Mateo 20
1 Ecen, comparatu da ceruètaco resumá aitafamilia batequin, cein ilki içan baita arguiaren beguian languile alocatzera bere mahasticotzat.
“[In order to illustrate how God rewards people], I will compare [the way] God [MTY/EUP] rules his people with what the owner of an estate [did]. Early in the morning the owner of the estate went to [the market] where [people who wanted work gathered]. He went there to hire laborers to work in his vineyard.
2 Eta languilequin accordaturic dinero batetan eguneco, igor citzan bere mahastira.
He promised the men whom he hired that he would pay them the standard wage [for working] one day. Then he sent them to his vineyards.
3 Eta ilkiric hirur orenén inguruän, ikus citzan berce alfer ceuden batzu plaçán.
At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
4 Eta erran ciecén, Çoazte çuec-ere ene mahastira, eta bide datena emanen drauçuet.
He said to them, ‘Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there]. I will pay you whatever is a just [wage].’ [So they also went to his vineyard and began to work].
5 Eta hec ioan citecen. Berriz ilkiric sey eta bedratzi orenén inguruän, eguin ceçan molde berean.
At noon and at three o’clock he again went [to the market] and found [other laborers whom he promised to pay a fair wage].
6 Eta hameca orenen inguruän ilkiric, eriden citzan berce alfer ceuden batzu, eta dioste, Cergatic hemen çaudete egun gucian alfer?
At five o’clock he went [to the market again] and saw other [men] standing [there who were not working]. He said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day and not working?’
7 Diotsate, Ceren nehorc ezpaiquaitu alocatu. Dioste, Çoazte çuec-ere ene mahastira, eta bide datena recebituren duçue.
They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘[I will hire you]. Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there.’ So they went].
8 Eta arrastu cenean, erran cieçón mahasti iabeac bere recebidoreari. Dei itzac languileac, eta paga iecéc alocairuä, hassiric azquenetaric lehenetarano.
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Tell the men to come so that you can give them their wages. First, pay the men who started working last, and pay the men last who started working first.’
9 Eta ethorri ciradenean hameca orenen inguruän alocatuac recebi ceçaten dinero bana.
The [manager] paid the standard daily wage to each of the men who did not start working until five o’clock [in the afternoon].
10 Eta ethorriric lehenéc-ere, vste vkan dute guehiago recebituren çutela: baina recebi ceçaten hec-ere dinero baná.
When the men who had begun working early [in the morning] went [to get their wages], they thought that they would receive more than the standard wage. But they also received only the standard wage.
11 Eta recebitu çutenean, murmuratzen çuten aitafamiliaren contra,
So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
12 Cioitela, Azquen hauc orembat eguin dié lanean, eta gure bardin eguin dituc, ekarri baitugu egunaren cargá, eta beroa.
They said [to him], ‘[You are not being fair!] The men who started working after [all of the rest of us started] worked for [only] one hour! You have [paid] them the same [wage] as [you paid] us! But we worked hard [all] day [IDM], [including working in the] hottest part of the day!’
13 Eta harc ihardesten çuela hetaric bati erran cieçón, Adisquideá, eztrauät hiri bidegaberic eguiten: ez aiz dinero batetan enequin accordatu?
The owner of the vineyard said to one of those [who complained], ‘Friend, I did not treat you unfairly. You agreed with me [to work the whole day] for the standard wage [RHQ].
14 Har eçac hire dena, eta habil: baina nahi diarocat azquen huni eman, hiri bay becembat.
[Stop complaining to me]! Take your wage and go! I desire to give the same wage that I gave you to the men who began working after all of you [had begun working].
15 Ala eznaiz haiçu nahi dudanaren eguitera neure onéz? ala hire beguia gaichto da, ceren ni on bainaiz?
I certainly have a right to [spend my money] as I desire [RHQ], [including paying those laborers what I desire to pay them]. (You should not be envious about my being generous!/Are you angry [MET] because I am generous?) [RHQ]’”
16 Hala içanen dirade azquenac, lehen: eta lehenac, azquen: ecen anhitz dirade deithuac, baina guti elegituac.
[Then Jesus said to us], “Similarly, [God will reward] well [some] people who [seem to be] less important now, and he will not reward [some] people who [seem to be] more important [now].”
