Mateo 20
1 Ecen, comparatu da ceruètaco resumá aitafamilia batequin, cein ilki içan baita arguiaren beguian languile alocatzera bere mahasticotzat.
For the kingdom of heaven is like an employer who went out in the early morning to hire labourers for his vineyards.
2 Eta languilequin accordaturic dinero batetan eguneco, igor citzan bere mahastira.
He agreed with the labourers to pay them the standard daily rate of two silver coins, and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Eta ilkiric hirur orenén inguruän, ikus citzan berce alfer ceuden batzu plaçán.
On going out again, about nine o’clock, he saw some others standing in the marketplace, doing nothing.
4 Eta erran ciecén, Çoazte çuec-ere ene mahastira, eta bide datena emanen drauçuet.
“You also may go into my vineyard,” he said, “and I will pay you what is fair.”
5 Eta hec ioan citecen. Berriz ilkiric sey eta bedratzi orenén inguruän, eguin ceçan molde berean.
So they went. Going out again about midday and about three o’clock, he did as before.
6 Eta hameca orenen inguruän ilkiric, eriden citzan berce alfer ceuden batzu, eta dioste, Cergatic hemen çaudete egun gucian alfer?
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 Diotsate, Ceren nehorc ezpaiquaitu alocatu. Dioste, Çoazte çuec-ere ene mahastira, eta bide datena recebituren duçue.
“Because no one has hired us,” they answered. “You also may go into my vineyard,” he said.
8 Eta arrastu cenean, erran cieçón mahasti iabeac bere recebidoreari. Dei itzac languileac, eta paga iecéc alocairuä, hassiric azquenetaric lehenetarano.
In the evening the owner of the vineyard said to his steward “Call the labourers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.”
9 Eta ethorri ciradenean hameca orenen inguruän alocatuac recebi ceçaten dinero bana.
Now when those who had been hired about five o’clock went up, they received two silver coins each.
10 Eta ethorriric lehenéc-ere, vste vkan dute guehiago recebituren çutela: baina recebi ceçaten hec-ere dinero baná.
So, when the first went up, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received two silver coins each;
11 Eta recebitu çutenean, murmuratzen çuten aitafamiliaren contra,
at which they began to grumble at their employer.
12 Cioitela, Azquen hauc orembat eguin dié lanean, eta gure bardin eguin dituc, ekarri baitugu egunaren cargá, eta beroa.
“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 Eta harc ihardesten çuela hetaric bati erran cieçón, Adisquideá, eztrauät hiri bidegaberic eguiten: ez aiz dinero batetan enequin accordatu?
“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 Har eçac hire dena, eta habil: baina nahi diarocat azquen huni eman, hiri bay becembat.
Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Ala eznaiz haiçu nahi dudanaren eguitera neure onéz? ala hire beguia gaichto da, ceren ni on bainaiz?
Don’t I have the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am generous?”
16 Hala içanen dirade azquenac, lehen: eta lehenac, azquen: ecen anhitz dirade deithuac, baina guti elegituac.
So those who are last will be first, and the first last.’
17 Eta Iesusec Ierusalemera igaitean, har citzan hamabi discipuluac appart bidean, eta erran ciecén,
When Jesus was on the point of going up to Jerusalem, he gathered the twelve disciples round him by themselves, and said to them as they were on their way,
18 Huná, igaiten gara Ierusalemera, eta guiçonaren Semea liuraturen çaye Sacrificadore principaley eta Scribey, eta hura condemnaturen dute hiltzera:
‘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 Eta hura dute liuraturen Gentiley, escarnia, eta açota, eta crucifica deçatençat: baina hereneco egunean resuscitaturen da.
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 Orduan ethor cedin harengana Zebedeoren semen amá bere semequin, gurtzen, eta cerbait escatzen çayola.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favour.
21 Eta harc erran cieçón, Cer nahi dun? Diotsó, Ordena eçac iar ditecen ene bi seme hauc, bata hire escuinean, eta bercea ezquerrean, hire resumán.
‘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 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ceçan, Eztaquiçue ceren esquez çaudeten: edan ahal diroçue nic edateco dudan copa? Eta batheya ahal çaitezquete ni batheyaturen naicen baptismoaz? Diotsote, Bay.
‘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 Orduan dioste, Ene copá edanen baduçue, eta ni batheyaturen naicén baptismoaz batheyaturen baçarete: baina ene escuinean edo ezquerrean iartea, ezta ene emaiteco, baina emanen çaye ene Aitaz appainduric dauèney.
‘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 Eta hura ençunic berce hamarrac bekaitz citecen bi anayéz.
On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.
25 Iesusec bada hec beregana deithuric, dio, Badaquiçue ecen nationetaco princiéc seignoriatzen dutela hayen gainean: eta handiéc authoritatez vsatzen dutela hayén gaynean.
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 Ordea ezta hala içanen çuen artean: baina nor-ere handi nahi içanen baita çuen artean, biz çuen muthil:
Among you it is not so.
27 Eta nor-ere nahi içanen baita çuen artean lehen içan, biz çuen cerbitzari.
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 Hala nola guiçonaren Semea ezpaita ethorri cerbitzatu içatera, baina cerbitzatzera, eta bere viciaren rançoinetan anhitzengatic emaitera.
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 Eta hec Iericotic partitzen ciradela, gendetze handi iarreiqui cequión.
As they were going out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
30 Eta huná, bi itsu bide bazterrean ceudenec, ençunic ecen Iesus iragaiten cela, oihu eguin ceçaten, cioitela, Auc pietate guçaz Dauid-en seme Iauná.
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 Eta gendetzeac mehatchatzen cituen hec ichil litecençát, baina hec oihu guehiago eguiten çuten, cioitela, Auc pietate guçaz Dauid-en seme Iauná.
The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder, ‘Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!’
32 Eta gueldituric Iesusec dei citzan, eta erran ceçan, Cer nahi duçue daguiçuedan?
Then Jesus stopped and called them. ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he said.
33 Diotsote, Iauna, gure beguiac irequi ditecen.
‘Master,’ they replied, ‘we want our eyes to be opened.’
34 Eta compassione harturic Iesusec hunqui citzan hayén beguiac: eta bertan ikustea recebi ceçaten hayén beguiéc, eta hari iarreiqui cequizquión.
So Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight, and followed him.
