Matayo 20
1 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana ng’omuntu ssemaka, eyakeera mu makya n’apangisa abakozi okukola mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu.
For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
2 N’alagaana n’abapakasi okubasasula omuwendo eddinaali emu emu, ze zaali ensimbi ez’olunaku olumu. N’abasindika mu nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu.
And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Bwe waayitawo essaawa nga bbiri n’asanga abalala nga bayimiridde mu katale nga tebalina kye bakola,
And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;
4 nabo n’abagamba nti, ‘Nammwe mugende mu nnimiro y’emizabbibu, era nnaabasasula empeera ebasaanira.’
and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Ne bagenda. “Ku ssaawa omukaaga ne ku mwenda n’asindikayo abalala mu ngeri y’emu.
Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
6 Essaawa nga ziweze nga kkumi n’emu n’asanga abalala nga bayimiridde awo, n’ababuuza nti, ‘Lwaki muyimiridde awo olunaku lwonna nga temulina kye mukola?’
But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 “Ne bamuddamu nti, ‘Kubanga tetufunye atuwa mulimu.’ N’abagamba nti, ‘Nammwe mugende mukole mu nnimiro yange ey’emizabbibu.’
They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive].
8 “Awo obudde nga buwungeera nannyini nnimiro n’alagira nampala ayite abakozi abawe empeera yaabwe ng’asookera ku b’oluvannyuma.
But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay [them] their wages, beginning from the last even to the first.
9 “Abaatandika ku ssaawa ekkumi n’emu ne baweebwa eddinaali emu emu.
And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
10 Bali abaasookayo bwe bajja ne basuubira nti bo ze banaasasulwa zijja kusingako obungi. Naye nabo yabasasula omuwendo gwe gumu ogw’olunaku olumu nga bali.
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.
11 Bwe baagifuna ne beemulugunyiza nannyini nnimiro
And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
12 nga bagamba nti, ‘Bano abooluvannyuma baakoledde essaawa emu yokka naye lwaki obawadde empeera eyenkana eyaffe, ffe abaakoze okuva mu makya ne mu musana gw’omu tuntu?’
saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.
13 “Mukama waabwe kwe kuddamu omu ku bo nti, ‘Munnange si kubbye; bwe wabadde otandika okukola tetwalagaanye eddinaali emu?
But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Twala eddinaali yo ogende. Naye njagala n’ono asembyeyo okumuwa empeera y’emu nga gye nkuwadde.
Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
15 Siyinza kukozesa byange nga bwe njagala? Obuggya bukukutte kubanga ndi wa kisa?’
is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because I am good?
16 “Kale nno bwe kityo bwe kiriba abooluvannyuma ne baba aboolubereberye, n’aboolubereberye ne baba abooluvannyuma.”
Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
17 Awo Yesu bwe yali ayambuka e Yerusaalemi n’atwala abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri, mu kyama. Bwe baali mu kkubo, n’abagamba nti,
And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to them,
18 “Laba twambuka e Yerusaalemi, Omwana w’Omuntu aliweebwayo eri bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, bamusalire omusango ogw’okufa.
Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death;
19 Era balimuwaayo eri Abamawanga ne bamuduulira ne bamukuba, era balimukomerera ku musaalaba. Naye ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukizibwa.”
and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.
20 Awo nnyina w’abaana ba Zebbedaayo, n’ajja eri Yesu ne batabani be bombi, n’amusinza ng’ayagala okubaako ky’amusaba.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.
21 Yesu n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ky’oyagala?” N’addamu nti, “Nsaba, mu bwakabaka bwo, abaana bange bano bombi batuule naawe omu ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo n’omulala ku gwa kkono.”
And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak [the word] that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.
22 Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Tomanyi ky’osaba. Muyinza okunywa ku kikompe nze kye ŋŋenda okunywako?” Ne baddamu nti, “Tuyinza.”
And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.
23 N’abagamba nti, “Weewaawo ekikompe mugenda kukinywako. Naye eky’okutuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo oba ogwa kkono nze sikirinaako buyinza. Ebifo ebyo byategekebwa dda Kitange.”
[And] he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on [my] left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24 Abayigirizwa bali ekkumi bwe baawulira ebyo abooluganda ababiri bye baasaba, ne babanyiigira nnyo.
And the ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.
25 Yesu kwe kubayita n’abagamba nti, “Mumanyi ng’abakulembeze b’abamawanga babazitoowereza embeera, n’abakulu baabwe babafuza lyanyi.
But Jesus having called them to [him], said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.
26 Naye tekisaanye kuba bwe kityo mu mmwe. Buli ayagala okubeera omukulu mu mmwe, abeerenga muweereza wa banne.
It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
27 Na buli ayagala okuba omwami mu mmwe aweerezenga banne ng’omuddu waabwe.
and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
28 Mube nga Omwana w’Omuntu atajja kuweerezebwa wabula okuweereza, n’okuwaayo obulamu bwe ng’omutango okununula abangi.”
as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be bwe baali bava mu kibuga Yeriko, ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera.
And as they went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.
30 Abazibe b’amaaso babiri abaali batudde ku mabbali g’ekkubo bwe baawulira nga Yesu ayita mu kkubo eryo, ne baleekaanira waggulu nnyo nga bakoowoola nti, “Ssebo, Omwana wa Dawudi, otusaasire!”
And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
31 Ekibiina ne kibalagira okusirika, naye bo, ne beeyongera bweyongezi okukoowoolera waggulu nga boogera nti, “Ssebo, Omwana wa Dawudi, tusasire.”
But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
32 Yesu bwe yabatuukako n’ayimirira n’ababuuza nti, “Mwagala mbakolere ki?”
And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?
33 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Mukama waffe, twagala otuzibule amaaso.”
They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Yesu n’abasaasira n’akwata ku maaso gaabwe amangwago ne gazibuka, ne bamugoberera.
And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.
