Matthew 20
1 “Tokosrai lun kusrao uh ouinge: ac oana sie mwet kacto ma toang na oatula ke lotutang in konauk kutu mwet in orekma ke ima in grape lal.
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out at dawn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
2 Elos insese elan moli nu selos ipin silver se ke len se, fal nu ke molo se orek in pacl sac, na el supwalosla nu in ima lal.
"And when he had agreed with the workmen for two shillings a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ke ao eu ke lotu sacna, el sifilpa folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh, ac konauk kutu pac mwet su tu we ac wangin ma oru.
"About nine o’clock he went out and noticed some other workmen standing idle in the market-place;
4 Na el fahk nu selos, ‘Kowos som ac wi pac orekma in ima in grape uh, ac nga fah moli nu suwos ke sie moul fal.’
"and he said to them, "‘Do you also go into the vineyard, and whatever is just I will pay you.’
5 Na elos som. Ac ke ao singoul luo ac ao tolu, el sifilpa som ac oru oana ma el oru meet ah.
"So they went. Again at noon, and about three o’clock, he went out and did the same thing.
6 Apkuran nu ke ao limekosr ke ekela, el sifil folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh ac sifilpa liyauk kutu mwet tu we, ac el fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos muta wel len fon se inge?’
"When he went out about five o’clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, "‘Why have you been standing here idle, all the day long?’
7 Na elos fahk, ‘Wangin mwet srukkutyak in orekma.’ Na el fahk, ‘Fin ouingan, kowos som wi orekma ke ima in grape ah.’
"‘Because no one has hired us,’ they replied. "He said to them, ‘Do you also go into the vineyard.’
8 “Ke ekela, mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin mwet karingin mwet orekma uh, ‘Pangonma mwet orekma ac moleang orekma lalos, mutawauk kaclos su tuku oetok nwe ke mwet ma tuku oemeet.’
"And when evening came, the Lord of the vineyard said to his steward, "‘Call the workmen and pay them their wages, beginning with the last hired and ending with the first.’
9 Na kais sie mwet ma mutawauk orekma ke ao limekosr ke eku, elos eis ipin silver se.
"When those came who had begun at five o’clock, they received two shillings apiece;
10 Ouinge ke mwet ma mutawauk oemeet in orekma elos tuku in eis molin orekma lalos, elos nunku mu ac yohk ma elos ac eis; tusruktu elos eis pacna kais sie ipin silver.
"and when the first came they supposed that they would get more, but they also received each two shillings.
11 Elos eis mani lalos ac mutawauk in torkaskas lain mwet kacto sac
"And as they took it they began to grumble against the master of the house.
12 ac fahk, ‘Mwet ma touyak oetok inge elos orekma ke ao sefanna, a kut orekma len fon se ye faht uh, ac kom moli nu selos oana ke kom moli nu sesr!’
"‘Those last men,’ they said, ‘have toiled only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the burning heat of the day.’
13 Na mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin sie selos, ‘Mwet kawuk, porongeyu. Nga tiana kutasrik nu sum. Kom tuh insese in orekma len fon se ke ipin silver se na.
"In reply he said to one of them. ‘My friend, I am doing no wrong. Did you not agree with me for two shillings?
14 Inge kom eis mani lom an ac folokla nu lohm sum. Nga lungse sang nu sin mwet se ma tuku oetok inge lupa se na ma nga sot nu sum ah.
"Take your wage and begone! I chose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Ya tia ma luk in sulela ma nga ac oru ke mani luk sifacna? Ya kom loloik mweyen nga oru wo nu selos?’”
"Have I not the right to do what I choose with my own property? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
16 Na Jesus el fahk, “Ouinge, elos su tok ac fah meet, ac elos su meet ac fah tok.”
"So the last shall be first, and the first, last."
17 Ke Jesus el ututyak nu Jerusalem, el srela mwet tumal lutlut ac kaskas nu selos inkanek uh
When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.
18 ac fahk, “Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, ac Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh. Elos ac fah wotela elan misa,
"Look! We are on the way up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death,
19 na elos fah eisalang nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, srunglul, ac unilya fin sakseng soko. Tusruktu ke len se aktolu el ac fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.”
"and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will rise from the grave."
20 In pacl sac, mutan kial Zebedee el tuku nu yurin Jesus, wi wen luo natul. El epasrla ye mutal ac fahk lah oasr ma el ke siyuk.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, kneeling down and begging a favor of him.
21 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Mea kom lungse?” Na nina sac fahk, “Wulema nu sik lah wen luo nutik inge ac fah muta, sie lac poum layot ac sie lac poum lasa, ke kom ac tokosrala uh.”
"What is it you wish?" he said. She answered, "Command that these my two sons may sit upon your right hand and your left in your kingdom."
22 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin tamulel sac, “Komtal tia etu ma komtal siyuk an. Ya komtal ac ku in nim ke cup in keok se ma nga akola in nim kac?” Ac eltal fahk, “Kut ku.”
23 Na Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah komtal ac nim kac, tusruktu tia ma luk in fahk lah su ac muta layot ac lasa sik. Acn inge ma sin mwet su Papa tumuk El akoela nu se.”
"None of you indeed shall drink," he answered, "but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24 Ke mwet tumal lutlut singoul saya elos lohng ma inge, elos arulana kasrkusrak sin tamulel sac.
When the ten heard of this, they were indignant at the two brothers;
25 Ouinge Jesus el pangnoloseni ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos etu lah mwet kol lun mwet pegan uh lungse na sapsap nu fin mwet lalos, ac mwet leum uh elos akkalemye lah ku nukewa oasr selos.
but Jesus called them to him and said. "You know how the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
26 Tusruktu, ac fah tia ouinge yuruwos. Sie suwos fin ke elan fulat inmasrlowos, el enenu in mwet kulansap lowos;
"Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you wishes to become great, shall be your minister,
27 ac sie suwos fin lungse in el emeet, enenu elan mwet foko lowos,
"and whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be your slave;
28 oana ke Wen nutin Mwet el tia tuku in tuh kulansupweyuk el, a tuh elan sie mwet kulansap, ac sang moul lal in molela mwet puspis.”
"just as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som liki acn Jericho, oasr sie un mwet na yohk fahsr tokolos.
Now as they were leaving Jericho a great crowd followed him.
30 Mwet kun luo su muta sisken innek uh lohng lah Jesus el fahsr in alukeltalla, na eltal wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sesr!”
And two blind men, sitting by the side of the road, heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried out, "Have pity on us, Master, Son of David!"
31 Mwet in u sac elos mulat nu seltal ac fahk eltal in koasrlong. A eltal wowoyak yohk liki meet ac fahk, “O Leum, Wen nutin David! Pakomutasr!”
But the crowd checked them, to make them keep still. They cried out all the louder, saying, "Master, have pity on us, Son of David!"
32 Jesus el tui, ac pangnoltal ac siyuk, “Mea komtal lungse ngan oru nu sumtal?”
Then Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
33 Ac eltal fahk, “Leum, oru tuh kut in ku in liye!”
"Master," they answered, "let our eyes be opened."
34 Jesus el pakomutaltal ac kahlye mutaltal. In pacl sacna eltal ku in liye, ac eltal fahsr tokol.
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and they saw at once, and followed him.
