< Mathayo 20 >

1 Hwa huje uumwene wa humwanya ulengene yalinugunda yadamuye ishandawe napwi, awale aweshe awawomba mbombo huugonda gwankwe lwa mizabibu.
For the kingdom of heaven is like an employer who went out in the early morning to hire laborers for his vineyards.
2 Baada ya huentehana na awawomba mbombo dinari yeka hwisiku, ahawatuma awale hugonda gwankwe gwa mizabibu.
He agreed with the laborers to pay them the standard daily rate of two silver coins, and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ahawalo antele lwagashila amasala gatatu eshi ahawalola awawomba mbombo awamwao wahahemeleye bila mbombo husokoni.
On going out again, about nine o’clock, he saw some others standing in the marketplace, doing nothing.
4 Awawozyo, 'Amwe walaji hugonda wa mizabibu, hahonti hahali sawa imbalahuwapele.' Newowahavyala awombe imbombo.
‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you what is fair.’
5 Ahawala nantele lwagashila amasala sita ahawomba sheesho na masala tisa.
So they went. Going out again about midday and about three o’clock, he did as before.
6 Ahawalilo awhamwao nantele mumasala gakumi na moja, akhawala ahawanga awantu awhamwao wemeleye bila mbombo. Ahawawozya, 'Shonu mwemeleye epa bila mbombo yuyonti husiku lyonti?
When he went out about five, he found some others standing there, and said to them ‘Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?’
7 Wahamuonzya aje numo umuntu wowonti yatipelile imbombo. Ahawawozya, 'Amwe namwe walanji hugonda ugwi mizabibu.'
‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. ‘You also may go into my vineyard,’ he said.
8 Amasala giliewela lwagaia, umwenesho gonda gwi mizabibu ahamozya umwemelizi wakwe, wakwunzye awawomba mbombo uwasombe umshahala, uyande uwa mwisho mpaka uwahwande.'
In the evening the owner of the vineyard said to his steward ‘Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.’
9 Lwawafiha wala wamasala ga kumi na moja, shilaweka ahaposheye idinari.
Now when those who had been hired about five o’clock went up, they received two silver coins each.
10 Lwawafiha owawomba mbombo awagwande wahasewele aje wazaposheye dinari yeka kila muntu.
So, when the first went up, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received two silver coins each;
11 Lwawaposhela amalipo gao, waha nalamishila umwenesho gonda.
at which they began to grumble at their employer.
12 Wahayanga, 'Ewa awawomba mbombo wa mwisho wejile isala lyenka wene kaliko awombe imbombo, lakini atifananisizye nate, ate linyumoye izigo hwisiku lyonti, nawine ni lyonto.'
‘These last,’ they said, ‘have done only one hour’s work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day’s work, and the heat.’
13 Eshi umwenesho goda ahajibu weka wao, 'Kundanu, sagaimbombile ijambo lwiwi. Je! sagalahentehene nane idinari yeka?
‘My friend,’ was his reply to one of them, ‘I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me for two silver coins?
14 Ega hahali haho halali sogolaga. Ane ishiye huwapele ewa awawomba mbombo wimbagwelezizye humwisho sawa sawa nawe.
Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Je! Sagagolosu huliwe awombe shihwanza ni maliyane? Au ilisolyaho li wiwi aje ane indi minza?
Don’t I have the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am generous?’
16 Eshi uwamwisho anzawe wa hwande na uwahwande azawe wa humwisho.”
So those who are last will be first, and the first last.”
17 U Yesu lwahazuwa awale Huyerusalemu, awawenjile awanafunzi wakwe kumi na wawele pambembe mwidala ahawawozya,
When Jesus was on the point of going up to Jerusalem, he gathered the twelve disciples around him by themselves, and said to them as they were on their way,
18 “Enyi tiwala Huyerusalemu, na umwana wa Adamu wanzahumeshe mnyowe inzya wagosi wa Amakuhani na awandisi. Wanzahunonje afye,
“Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death,
19 wanzahufumye hwa wantu wa munsi na munsi ili wasonsye, washente, na hukhowehenye. Lakini isiku ilya tatu ahaizyoha.”
and give him up to the Gentiles for them to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and on the third day he will rise.”
20 Eshi umanye wa wana wa Zebedayo ahezele hwa Yesu na wana wakwe. Ahasugamila amafugamo hwitangalila lyankwe ahanawa ahantu afume hwakwe.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favor.
21 U Yesu ahamozya, “Uhulanzashi?” Ahamozya, “Lajizwa aje ewa awana wane wawele wakhale, weka hukhono waho wa hunelo na weka hukhono waho wa humwongo huu umwene waho.”
“What is it that you want?” he asked. “I want you to say,” she replied, “that in your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left.”
22 Walakini u Yesu ahayanga na humuozye, “Saga umenye ahantu hulawa. Je! Uwajie amwelele ishikombe shinza mwelele?” Wamuozya, “Tuwajie.”
“You do not know what you are asking,” was Jesus’ answer. “Can you drink the cup that I am to drink?” “Yes,” they exclaimed, “we can.”
23 Awawawuzya, “Ishikombe shane lioli munza mwelele. Lakini akhale ukhono gwane wahunelona ukhona gwane ugwa humongo, sanga mbombo yane huwapele, lakini Udada wane awaweshe wala yawamenye.”
“You will indeed drink my cup,” he said, “but as to a seat at my right and at my left – that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
24 Awanafunzi awamwawo kumi lwawovya esho, wahazungumila hani na wala awahola wawele.
On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.
25 Lakini u Yesu ahawakwizya wawewo ahawa wozya, “Mmenye aje awalawala wa munsi wahongofya na awagosi wao wawomba amamlaka ganu mwanya yao.
Jesus, however, called the ten to him, and said, “The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them as you know, and their high officials oppress them.
26 Lakini isahawye esho humwenyu ishinyumw shakwe. Wowonti yahwazawe gosi hulimwe awe lazima amwe muwomba mbombo wenyu.
Among you it is not so.
27 Na yanzawe wa hwanda hulimwe amwe lazima awye muomba mbombo wenyu.
No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to take the first place among you, must be your slave;
28 Nanzi umwana wa Adamu sagaahezele awombelwe imbombo bali awombe imbombo hulimwe amwe, na afumye uwomi wakwe uwe ukombolewa huwinchi.”
just as the Son of Man came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29 Lwawahepanga Huyeriko, ikundi igosi lyahafuatile.
As they were going out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
30 Wahawalolile wawabadiye amaso wawele wakheye mumbembe mubarabara. Lwawonvwa aje u Yesu wa shilaga, waha wajile ishogo na yanje, “Bwana mwana wa Daudi utusajile.”
Two blind men who were sitting by the roadside, hearing that Jesus was passing, called out, “Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!”
31 Lakini ikundi lyahawadamie na huwawozye wapume niyie. Hatesho awene wahabwajile ishongo, hani nayanje, “Bwana, mwana wa Daudi, utusanjile.”
The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder, “Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!”
32 Epo u Yesu akhemelela na huwakwinzye na huwawuzye, “Mhwanza aje imbawombele iyenu?”
Then Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he said.
33 Wahayanga, “Bwana amaso gentu gafumbulilwe.”
“Master,” they replied, “we want our eyes to be opened.”
34 Epo u Yesu avutwa awasajila, wapalamasya amaso gao, waposhela pepo ingovu ya lole wahafyenta.
So Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight, and followed him.
