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,
Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedikini banga: —Pfumu yi ndima yitotuka mu nsuka-nsuka mu sonika bisadi bilenda sala mu ndimꞌandi yi vinu.
2 and having made an agreement with them for a shilling a day, sent them into his vineyard.
Wuwizana yawu mu denali kimosi mu lumbu kimosi ayi wuba fidisa ku ndimꞌandi yi vinu.
3 About nine o'clock he went out and saw others loitering in the market-place.
Wutotuka diaka mu thangu yi vua yi nsuka; wumona batu bankaka, bakambulu mu kisalu, buna batelimini va zandu.
4 To these also he said, "'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'
Wuba kamba: “Beno mamveno, yendanu lusala mu ndimꞌama yi vinu ayi mandi lufuta mfutu wufuana. Bawu mamvawu bayenda.”
5 "So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.
Wutotuka diaka va midi bosi mu thangu yintatu yi masika. Bo buawu kavanga.
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?'
Mu thangu yintanu, mu masika, wutotuka ayi wumona diaka bankaka buna batelimini vana ayi wuba yuvula: “Bila mbi lutelimini vava lumbu kimvimba mu kambu sala kadi kima?”
7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they replied. "'You also, go into the vineyard,' he said.
Bavutula: “Bila kadi mutu kasi tusonika ko mu kisalu!” Wubakamba: “Beno mamveno, yendanu sadi ku ndimꞌama.”
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.'
Va masika pfumu yi ndima wukamba kapita kiandi: “Tela bisadi ayi wuba futa vayi tonina kuidi bobo baba batsuka mu sonama bosi wumanisina kuidi bobo baba batheti.”
9 "When those came who had begun at five o'clock, they received a shilling apiece;
Batu bobo basonama thangu yi ntanu yi masika batambula denali kimosi-kimosi mu kadika mutu.
10 and when the first came, they expected to get more, but they also each got the shilling.
Bosi batu bobo baba batheti mu sonama bu bayiza, babanzila ti bawu banluta vayi denali kimosi-kimosi kadika mutu kafutu,
11 So when they had received it, they grumbled against the employer, saying,
Buna batambula kiawu, bafuemina pfumu yi ndima
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.'
ayi bankamba: “Batu bobo sonikiningi kunzimunina, thangu yimosi kaka basadidi. Vayi wuba futidi phila yimosi ayi beto tusedi kisalu kingolo ayi ku tsi muini wungolo mu lumbu kimvimba.”
13 "'My friend,' he answered to one of them, 'I am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?
Pfumu yi ndima wuvutula kuidi kisadi kimosi mu bawu: “A nkundi ama, ndisi kuvangila mbimbi ko! Tuisi wizananga yaku mu denali kimosi ko e?
14 Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you.
Bonga mfutu aku ayi yenda kuaku. Minu thidi vana kuidi mutu wowo wutsuka phila yimosi banga ngeyo.
15 Have I not a right to do what I choose with my own property? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
A buevi ndisi ko minsua mu vanga dioso thidi mu zimbongo ziama e? Voti kikhenene weka mona bu ndidi mutu wumboti.”
16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last."
Buawu bobo buela bela batu batsuka batu batheti ayi batu batheti batu batsuka.
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,
Yesu bu kaba nkuenda ku Yelusalemi; wubonga mu nzila kumi minlonguki miandi miodi va lutengo, wuba kamba:
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,
—Lutala, tulembo yendi ku Yelusalemi, vayi kuna Muana Mutu kela yekodolo mu mioko mi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi kuidi Minlongi mi Mina. Bela kunzengila nkanu wu lufua
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."
ayi bela kunyekula mu mioko mi bapakanu muingi bansekinina, bambeta bikoti ayi bambanda va dikulusi. Bosi mu lumbu kintatu niandi wela fuluka.
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.
Buna ngudi yi bana ba Zebede wuyiza kuidi Yesu va kimosi ayi bana bandi; wumfukimina ayi wunlomba diambu dimosi.
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 wuyuvula: —A mbi tidi e? Niandi wuvutula: —Bika bana bama baba babuadi bababakala bavuanda wumosi ku lubakala luaku ayi wumosi ku lumoso luaku mu Kipfumu kiaku.
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.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Beno lusi zaba ko momo lunlomba. Buna beno lulenda nua mbungu yoyi ndiela nua? Bamvutudila: —Nyinga, tulenda kueto bu vanga!
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."
Yesu wuba kamba: —Bukiedika luela nua mbungu ama vayi mu diambu di vuanda va lubakala luama voti ku lumoso luama, diodi disi ko mu minsua miama bila bibuangu beni bidi mu diambu di batu bobo Dise diama kakubikila biawu.
24 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused against the two brothers.
Thangu kumi di minlonguki minkaka miwa bobo, mifuemina bakhomba zina buadi.
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 wuba tumisa bawu boso, wuba kamba: —Luzebi ti bapfumu ba Bapakanu zieti kuba yadila mu kingolo ayi batu bawu banneni beti kuba monisanga lulendo luawu.
26 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant,
Vayi buawu ko bulenda bela kuidi beno. Vayi woso mutu tidi ba wunneni mu beno bika kaba kisadi kieno.
27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
Woso tidi ba wutheti buna bika kaba mvika weno.
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."
Bila Muana Mutu kasia kuiza ko muingi bansadila vayi wuyiza mu diambu di sadila batu ayi mu diambu di vana luzingu luandi mu diambu di kula batu bawombo.
29 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
Bu babika Yeliko, nkangu wu batu bawombo balandakana Yesu.
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."
Baphofo buadi bavuanda mu yenda nzila, bu ziwa ti Yesu wulembo vioki buna zieka nyamikina: —Pfumu! Muana Davidi, wutumoni kiadi e!
31 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
Nkangu wu batu wuba temina muingi zibika biyoko vayi ziluta buela yamikina ngolo: —Pfumu! Muana Davidi, wutumona kiadi e!
32 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do for you?" He asked.
Yesu wutelama; wuba tela ayi wuba yuvula: —A mbi lutidi ndiluvangila e?
33 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
Zimvutudila: —Pfumu! Tutidi meso meto mazibuka!
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Yesu wuba mona kiadi, wusimba meso mawu. Muna ntangu beni yina kaka zitona mona ayi zinlandakana.
