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 the workers one denarius for the day, and sent them to work in 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.
Around 9 a.m. he went out and saw others without work standing in the marketplace.
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.
‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I'll pay you what's right,’ he told them. So they went to work.
5 Hele hou aku la ia iwaho, i ke ono a i ka iwa o ka hora, a hana iho la e like mamua.
Around noon and 3 p.m. he went out 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?
At 5 p.m. he went out and found others standing there. ‘Why are you standing around all day doing nothing?’ he asked them.
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 nobody has hired us,’ they replied. ‘Go and work in the vineyard too,’ he told them.
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 told his manager, ‘Call the workers in, and pay them their wages. Begin with the workers hired last and then move on to those hired first.’
9 A hele mai la ka poe i hoolimalimaia i ka hora umikumamakahi, loaa pakahi ia lakou ka denari.
When those who were hired at 5 p.m. came in, they each received one 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 those who were hired first came in, they thought they would get more, but they also received one denarius.
11 A loaa iho la, ohumu iho la lakou i ka mea hale,
When they received their pay, they complained to the owner.
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.
‘Those who were hired last only worked for an hour, and you've paid them the same as us who worked the whole day in the burning heat,’ they grumbled.
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?
The owner answered one of them, ‘My friend, I haven't treated you unfairly. Didn't you agree with me to work for 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 pay those who were hired last the same as I paid 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?
Can't I choose to do what I want with my own money? Why should you give me evil looks because I want to do good?’
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.
In this way the last shall be first and the first shall 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,
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside as they walked along and told them,
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're going to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and religious teachers. 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 hand him over to the foreigners to mock him, whip him, and crucify him. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead.”
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 the sons of Zebedee came with her two sons to Jesus. She kneeled down before him to make a request.
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 is it you are asking me for?” Jesus said to her. “Please appoint my sons to sit beside you in your kingdom, one on your right and the other on your left,” she asked.
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 don't know what you're asking,” Jesus told them. “Are you able to drink the cup I'm about to drink?” “Yes, we are able to do that,” they told him.
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 certainly drink from my cup,” he said to them, “but the privilege to sit on my right or on my left isn't mine to give. My Father is the one who has decided who that will be.”
24 A lohe ae la ka umi, ukiuki aku la lakou i ua mau hoahanau la elua.
When the other ten disciples heard what they had asked, they were annoyed 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.
Jesus called them together and told them, “You know that foreign rulers lord it over their subjects, and powerful leaders oppress 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 like that for you. Whoever among you wants to be the most important will 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.
Whoever among you wants to be first will be like a 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.
In the same way the Son of man didn't 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 left Jericho, a huge crowd followed Jesus.
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.
Two blind men were sitting at the side of the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, “Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David!”
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 told them to be quiet, but they shouted even louder, “Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David!”
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. He called them over, asking, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 I mai la laua ia ia, E ka Haku, e hookaakaaia mai ko maua mau maka.
“Lord, please make us able to see,” they replied.
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.
Jesus had pity on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed him.
