Mataio 20
1 NO ka mea, ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me kekahi kanaka mea hale, i hele aku la i kakahiaka nui e hoolimalima i ka poe paaua no kona pawaina.
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 Hoolimalima oia i kekahi poe paaua i ka denari hookahi no ka la hookahi; hoouna aku la oia ia lakou ma kona pawaina.
He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Hele hou aku la ia iwaho i ke kolu o ka hora, ike aku la ia i kekahi poe kanaka e ku hana ole ana ma kahi kuai.
About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
4 I aku la oia ia lakou, E haele hoi oukou i ka pawaina, a o ka mea pono, na'u ia e uku aku ia oukou. A hele aku la lakou.
‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
5 Hele hou aku la ia iwaho, i ke ono a i ka iwa o ka hora, a hana iho la e like mamua.
So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
6 A i ka hora umikumamakahi, hele aku la ia iwaho, ike aku la i kekahi poe e ku hana ole ana, i aku la oia ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou e ku hana ole nei a pau ka la?
About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
7 I mai la lakou ia ia, No ka mea, aohe mea nana makou i hoolimalima. I aku la oia ia lakou, E haele hoi oukou i ka pawaina, a o ka mea pono, e loaa hoi ia ia oukou.
‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
8 A ahiahi ae la, i aku la ka haku nona ka pawaina i kona puuku, E kahea aku oe i ka poe paaua, a e haawi aku ia lakou i ka uku, mai ka poe hope mai a hiki aku i ka poe mua.
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
9 A hele mai la ka poe i hoolimalimaia i ka hora umikumamakahi, loaa pakahi ia lakou ka denari.
The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
10 A hele mai la ka poe i hoolimalimaia mamua, manao iho la lakou e loaa mai ka pakela uku, a loaa pakahi ia lakou ka denari.
So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
11 A loaa iho la, ohumu iho la lakou i ka mea hale,
On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
12 I ae la, o keia poe hope, hookahi wale no hora o ka lakou hana ana, a ua hoohalike mai oe ia lakou me makou, ka poe hooikaika i ka wa luhi a me ka wela o ka la.
‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
13 Olelo aku la ia, i aku la i kekahi o lakou, E ka hoalauna, aole au i hana ino aku ia oe, aole anei oe i ae mai ia'u no ka denari hookahi?
But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
14 E lawe oe i kau, a e hele. O ko'u makemake no e haawi aku na keia poe mahope e like me kau.
Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
15 Aole anei au e pono ke hana aku me ka'u mamuli o ko'u makemake? Ua hewa anei kou maka i ko'u lokomaikai?
Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 Pela hoi ka poe hope e lilo i mua, a o ka poe mua i hope: no ka mea, he nui na mea i heaia, aka he uuku ka poe i waeia.
So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
17 I ko Iesu hele ana i Ierusalema, kai aku la ia i ka poe haumana he umikumamalua i kahi kaawale ma ke alanui, i mai la ia lakou,
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
18 Eia ke pii nei kakou i Ierusalema, a e kumakaiaia'ku ke Keiki a ke kanaka i ka poe kahuna nui a me ka poe kakauolelo; a e hoohewa lakou ia ia e make;
“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death
19 A e haawi aku hoi lakou ia ia i ko na aina e e hoomaewaewaia mai ai, a e hahauia mai ai, a e kaulia'i ma ke kea; a po akolu ae, e ala hou mai ia.
and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”
20 Alaila, punee mai io na la ka makuwahine o na keiki a Zebedaio, oia me na keiki ana; moe iho la ia imua ona, a noi aku la ia ia i kekahi mea.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him.
21 Ninau mai la o Iesu ia ia, i Heaha kou makemake? I aku la kela, E kauoha oe e noho keia mau keiki a'u elua, o kekahi ma kou lima akau, a o kekahi ma kou lima hema iloko o kou aupuni.
“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”
22 Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la, Aole oukou i ike i ka oukou mea e noi mai nei. E hiki no anei ia olua ke inu i ko ke kiaha a'u e inu ai; a e bapetizoia i ka bapetizo ana a'u e bapetizoia mai ai? I aku la laua ia ia, E hiki no ia maua.
“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.
23 Olelo mai la o Iesu ia laua, E inu no auanei olua i ko ke kiaha o'u, a e bapetizoia hoi i ka bapetizo ana a'u e bapetizoia'i; aka, o ka noho ma ko'u lima akau, a ma ko'u lima hema, aole ka'u ia e haawi aku; aia no ia no ka poe nona i hoomakaukauia'i ia mea e ko'u Makua.
“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”
24 A lohe ae la ka umi, ukiuki aku la lakou i ua mau hoahanau la elua.
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 Kahea mai la o Iesu ia lakou, i mai la, Ua ike oukou, o na alii o na lahuikanaka, ua hookiekie maluna o lakou, a o na luna hoi, ua hoounauna ia lakou.
But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
26 Aole pela ia oukou; a i manao kekahi o oukou i nui, e pono no e lilo ia i mea lawelawe na oukou.
It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 A i manao kekahi e lilo i pookela iwaena o oukou, e pono no e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—
28 Pela hoi, aole i hele mai ke Keiki a ke kanaka no ka lawelaweia mai, aka, no ka lawelawe aku, a me ka haawi aku i kona ola i kumuhoola no na mea he nui loa.
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
29 I ko lakou hele ana ae mai Ieriko aku, he nui ka poe kanaka i hahai ia ia.
As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
30 Aia hoi, elua makapo e noho ana ma kapa alanui; lohe ae la laua, o Iesu ke maalo ae, kahea mai la laua, i mai la, E aloha mai oe ia maua, e ka Haku, e ka mamo a Davida.
And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
31 Papa aku la ka poe kanaka ia laua, e hamau: a nui loa ae la ka laua kahea ana, E aloha mai oe ia maua, e ka Haku, e ka mamo a Davida.
The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Ku malie iho la o Iesu, hea aku la ia laua, i aku la, Heaha ko olua makemake e hana aku ai au ia olua?
Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.
33 I mai la laua ia ia, E ka Haku, e hookaakaaia mai ko maua mau maka.
“Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”
34 Aloha aku la o Iesu, hoopa aku la i ko laua mau maka; ike koke ae la ko laua mau maka, a hahai aku la laua ia ia.
Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
