< Matthew 20 >

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Kipfumu ki Diyilu kidedikini banga: —Pfumu yi ndima yitotuka mu nsuka-nsuka mu sonika bisadi bilenda sala mu ndimꞌandi yi vinu.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Wuwizana yawu mu denali kimosi mu lumbu kimosi ayi wuba fidisa ku ndimꞌandi yi vinu.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;
Wutotuka diaka mu thangu yi vua yi nsuka; wumona batu bankaka, bakambulu mu kisalu, buna batelimini va zandu.
4 and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Wuba kamba: “Beno mamveno, yendanu lusala mu ndimꞌama yi vinu ayi mandi lufuta mfutu wufuana. Bawu mamvawu bayenda.”
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Wutotuka diaka va midi bosi mu thangu yintatu yi masika. Bo buawu kavanga.
6 And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Mu thangu yintanu, mu masika, wutotuka ayi wumona diaka bankaka buna batelimini vana ayi wuba yuvula: “Bila mbi lutelimini vava lumbu kimvimba mu kambu sala kadi kima?”
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
Bavutula: “Bila kadi mutu kasi tusonika ko mu kisalu!” Wubakamba: “Beno mamveno, yendanu sadi ku ndimꞌama.”
8 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
Va masika pfumu yi ndima wukamba kapita kiandi: “Tela bisadi ayi wuba futa vayi tonina kuidi bobo baba batsuka mu sonama bosi wumanisina kuidi bobo baba batheti.”
9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Batu bobo basonama thangu yi ntanu yi masika batambula denali kimosi-kimosi mu kadika mutu.
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Bosi batu bobo baba batheti mu sonama bu bayiza, babanzila ti bawu banluta vayi denali kimosi-kimosi kadika mutu kafutu,
11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
Buna batambula kiawu, bafuemina pfumu yi ndima
12 saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
ayi bankamba: “Batu bobo sonikiningi kunzimunina, thangu yimosi kaka basadidi. Vayi wuba futidi phila yimosi ayi beto tusedi kisalu kingolo ayi ku tsi muini wungolo mu lumbu kimvimba.”
13 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Pfumu yi ndima wuvutula kuidi kisadi kimosi mu bawu: “A nkundi ama, ndisi kuvangila mbimbi ko! Tuisi wizananga yaku mu denali kimosi ko e?
14 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Bonga mfutu aku ayi yenda kuaku. Minu thidi vana kuidi mutu wowo wutsuka phila yimosi banga ngeyo.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?
A buevi ndisi ko minsua mu vanga dioso thidi mu zimbongo ziama e? Voti kikhenene weka mona bu ndidi mutu wumboti.”
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last.
Buawu bobo buela bela batu batsuka batu batheti ayi batu batheti batu batsuka.
17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them,
Yesu bu kaba nkuenda ku Yelusalemi; wubonga mu nzila kumi minlonguki miandi miodi va lutengo, wuba kamba:
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
—Lutala, tulembo yendi ku Yelusalemi, vayi kuna Muana Mutu kela yekodolo mu mioko mi bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi kuidi Minlongi mi Mina. Bela kunzengila nkanu wu lufua
19 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
ayi bela kunyekula mu mioko mi bapakanu muingi bansekinina, bambeta bikoti ayi bambanda va dikulusi. Bosi mu lumbu kintatu niandi wela fuluka.
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.
Buna ngudi yi bana ba Zebede wuyiza kuidi Yesu va kimosi ayi bana bandi; wumfukimina ayi wunlomba diambu dimosi.
21 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.
Yesu wuyuvula: —A mbi tidi e? Niandi wuvutula: —Bika bana bama baba babuadi bababakala bavuanda wumosi ku lubakala luaku ayi wumosi ku lumoso luaku mu Kipfumu kiaku.
22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Beno lusi zaba ko momo lunlomba. Buna beno lulenda nua mbungu yoyi ndiela nua? Bamvutudila: —Nyinga, tulenda kueto bu vanga!
23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give, but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Bukiedika luela nua mbungu ama vayi mu diambu di vuanda va lubakala luama voti ku lumoso luama, diodi disi ko mu minsua miama bila bibuangu beni bidi mu diambu di batu bobo Dise diama kakubikila biawu.
24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
Thangu kumi di minlonguki minkaka miwa bobo, mifuemina bakhomba zina buadi.
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Yesu wuba tumisa bawu boso, wuba kamba: —Luzebi ti bapfumu ba Bapakanu zieti kuba yadila mu kingolo ayi batu bawu banneni beti kuba monisanga lulendo luawu.
26 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
Vayi buawu ko bulenda bela kuidi beno. Vayi woso mutu tidi ba wunneni mu beno bika kaba kisadi kieno.
27 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
Woso tidi ba wutheti buna bika kaba mvika weno.
28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Bila Muana Mutu kasia kuiza ko muingi bansadila vayi wuyiza mu diambu di sadila batu ayi mu diambu di vana luzingu luandi mu diambu di kula batu bawombo.
29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Bu babika Yeliko, nkangu wu batu bawombo balandakana Yesu.
30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
Baphofo buadi bavuanda mu yenda nzila, bu ziwa ti Yesu wulembo vioki buna zieka nyamikina: —Pfumu! Muana Davidi, wutumoni kiadi e!
31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
Nkangu wu batu wuba temina muingi zibika biyoko vayi ziluta buela yamikina ngolo: —Pfumu! Muana Davidi, wutumona kiadi e!
32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?
Yesu wutelama; wuba tela ayi wuba yuvula: —A mbi lutidi ndiluvangila e?
33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Zimvutudila: —Pfumu! Tutidi meso meto mazibuka!
34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
Yesu wuba mona kiadi, wusimba meso mawu. Muna ntangu beni yina kaka zitona mona ayi zinlandakana.
