Matio 20
1 Ie añe izay le hoe t’i Iesoà amo mpiama’eo: Ampanahafeñe ami’ty talèn’ anjomba, i fifehean-dikerañey, ie nañaleñaleñe nañèke ondaty ho amy tetem-bahe’ey.
For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 Naè’e ami’ty bogady raike iereo ho ami’ty andro raike, le nirahe’e mb’an-tetem-bahe’e mb’eo.
He agreed to pay the workers one denarius for the day, and sent them to work in his vineyard.
3 Niavotse indraike re ami’ty ora faha telo vaho nitendreke ondaty nisarasara an-tsena ao,
Around 9 a.m. he went out and saw others without work standing in the marketplace.
4 hoe re tam’ iereo: Akia mb’an-teteko ao ka, vaho hatoloko anahareo ze mañeva. Le nimb’eo iereo.
‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I'll pay you what's right,’ he told them. So they went to work.
5 Niavotse indraike re nanao if zay ami’ty ora fah’ eneñe naho amy faha-sivey, le nampanahafe’ amy teoy.
Around noon and 3 p.m. he went out and did the same thing.
6 Niakatse amy ora faha folo-raik’ ambiy re nahaoniñe ty ila’e nihenekeneke ey, le hoe ty nanoa’e: Akore t’ie mijohajohañe etoañe lomoñandro?
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 Hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Ie tsy amam-pañeke, le hoe re am’iereo: Akia mb’an-teteko mb’eo ka.
‘Because nobody has hired us,’ they replied. ‘Go and work in the vineyard too,’ he told them.
8 Ie hariva, hoe ty asa’ i talèn-tetem-bahey amy mpisarim-piekey: Ikoiho hanolorako ty karama’ iareo, mifototse ami’ty fara’e, pak’ ami’ty valoha’e.
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 Nandrambe bogady raike o am-para’eo.
When those who were hired at 5 p.m. came in, they each received one denarius.
10 Aa le natao’ o valoha’eo t’ie ho nandrambe mandikoatse, te mone songa natolo’e bogady raike.
So when those who were hired first came in, they thought they would get more, but they also received one denarius.
11 Le nitreontreoñe amy talèn-tetem-bahey i valoha’e rey
When they received their pay, they complained to the owner.
12 ami’ty hoe: Ora raike ty nitoloña’ i fara’e retia, fe nampirae’o ama’ay nifanehake ami’ty hatrovoha’ i àndroy.
‘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 Tinoi’e ty hoe ty raike ama’e: O rañeko, Tsy nanoeko ama’o ty tsi-to; tsy nañeke azo ami’ty bogady raike hao?
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 Rambeso le akia, he satriko ty manolotse ami’ty hengaha’e tia mira amy azoy,
Take your pay and go. I want to pay those who were hired last the same as I paid you.
15 tsy mete hao te hanoeko i satrikoy? maha-mandofirim-pihaino’o hao te izaho matarike?
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 Aa le ho valoha’e ty fara’e, vaho ho fara’e ty valoha’e. Maro ty koiheñe fe tsy ampeampe ty ho joboñeñe.
In this way the last shall be first and the first shall be last.”
17 Ie narivo’ Ierosaleme t’i Iesoà, le natola’e i mpiama’e folo ro’amby rey, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe:
On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside as they walked along and told them,
18 Inao! mionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo tika; le hatolotse amo Androanavy naho mpisoroñe lohà’eo i Ana’ ondatiy vaho hafà’ iereo havetrake,
“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 le hasese amo kilakila ondatio ho lafañe naho hohofan-doza; f’ie hitroatse ami’ty andro fahatelo.
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 Nimb’ama’e mb’eo ty tañanjomba’ i Zebedia rekets’ i ana’e rey, niambane vaho nihalaly ama’e.
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 Hoe re tama’e: Inoñe o paia’oo? le hoe re. Te ihe handily ty amo anako roe retoañe te hitoboke am-pità’o havàna eo ty raike vaho ankavia’o eo ty raike am-pifehea’o ao.
“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 Natoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Tsy apota’ areo ty halali’ areo. Lefe’ areo hao ty hinoñe amy fitovy hinomakoy? Tinoi’ iereo ty hoe: Lefe’ay.
“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 Le hoe re am’iereo: Nomo i fitovikoy, fe ty hiambesatse an-kavanako naho an-kaviako eo, tsy ahiko hatolotse, fa ho a i nihalankañañe aze aolon-dRaey.
“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 Ie jinanji’ i folo rey, le nitorifiheñe am-pihaino’ iareo i mpirahalahy roe rey.
When the other ten disciples heard what they had asked, they were annoyed with the two brothers.
25 Tsinikao’ Iesoà iereo, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fohino te felehe’ o roandria’ ze kilakila ondatio iereo, naho mifehe’iareo ka ty bey.
Jesus called them together and told them, “You know that foreign rulers lord it over their subjects, and powerful leaders oppress them.
26 Tsy ho izay ty ama’ areo, amy te, ze mipay ho bey ama’areo le ampitoroño anahareo,
It shall not be like that for you. Whoever among you wants to be the most important will be your servant.
27 vaho ze te ho jabajaba ama’areo ty h’ondevo’ areo,
Whoever among you wants to be first will be like a slave.
28 manahake te tsy niavy ho toroñeñe i Ana’ ondatiy, fa ty hitoroñe, hanolo-batañe ho vilin’ ai’ i màroy.
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 Nigodañe e Hieriko ao iereo, ie norihe’ i lahialeñey.
As they left Jericho, a huge crowd followed Jesus.
30 Ingo niakatse mb’ añ’olon-dalañe mb’eo ty ‘ndaty fey roe naho nahajanjiñe ty fizakozakoa’ i lahialeñey le nañontane ty ama’e, naho nisaontsiañe te mañavelo mb’eo t’Iesoà nte-Nazareta, vaho nipoñafa’ iereo ty hoe: Ry Ana’ i Davide, ferenaiño zahay.
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 Fe nendaha’ i lahialeñey ami’ty hoe: Mamatsy; te mone nindrae’ iereo am-pazake ty hoe: O Rañandria, Ana’ i Davide, itretrezo.
The crowd told them to be quiet, but they shouted even louder, “Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David!”
32 Nijohañe t’i Iesoà, le kinanji’e, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Inoñe o paia’ areo hanoeko?
Jesus stopped. He called them over, asking, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 Hoe iareo: O Rañandria, ty hampibarababeake o maso’aio.
“Lord, please make us able to see,” they replied.
34 Niferenaiña’ Iesoà, le tsinapa’e o fihaino’ iareoo, naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Nampijangañe anahareo ty fatokisa’ areo, le nahaisake amy zao iereo naho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare naho nañorike aze vaho hene nañonjoñe an’Andrianañahare ondatio ty am’izay.
Jesus had pity on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed him.
