Matthai 20
1 Vaan ram tah imkung hlang pakhat phek la om. Anih tah a misurdum kah bibikung coep ham yue cet.
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Te vaengah bibikung rhoek neh hnin at ham denarii pakhat neh a kotluep tih amih te a misurdum la a tueih.
When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Khonoek pathum tlukah a caeh hatah hnoyoih hmuen ah pai uh tih aka palyal rhoek te a hmuh.
He went out about nine in the morning, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4 Te dongah te rhoek te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh lamtah a dueng la aka om te tah nangmih te kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
5 Te dongah te rhoek khaw cet uh. Te phoeiah khonoek parhuk neh pako tluk ah khaw cet tih koep a tlap bal.
Again he went out about noon and at three in the afternoon, and did likewise.
6 Hlaikhat tluk kah a caeh vaengah a tloe rhoek sut aka pai rhoek te a hmuh. Te dongah amih te, “Balae tih sut na pai uh tih khohnin yung ah na palyal uh he?” a ti nah.
About five that afternoon he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
7 Te vaengah amah te, “Kaimih he n'coep uh moenih,” a ti nahuh. Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih khaw misurdum la cet uh saw,” a ti nah.
"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.'
8 Hlaem ben a pha vaengah misurdum boei loh a dumtawt taengah, “Bibikung rhoek te khue lamtah lamhnuk rhoek lamkah tong lamtah lamhma duela amih te thapang thuung laeh,” a ti nah.
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.'
9 Khonoek hlaikhat tluk kah aka pawk rhoek khaw denarii pakhat rhip a dang uh.
"When those who were hired at about five in the afternoon came, they each received a denarius.
10 Lamhma la aka pawk rhoek loh muep a dang uh ni tila a poek uh. Tedae amih khaw denari pakhat ni rhip a dang uh.
When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11 Te tla aka dang rhoek loh imkung taengah kohuet uh.
When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12 Te dongah “He rhoek a lamhnuk rhoek tah khonoek pakhat ni a bi uh dae, hnin at puet kholing hnorhih aka ueh kaimih neh amih te vanat la na khueh,” a ti na uh.
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.'
13 Tedae amih te pakhat la a doo tih, ' Pueivan aw nang kan thae nah moenih, kai neh denarii pakhat ham kotluep a om moenih a?
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Namah kah te lo lamtah cet laeh. Nang bangla lamhnuk te khaw paek ka ngaih.
Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15 Kamah koe nen te ka ngaih bangla ka saii tueng moenih a? Kai a then la ka om te nang kah mik loh a lolh la a om sak a? 'a ti nah.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'
16 Te dongah lamhnuk te lamhma vetih lamhma te lamhnuk la om ni,” a ti nah.
So the last will be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few are chosen."
17 Jesuh loh hnukbang hlainit rhoek te hloep a khue tih Jerusalem la cet.
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,
18 A longpueng uh vaengah amih te, “Jerusalem la cet uh pawn sih. Hlang capa tah khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek taengla a voeih uh vetih anih te dueknah neh a boe sak uh ni he.
"Look, 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,
19 Te phoeiah tamdaeng ham neh boh tih tai hamla namtom rhoek taengah a voeih uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
and will hand him over to the non-Jews to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."
20 Te vaengah Zebedee ca rhoek kah a manu loh a ca rhoek te Jesuh a paan puei tih a bawk. Tedae a taengkah hno pakhat a bih.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae na ngaih,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka ca rhoi he na ram ah tah na bantang ah pakhat na banvoei ah pakhat ngol rhoi saeh ti mai laeh,” a ti nah.
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."
22 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Mebang na bih uh khaw na ming uh moenih. Kai loh ka ok ham ka cai thil boengloeng te ok hamla na coeng uh thai aya? a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Coeng thai ngawn,” a ti na uh.
But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."
23 Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai kah boengloeng he na ok uh ngawn ni. Tedae kai kah bantang neh banvoei ah ngol ham tah kai hut la om pawh. Tedae a pa loh a hmoel rhoek ni tekah te a paek eh,” a ti nah.
He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, 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."
24 Parha rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah te rhoi boeina kawng te a yakdam uh.
When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a khue tih, “Namtom rhoek kah boei rhoek tah amamih vueinan uh tih a len rhoek loh amamih a huttet uh thae te na ming.
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.
26 Nangmih khuiah tetlam te om uh boeh. Tedae, Nangmih khuiah a len la om aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah tueihyoeih la om ni.
It will not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.
27 Te phoeiah nangmih khuiah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih te tah nangmih kah sal la om ni.
And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave,
28 Hlang Capa tah hlang thohtat sak ham pawt tih thohtat pah ham neh a hinglu te ping kah tlansum la paek ham ni halo,” a ti nah.
even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 Amih te Jerikho lamloh a khong uh vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai.
As they went out from Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
30 Te vaengah mikdael panit long taengah ngol rhoi. Jesuh kah a khum te a yaak rhoi vaengah pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa, kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
And look, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
31 Tedae hlangping loh amih rhoi te a ho tih a paa sak. Te vaengah te rhoi te taoe pang rhoi tih, “Boeipa, David Capa kaimih rhoi he n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
The crowd rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they shouted even more, "Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David."
32 Te vaengah Jesuh tah pai tih amih rhoi te a khue. Te phoeiah, “Nangmih rhoi ham balae saii sak na ngaih rhoi,” a ti nah.
Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
33 Te dongah, “Boeipa, kaimih rhoi mik tah tueng lah saeh,” a ti rhoi.
They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
34 Jesuh tah a thinphat tih amih rhoi mik te a taek pah. Te vaengah tlek a hmuh rhoi tih Jesuh hnuk a vai rhoi.
Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
