Matthew 20
1 “Tokosrai lun kusrao uh ouinge: ac oana sie mwet kacto ma toang na oatula ke lotutang in konauk kutu mwet in orekma ke ima in grape lal.
'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 Elos insese elan moli nu selos ipin silver se ke len se, fal nu ke molo se orek in pacl sac, na el supwalosla nu in ima lal.
and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Ke ao eu ke lotu sacna, el sifilpa folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh, ac konauk kutu pac mwet su tu we ac wangin ma oru.
'And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
4 Na el fahk nu selos, ‘Kowos som ac wi pac orekma in ima in grape uh, ac nga fah moli nu suwos ke sie moul fal.’
and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
5 Na elos som. Ac ke ao singoul luo ac ao tolu, el sifilpa som ac oru oana ma el oru meet ah.
and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
6 Apkuran nu ke ao limekosr ke ekela, el sifil folokla nu ke acn in kuka uh ac sifilpa liyauk kutu mwet tu we, ac el fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos muta wel len fon se inge?’
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 Na elos fahk, ‘Wangin mwet srukkutyak in orekma.’ Na el fahk, ‘Fin ouingan, kowos som wi orekma ke ima in grape ah.’
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 “Ke ekela, mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin mwet karingin mwet orekma uh, ‘Pangonma mwet orekma ac moleang orekma lalos, mutawauk kaclos su tuku oetok nwe ke mwet ma tuku oemeet.’
'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 Na kais sie mwet ma mutawauk orekma ke ao limekosr ke eku, elos eis ipin silver se.
And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
10 Ouinge ke mwet ma mutawauk oemeet in orekma elos tuku in eis molin orekma lalos, elos nunku mu ac yohk ma elos ac eis; tusruktu elos eis pacna kais sie ipin silver.
'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
11 Elos eis mani lalos ac mutawauk in torkaskas lain mwet kacto sac
and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
12 ac fahk, ‘Mwet ma touyak oetok inge elos orekma ke ao sefanna, a kut orekma len fon se ye faht uh, ac kom moli nu selos oana ke kom moli nu sesr!’
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 Na mwet kacto sac fahk nu sin sie selos, ‘Mwet kawuk, porongeyu. Nga tiana kutasrik nu sum. Kom tuh insese in orekma len fon se ke ipin silver se na.
'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 Inge kom eis mani lom an ac folokla nu lohm sum. Nga lungse sang nu sin mwet se ma tuku oetok inge lupa se na ma nga sot nu sum ah.
take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
15 Ya tia ma luk in sulela ma nga ac oru ke mani luk sifacna? Ya kom loloik mweyen nga oru wo nu selos?’”
is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
16 Na Jesus el fahk, “Ouinge, elos su tok ac fah meet, ac elos su meet ac fah tok.”
So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'
17 Ke Jesus el ututyak nu Jerusalem, el srela mwet tumal lutlut ac kaskas nu selos inkanek uh
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
18 ac fahk, “Kut ac som nu Jerusalem pa inge, ac Wen nutin Mwet el ac fah itukyang nu inpoun mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh. Elos ac fah wotela elan misa,
'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,
19 na elos fah eisalang nu inpoun mwet pegan, su ac fah aksruksrukel, srunglul, ac unilya fin sakseng soko. Tusruktu ke len se aktolu el ac fah sifil akmoulyeyukyak.”
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 In pacl sac, mutan kial Zebedee el tuku nu yurin Jesus, wi wen luo natul. El epasrla ye mutal ac fahk lah oasr ma el ke siyuk.
Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,
21 Ac Jesus el fahk, “Mea kom lungse?” Na nina sac fahk, “Wulema nu sik lah wen luo nutik inge ac fah muta, sie lac poum layot ac sie lac poum lasa, ke kom ac tokosrala uh.”
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 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin tamulel sac, “Komtal tia etu ma komtal siyuk an. Ya komtal ac ku in nim ke cup in keok se ma nga akola in nim kac?” Ac eltal fahk, “Kut ku.”
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 Na Jesus el fahk, “Pwaye lah komtal ac nim kac, tusruktu tia ma luk in fahk lah su ac muta layot ac lasa sik. Acn inge ma sin mwet su Papa tumuk El akoela nu se.”
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 Ke mwet tumal lutlut singoul saya elos lohng ma inge, elos arulana kasrkusrak sin tamulel sac.
And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,
25 Ouinge Jesus el pangnoloseni ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos etu lah mwet kol lun mwet pegan uh lungse na sapsap nu fin mwet lalos, ac mwet leum uh elos akkalemye lah ku nukewa oasr selos.
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 Tusruktu, ac fah tia ouinge yuruwos. Sie suwos fin ke elan fulat inmasrlowos, el enenu in mwet kulansap lowos;
but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;
27 ac sie suwos fin lungse in el emeet, enenu elan mwet foko lowos,
and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;
28 oana ke Wen nutin Mwet el tia tuku in tuh kulansupweyuk el, a tuh elan sie mwet kulansap, ac sang moul lal in molela mwet puspis.”
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 Ke Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som liki acn Jericho, oasr sie un mwet na yohk fahsr tokolos.
And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,
30 Mwet kun luo su muta sisken innek uh lohng lah Jesus el fahsr in alukeltalla, na eltal wowoyak ac fahk, “Wen nutin David! Pakoten nu sesr!”
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 Mwet in u sac elos mulat nu seltal ac fahk eltal in koasrlong. A eltal wowoyak yohk liki meet ac fahk, “O Leum, Wen nutin David! Pakomutasr!”
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 Jesus el tui, ac pangnoltal ac siyuk, “Mea komtal lungse ngan oru nu sumtal?”
And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, 'What will ye [that] I may do to you?'
33 Ac eltal fahk, “Leum, oru tuh kut in ku in liye!”
they say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'
34 Jesus el pakomutaltal ac kahlye mutaltal. In pacl sacna eltal ku in liye, ac eltal fahsr tokol.
and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
