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,
“Mootummaan samiis abbaa lafaa kan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaatti hojjettoota qacarachuuf jedhee barii obboroo manaa baʼe tokko fakkaata.
2 and having made an agreement with them for a shilling a day, sent them into his vineyard.
Innis guyyaatti diinaariitokko tokko isaanii kaffaluuf hojjettoota sanaan walii galee gara iddoo dhaabaa wayinii isaatti isaan erge.
3 About nine o'clock he went out and saw others loitering in the market-place.
“Namichi sunis gara saʼaatii sadiitti gad baʼee namoota hojii malee iddoo gabaa dhadhaabatan kanneen biraa arge.
4 To these also he said, "'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'
‘Isinis dhaqaatii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii keessa hojjedhaa; anis waan isiniif malu isiniifin kaffalaa’ jedheen.
5 "So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.
Isaanis ni dhaqan. “Ammas gara saʼaatii jaʼaa fi gara saʼaatii sagaliitti gad baʼee akkasuma godhe.
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?'
Naannoo saʼaatii kudha tokkoottis gad baʼee namoota hojii malee dhadhaabatan biraa argee, ‘Isin maaliif guyyaa guutuu hojii malee as dhadhaabattu?’ jedhee isaan gaafate.
7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they replied. "'You also, go into the vineyard,' he said.
“Isaanis, ‘Sababii namni tokko illee nu hin qacaratiniif’ jedhanii deebisan. “Inni immoo, ‘Isinis dhaqaatii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kootii keessa hojjedhaa’ jedheen.
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.'
“Yommuu galgalaaʼetti abbaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii sanaa hoogganaa hojii isaatiin, ‘Hojjettoota waami; warra gara dhumaatti qacaramanii jalqabii hamma warra dura qacaramaniitti mindaa isaanii kaffaliif’ jedheen.
9 "When those came who had begun at five o'clock, they received a shilling apiece;
“Warri gara saʼaatii kudha tokkootti qacaraman sunis dhufanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii diinaarii tokko tokko fudhatan.
10 and when the first came, they expected to get more, but they also each got the shilling.
Warri jalqabatti qacaraman yommuu dhufanitti waan warra kaan caalaa argatan seʼan. Garuu tokkoon tokkoon isaanii diinaarii tokko tokko fudhatan.
11 So when they had received it, they grumbled against the employer, saying,
Isaan yommuu diinaarii sana fudhatanitti abbaa lafaa sanatti guunguman.
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.'
Isaanis, ‘Warri gara dhumaatti qacaraman kunneen saʼaatii tokko qofa hojjetan; ati garuu nu warra dadhabbii hojichaatii fi hoʼa guyyaa obsine isaaniin wal qixxeessite’ jedhaniin.
13 "'My friend,' he answered to one of them, 'I am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?
“Inni garuu hojjettoota sana keessaa isa tokkoon, ‘Yaa michuu ko, ani waan tokkoon illee si hin miine. Ati diinaarii tokkoon naan walii hin gallee?
14 Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you.
Qooda kee fudhadhuu deemi; ani namicha isa gara dhumaa kanaafis hammuma siif kenne sana kennuufii nan barbaada.
15 Have I not a right to do what I choose with my own property? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
Ani qarshii kootiin waan barbaade gochuuf mirga hin qabuu? Yookaan sababii ani arjaa taʼeef hinaaftaa?’ jedhe.
16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last."
“Akkasuma warri dhumaa warra jalqabaa ni taʼu; warri jalqabaa immoo warra dhumaa ni taʼu.”
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,
Yesuus utuu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jiruu barattoota kudha lamaan kophaatti baasee akkana jedheen:
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,
“Kunoo nu Yerusaalemitti ol baʼaa jirra; Ilmi Namaas dabarfamee luboota hangafootattii fi barsiistota seeraatti ni kennama. Isaanis duʼa itti muru;
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."
akka isaan itti qoosaniif, isa garafanii fi isa fannisaniifis dabarsanii Namoota Ormaatti isa kennu. Innis guyyaa sadaffaatti duʼaa ni kaafama!”
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.
Ergasiis haati ilmaan Zabdewoos ilmaan ishee wajjin gara Yesuus dhuftee jilbeenfattee waa isa kadhatte.
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."
Yesuusis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedheen. Isheenis, “Akka ilmaan koo kunneen lamaan mootummaa kee keessatti inni tokko mirga keetiin, inni kaan immoo bitaa keetiin taaʼu naa godhi” jetteen.
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.
Yesuus immoo, “Isin waan kadhattan hin beektan; xoofoo ani dhuguuf jiru dhuguu ni dandeessuu?” jedheen. Isaanis, “Ni dandeenya” jedhanii deebisan.
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."
Yesuusis, “Dhugumaan xoofoo koo irraa illee ni dhugdu; garuu mirga kootii fi bitaa kootiin taaʼuu kan kennu ana miti. Iddoon kun kan warra Abbaan koo isaaniif qopheesse sanaa ti” jedheen.
24 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused against the two brothers.
Warri kurnan yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti obboloota lamaanitti aaran.
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.
Yesuusis walitti isaan waamee akkana jedhe; “Isin akka bulchitoonni Namoota Ormaa isaan irratti gooftummaa mulʼisan, gurguddoonni isaaniis akka isaan irratti taayitaa argisiisan ni beektu.
26 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant,
Isin biratti akkas miti. Qooda kanaa namni isin keessaa nama guddaa taʼuu barbaadu kam iyyuu tajaajilaa keessan taʼuu qaba;
27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
namni nama jalqabaa taʼuu barbaadu kam iyyuu garbicha keessan taʼuu qaba;
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."
Ilmi Namaa iyyuu tajaajiluu fi lubbuu isaa immoo namoota baayʼeedhaaf furii godhee kennuuf dhufe malee tajaajilamuuf hin dhufneetii.”
29 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
Utuu Yesuusii fi barattoonni isaa Yerikoodhaa baʼaa jiranuu, tuunni namootaa guddaan isa duukaa buʼe.
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."
Kunoo, jaamonni lama qarqara karaa tataaʼaa turan; isaanis yommuu akka Yesuus achiin darbaa jiru dhagaʼanitti iyyanii, “Gooftaa, yaa Ilma Daawit nu maari!” jedhan.
31 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
Tuunni sunis akka isaan calʼisaniif isaan ifate; isaan garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Ilma Daawit nu maari!” jedhanii ittuma caalchisanii iyyan.
32 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do for you?" He asked.
Yesuusis dhaabatee isaan waamee, “Akka ani maal isinii godhu barbaaddu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
33 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
Isaan immoo, “Yaa Gooftaa, akka iji keenya nuuf banamu barbaanna” jedhanii deebisan.
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Yesuusis garaa laafeefii ija isaanii qaqqabe. Isaanis yeruma sana arganii isa duukaa buʼan.
