Matthew 20
1 'For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
ομοια γαρ εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστισ εξηλθεν αμα πρωι μισθωσασθαι εργατασ εισ τον αμπελωνα αυτου
2 and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
και συμφωνησασ μετα των εργατων εκ δηναριου την ημεραν απεστειλεν αυτουσ εισ τον αμπελωνα αυτου
3 'And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
και εξελθων περι τριτην ωραν ειδεν αλλουσ εστωτασ εν τη αγορα αργουσ
4 and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
και εκεινοισ ειπεν υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον δωσω υμιν
5 and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
οι δε απηλθον παλιν εξελθων περι εκτην και ενατην ωραν εποιησεν ωσαυτωσ
6 And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?
περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλουσ εστωτασ αργουσ και λεγει αυτοισ τι ωδε εστηκατε ολην την ημεραν αργοι
7 they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye — ye also — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.
λεγουσιν αυτω οτι ουδεισ ημασ εμισθωσατο λεγει αυτοισ υπαγετε και υμεισ εισ τον αμπελωνα και ο εαν η δικαιον ληψεσθε
8 'And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last — unto the first.
οψιασ δε γενομενησ λεγει ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τω επιτροπω αυτου καλεσον τουσ εργατασ και αποδοσ αυτοισ τον μισθον αρξαμενοσ απο των εσχατων εωσ των πρωτων
9 And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
και ελθοντεσ οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν ελαβον ανα δηναριον
10 'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
ελθοντεσ δε οι πρωτοι ενομισαν οτι πλειονα ληψονται και ελαβον και αυτοι ανα δηναριον
11 and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
λαβοντεσ δε εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου
12 that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day — and the heat.
λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοι οι εσχατοι μιαν ωραν εποιησαν και ισουσ ημιν αυτουσ εποιησασ τοισ βαστασασιν το βαροσ τησ ημερασ και τον καυσωνα
13 'And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ενι αυτων εταιρε ουκ αδικω σε ουχι δηναριου συνεφωνησασ μοι
14 take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
αρον το σον και υπαγε θελω δε τουτω τω εσχατω δουναι ωσ και σοι
15 is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
η ουκ εξεστιν μοι ποιησαι ο θελω εν τοισ εμοισ ει ο οφθαλμοσ σου πονηροσ εστιν οτι εγω αγαθοσ ειμι
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'
ουτωσ εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
και αναβαινων ο ιησουσ εισ ιεροσολυμα παρελαβεν τουσ δωδεκα μαθητασ κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπεν αυτοισ
18 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοισ αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω
19 and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'
και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το εμπαιξαι και μαστιγωσαι και σταυρωσαι και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται
20 Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,
τοτε προσηλθεν αυτω η μητηρ των υιων ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτησ προσκυνουσα και αιτουσα τι παρ αυτου
21 and he said to her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith to him, 'Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'
ο δε ειπεν αυτη τι θελεισ λεγει αυτω ειπε ινα καθισωσιν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι μου εισ εκ δεξιων σου και εισ εξ ευωνυμων σου εν τη βασιλεια σου
22 And Jesus answering said, 'Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, 'We are able.'
αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω μελλω πινειν η το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι λεγουσιν αυτω δυναμεθα
23 And he saith to them, 'Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.'
και λεγει αυτοισ το μεν ποτηριον μου πιεσθε και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων μου ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οισ ητοιμασται υπο του πατροσ μου
24 And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
και ακουσαντεσ οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων
25 and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,
ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτουσ ειπεν οιδατε οτι οι αρχοντεσ των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων
26 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
ουχ ουτωσ δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν μεγασ γενεσθαι εσται υμων διακονοσ
27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
και οσ εαν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτοσ εστω υμων δουλοσ
28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
ωσπερ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων
29 And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,
και εκπορευομενων αυτων απο ιεριχω ηκολουθησεν αυτω οχλοσ πολυσ
30 and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, 'Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.'
και ιδου δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον ακουσαντεσ οτι ιησουσ παραγει εκραξαν λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
31 And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, 'Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.'
ο δε οχλοσ επετιμησεν αυτοισ ινα σιωπησωσιν οι δε μειζον εκραζον λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ κυριε υιοσ δαυιδ
32 And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, 'What will ye [that] I may do to you?'
και στασ ο ιησουσ εφωνησεν αυτουσ και ειπεν τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν
33 they say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'
λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ινα ανοιχθωσιν ημων οι οφθαλμοι
34 and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
σπλαγχνισθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων και ευθεωσ ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ηκολουθησαν αυτω
