ni muenga mulotayi mu n'gonda ghwa mizabibu.'
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.’
Bhwakati bhwa kimihi bho bhufikiri, n'kolo n'gonda ghwa mizabibu akan'jobhela msimamizi ghwa muene, 'Ubhakutayi bhabhombambombo na ubhalepayi mishahara, kwa kubhwanja ni bhwa mwishu hadi ghwa kubhwandelu.'
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].
Bhobhahidili bhabhaajiribhu saa kumi na moja, kila mmonga ghwa bhene apelibhu dinari.
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.
Bho bhahidili bhabhomba mbomo bha kubhwandelu bhafikirileghe kujha bhibeta kukabha zaidi, lakini bhapokili pia kila munu dinari jhimonga kwa kila munu.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Baada jha kupokela malipo gha bhene, bhandalamikili mmiliki ghwa n'gonda.
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!’
Bhakajobha, “Abha bhabhombambombo bha mwishu bhabhombili lisaa limonga tu kubhombambombo, lakini ubhalenganisi ni tete, tete tup'hendili misighu ligono lyoha ni kupya ni lifukhe.'
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].
Lakini n'kolo n'gonda akajibu ni kujobha kwa mmonga ghwa bhene, 'Rafiki, nabhombili lepi khenu kibhibhi. Je! tukakubaliene lepi ni nene dinari j'himonga?
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].
Pokelayi khela kya kijhele halali jha bhebhe naubho kayi. turahe ya nene kubhap'hela abha bhabhomba mbombo bhabhaajiribhu kumwishu sawasawa ni muenga.
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]’”
Je! hakilepi kwa nene kubhomba khela kyanilonda ni mali syangu? au lihu lya bhebhe liovu kwa ndabha nene ne mwema?
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].”
Efyo ghwa mwishu ij'ha ghwa kubhwandelu nighwa kubhwandelu ijha ghwa mwishu”
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,
Yesu bho ikwela kulota Yerusalemu, akabhatola bhanafynzibha muene kumi na bhabhale palubhafu, na mun'jhela akabhajibhela,
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}.
Langai twilota Yerusalemu, ni Mwana ghwa Adamu ibetakujha mmabhoko gha bhakuu bha makuhani ni bhaandishi.
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.”
Na bhibetakun'hukumula kifo na bhibetakumbosya kwa bhanu bha mataifa ili kundhihaki, kun'tobha ni kunsulubisya. Lakini ligono lya tatu ibetakufufuka.”
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.
Kisha mabhu ghwa bhana bha Zebedayo ahidili kwa Yesu ni bhana munu. Apigili magoti mbele jha muene ni kun'soma khenu kuhoma kwa muene.
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.”
Yesu akan'jobhela, “Ghwilonda kiki?” Akanijobhela, “Amuru kujha abha bhanabhangu bhabhele bhatamayi, mmonga kibhoko kya kulia ni mmonga kibhoko kya bhebhe kya kushoto mu bhufalme bhwa jhobhi.”
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].”
Lakini Yesu akan'jibu ni kujobha, “Ukimanyili lepi khela kyaghwis'oma. Je! Ghwibhwesya kukinyuela kikombi ambakyo nibetakunywela?” bhakan'jobhela, “Twibhwesya.”
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.”
Akabhajobhela, “Kikombi kya nene hakika mwibeta kukinywela. Lakini kutama kibhoko kya nene kya kulia ni kibhoko kya nene kya kushoto sio jukumu la nene kubhap'hela, lakini ni kwa bhala ambabho bhamalili kuandalibhwa ni dadiyangu.”
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].
Bhanafunzi bhangi kumi bho bhapeliki naha, bhakahuzunishwa sana ni bhala bhanu bhabhele.
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.
Lakini Yesu akabhakuta bhene ni kubhajobhela, “Mmanyili kujha bhatawala bha mataifa bhakabhalisya, ni bhabhaha bha bhene bhibetakelesya mamlaka juu jha bhene.
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.
Lakini isijhi naha kwa muenga. Badala yake, yeyote atakayetaka kuwa mkubwa miongoni mwenu lazima awe mtumishi wenu.
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.
Na jhaibeta kujha ghwa kubhuandu kati jha muenga lazima ajhiaghe n'tumishi ghwa muenga.
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]
Kama vile Mwana ghwa Adamu ahidilepi kutumikibhwa, bali kutumika, ni kuhomesya bhuhai bhwake kujha bhukhombozi kwa bhingi.”
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Bhwakati bhihomela Yeriko, bhumati m'baha bhwa n'kesisi.
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!”
Na bhabhabhuene fipofu mbabhele bhatamili kando j'ha barabara. Bho bhapeliki kuj'ha Yesu ipeta, bhakakuesya sauti ni kujobha, “Bwana, Mwana ghwa Daudi, utuhurumilayi.”
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!”
Lakini bhumati ukabhakhemela, ni kubhajobhela mgudamayi. Hata ivyo, bhene bhakazidi kukwesya sauti ni kujobha, “Bwana, Mwana ghwa Daudi, utuhurumilayi.”
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Kisha Yesu akajhema na akabhakuta ni kubhakota, “Mwilonda nibhambombilayi kiki?”
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
Bhakan'jobhela, “Bwana kuj'ha mihu gha tete ghabhwesiaghe, kulola.”
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Basi Yesu, akajha avutibhu ni huruma, akaghagusa mihu gha bhene, mara ej'hu bhakapokela bhuwezo bhwa kulola na bhakan'kesya.
