1Simile est regnum cælorum homini patrifamilias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam.
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.
2Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno, misit eos in vineam suam.
2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3Et egressus circa horam tertiam, vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos,
3He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
4et dixit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam, et quod justum fuerit dabo vobis.
4He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.
5Illi autem abierunt. Iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam: et fecit similiter.
5Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6Circa undecimam vero exiit, et invenit alios stantes, et dicit illis: Quid hic statis tota die otiosi?
6About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’
7Dicunt ei: Quia nemo nos conduxit. Dicit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam.
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.’
8Cum sero autem factum esset, dicit dominus vineæ procuratori suo: Voca operarios, et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos.
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.’
9Cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant, acceperunt singulos denarios.
9“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
10Venientes autem et primi, arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi: acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios.
10When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
11Et accipientes murmurabant adversus patremfamilias,
11When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
12dicentes: Hi novissimi una hora fecerunt, et pares illos nobis fecisti, qui portavimus pondus diei, et æstus.
12saying, ‘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!’
13At ille respondens uni eorum, dixit: Amice, non facio tibi injuriam: nonne ex denario convenisti mecum?
13“But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?
14Tolle quod tuum est, et vade: volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi.
14Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
15Aut non licet mihi quod volo, facere? an oculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum?
15Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
16Sic erunt novissimi primi, et primi novissimi. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
16So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
17Et ascendens Jesus Jerosolymam, assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto, et ait illis:
17As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,
18Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et condemnabunt eum morte,
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,
19et tradent eum gentibus ad illudendum, et flagellandum, et crucifigendum, et tertia die resurget.
19and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”
20Tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedæi cum filiis suis, adorans et petens aliquid ab eo.
20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.
21Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic ut sedeant hi duo filii mei, unus ad dexteram tuam, et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo.
21He 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.”
22Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: Nescitis quid petatis. Potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibiturus sum? Dicunt ei: Possumus.
22But 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.”
23Ait illis: Calicem quidem meum bibetis: sedere autem ad dexteram meam vel sinistram non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo.
23He 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.”
24Et audientes decem, indignati sunt de duobus fratribus.
24When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
25Jesus autem vocavit eos ad se, et ait: Scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum: et qui majores sunt, potestatem exercent in eos.
25But 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.
26Non ita erit inter vos: sed quicumque voluerit inter vos major fieri, sit vester minister:
26It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
27et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse, erit vester servus.
27Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,
28Sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari, sed ministrare, et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis.
28even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
29Et egredientibus illis ab Jericho, secuta est eum turba multa,
29As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30et ecce duo cæci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Jesus transiret: et clamaverunt, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.
30Behold, 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!”
31Turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent. At illi magis clamabant, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David.
31The 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!”
32Et stetit Jesus, et vocavit eos, et ait: Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?
32Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
33Dicunt illi: Domine, ut aperiantur oculi nostri.
33They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34Misertus autem eorum Jesus, tetigit oculos eorum. Et confestim viderunt, et secuti sunt eum.
34Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.
