< 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,
“Invân Rêngram chu mi inkhatin a grapebila mi senkhat inloa sintho rang rokin jîng renga ajôkpai angin ani.
2 and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Ama'n a sinthopungei hah asûna duli pêk ngei rangin a jôta, male a grapebila sintho rangin a tîr ngei zoi.
3 'And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
Jîng dâr kuo ânringin chu bazar muna a se nôka, mahan mi senkhat ite tho loia an inding ava mua,
4 and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
masikin an kôm, ‘Nangni khom se ungla, grapebila va sin ungla, rathaman asadên nangni pêk ki tih,’ a tipe ngeia.
5 and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
Masikin an se zoi. Hanchu sûn dâr sômleinik le chonûk dâr thuma khom ma angdênin a thoa.
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?
Kholoi dâr rangnga ânring rangtôn bazar muna ava se nôka, mi senkhat ite sin loia ânding chien ava mu ngei nôka. An kôm, ‘Ithomo ite sin loiin mahin sûn nin min hek?’ tiin a rekel ngeia.
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.
Anni han a kôm, ‘tutên mi min lo mak ngei,’ tiin an thuona. Asa, hanchu, nangni khom se ungla grapebila sin va tho roi,” a tipe ngeia.
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.
Kholoi ahong nîn chu, a pumapa han a sum vongpu kôm han, “Sinthopu ngei hah koi inla, anûktaka hong inlopu ngei renga phutin amasataka hong inlopu ngei dênin an rathaman pêk ngei roh,” a tia.
9 And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
Kholoi dâr rangnga sintho koppu ngei ha chu duli chit pêk an nia.
10 'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
Masikin motontaka sintho koppu ngei hah an hongin chu atam uol man rangin an mindona; hannirese anni khom duli chit kêng pêk an ni.
11 and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
An sum hah an lâka, a pumapa chunga an chier phut zoi.
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.
“Hi mi nûktaka hôn lo ngei hi chu dâr khat vai an sinna ania, keini chu nisa luma sûntuonin kin sina, hannoma, keini mi ni pêk dôr nanâk anni khom ne pêka!” an tia.
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?
A pumapa han, an lâia inkhat kôm han, “‘Rangâi ta, mal,’ nang huong mu-ung. Ikhomnirse asûna duli loa sintho ranga no jôt ani.
14 take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
Atûn na rathaman lâk inla, ni ina se roh. Nangma nang ke pêk dôr hih hi anûktaka a hon lopu khom hih pêk ku nuom ani.
15 is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
Ka sum chu ki ti lamtaka mang rangin rachamneina dôn mu-ung mo? Aninônchu ka mannarloi sikin na narsa mini?” a tipea.
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'
Hanchu Jisua'n, “Masikin anûktak ngei hah amotontak la nîng an ta, amotontak ngei hah anûktak la nîng an tih,” tiin chongkhârnân a tia.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
Jisua Jerusalem tena se lâihan, ruoisingei sômleinik hah an theiin a tuong ngeia, lampuia an lôn pumin inrûkten an kôm,
18 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
“Rangâi ta u, Jerusalema ei se rang ania, mahan Miriem Nâipasal hi Ochaisingei le Balam minchupungei kuta minsûrin om a tih. Thi rangin theiloimintum an ta,
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.'
hanchu Jentailngei kuta pêk an ta, anni han munui inzanân mang an ta, vîk an ta, khrosa jêmdel an tih; hannirese sûnthum suole chu aringin kaithoiin om a tih,” a tia.
20 Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,
Hanchu Jebedee lômnu hah a nâipasal inik ngei leh Jisua kôm an honga, amakunga khûkinbilin, a lungkhamna a zonga.
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.'
Jisua'n a kôm, “Imo nu nuom?” tiin amanu hah a rekela. Amanu han, “Hi ka nâipasal inik ngei hih Rêng nini tika na chang tieng inkhat no voitieng inkhat min sung rangin chong mênkhâm pe roh,” tiin a thuona.
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.'
Jisua'n, nâipasalngei kôm han, “Nin zong hih nin riet loi ani, Tuongna kilât ki nêk rang hih nin nêk thei rang mo?” a tia. “Thei kin tih,” tiin an thuona.
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.'
Jisua'n an kôm, “Ki kilât chu nêk tatak nan ta,” hannirese, “tumo ka chang tieng le ko voi tienga ânsung rang chu keiman zen rangin racham dôn mu-ung. Hi munngei hih chu ka Pa'n a mintuo pe ngei ta rang kêng ani,” a tia.
24 And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
Ruoisi dang sômngei han ma chong hah an rietin chu, lâibung inik ngei chunga an ningathik zoia.
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,
Masikin Jisua'n an rêngin a koitûp ngeia, an kôm, “Jentailngei chunga roijêkpua an phunngei chu an chunga an inlaltatak ngâia, an ruoipungei khom an chunga rachamneina an dôn ok ngâi iti nin riet.
26 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
Nikhomrese, nin lâia chu ma anghin ani rang nimak. Tukhomin alien a nuomin chu, nin tîrlâm ani bak ngêt rang ani;
27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
Mapêna, nin lâia tukhomin amotontak ani nuomin chu nin tîrlâm a chang bak ngêt rang ani.
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.'
Miriem Nâipasal luo mana min a sin an tho pe rangin juong maka, mi sin tho pe rang le mi tamtak rattan ranga a ringna pêk rangin kêng a juong ani,” a tia.
29 And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,
Jisua le a ruoisingei Jericho hah an mâkin chu, mipui tamtakin an jûia.
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.'
Mitcho inik lampui kôla insungin Jisua a hongvun iti an rietin chu, “David Nâipasal! Kin chunga inrieng mi mu roh, Pu!” tiin an in-ieka.
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.'
Mipui ngei han dâirek rangin an ngo ngeia. Aniatachu anni han, “David Nâipasal! Kin chunga inrieng mimu roh, Pu!” tiin an iniek minring uola.
32 And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, 'What will ye [that] I may do to you?'
Jisua ânngama a koi ngeia, “Imo nangni rangin ni min tho nin nuom?” tiin a rekel ngeia.
33 they say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'
“Pu, mitvârna mi ni pêk rang hih kin nuom ani!” tiin an thuona.
34 and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Jisua'n an chunga inriengmuna a dôna, an mitngei hah a tôn pe ngeia, voikhatrengin an hong mu thei kelena, a nûk an jûi zoi ani.
