Mataayi 20
1 Ulwakuuva uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuli ndavule umuunhu unya mughunda, juno alyalavile fiijo kuluta kulonda avaanhu ava kuvomba imbombo mu mughunda ghwake ughwa sabibu.
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 Ye avavwene akiting'ana navo kukuvavomba uluhombo ulwa kighono kimo nujunge idinali, akavasuug'ha khu mughunda ghwake.
He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Akavalilo aka vutatu palwakilo akahuma kange akavagha avange vali pa lighililo vasila mbombo.
About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
4 Akavavula akati,'Na jumue lutagha kuvomba imbombo mu mughunda ghwango ughwa sabibu, une kyanikuvahomba mweni uluhombo luno lunoghile.
‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
5 Voope vakaluta ilijuuva ye lilipamutu akavalilo aka ntanda kange akavombile vulevule.
So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
6 Ye vwilile akavalilo aka kijigho na kamo akahuma kange akavagha avange vimile pa lighulilo. Akavaposia akati,'Kiiki mwimile apa ikighono kyoni kisila mbombo?'
About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
7 Aveene vakamwamula vakati, Ulwakuva nakwale umuunhu juno atupeliile imbombo. Umwene akavavula akati,'Na jumue lutagha kuvomba imbombo mu mughunda ghwango ughwa sabibu.'
‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
8 Ilijuva ye litetemela, unyamughunda jula akam'bula umwimili ghwa mbombo jaake akati,'Vakemele avavombambombo vooni kuuti uvahombe uluhombo lwave, Pano ghukuvahomba utengule avavombi vano vaveele visile ulwa vusililo na kumalikisia avavombi vano vaveele va kwanda kufika.'
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
9 Pe avavombi vano vasilile pakivwilile akavalilo aka kijigho na kamo vakiisa vakahombua nujunge idinali.
The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
10 Avavombi vano vaale va kwanda, ye viluta kwa jumo ikuvahomba vakahuviila kuhombua nyinga kukila avange. Neke voope vakahombua nujunge idinali jimo jino lwale luhombo lwa kighono kimo.
So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
11 Ye vupile uluhombo lwave, vakatengula pikung'hulasia kwa nyamughunda.
On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
12 Viiti,'Avaanhu avuo vavombile imbombo akavalilo kamo keene, lwandani utupeliile uluhombo luno luling'hinena veene? Ongo usue tuvombile imbombo nhu lupumuko ulukome nu lujuuva imwisi jooni.'
‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
13 Unyamughunda jula akamwamula jumonga mu vavombi vala akati,'Nyalukolo, nanikusoveleng'hinie nambe kukuhijila kimonga. Natuveele twiting'ine idinali jimo?
But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
14 Upila uluhombo lwako vuuka ulutaghe. Une nilamwile kukumhomba umuunhu uju ughwa vusililo uluhombo luno luling'iine nu luhombo lwako.
Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
15 Asi! Nalukwitikisivua kuvomba ndavule nighanile vwimila ikyuma kyango? uli ni kivini ulwakuva une nili nkoola kukuvapeela ifuinu avange?
Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 U Yesu akajova kange akati, fye enendiki ava vusililo valaava va kwanda ava kwanda valavavva vusililo.
So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
17 U Yesu ye alimusila iluta ku Yelusalemu, akavakemela palubale avavulanisivua vaake kijigho na vavili, akavavula akati,
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
18 “Lolagha tuluta ku Yelusalemu, ukuo Mwana ghwa Adamu niluta kukwohelua ku vavaha va vatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo. Aveene kyavikuhigha kuuti nibudue.
“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death
19 Kange kyavikunhwala ku vaanhu vano nava Yahudi kuuti vanyovelele, vang'hope ni mijeledi na kukung'homelela pa kikovekano. Neke ikighono ikya vutatu nisyuka.”
and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”
20 Pepano un'dala ghwa Sebedaayi akaluta kwa Yesu palikimo na vanaake. Akafughama pa mwene akasuma lumonga kuhuma kwa mwene.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and knelt down to make a request of Him.
21 U Yesu akam'bula,”Ghulonda nikuvombele kiiki? Umwene akamwamula akati,”Nisuma uvitikisie avanango ava vavili, kuuti mu vutwa vwako jumonga ikale ulubale lwako ulwa kundio ujunge ikale ulubale ulwa kung'highi.”
“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”
22 U Yesu akamula akati,”Namukagwile luno musuma. Asi! ndeponu mutavwile kupumuka ulupumuko luno nipumuka?“vakamwamula,”Tutavwile.”
“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.
23 U Yesu akavavula akati,”Lweli kyamupumuka ukupumuko luno niluta pipumuka. Neke imhola ija kukala ulubale lwango lwa kundio nambe ulwa kung'highi navutavulilua vwango looli u Nhaata ghwango ghwe juno alavapeela vano avaling'hanikisie ng'haani.
“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”
24 Avavulanisivua avange vala kijigho ye vapulike isio, vakavakalalila avanamuunhu vala vavili.
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 Pepano u Yesu akavakemela vooni palikimo akavavula akati,”Mukagwile kuuti avautwa va iisi vitema avaanhu vaave ni ngufu. Kange vihufia ingufu isa vutavulilua vwave ku vavanda neke vavakundaghe mu sooni.
But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
26 Neke kulyumue nafye lungafisaghe. Looli umuunhu ghweni juno ilonda kuuva m'baha mulyumue avisaghem'bombighwinu.
It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 Kange umuunhu juno ilonda kuuva mulongosi avisaghe m'bombi ghwinu.
and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave—
28 Ndavule vule u Mwana ghwa Adamu alisile kuvombelua, looli alisile kukuvavombela, avange na kuhumia uvwumi vwango kuuti nivavange vinga.”
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
29 Unsiki ghuno vakaluta mu likaaja ilya Yeriko, ilipugha lya vaanhu likava likum'bingilila.
As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
30 Lolagha avabofu amaaso vavili valikalile mulubale musila. Ye va pulike kuuti u Yesu ikila isila jila, vakakemeela fiijo,”Ghwe Mutwa, ghwe Mwana ghwa David utusungukile.”
And there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
31 Ilipugha lila likavadalikila kuuti vajiike kimihe. Neke aveene vakaghina kukemeela fiijo viiti, Ghwe Mutwa, Mwana ghwa David, utusungukile.”
The crowd admonished them to be silent, but they cried out all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Pepeno u Yesu akiima akavakemeela avabofu vala akavaposia akati,”Mulonda nivavombele kiiki?”
Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.
33 Aveene vakamwamula vakati,”Ghwe Mutwa tulonda amaaso ghiitu ghalolaghe.”
“Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”
34 U Yesu, akavavonela ikisa akavabasia amaaso ghaave, nakalingi amaaso ghakasooka vakatengula kulola kange pevakam'bingilila u Yesu.
Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
