Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
1「因為天國好像家主清早去雇人進他的葡萄園做工，
2And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
2和工人講定一天一錢銀子，就打發他們進葡萄園去。
3And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
3約在巳初出去，看見市上還有閒站的人，
4And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
4就對他們說：『你們也進葡萄園去，所當給的，我必給你們。』他們也進去了。
5And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
5約在午正和申初又出去，也是這樣行。
6But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
6約在酉初出去，看見還有人站在那裏，就問他們說：『你們為甚麼整天在這裏閒站呢？』
7They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
7他們說：『因為沒有人雇我們。』他說：『你們也進葡萄園去。』
8And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.
8到了晚上，園主對管事的說：『叫工人都來，給他們工錢，從後來的起，到先來的為止。』
9When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
9約在酉初雇的人來了，各人得了一錢銀子。
10But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
10及至那先雇的來了，他們以為必要多得；誰知也是各得一錢。
11And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
11他們得了，就埋怨家主說：
12Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.
12『我們整天勞苦受熱，那後來的只做了一小時，你竟叫他們和我們一樣嗎？』
13But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
13家主回答其中的一人說：『朋友，我不虧負你，你與我講定的不是一錢銀子嗎？
14Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
14拿你的走吧！我給那後來的和給你一樣，這是我願意的。
15Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
15我的東西難道不可隨我的意思用嗎？因為我作好人，你就紅了眼嗎？』
16So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
16這樣，那在後的，將要在前；在前的，將要在後了。 」
17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:
17耶穌上 耶路撒冷 去的時候，在路上把十二個門徒帶到一邊，對他們說：
18Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.
18「看哪，我們上 耶路撒冷 去，人子要被交給祭司長和文士。他們要定他死罪，
19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.
19又交給外邦人，將他戲弄，鞭打，釘在十字架上；第三日他要復活。」
20Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
20那時， 西庇太 兒子的母親同她兩個兒子上前來拜耶穌，求他一件事。
21Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
21耶穌說：「你要甚麼呢？」她說：「願你叫我這兩個兒子在你國裏，一個坐在你右邊，一個坐在你左邊。」
22And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
22耶穌回答說：「你們不知道所求的是甚麼；我將要喝的杯，你們能喝嗎？」他們說：「我們能。」
23He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
23耶穌說：「我所喝的杯，你們必要喝；只是坐在我的左右，不是我可以賜的，乃是我父為誰預備的，就賜給誰。」
24And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
24那十個門徒聽見，就惱怒他們弟兄二人。
25But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
25耶穌叫了他們來，說：「你們知道外邦人有君王為主治理他們，有大臣操權管束他們。
26It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
26只是在你們中間，不可這樣；你們中間誰願為大，就必作你們的用人；
27And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
27誰願為首，就必作你們的僕人。
28Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
28正如人子來，不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命，作多人的贖價。」
29And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
29他們出 耶利哥 的時候，有極多的人跟隨他。
30And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
30有兩個瞎子坐在路旁，聽說是耶穌經過，就喊着說：「主啊， 大衛 的子孫，可憐我們吧！」
31And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us.
31眾人責備他們，不許他們作聲；他們卻越發喊着說：「主啊， 大衛 的子孫，可憐我們吧！」
32And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?
32耶穌就站住，叫他們來，說：「要我為你們做甚麼？」
33They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
33他們說：「主啊，要我們的眼睛能看見！」
34And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.
34耶穌就動了慈心，把他們的眼睛一摸，他們立刻看見，就跟從了耶穌。
