< Matthew 20 >

1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon mèt jaden rezen ki soti granmaten al chache moun vin travay nan jaden rezen l' lan.
2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Li antann ak yo pou l' ba yo sa yo peye pou yon jounen travay. Li voye yo al travay nan jaden rezen an.
3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
Li soti ankò vè nevè nan maten, li wè kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe sou plas la san yo p'ap fè anyen.
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
Li di yo: Nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan, m'a peye nou pou sa n'a fè.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Epi y al travay nan jaden an. Apre sa, mèt jaden an soti ankò vè midi, ak yon lòt fwa ankò vè twazè nan apremidi, li fè menm bagay la.
6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
Li te vè senkè nan apremidi lè li soti ankò. Li jwenn kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe la sou plas la, li di yo: Poukisa nou rete tout jounen an la san fè anyen konsa?
7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’
Yo reponn li: Se paske pesonn pa ban nou travay. Mèt la di yo: Enben, nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan.
8 “When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’
Lè solèy fin kouche, mèt jaden an di jeran l' lan: Rele travayè yo, peye yo lajan yo. Kòmanse ak sa ki te vin an dènye yo pou fini ak premye yo.
9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
Mesye ki te antre nan travay vè senkè nan apremidi yo vini, yo chak yo resevwa lajan yon jounen travay.
10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
Lè mesye ki te la depi granmaten yo vin rive, yo te kwè yo tapral resevwa plis. Men, yo chak resevwa lajan yon jounen travay tou.
11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
Lè yo resevwa lajan an, yo tonbe bougonnen sou do mèt jaden an.
12 saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’
Yo di konsa: Moun sa yo vin an dènye, yo travay yon sèl ti moman, epi ou peye yo menm lajan ak nou ki fatige kò n' travay tout jounen an anba chalè solèy la.
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did not you agree with me for a denarius?
Mèt la reponn yonn nan yo: Zanmi, mwen pa fè ou okenn lenjistis. Nou te antann pou yon pri, pa vre?
14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
Enben, pran lajan ou, al fè wout ou. Se mwen menm ki vle bay moun ki vin an dènye yo menm lajan avè ou.
15 Is not it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
Eske m' pa gen dwa fè sa m' vle ak lajan mwen? Osinon, èske sa fè ou mal si m' gen bon kè?
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Apre sa, Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan, moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè nèt.
17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
Apre sa, Jezi t'ap moute Jerizalèm. Antan li t'ap mache sou wout la, li pran douz disip li yo apa, li di yo:
18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
Tande. Men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote yo pral lage m', mwen menm Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, nan men chèf prèt yo ansanm ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo pral kondannen m' amò,
19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
y'ap lage m' bay moun lòt nasyon yo. Etranje sa yo pral pase m' nan rizib, yo pral bat mwen ak kout fwèt, apre sa yo pral kloure m' sou yon kwa. Men, sou twa jou, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
Lè sa a, manman pitit Zebede yo pwoche bò kote Jezi ak pitit li yo. Li bese tèt li byen ba devan Jezi pou mande l' yon favè.
21 He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
Jezi di li: Kisa ou vle? Madanm lan reponn: Men de pitit mwen yo. Bay lòd pou yo chita, yonn sou bò dwat ou, lòt la sou bò gòch ou, lè ou va wa.
22 But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”
Jezi reponn li? Nou pa konnen sa n'ap mande la a. Eske nou kapab bwè nan menm gode doulè mwen gen pou m' bwè a? Yo di li: Nou kapab.
23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. n'a bwè nan gode m' lan. Men, kanta pou chita sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch mwen an, se pa mwen ki bay sa. Plas sa yo, Papa m' rezève yo pou moun li vle.
24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
Lè dis lòt disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke fache sou de frè yo.
25 But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Jezi rele yo, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan chèf nasyon yo trete pèp la tankou esklav. Grannèg yo renmen fè moun santi jan yo gen pouvwa.
26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
Men, se pa konsa pou sa fèt nan mitan nou. Okontrè, si yonn nan nou ta vle vin grannèg, se pou l' sèvi nou tout.
27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
Si yonn nan nou ta vle chèf, se pou l' esklav nou tout.
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Se konsa, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa vini pou moun rann mwen sèvis, men mwen vini pou m' rann moun sèvis. Wi, mwen vin bay lavi m' pou peye delivrans anpil moun.
29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Antan yo t'ap soti lavil Jeriko, yon gwo foul moun pran swiv Jezi.
30 Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
Te gen de avèg chita bò chemen an. Yo annik tande se Jezi ki t'ap pase, yo pran rele: Mèt, pitit David la, pitye pou nou.
31 The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”
Moun yo t'ap kouri dèyè yo pou fè yo pe bouch yo. Men, yo t'ap rele pi rèd: Mèt, pitit David la, gen pitye pou nou!
32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Jezi rete, li rele avèg yo, li mande yo: Kisa nou vle m' fè pou nou?
33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
Yo di li: Mèt, fè nou wè nan je nou ankò.
34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
Kè Jezi fè l' mal pou yo, li manyen je yo. Menm lè a de mesye yo wè, epi yo swiv Jezi.
