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.

Vantung kumpingam sia, ama sapit huan sung ah naseam tu te sam tu in zingtung a vak innteakpa taw kibang hi.

2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Nikhat thaman dangkasan pheak khat piak tu in naseam tute taw a thukim zawkciang, amate sia sapit huan ah sawl hi.

3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

Zingsang nai kua ciang hong pusuak a, ngual sumbuk ah a ding thathong mu hi,

4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

Amate kung ah, note zong sapit huan ah pai tavun a, a kiphu bang in hong pia tu khi hi, a ci ciang, amate zong pai hi.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

Ama sia nai sawmleni le nitaksang nai thum ciang in vakkik a, a dang te zong sawl leleau hi.

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?’

'Nitaksang nai nga kimpawl in paikik leleau a, bangma seam ngawl in a ding thathong te mu hi, taciang, banghang in na seam ngawl in sun khuateak ziaksung ah ding nu ziam? ci hi.

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.’

Amate in ko kuama in hong cial ngawl hi, ci uh hi. Ama in, no zong ka sapit huan ah thalaw vun a; a kilawm za nga tu nu hi, ci hi.

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.’

Nitakciang in sapit huanneipa in sumkeampa kung ah, a khakbel pan a masabel dong a seam te theampo sam siat in a, a thaman pia in, ci hi.

9 “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

Nitaksang nai nga pan nasep kipan te hongpai ciang, ngun dangka piakhat tek nga uh hi.

10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

Amasabel te hongpai ciang in, a tamzaw nga tu in ngaisun hi kale; ngun dangka piakhat tek ma nga uh hi.

11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

Amate in thaman a nga uh ciang in, innteakpa phunsan uh a,

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!’

Hi a khakbel a seam te sia nai khat sung bek seam napi, vanngit pua in, nisaham thuak ko te taw a kikim in hong vawt ni hi, ci uh hi.

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

Hi kamale, ama in amate sung pan khat tung ah hibang in zo kik hi, lawm awng, na tung ah khialna vawt ngawl khi hi: ngun dangka piakhat piak tu in i thukim sa hi ngawl ziam?

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.

Na thaman la in a, cia in: a khakbel te zong nangma kong piak za pia tu khi hi.

15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

Keima neisa sia ka ukbang zeak thei natu ngeina om ngawl ziam? Keima phatna hang in banghang hong mu khial ni ziam?

16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Tua ahikom a khakbel te sia masabel tu a, a masabel te sia nungkhakbel tu hi: banghangziam cile sapna nga tam hi ka le, a ki teal tawm hi, ci hi.

17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

Jesus Jerusalem a pai ciang in, a nungzui sawmleni te a tuam in sam a,

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,

En vun! Jerusalem ah i pai hi; mihing Tapa sia thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te kung ah ki zuak tu a, that tu in thukhen tu uh hi.

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.”

Mihing Tapa sia selno tu, sat tu le thinglamte tung ah khai tu in Gentile te kung ah ap tu a, nithum ni ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

Zebedee zi sia Jesus kung ah a tate ni taw hongpai in bia a, a dei thu khat ngen hi.

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.”

Jesus in, Bang dei ni ziam? ci in dong hi. Ama in, na kumpingam sung ah hi ka tapa te ni sia na ziatsang ah khat, na veisang ah a dang khat tosak in, ci hi.

22 But Jesus answered, “You don’t 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.”

Ahihang Jesus in, Bang thu hong ngen nu ziam ci na he bua uh hi. Ka dawn tu hai dawn zo tu nu ziam, ka thuak tu baptisma thuak zo tu nu ziam? ci in zo kik hi. Amate in zo tu khu hi, ci uh hi.

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.”

Jesus in, Ka dawn tu hai sia dawn takpi tu nu hi, ka thuak tu baptisma zong thuak takpi tu nu hi: ahihang ka ziatsang le ka veisang ah a to tu sia Kei i piak tu hi ngawl a, Ka Pa in a ngealkholsa te pia tu hi, ci hi.

24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

Hi thu a dang sawm te in a zak uh ciang, tuate u nau tung ah thin-uk mama uh hi.

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.

Ahihang Jesus in amate a kung ah sam a, Na heaksa uh bangma in Gentile kumpi te in a mihing te sia zawthawk thu taw uk a, ulian te in thuneina taw uk uh hi.

26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

Ahizong note sung ah tabang hisak heak vun: note sung ah khatpo a lian nuam le, note i naseam hi tahen,

27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

Note sung ah khatpo in a lu bel a hi nuam le, note i sila hi tahen.

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.”

Mihing Tapa sia ngual a sawl tu in hongpai ngawl hi, ngual atu seam tu in le mi tampi tatkhiat natu a nuntakna pia tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.

29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

Amate Jericho pan in a pusua uh ciang, mihon tampi in zui uh hi.

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!”

En vun, mittaw ni te lamhui ah to in, Jesus in hong kantan hi, ci a zak uh ciang, maw Topa, nang David Tapa, hong hesuak po tan, ci in au uh hi.

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!”

Mihonpi te in a om khipkhep natu in tei uh hi: ahihang amate au seseam uh a, nang David Tapa, hong hesuak po tan, ci uh hi.

32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

Jesus ding in amate sam a, Bang kong vawtsak tu uk nu ziam? ci hi.

33 They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

Amate in, Topa awng, ka mit uh hong in khua hong musak tan, ci uh hi.

34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

Jesus in amate tung ah hesuakna nei a, a mit te uh a thamsak ciang in thakhatthu in khuamu uh a, amate in a nung zui hi.
