Matthew 20
1 "For the Kingdom of the Heavens is like an employer who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard,
Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’omuntu ssemaka, eyakeera mu makya n’apangisa abakozi okukola mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu.
2 and having made an agreement with them for a shilling a day, sent them into his vineyard.
N’alagaana n’abapakasi okubasasula omuwendo eddinaali emu emu, ze zaali ensimbi ez’olunaku olumu. N’abasindika mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu.
3 About nine o'clock he went out and saw others loitering in the market-place.
“Bwe waayitawo essaawa nga bbiri n’asanga abalala nga bayimiridde mu katale nga tebalina kye bakola,
4 To these also he said, "'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'
nabo n’abagamba nti, ‘Nammwe mugende mu nnimiro y’emizabbibu, era nnaabasasula empeera ebasaanira.’
5 "So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.
Ne bagenda. “Ku ssaawa omukaaga ne ku mwenda n’asindikayo abalala mu ngeri y’emu.
6 And going out about five o'clock he found others loitering, and he asked them, "'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'
Essaawa nga ziweze nga kkumi n’emu n’asanga abalala nga bayimiridde awo, n’ababuuza nti, ‘Lwaki muyimiridde awo olunaku lwonna nga temulina kye mukola?’
7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they replied. "'You also, go into the vineyard,' he said.
“Ne bamuddamu nti, ‘Kubanga tetufunye atuwa mulimu.’ N’abagamba nti, ‘Nammwe mugende mukole mu nnimiro yange ey’emizabbibu.’
8 "When evening came, the master said to his steward, "'Call the men and pay them their wages. Begin with the last set and finish with the first.'
“Awo obudde nga buwungeera nannyini nnimiro n’alagira nampala ayite abakozi abawe empeera yaabwe ng’asookera ku b’oluvannyuma.
9 "When those came who had begun at five o'clock, they received a shilling apiece;
“Abaatandika ku ssaawa ekkumi n’emu ne baweebwa eddinaali emu emu.
10 and when the first came, they expected to get more, but they also each got the shilling.
Bali abaasookayo bwe bajja ne basuubira nti bo ze banaasasulwa zijja kusingako obungi. Naye nabo yabasasula omuwendo gwe gumu ogw’olunaku olumu nga bali.
11 So when they had received it, they grumbled against the employer, saying,
Bwe baagifuna ne beemulugunyiza nannyini nnimiro
12 "'These who came last have done only one hour's work, and you have put them on a level with us who have worked the whole day and have borne the scorching heat.'
nga bagamba nti, ‘Bano abooluvannyuma baakoledde essaawa emu yokka naye lwaki obawadde empeera eyenkana eyaffe, ffe abaakoze okuva mu makya ne mu musana gw’omu tuntu?’
13 "'My friend,' he answered to one of them, 'I am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?
“Mukama waabwe kwe kuddamu omu ku bo nti, ‘Munnange si kubbye; bwe wabadde otandika okukola tetwalagaanye eddinaali emu?
14 Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you.
Twala eddinaali yo ogende. Naye njagala n’ono asembyeyo okumuwa empeera y’emu nga gye nkuwadde.
15 Have I not a right to do what I choose with my own property? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
Siyinza kukozesa byange nga bwe njagala? Obuggya bukukutte kubanga ndi wa kisa?’
16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last."
“Kale nno bwe kityo bwe kiriba abooluvannyuma ne baba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye ne baba abooluvannyuma.”
17 Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
Awo Yesu bwe yali ayambuka e Yerusaalemi n’atwala abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri, mu kyama. Bwe baali mu kkubo, n’abagamba nti,
18 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,
“Laba twambuka e Yerusaalemi, Omwana w’Omuntu aliweebwayo eri bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, bamusalire omusango ogw’okufa.
19 and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."
Era balimuwaayo eri Abamawanga ne bamuduulira ne bamukuba, era balimukomerera ku musaalaba. Naye ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukizibwa.”
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zabdi came to Him with her sons, and knelt before Him to make a request of Him.
Awo nnyina w’abaana ba Zebbedaayo, n’ajja eri Yesu ne batabani be bombi, n’amusinza ng’ayagala okubaako ky’amusaba.
21 "What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied, "that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your Kingdom."
Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ky’oyagala?” N’addamu nti, “Nsaba, mu bwakabaka bwo, abaana bange bano bombi batuule naawe omu ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo n’omulala ku gwa kkono.”
22 "None of you know what you are asking for," said Jesus; "can you drink out of the cup from which I am about to drink?" "We can," they replied.
Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Tomanyi ky’osaba. Muyinza okunywa ku kikompe nze kye ŋŋenda okunywako?” Ne baddamu nti, “Tuyinza.”
23 "You shall drink out of my cup," He said, "but a seat at my right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
N’abagamba nti, “Weewaawo ekikompe mugenda kukinywako. Naye eky’okutuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo oba ogwa kkono nze sikirinaako buyinza. Ebifo ebyo byategekebwa dda Kitange.”
24 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused against the two brothers.
Abayigirizwa bali ekkumi bwe baawulira ebyo abooluganda ababiri bye baasaba, ne babanyiigira nnyo.
25 But Jesus called them to Him, and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
Yesu kwe kubayita n’abagamba nti, “Mumanyi ng’abakulembeze b’abamawanga babazitoowereza embeera, n’abakulu baabwe babafuza lyanyi.
26 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant,
Naye tekisaanye kuba bwe kityo mu mmwe. Buli ayagala okubeera omukulu mu mmwe, abeerenga muweereza wa banne.
27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
Na buli ayagala okuba omwami mu mmwe aweerezenga banne ng’omuddu waabwe.
28 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as the redemption-price for many."
Mube nga Omwana w’Omuntu atajja kuweerezebwa wabula okuweereza, n’okuwaayo obulamu bwe ng’omutango okununula abangi.”
29 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be bwe baali bava mu kibuga Yeriko, ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera.
30 two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried aloud, "Sir, Son of David, pity us."
Abazibe b’amaaso babiri abaali batudde ku mabbali g’ekkubo bwe baawulira nga Yesu ayita mu kkubo eryo, ne baleekaanira waggulu nnyo nga bakoowoola nti, “Ssebo, Omwana wa Dawudi, otusaasire!”
31 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
Ekibiina ne kibalagira okusirika, naye bo, ne beeyongera bweyongezi okukoowoolera waggulu nga boogera nti, “Ssebo, Omwana wa Dawudi, tusasire.”
32 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do for you?" He asked.
Yesu bwe yabatuukako n’ayimirira n’ababuuza nti, “Mwagala mbakolere ki?”
33 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Mukama waffe, twagala otuzibule amaaso.”
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Yesu n’abasaasira n’akwata ku maaso gaabwe amangwago ne gazibuka, ne bamugoberera.
