1The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into 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.
2And having agreed with the labourers for a penny 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 about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle.
3Pea ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo mamata ki he niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi he potu fakatau.
4And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.
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.
5And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
5Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono ono mo hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo ne toe fai pehē.
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?
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 say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.
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 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“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.’
9When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
9Pea haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe unga ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea maʻu taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae tenali.
10But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny.
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 receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
11Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ia, naʻa nau lāunga ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale,
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.
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 answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
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 is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
14Toʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, pea ke ʻalu: te u ʻoatu ki he mui mai ni, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.
15Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good?
15ʻIkai ʻoku ngofua kiate au ke fai ʻeku faʻiteliha ki he meʻa ʻaʻaku? ʻOku kovi ho mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou angalelei?’
16So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.
16Ko ia ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui: he ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
17And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and 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,
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“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 shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.
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 came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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 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.
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 the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
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 princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon 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 whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
26Ka ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia ʻoku loto ke lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, ke hoko ia ko homou tauhi.
27And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
27pea ko ia ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki:
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.
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 when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
29Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi Seliko, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi.
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.
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.”
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.
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 Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you?
32Pea tuʻu mai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ui kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ho mo loto ke u fai kiate kimoua?”
33They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened.
33Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā homa mata.”
34And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him.
34Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne tuhuʻi hona mata; pea ʻā ai leva hona mata, ʻo na muimui ʻiate ia.
