Mateo 20
1 Lo bubu aɖe si Yesu do le dziƒofiaɖuƒe la ŋu lae nye esi: “Agbletɔ aɖe do go gbe ɖeka ŋdi aɖe be yeadi apaɖilawo woawɔ dɔ le yeƒe waingble me.
Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a master of a house who went out in [the] morning to hire workmen for the vineyard of him.
2 Eƒo asi kple apaɖilawo, eye wolɔ̃ be wòaxe sidi wuieve na ame sia ame ŋkeke ɖeka. Ale dɔwɔlawo yi waingble la me ɖadze dɔa gɔme.
(and *o*) Having agreed then with the workmen for a denarius for the day he sent them into the vineyard of him.
3 “Le gaƒoƒo ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, ekpɔ ame aɖewo le asi me siwo menɔ dɔ aɖeke wɔm o.
And having gone out about (the *k*) third hour he saw others already standing in the marketplace idle
4 Ekplɔ woawo hã yi eƒe agble la me, eye wòdo ŋugbe na wo be yeaxe ga home si dze la na wo ne ŋkeke la wu nu.
and to those he said; do go also you yourselves into the vineyard, and whatever if shall be right I will give you. And they went.
5 Le ŋdɔ ga wuieve me la, egaɖo ame bubuwo hã ɖe agble la me, eye anɔ abe ga etɔ̃ me ene la, egaɖo ame bubuwo hã ɖa nenema ke.
Again (then *no*) having gone out about [the] sixth and ninth hour he did likewise.
6 “Ke esi wòƒo ɣetrɔ ga atɔ̃ la, egayi dua me, eye wògakpɔ ame aɖewo woli dɔ aɖeke mawɔmawɔe. Ebia wo be, ‘Nu ka ta mieli alea ko dɔ aɖeke mawɔmawɔe ŋkeke blibo la ɖo?’
About then the eleventh (hour *k*) having gone out he found others already standing (idle *K*) and he says to them; Why here you have stood all the day idle?
7 “Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, ‘Ame aɖeke meva tsɔ mí be míawɔ dɔ na ye o.’ “Agbletɔ la gblɔ na wo be, ‘Ekema miyi nye agble me, eye miakpe ɖe ame siwo le dɔ wɔm le afi ma la ŋu.’
They say to him Because no [one] us has hired. He says to them; do go also You yourselves into the vineyard’ (and what if shall be right you will receive. *K*)
8 “Azɔ esi fiẽ ɖo la, agbletɔ la yɔ eƒe gadzikpɔla be neva xe fe na dɔwɔlawo, eye wòadze egɔme tso ame siwo wòɖo ɖe agble la me mamlɛa la dzi.
Evening then having arrived says the master of the vineyard to the foreman of him; do call the workmen and do pay to them the wages having begun from the last until the first.
9 Gadzikpɔla la yɔ ame siwo yi agble la me le ga atɔ̃ me la vɛ, eye wòxe ŋkeke ɖeka blibo ƒe fetu na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
And having come (now *o*) those [hired] about the eleventh hour they received each a denarius.
10 Esia ta esi wòyɔ ame siwo va gbã la vɛ la, woawo nɔ bubum be yewoƒe fetu akɔ wu ame siwo va le ga atɔ̃ me la tɔ, gake kpao; ga home ma sinu ke ko wòxe na woawo hã.
(And *no*) having come (now *k*) the first they thought that (more *N(k)O*) they will receive; but they received (those *no*) each a denarius also themselves.
11 “Ame gbãtɔwo he nya ɖe agbletɔ la ŋu vevie gblɔ be,
Having received now they were grumbling against the master of the house
12 ‘Ame siawo la, gaƒoƒo ɖeka pɛ ko wowɔ dɔ, ke nu ka ta woxɔ fetu wòsɔ kple mí ame siwo wɔ dɔ ŋkeke blibo la katã le ŋdɔ sesẽ nu la tɔ ɖo?’
saying (that: *k*) These the last one hour worked, and equal to us them you have made, to [we] who having borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
13 “Agbletɔa gblɔ na wo be, ‘Nɔviwo, nyemedze agɔ le mia dzi o; ɖe menye miawo ŋutɔe lɔ̃ be ame sia ame axɔ sidi wuieve si nye ŋkeke ɖeka ƒe fetu oa?
And answering to one of them he said; Friend, not I do wrong you; Surely for a denarius you did agree with me?
14 Mexee na mi, eya ta mitsɔe miadzo. Nye ŋutɔe lɔ̃ xe ga home ma ke na ame sia ame.
do take what [is] yours and do go. I desire now to this last to give as also to you;
15 Ɖe mɔ meli be be ame naxe ga home si dze eŋu la na nɔvia? Ɖe wòle be miado dziku, elabena mewɔ dɔmenyoa?’
Or surely it is lawful for me what I want to do with that which [is] mine? (Or *N(K)O*) the eye of you envious is because I myself generous am?
16 Esia ta gbãtɔwo azu mamlɛtɔwo eye mamlɛtɔwo azu gbãtɔwo.”
Thus will be the last first and the first last (many for are called few now chosen. *KO*)
17 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dze mɔ ɖo ta Yerusalem, eye esi wole mɔa dzi la, eɖe kpɔ nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo,
And (soon to be *O*) (now *o*) (going up *NK(o)*) Jesus to Jerusalem He took the twelve disciples aside [on their] own and on the way He said to them;
18 hegblɔ nu siwo ava dzɔ ɖe edzi nenye be woɖo Yerusalem la na wo. Egblɔ na wo be, “Woadem asi na Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔlagãwo kple sefialawo, eye woatso kufia nam.
Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death
19 Woatsɔm ade asi na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o, eye amewo aɖu fewu le ŋunye. Woaklãm ɖe atitsoga ŋu maku, gake le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, mafɔ.”
and they will betray Him to the Gentiles unto to mock and to flog and to crucify; and on the third day (He will rise again. *N(k)O*)
20 Eva eme be Zebedeo ƒe vi eveawo dada va Yesu gbɔ, dze klo ɖe eƒe akɔme, eye wòbiae be wòawɔ dɔmenyo tɔxɛ aɖe na ye.
Then came to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with the sons of her kneeling down and asking something (away from *N(k)O*) Him.
21 Yesu biae be, “Nu ka dim nèle be mawɔ na wò?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Medi be nàna be vinye ŋutsuvi eve siawo nanɔ fiazikpui eve dzi le wò ɖusi kple mia me le wò fiaɖuƒe la me.”
And He said to her; What do you desire? She says to Him; do say that may sit these two sons of mine one on [the] right hand of You and one on [the] left hand (of You *no*) in the kingdom of You.
22 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Mènya nu si biam nèle la o!” Azɔ etrɔ ɖe Yakobo kple Yohanes ŋu, eye wòbia wo be, “Miawo hã, miate ŋu anɔ te ɖe fu dziŋɔ si kpe ge mala kpuie la nua?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, míate ŋui.”
Answering now Jesus said; Not you know what you ask for. Are you able to drink the cup which I myself am about to drink (and *K(o)*) (baptism what I myself am baptized to be baptized? *K*) They say to Him; We are able.
23 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Anɔ eme be miate ŋu akpe fu dziŋɔ si kpe ge mala la, gake anyinɔnɔ ɖe nye ɖusi kple mia me ya la, ŋusẽ mele asinye be matɔ asi ame siwo anɔ afi ma la dzi o. Fofonye ŋutɔ tia ame siwo anɔ teƒe siawo la da ɖi xoxo.”
(and *k*) He says to them; Indeed the cup of Mine You will drink (and baptism what I myself am baptized will be baptized *K*) but to sit on [the] right hand of Me and on [the] left (of me *k*) not is Mine (this *n*) to give, but [to those] for whom it has been prepared by the Father of Mine.
24 Dɔ me ve nusrɔ̃la ewo mamlɛawo ŋutɔ esi wose nu si nɔvi eveawo, Yakobo kple Yohanes, yi ɖabia Yesu la.
And having heard [this] the ten were indignant about the two brothers.
25 Ke Yesu yɔ wo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe eɖokui gbɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Le dzimaxɔsetɔwo dome la, fiawo ɖua wo teviwo dzi kple asi sesẽ, eye nenema ke dɔnunɔlawo hã ɖua fia ɖe wo teviwo dzi.
And Jesus having called to [him] them said; You know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them.
26 Nyemedi be nenem nu sia nanɔ miawo hã dome o. Ame si le mia dome si di be yeanye mia nunɔla la, eyae wòle be wòanye miaƒe subɔla,
Not thus (now *k*) (will it be *NK(o)*) among you, but who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall wish among you great to become, (he will be *N(k)O*) your servant;
27 eye ame si di be yeanye gbãtɔ le mi katã dome la, eyae wòle be wòanye miaƒe subɔla anɔ dɔ tsɔm na mi.
and who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall wish among you to be first, (he will be *N(k)O*) your slave;
28 Ele be miaƒe nuwɔna nanɔ abe tɔnye ene, elabena Nye Amegbetɔ Vi la, nyemeva be woasubɔm o, ke boŋ ɖe meva be masubɔ amewo, eye matsɔ nye agbe ana ɖe ame geɖewo ƒe ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ ta.”
even as the Son of Man not came to be served but to serve and to give the life of Him [as] a ransom for many.
29 Esi Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo do go le Yeriko dua me dzo yina la, ameha gã aɖe kplɔ wo ɖo.
And when were going out they from Jericho followed Him a crowd great.
30 Ŋkuagbãtɔ eve nɔ anyi ɖe mɔ si dzi wòto va yina la to. Esi wose be Yesu gbɔna mɔ ma dzi to ge ava yi la, wode asi ɣlidodo me bobobo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be, “Aƒetɔ, Fia David ƒe Vi, kpɔ nublanui na mí!”
And behold two blind [men] sitting beside the road, having heard that Jesus is passing by, cried out saying; do have mercy on us Lord (Jesus *O*) (Son *NK(O)*) of David.
31 Amewo blu ɖe wo ta be woazi ɖoɖoe, gake kpao; fifi kura gɔ̃ woƒe gbe ganɔ dzi dem ɖe edzi wu be, “Aƒetɔ David vi la, kpɔ nublanui na mi.”
And the crowd rebuked them that they may be silent. But all the more (they cried out *N(k)O*) saying: do have mercy on us Lord, (Son *NK(O)*) of David.
32 Yesu tɔ, eye wòyɔ wo vɛ hebia wo be, “Nu ka miedi be mawɔ na mi?”
And having stopped Jesus called them and said; What do you desire I may do unto you?
33 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, míedi be míaƒe ŋkuwo naʋu míakpɔ nu.”
They say to Him; Lord, that (may be opened *N(k)O*) the eyes of us.
34 Woƒe nu wɔ nublanui na Yesu ŋutɔ, eya ta eka asi woƒe ŋkuawo ŋu. Ŋkuawo ʋu enumake, eye ameawo de asi nukpɔkpɔ me. Ale woawo hã kplɔ Yesu ɖo kple dzidzɔ gã aɖe.
Having been moved with compassion then Jesus touched the (eyes *N(k)O*) of them, and immediately they received sight (of them eyes *k*) and they followed Him.
