Matthieu 20

1 Rak rouantelezh an neñvoù a zo heñvel ouzh un den penn-tiegezh a yeas er-maez beure mat, da c'hoprañ labourerien evit e winieg.

'For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,

2 Ober a reas marc'had ganto eus un diner dre zevezh, hag o c'hasas d'e winieg.

and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3 Mont a reas er-maez war-dro an deirvet eur, hag e welas re all a oa war ar blasenn, hep ober netra.

'And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,

4 Lavarout a reas dezho: It ivez da'm gwinieg, hag e roin deoc'h ar pezh a zo reizh. Hag ez ejont.

and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;

5 Mont a reas adarre er-maez war-dro ar c'hwec'hvet ha war-dro an navet eur, hag e reas ar memes tra.

and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.

6 O vezañ aet er-maez war-dro an unnekvet eur, e kavas re all a oa dilabour war ar blasenn, hag e lavaras dezho: Perak en em zalc'hit amañ a-hed an deiz hep ober netra?

And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?

7 Respont a rejont dezhañ: Dre n'en deus den ebet gopret ac'hanomp. It ivez da'm gwinieg, emezañ, hag e roin deoc'h ar pezh a zo reizh.

they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye — ye also — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.

8 Pa voe deuet an abardaez, mestr ar winieg a lavaras d'e verour: Galv al labourerien ha ro dezho o gopr, en ur vont eus ar re ziwezhañ d'ar re gentañ.

'And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last — unto the first.

9 Re an unnekvet eur, o vezañ deuet, o devoe pep a ziner.

And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.

10 Ar re gentañ a soñje dezho o divije ouzhpenn; met pep a ziner a resevas ivez ar re-mañ.

'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,

11 Ouzh e gemer, e c'hrozmolent a-enep ar penn-tiegezh,

and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

12 o lavarout: Ar re ziwezhañ-se n'o deus labouret nemet un eurvezh, hag ec'h eus o lakaet keit ha ni hon eus douget pouez an deiz hag an tommder.

that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day — and the heat.

13 Eñ a respontas da unan anezho: Va mignon, ne ran gaou ebet ouzhit; ne'c'h eus ket graet marc'had ganin evit un diner?

'And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?

14 Kemer eta ar pezh a zo dit, ha kae kuit; c'hoantaat a ran reiñ d'an hini diwezhañ-mañ kement ha dit.

take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;

15 Ha ne c'hellan ket ober ar pezh a fell din eus va madoù? Pe daoust ha da lagad a zo fall abalamour ma'z on mat?

is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?

16 Evel-se, ar re ziwezhañ a vo ar re gentañ, hag ar re gentañ a vo ar re ziwezhañ. [Rak kalz a zo galvet, met nebeud a zo dibabet.]

So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'

17 E-pad ma pigne Jezuz da Jeruzalem, e kemeras a-du an daouzek diskibl, hag e lavaras dezho en hent:

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,

18 Setu, e pignomp da Jeruzalem, ha Mab an den a vo lakaet etre daouarn ar veleien vras ha re ar skribed, hag e kondaonint anezhañ d'ar marv,

'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,

19 hag e lakaint anezhañ etre daouarn ar baganed, evit ober goap anezhañ, evit e skourjezañ, hag e groazstagañ, met ec'h adsavo a varv d'an trede deiz.

and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'

20 Neuze mamm mibien Zebedea a dostaas ouzh Jezuz [gant he mibien], hag en em stouas evit ober ur goulenn digantañ.

Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,

21 Eñ a lavaras dezhi: Petra a fell dit? Gra, emezi, ma vo va daou vab a zo amañ, azezet ez rouantelezh unan a-zehou hag egile a-gleiz dit.

and he said to her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith to him, 'Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'

22 Jezuz a respontas: N'ouzoc'h ket ar pezh a c'houlennit. Ha gallout e c'hellit evañ an hanaf a dlean evañ [ha bezañ badezet eus ar vadeziant ma tlean bezañ badezet ganti]? Int a lavaras dezhañ: Ni a c'hell.

And Jesus answering said, 'Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, 'We are able.'

23 Lavarout a reas dezho: Gwir eo ec'h evot va hanaf [hag e viot badezet eus ar vadeziant am eus da vezañ badezet ganti]; met bezañ azezet a-zehou pe a-gleiz din, n'eo ket din da reiñ; roet e vo d'ar re ma'z eo bet kempennet evito gant va Zad.

And he saith to them, 'Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.'

24 An dek all o vezañ klevet kement-se, a yeas droug enno a-enep an daou vreur.

And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,

25 Jezuz o galvas hag a lavaras: Gouzout a rit penaos pennoù ar pobloù a vestroni anezho, ha penaos ar re vras a ziskouez o galloud warno.

and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,

26 Ne vo ket evel-se en ho touez; met piv bennak a fello dezhañ bezañ bras en ho touez, a vo ho servijer.

but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;

27 Ha piv bennak a fello dezhañ bezañ ar c'hentañ en ho touez, a vo ho mevel.

and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

28 Evel-se eo deuet Mab an den, neket evit bezañ servijet, met evit servijañ hag evit reiñ e vuhez e daspren evit kalz.

even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

29 Pa'z ejont kuit eus Jeriko, ez eas kalz a dud war e lerc'h.

And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,

30 Ha setu, daou zen dall, azezet war gostez an hent, a glevas e oa Jezuz o tremen, hag e krijont: Aotrou, Mab David, az pez truez ouzhimp!

and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, 'Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.'

31 Ar bobl o gourdrouze, evit ober dezho tevel; met int a grie kreñvoc'h: Mab David, az pez truez ouzhimp!

And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, 'Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.'

32 Jezuz, o chom a sav, o galvas, hag a lavaras: Petra a fell deoc'h e rafen evidoc'h?

And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, 'What will ye [that] I may do to you?'

33 Hag e lavarjont dezhañ: Aotrou, ma tigoro hon daoulagad.

they say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'

34 O kaout truez outo, Jezuz a stokas ouzh o daoulagad, ha raktal e kavjont ar gweled, hag e heuilhjont anezhañ.

and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
