Matayu 20
1 “Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana hangu. Kuweriti na muntu yakalilawa mandawira putiputi kugenda kuwatula wantu watendi lihengu mulirambu lyakuwi lya mizyabibu.
For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.
2 Kapataniti nawomberi shibenamgongu sha lishaka limu, na kawajega wantu wamu mulirambu lyakuwi lya mizyabibu.
And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.
3 Kalawa saa tatu mandawira kagenda pahala pa soku kawawona wantu wamonga wagoloka paliya wahera lihengu.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others in the market-place doing nothing;
4 Su kawagambira, ‘Mwenga mgendi mwakatendi lihengu mulirambu lya mizyabibu, neni hanuwapanani shibenamgongu.’
And he said to them, Go into the vine-garden with the others, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went to work.
5 Su womberi wagenda. Mweni kana lirambu kawuka kayi saa sita na saa tisa palwala, katenditi ntambu iraa.
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same.
6 Payiweriti pakwegera na mshenji kuzyeta pakagenditi pahala pa soku, kawawoniti wantu wamonga wankali wankugoloka paliya. Yomberi kawakosiya, ‘Iwera hashi mgoloka panu paliwala poseri pota kutenda lihengu?’
And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others doing nothing; and he says to them, Why are you here all the day doing nothing?
7 Womberi wamwankula, ‘Kwahera muntu yakatupa lihengu twenga.’ Na yomberi kawagambira, ‘Mwenga mgendi na kutenda lihengu mulirambu lyaneni lya mizyabibu.’
They say to him, Because no man has given us work. He says to them, Go in with the rest, into the vine-garden.
8 “Mshenji paguzyetiti yakana lirambu kiziti na kamgambiriti mtula mpiya gwakuwi, ‘Guwashemi watenda lihengu na guwapanani vibenamgongu vyawu, gwanjiti kuwapanana yanuwajegiti muupeleru na gumaliri kwa kuwapanana walii yanuwajegiti kwanja.’
And when evening came, the lord of the vine-garden said to his manager, Let the workers come, and give them their payment, from the last to the first.
9 Wantu yawanjiti kutenda lihengu mshenji kuzyeta, gumpanani kila muntu shibenamgongu sha lishaka limu.
And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.
10 Su wantu waliya yawaweriti wakwanja kwiza kutenda lihengu wiziti kutola mpiya zyawu, womberi waliholiti kuwera hawapati mpiya nentu kuliku womberi, kumbiti wapatiti vibenamgongu vyawu kila muntu.
Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.
11 Womberi watoliti mpiya zyawu na wanjiti kumuhinginiziya mtuwa yakawajegiti kutenda lihengu.
And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,
12 Watakula, ‘Wantu awa yaguwajegiti kutenda lihengu muupeleru, watenda lihengu lisaa limu hera, twenga tutenda lihengu kwanjira mandawira mpaka mshenji kuzyeta, tuvumiliya mshenji gukalipa, su gwenga gutulipa twenga ntambu yaguwalipa womberi!’
Saying, These last have done only one hour's work, and you have made them equal to us, who have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat.
13 “Mtuwa ulii kamwankula yumu gwawu, ‘Gupikaniri ganja, nukupunja ndiri shintu! Toziya gujimilirana na neni nukulipi shibenamgongu.
But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?
14 Vinu gutoli malipu gaku na gugendi ukaya. Nfira kumupa muntu ayu yanumjegiti muupeleru kutenda lihengu, shibenamgongu ntambu yanukupanana gwenga.
Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.
15 Hashi, neni nekeziwa ndiri kutenda ntambu yanfira kutendera mpiya zangu? Ama gumonera weya toziya neni ntanga wantu?’”
Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good?
16 Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Su wantu woseri yawawoneka wakuupeleru vinu, hawaweri wakwanja na wantu woseri yawawoneka wakwanja vinu, hawaweri wakuupeleru.”
So the last will be first, and the first last.
17 Yesu pakaweriti kankugenda Yerusalemu, kawatoliti wafundwa wakuwi lilongu na wawili pambwega na kuwagambira gweka yawu pawaweriti wankugendagenda.
And when Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples on one side, and said to them,
18 Kawagambira, “Mpikaniri, twankugenda Yerusalemu, aku Mwana gwa Muntu hawambati na kumjega kwa Watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru. Womberi hawamtozi kumlaga
See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,
19 na hawawapanani wantu wa isi zimonga, womberi hawamtenderi lidufiya na hawamkomi na hawamlagi kwa kumkong'ondera mulupingika na lishaka lya tatu kwanjira pakahowiti hakazyuki.”
And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.
20 Shakapanu mdala gwa Zebedayu kiziti kwa Yesu pamuhera na wana wakuwi wawili, kamsuntamalira na kumluwa shintu.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.
21 Yesu kamkosiya, “Gufira shishi?” Mawu uliya kamwankula, “Gunahidi neni kuwera wana waneni awa wawili hawalivagi yumu uwega waku wa kumliwu na yumonga uwega waku wa kumshigi, shipindi paguwera Mfalumi.”
And he said to her, What is your desire? She says to him, Let my two sons be seated, the one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.
22 Yesu kawankula wana walii, “Muvimana ndiri shamluwa. Hashi, muweza kulandira lutekeru lwa ndabibiku lwanfira kulandira neni?” Womberi wamwankula, “Tuweza.”
But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?
23 Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka hamlandiri lutekeru lwangu. Kumbiti neni hapeni ntakuli yoshi hakalivagi kumliwu ama kumshigi kwaneni. Shitwatira ashi ndo sha woseri yawatulilwa kala na Tati gwangu.”
They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.
24 Wafundwa wamonga walii pawapikaniriti aga, wawakalaliti walongu wawili walii.
And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.
25 Su Yesu kawashema woseri pamuhera na kawagambira, “Muvimana kuwera wakolamlima wa isi zimonga wankuwakola wantu wawu kwa makakala na walongoziya wawu wanauwezu nentu.
But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
26 Kumbiti kwa mwenga naiwera gambira womberi pakati penu. Handa pakati penu kwana muntu yakafira kuwera mkulu, kaweri ntumintumi gwa wantu woseri.
Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;
27 Handa pakati penu kwana muntu yakafira kuwera gwa kwanja, kaweri ntumintumi gwenu.
And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:
28 Na neni Mwana gwa Muntu niziti ndiri wantenderi, kumbiti niziti kutenda na kuwulaviya ukomu wangu, su nuwalopoziyi wantu wavuwa.”
Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.
29 Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi wakuwi pakaweriti wankuwuka lushi lwa Yeriku, lipinga likulu lya wantu limfatiti.
And when they were going out from Jericho, a great number went after him.
30 Su kuweriti na wanalwisi wawili walivaga pampeku pa njira, wapikiniriti kuwera Yesu kankupita peni paliya, su wanjiti kubotanga, “Mtuwa, Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.
31 Lipinga lya wantu liwakalipira na kuwagambira wanyamali. Kumbiti womberi wongera kubotanga, “Mtuwa, Mwana gwa Dawudi! Gutuwoneri lusungu!”
And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.
32 Yesu kagoloka kawashema womberi. Su kawakosiya, “Mfira nuwatenderi shishi?”
And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?
33 Womberi wamwankula, “Mtuwa, tuluwa kuwona!”
They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be open.
34 Su Yesu kawawonera lusungu, kawashinkula masu gawu, na palaa paliya waweziti kuwona na wamfatiti.
And Jesus, being moved with pity, put his fingers on their eyes: and straight away they were able to see, and went after him.
