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.
“Nyidomooku Karv ngv svbv ridunv. Kvvlo nyi ako ninyigv anggor rongo nga ridubv vla rwklap lapnv nyi makarla arukamchi bv vnglinto.
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.
Nw bunua alu nyilap bv joobwngnam, raaji lokdwng chargo jidubv tolwk gvrila bunua rongolo vngmu toku.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
Nw lvkodv aru gv kia baji lo vngkur toku piokpamdorpam kolo, ho nw nyi mego ogurimabv doonv vkv kaapa toku,
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].
vkvlvgabv nw bunua mintoku, ‘Nonu ka anggor rongo vlo vngla riteka, okv ngo nonua alu rwklap lapjoa jire.’
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].
Vkvlvgabv bunu vngtoku. Vbvrikunamv nw alu gv gunta vring gola anyi lola okv arium gv gunta aom lola vbvdvdvbv minla nyi vdwa vngmuto.
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?’
Arium gv gunta angu baji tvvtoku vdwlo nw piokpam dorpamlo vngla kvvbi nyi vkv vjaklodvbv hoka dakbwng nvgo kaapa toku. Nw bunua tvvkato, ‘Nonuno ogubv alu longa soka ogu rimabv anyubv doomin dunv?’
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].
Bunu mirwksito, ‘Ngonua yvvka minnv kaama,’ Vbvrikunamv, alvpv, nonuka anggor rongo vlo vngla riteka,’ vla nw bunua mintoku.
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.’
“Vdwlo arium tokudw, rongo atuv rongo rigv nvnga mintoku, ‘Rwklap lapnv vdwa goklwkla bunugv alu nyilap lapjo nga jooto kuka, goknyung yanam lokv jirap laila gokcho yanam lobv jila jime tokuka.’
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].
Gunta angu baji lo aalwk mwngla rinv vdwa raaji lokdwng charsak go jitoku.
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.
Vkvlvgabv gokcho yachoknam nyi vdwa aamu gvrila jootv tvri ho, bunu mvngtoku bunu kaiyago paari nvpv vla; vbvritola bunuaka raaji lokdwng charkin sakgo jimwng toku.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
Bunu bunugv morko nga naatokula rongo atua bvdur-bvdurbv japria nyatoku.
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!’
‘So nyi vdw si goknyung yanammv gunta akin gomwng rongo rinam v,’ vla bunu minto, ‘ngonu doonyi v hila madubv rila rekwng gvvre—vbvritola no bunua ngonua jinam apiabv jigvre!’
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].
‘Tvvriato, ajin,’ rongo atuv mirwksito, bunugv lokv akonyi, ‘Ngo nonua rikup mapvnv. Minjvjvbolo, nonu alu nyilap a raaji lokdwng chargobv tolwk minsupvnv.
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].
Nonu vjak nonugv alu nyilap a naalaikula naambv vngnyikuka. Ngo koching yachokbv ngoogv goklwk kunam nyi so, nonua jinam apiabv jirung tvdunv.
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]’”
Ngo atubogv morko nga mvnggwngbv mvnyu madu nvlare? Vmalo ngo jipu nvgobv rinam lvgabv nonuno tanyum gvvria doi?’”
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].”
Okv Jisu minyabv mintoku, “Vkvlvgabv yvvdw atokchochuk yabv ridunv hv koching yabv rireku, okv yvvdw koching yabv ridunv, hv atokchochuk yabv rireku.”
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,
Vbv Jisu Jerusalem bv chaadungla charilo, nw lvbwlaksu vring gola anyia akusubv naarwsito okv bunu lamtvlo vngdung dula nw bunua minsila minto.
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}.
“Tvvriato,” vla nw bunua minto, “Ngonu Jerusalem bv chaadungdo hoka Nyia Kuunyilo nga Nyibu butvnv vdwgv okv Pvbv tamsarnv vdwgv laak lo ninyia laklwk riku. Bunu ninyia miyakaayala mvkidubv minreku.
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.”
Okv vbvrikunamv ninyia Jentail vdwgvlo laklwk reku, bunu ninyia nyarjikau riku, svnyak pareku, okv daapo lo ninyia takki reku; vbvritola alu loom kochinglo nw turkur reku.”
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.
Vbvrikunamv Jibedi gv nywng ngv kuunyilo anyia aagvla Jisu gvlo aato, ninyigv kaagialo gubwngla ninyia akusubv mvngkiamnam go kooto.
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.”
Jisu ninyia tvvkato, “No ogugo mvngpvla?” Nw mirwkto, “No vdwlo Dvbv bv riku bolo ngoogv kuunyilo anyi sum noogv lakbik tangvlo akonyi okv lakchi tangvlo akonyi doomure vla, no ngam milv jilabvka.”
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].”
Jisu kuunyilo anyia mirwkto, “Nonu ogugonyi koodunvbvre ho lvga nga nonu chima.” “Nonuno ngoogv hinching koobu tvngji nama, tvngla redw?” Bunu mirwkto, “Um, ngonu tvnglare.”
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.”
Jisu bunua mintoku, “Nonuno tvngnam gvbv ngoogv koobu lokv tvnglare, vbvritola ngoogv lakbik okv lakchilo dooji nvnga dardubv ngoogvlo kaama. So dooku vdwsi ngo Abu gv mvpvripv jikunam bunu vdw gvngv.”
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].
Vdwlo kvvbi lvbwlaksu vdwv hum tvvpa pvkudw bunu achiboru anyia haachi nyatoku.
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.
Vkvlvgabv Jisu bunu mvnwngnga goklwk toku okv mintoku, “Nonu chindu Jentail vdwa rigvdogvnv vdwv bunua rigvdogvnv lanv jwkrw doodunv, okv rigvdogvnv vdwv tujupkunam gubv rinya dukunv.
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.
Svbvrinam aingbv nonu gvlo doorung moyoka. Nonu gvlokv akonv kainvgobv riso mvngbolo, hv mvnwng gv pakbu bv rirunglaka;
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.
okv nonu gvlokv akonv atokcho yaso mvngbolo, hv kvvbi vdwgv nyirabv rirunglaka—
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]
Nyia Kuunyilogv jvbv, nw rijikodubv aama vbvritola nw riji yagv rila okv nyi achialvgo ringlin kunam lvgabv nw atubogv gv svngtung nga mvngnga siyadunv.”
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
Jisu la ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv Jeriko nga vngyu rikulo nyitwng go bunua vngming gvto.
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!”
Nyikchingnv nyi anyigo lamtv hoka doonv Jisu vngpit rikv vla tvvpato, vkvlvgabv bunu gokrap toku, “Dabid gv Kuunyilo nga! Tamsarnv, ngonua aya mvngpa labvka!”
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!”
Nyitwng ngv bunua choibvkv vla mintoku. Vbvritola bunu kaiyayabv gokto, “Dabid gv Kuunyilo nga! Tamsarnv, ngonua aya mvngpa labv!”
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Jisu daktung toku okv bunua goklwk toku. Nw bunua tvkatoku “Nonu nga nonugv lvgabv ogugo rijilabv vla mvngpv?”
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
Bunu mirwksutoku, “Tamsarnv, Ngonu nam ngonugv kaapa nvnv nvnga jilabvkv vla mvngdunv!”
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Jisu bunua aya mvngpa toku okv bunugv nyik a mvsit jitoku; Vjakgobv bunugv nyikkv kaapa nyutoku, okv bunu ninyia vngming gvtoku.
