Matthai 20

1 Khan qam taw dum ak takung thlang pynoet ing a dum khuiawh bi ak bi aham thlang ak sui na mymcang hqit awh ak cet ing myih hy.

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 Bibikungkhqi mi hypoet kutphu denari pynoet peek aham awi ta unawh, cekkhqi ce misur dum na tyi khqi hy.

And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

3 “Khawnoek pathum tluk awh cet nawh, ik-oeih ami zawihnaak hyn awh ikaw awm amak sai thlangkhqi ce hu hy.

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others in the market-place doing nothing;

4 A mingmih a venawh, nangmih awm cet unawh kai a misur dum awh bibi lah uh, a ting a tawk taw ni pek khqi bit kawng, tinak khqi hy.

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 Cedawngawh a mingmih ce cet uhy.” Cekcoengawh khawnoek paquk ingkaw pakow tluk awh cet tlaih bai nawh, ce amyihna tina tlaih bai hy.

Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same.

6 Khawnoek pahqa hlaioet tluk awh cet bai nawh, ak dyi mailai thlangkhqi ce hu bai hy. A mingmih a venawh, 'kawtih ikaw awm a sai kaana vawh khawnghi zung naming dyih?' tinak khqi hy.

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 Cekkhqi ing a venawh, 'u ingawm kaimih ve amni ceei khqi nawh ni,' tina uhy. Anih ing cekkhqi venawh, 'Nangmih awm cet unawh kai a misur dum awh bibi law lah uh,' tinak khqi hy.

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 ”Khaw a my awhtaw, misur dum ak takung ing, tangka ak khoemkungkhqi venawh, 'A hu dyt awhkawng ak lamma dy awh bibikungkhqi ce khy nawh amik thaphu ce pe lah uh,' tinak khqi hy.

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 Khawnoek hlaioet awhkawng bi ak bikhqi ce law unawh amik thaphu denari pynoet ce hu qip uhy.

And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

10 Lamma na bi ak bikhqi ce law unawh ak doem bet hu kawng unyng, tina poek uhy. Cehlai cekkhqi awm denari pynoet qip ni ami huh lawt hy.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

11 Tangka ami huh boeih coeng awhtaw, dum ak takung ak khan awh saai bi uhy.

And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

12 “Ahu na na law pyikhqi ing khawnoek pynoet khui doeng ni bi ami bi hy, hypoet khui khawk hlawk anglakawh bi ka mik bi kaimih mi ang amyihna na taak paqap,” tina uhy.

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 Cehlai anih ing a mingmih ak khui awhkaw thlang pynoet a venawh, 'ka pyi, amak thym na nak khan awh ik-oeih am sai nyng, Denari pynoet nani awi ni taak ka ti my?

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 Namah a bibi phu ce lo nawhtaw cet hlah. Nang a venawh ka ni peek lawt amyihna ahu na bi ak bi thlang a venawh awm pe lawt kawng nyng.

Take what is yours, and go away; it is my pleasure to give to this last, even as to you.

15 Ka tangka ak khan awh ka ngaihnaak amyihna saithainaak am ka ta hly nawh nu? Kai ka khawboe a leek awh nang ing nani yt nawh nu? tina hy.

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 Cedawngawh ak hukhqi ce ma kawm usaw ak maakhqi ce hu kawm uh. Ak khy taw doem kawmsaw ak tyk taw zawi kaw,” tinak khqi hy.

So the last will be first, and the first last.

17 Jesu ing Jerusalem na a hang ceh awh, a hubat thlang pahqa hlaihih ce cehpyi nawh a mingmih a venawh,

And when Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples on one side, and said to them,

18 “Tuh Jerusalem na ni hang cet kawm uh, thlanghqing Capa taw khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi venawh pe kawm uh, a mingmih ing thih sak aham thawlh sak kawm uh,

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 qaihnaak na sai aham Gentelkhqi kut awh pe kawm uh. Am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tina hy.

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 Cawh Zebedi a cakhqi a nu ing a ca qawi ce Jesu a venna law pyi nawh, khuk sym doena ak kawngaih pynoet sai sak aham qeennaak thoeh hy.

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

21 Jesu ing a venawh, “Ikaw na ngaih?” tina hy. Cawhkaw nu ing, “vawhkaw ka capa qawi pakhih ve na ram khuiawh pynoet ve nak tang ben awh pynoet ce nak cawng ben awh ngawih law sak lah,” tina hy.

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 Cehlai Jesu ing a venawh, “Na thoeh ve am sim hy nik ti. Kai ing ka aawk hly kawi khuikha huhnaak boet ve na nik aw hly thai lawt nu? Baptisma ka huh hly kawi ve na nik hu hly thai lawt nu?” tina hy.

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 Jesu ing cekqawi a venawh, “Kai a khuikha huhnaak boet ve aw hly thai tang tang nih nawh Baptisma ka huh hly kawi ve awm hu thai kawm nik ti, cehlai kai ak tang ben awh ngawih sak thainaak ingkaw cawng ben awh ngawih sak thainaak taw, kai a peek kawi am ni. Ka pa ing a hoep peek ce thlangkhqi venawh pe kaw,” tina hy.

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 Ce ak awi ce thlang pahqa tloek ing a ming zaak awh, cekqawi cingna ak khan awh amik kaw so hy.

And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.

25 Cehlai Jesu ing cekkhqi ce a venna khy khqi boeih nawh, “Gentelkhqi ingtaw a mimah khqik khan awh uknaak ce ta unawh, ukkungkhqi ing a mingmih ak khan awh uk thainaak ce ta uhy.

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 Cehlai nangmih anglakawhtaw ce myihna am awm kaw. Nangmih ak khuiawh ak bau soeih na awm ak ngaih ingtaw nangmih a bi ak bikung na awm seh,

Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

27 u awm nangmih anglakawh lamma cyk na awm ak ngaih taw nangmih a tamnaa na awm seh;

And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:

28 Thlanghqing Capa ing thlang bibi sak aham am law nawh, thlang a bibi peek aham nani a law, thlang khawzah thaawngnaak aham a hqingnaak ak pe hamna ni a law,” tinak khqi hy.

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 Jesu ingkaw a hubatkhqi ing Jeriko khaw ce ami cehtaak awh thlang kqeng ing ahu awh hquut uhy.

And when they were going out from Jericho, a great number went after him.

30 Cawh mikhyp thlang pakhih ce lam keng awh ngawi hy nih, Jesu a ceh awi ce a ning zaak awh, “Bawipa, David Capa, kainih ve nim qeen qawi lah!” tinawh khy hy nih.

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 Thlang kqeng ing cekqawi ce a ni awmnaak dym aham zyi uhy, cehlai cekqawi ing khawteh khqoet na, “Bawipa, David Capa, kainih ve nim qeen qawi lah!” tinawh khy khqoet hy nih.

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 Cawh Jesu ce dyi nawh cekqawi ce khy hy. “Ikaw sai sak aham nu nani ngaih?” tinawh doet qawi hy.

And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?

33 Cekkqawi ing, “Bawipa, mik dai aham ngaih nih nyng,” tina hy nih.

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be open.

34 Jesu ing cekqawi ce qeen nawh cekqawi a mik ce bi pehy. Cawh cekqawi ce ani mik dai pahoei nawh ahu awh bat pahoei hy nih.

And Jesus, being moved with pity, put his fingers on their eyes: and straight away they were able to see, and went after him.
