Mathayo 20

1 “Nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũhaana ta mũndũ warĩ na gĩthaka, ũrĩa woimagarire rũciinĩ tene akaandĩke andũ a kũruta wĩra mũgũnda wake wa mĩthabibũ.

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 Na aarĩkanĩra nao atĩ nĩekũmarĩha dinari mũthenya ũcio, akĩmatũma makarute wĩra mũgũnda-inĩ wake wa mĩthabibũ.

(and *o*) Having agreed then with the workmen for a denarius for the day he sent them into the vineyard of him.

3 “Ta thaa ithatũ nĩoimagarire na akĩona andũ angĩ marũngiĩ thoko-inĩ matarĩ ũndũ meekaga.

And having gone out about (the *k*) third hour he saw others already standing in the marketplace idle

4 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘O na inyuĩ-rĩ, thiĩi mũkarute wĩra mũgũnda-inĩ wakwa wa mĩthabibũ, na nĩngũmũrĩha o kĩrĩa kĩagĩrĩire.’

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ. “Ningĩ akiumagara rĩngĩ ta thaa thita, na thaa kenda agĩĩka o ũguo.

Again (then *no*) having gone out about [the] sixth and ninth hour he did likewise.

6 Na ta thaa ikũmi na ĩmwe, akiumagara na akĩona andũ angĩ marũngiĩ o hau. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũtinde mũrũngiĩ haha mũthenya mũgima mũtarĩ ũndũ mũreka?’

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 “Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtwandĩkire.’ “Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘O na inyuĩ thiĩi mũkarute wĩra mũgũnda-inĩ wakwa wa mĩthabibũ.’

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 “Gwatuka-rĩ, mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ akĩĩra mũrũgamĩrĩri wa wĩra wake atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩta aruti a wĩra ũmarĩhe mũcaara, wambĩrĩirie na arĩa maandĩkirwo thuutha, ũrĩkie na arĩa maandĩkirwo mbere.’

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 “Aruti a wĩra arĩa maandĩkĩtwo thaa ikũmi na ĩmwe moka, makĩrĩhwo dinari ĩmwe o mũndũ.

And having come (now *o*) those [hired] about the eleventh hour they received each a denarius.

10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa arĩa maandĩkĩtwo mbere mookire-rĩ, meeciirĩtie mekũrĩhwo makĩria. No rĩrĩ, o nao maarĩhirwo dinari ĩmwe o mũndũ.

(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 Maarĩkia kũrĩhwo, makĩambĩrĩria kũnugunĩkĩra mwene mũgũnda.

Having received now they were grumbling against the master of the house

12 Makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ arĩa marigirie kwandĩkwo-rĩ, marutire wĩra o ithaa rĩmwe, na wamaiganania na ithuĩ arĩa twatinda wĩra na mĩnoga na kũhĩa nĩ riũa.’

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 “Nake agĩcookeria ũmwe wao atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrata wakwa, ndinagwĩka ũũru. Githĩ tũtirĩkanĩire atĩ ngũrĩhe dinari ĩmwe?

And answering to one of them he said; Friend, not I do wrong you; Surely for a denarius you did agree with me?

14 Kĩoe mũcaara waku ũthiĩ. Nĩ niĩ ndenda kũrĩha mũndũ ũcio wandĩkirwo thuutha o ta ũguo ndakũrĩha.

do take what [is] yours and do go. I desire now to this last to give as also to you;

15 Githĩ ndirĩ na kĩhooto gĩa gwĩka ũrĩa ngwenda na mbeeca ciakwa? Kana ũraigua ũiru tondũ ndĩ mũtaana?’

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 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa marĩ thuutha, magaatuĩka a mbere, na arĩa marĩ mbere magaatuĩka a thuutha.”

Thus will be the last first and the first last (many for are called few now chosen. *KO*)

17 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aambataga Jerusalemu-rĩ, nĩetire arutwo ake arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ keheri-inĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ,

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 “Twerekeire kwambata Jerusalemu, na kũu Mũrũ wa Mũndũ nĩagakunyanĩrwo aneanwo kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho. Nao nĩmakamũtuĩra kũũragwo

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 na nĩmakamũneana kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ anyũrũrio na ahũũrwo na kĩboko na mamwambe mũtĩ igũrũ. Na mũthenya wa gatatũ nĩakariũkio!”

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 Thuutha ũcio, nyina wa ciana cia Zebedi nĩokire kũrĩ Jesũ arĩ na ariũ ake, agĩturia ndu, akĩmũthaitha amũhingĩrie ũndũ mũna.

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 Nake Jesũ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũkwenda?” Akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra atĩ ũmwe wa aanake aya akwa eerĩ magaikara ũmwe mwena waku wa ũrĩo, na ũcio ũngĩ mwena waku wa ũmotho ũthamaki-inĩ waku.”

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 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtiũĩ ũrĩa mũrahooya. No mũhote kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩrĩa ngũnyuĩra?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, no tũhote.”

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 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩ mũkaanyuĩra gĩkombe gĩakwa, no gũikara mwena wakwa wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho ti niĩ heanaga. Itĩ icio ikaaheo arĩa mathondekeirwo cio nĩ Baba.”

(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 Rĩrĩa arutwo acio angĩ ikũmi maiguire ũhoro ũcio, makĩrakarĩra arutwo acio eerĩ a nyina ũmwe.

And having heard [this] the ten were indignant about the two brothers.

25 Nake Jesũ akĩmeeta hamwe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũũĩ atĩ aathani a Ndũrĩrĩ nĩ metũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩa andũ ao, na anene ao nĩmamaathaga na hinya.

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 No rĩrĩ, gũtikanahaane ũguo gatagatĩ kanyu. Handũ ha ũguo, ũrĩa ũngĩenda gũtuĩka mũnene thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, nĩ atuĩke ndungata yanyu,

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 na ũrĩa ũngĩenda gũtuĩka wa mbere thĩinĩ wanyu nĩatuĩke ngombo yanyu,

and who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall wish among you to be first, (he will be *N(k)O*) your slave;

28 o ta ũrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ atookire gũtungatĩrwo, no ookire gũtungata, na arute muoyo wake ũtuĩke thogora wa gũkũũra andũ aingĩ.”

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 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ na arutwo ake moimaga Jeriko-rĩ, andũ aingĩ makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.

And when were going out they from Jericho followed Him a crowd great.

30 Nao andũ eerĩ atumumu maikarĩte mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, na rĩrĩa maiguire atĩ nĩ Jesũ wahĩtũkaga-rĩ, makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, Mũrũ wa Daudi, tũiguĩre tha!”

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 Gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ gĩkĩmakaania, gĩkĩmeera makire, no-o magĩkĩrĩrĩria kwanĩrĩra, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, Mũrũ wa Daudi, tũiguĩre tha!”

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 Nake Jesũ akĩrũgama, akĩmeeta. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrenda ndĩmwĩkĩre atĩa?”

And having stopped Jesus called them and said; What do you desire I may do unto you?

33 Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, tũrakũhooya o tũcooke kuona.”

They say to Him; Lord, that (may be opened *N(k)O*) the eyes of us.

34 Nake Jesũ akĩmaiguĩra tha, akĩmahutia maitho. Na kahinda o kau makĩambĩrĩria kuona, makĩmũrũmĩrĩra.

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.
