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.
συμφωνησας δε 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 την 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;
κακεινοις 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 εννατην 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 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 και 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 εστω 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 δαβιδ
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 δαβιδ
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
