Mātiu 20
1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
1“HE ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu hengihengi pe, ke unga ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
2After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
2Pea kuo nau alea mo e kau ngāue ko e ʻaho mo e tenali ʻe taha, naʻa ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
3And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
3Pea ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo mamata ki he niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi he potu fakatau.
4and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’
4Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine, pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu.’ Pea nau ʻalu.
5So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.
5Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono ono mo hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo ne toe fai pehē.
6And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
6Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mou tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi heni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa?’
7They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’
7Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai unga ʻakimautolu ʻe ha taha.’ Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine; pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te mou maʻu.’
8And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’
8“Pea kuo efiafi, pea pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine ki heʻene tauhi koloa, ‘Ui ʻae kau ngāue, ʻo ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻenau totongi, ʻo fua fai ki he mui mai ʻo aʻu ki he muʻomuʻa mai.’
9And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.
9Pea haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe unga ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea maʻu taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae tenali.
10Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius.
10Pea ʻi he omi ʻae kau muʻomuʻa mai, naʻa nau ʻamanaki ke maʻu ʻo lahi hake; ka naʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu taki taha foki ʻae tenali.
11And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house,
11Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ia, naʻa nau lāunga ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale,
12saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’
12ʻO nau pehē, ‘Ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo ngāue ai ʻae kau muimui mai ni, pea kuo ke fakatatau ʻakinautolu kiate kimautolu kuo katekina ʻae ngāue ʻoe ʻaho, mo hono pupuha.’
13But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
13Ka naʻe lea ia ki honau tokotaha, ʻo pehēange, ‘Kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u fai hala kiate koe: ʻikai naʻa ta alea ki he tenali?’
14Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you.
14Toʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, pea ke ʻalu: te u ʻoatu ki he mui mai ni, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.
15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’
15ʻIkai ʻoku ngofua kiate au ke fai ʻeku faʻiteliha ki he meʻa ʻaʻaku? ʻOku kovi ho mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou angalelei?’
16So the last will be first, and the first last.”
16Ko ia ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui: he ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
17And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
17Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema, naʻa ne fakaafe ʻae kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻi he hala, ʻo ne tala kiate kinautolu,
18“See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death
18“Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema; pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi; pea te nau fakamaau ia ke mate;
19and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
19pea ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile ke manukiʻi, mo haha, mo tutuki ki he ʻakau: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something.
20Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti mo ʻene ongo tama, ʻo hū, mo ne holi ki he meʻa ʻe taha meiate ia.
21And he said to her,“What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”
21Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā ho loto?” Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuku ke nofo ʻeku ongo tama ni, ko e tokotaha ki ho nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki ho toʻohema, ʻi ho puleʻanga.”
22Jesus answered,“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
22Ka naʻe leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou kole. ʻOku mou faʻa fai ke inu ʻi he ipu te u inu ai, pea ke papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai?” Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻOku ma mafai pe.”
23He said to them,“You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
23Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻE inu moʻoni ʻekimoua ʻi heʻeku ipu, pea papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai: ka ko e nofo ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, mo hoku toʻohema, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku ia ke foaki, ka kiate kinautolu pē kuo teuteu ia ki ai ʻe heʻeku Tamai.”
24And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers.
24Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae toko hongofulu, naʻe tupu ai ʻenau ʻita ki he ongo kāinga.
25But Jesus called them to him and said,“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
25Ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko e houʻeiki ʻoe Senitaile ʻoku nau faʻa puleʻi ʻa kinautolu, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lahi ʻoku nau faʻa pule mālohi kiate kinautolu.
26It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
26Ka ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia ʻoku loto ke lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, ke hoko ia ko homou tauhi.
27and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,
27pea ko ia ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki:
28even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
28ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko e Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ʻikai haʻu ia ke tauhia ia, ka ke tauhi, pea ke foaki ʻene moʻui ko e huhuʻi ʻoe tokolahi.”
29And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
29Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi Seliko, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi.
30And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
30Pea vakai, naʻe nonofo ʻae ongo tangata kui ʻi he veʻe hala, pea kuo na fanongo ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻa Sisu, naʻa na kalanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
31The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
31Pea lolomi ʻakinaua ʻe he kakai, ke na fakalongo pē: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻena tangi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
32And stopping, Jesus called them and said,“What do you want me to do for you?”
32Pea tuʻu mai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ui kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ho mo loto ke u fai kiate kimoua?”
33They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.”
33Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā homa mata.”
34And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.
34Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne tuhuʻi hona mata; pea ʻā ai leva hona mata, ʻo na muimui ʻiate ia.