17 Eta Iesusec Ierusalemera igaitean, har citzan hamabi discipuluac appart bidean, eta erran ciecén,
When Jesus was walking [on the road] up to Jerusalem, [along with us] twelve [disciples], he took us to a place by ourselves [in order that he could talk to us privately]. Then he said to us,
18 Huná, igaiten gara Ierusalemera, eta guiçonaren Semea liuraturen çaye Sacrificadore principaley eta Scribey, eta hura condemnaturen dute hiltzera:
“Listen carefully! We are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there, someone] will enable the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws to seize [me], the one who came from heaven, [and they will put me on trial]. They will condemn me [and say] that I should be killed {the authorities should kill me}.
19 Eta hura dute liuraturen Gentiley, escarnia, eta açota, eta crucifica deçatençat: baina hereneco egunean resuscitaturen da.
[Then they] will put me in the hands of non-Jews so that they can make fun of me, whip me, [and kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], [God] will cause me to live again.”
20 Orduan ethor cedin harengana Zebedeoren semen amá bere semequin, gurtzen, eta cerbait escatzen çayola.
Then the mother of James and John brought her two sons to Jesus. She bowed down before Jesus and asked him to do her a favor.
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.
Jesus said to her, “What do you want [me to do for you]?” She said to him, “Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you (OR, Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you at your right side and at your left side) [and rule with you] [MTY] when you become king.”
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.
Jesus said to [her and her sons], “You do not understand what you are asking for. Can you suffer like I am about to suffer [IDM]?” [James and John] answered him, “Yes, we are able [to do that].”
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.
Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, you will suffer as I will suffer [IDM]. But I am not the one who chooses the ones who [will] sit next to me [and rule with me]. [God], my Father, will give those places [MTY] to the ones whom he appoints.”
24 Eta hura ençunic berce hamarrac bekaitz citecen bi anayéz.
When we ten [other disciples] heard [what James and John had requested], we became angry with them [because we also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
25 Iesusec bada hec beregana deithuric, dio, Badaquiçue ecen nationetaco princiéc seignoriatzen dutela hayen gainean: eta handiéc authoritatez vsatzen dutela hayén gaynean.
[So] Jesus called all of us together and said [to us], “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing them that they are powerful. Their chief rulers [enjoy] commanding the people under them.
26 Ordea ezta hala içanen çuen artean: baina nor-ere handi nahi içanen baita çuen artean, biz çuen muthil:
You [should] not be like them. On the contrary, everyone among you who wants [God to consider] him great must become [like] a servant for [the rest of] you.
27 Eta nor-ere nahi içanen baita çuen artean lehen içan, biz çuen cerbitzari.
And everyone among you who wants [God to consider him] to be the most important must become [like] a slave for [the rest of] you.
28 Hala nola guiçonaren Semea ezpaita ethorri cerbitzatu içatera, baina cerbitzatzera, eta bere viciaren rançoinetan anhitzengatic emaitera.
[You should imitate me]. [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I did not come to be served {in order that people would serve me}. On the contrary, I [came in order] to serve [others] and to [IDM] allow myself to be killed {other people to kill me}, so that [my dying would be like] a payment to rescue many [people from being punished for their sins].” [MTY]
29 Eta hec Iericotic partitzen ciradela, gendetze handi iarreiqui cequión.
As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
30 Eta huná, bi itsu bide bazterrean ceudenec, ençunic ecen Iesus iragaiten cela, oihu eguin ceçaten, cioitela, Auc pietate guçaz Dauid-en seme Iauná.
[As we walked along, we saw] two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they yelled [to him], “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Take pity on us!”
31 Eta gendetzeac mehatchatzen cituen hec ichil litecençát, baina hec oihu guehiago eguiten çuten, cioitela, Auc pietate guçaz Dauid-en seme Iauná.
[People in] the crowd scolded them [and] told them to be quiet. But the blind men yelled even louder, “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Have pity on us!”
32 Eta gueldituric Iesusec dei citzan, eta erran ceçan, Cer nahi duçue daguiçuedan?
Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 Diotsote, Iauna, gure beguiac irequi ditecen.
They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
34 Eta compassione harturic Iesusec hunqui citzan hayén beguiac: eta bertan ikustea recebi ceçaten hayén beguiéc, eta hari iarreiqui cequizquión.
Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
