1 For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And having gone out about {the} third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;
4 and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
6 But about the eleventh {hour}, having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard {and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive}.
8 But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay {them} their wages, beginning from the last even to the first.
9 And when they {who came to work} about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.
11 And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,
12 saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.
13 But he answering said to one of them, {My} friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:
15 is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good?
16 Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
17 And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with {him} apart in the way, and said to them,
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death;
19 and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.
20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.
21 And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak {the word} that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.
22 And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which *I* am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.
23 {And} he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on {my} left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24 And the ten, having heard {of it}, were indignant about the two brothers.
25 But Jesus having called them to {him}, said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.
26 It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;
27 and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;
28 as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 And as they went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.
30 And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
31 But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.
32 And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?
33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.
1 He rite hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi rangatira whare, i haere i te atatu ki te korero kaimahi mo tana mara waina.
2 A, no ka oti te whakarite ki nga kaimahi kia kotahi ra he pene, tonoa ana ratou e ia ki tana mara waina.
3 A ka haere atu ia i te toru o nga haora, ka kite i etahi atu e tu mangere ana i te kainga hokohoko,
4 Ka mea ki a ratou, Haere hoki koutou ki te mara waina, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou te mea e tika ana. Na haere ana ratou.
5 I haere ano ia i te ono, i te iwa o nga haora, a pera ana ano.
6 I te tekau ma tahi o nga haora ka haere atu ano ia, ka kite i etahi atu e tu ana, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e tu mangere i konei i te ra roa nei?
7 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No te mea ra kahore he tangata i korero ki a matou ki te mahi. Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere ano koutou ki te mara waina, ko te mea tika koia tera e whiwhi ai koutou.
8 A, no te ahiahi ka mea te rangatira o te mara waina ki tana kaiwhakahauhau, Karangatia nga kaimahi, utua hoki ratou, hei o muri timata ai puta noa ki o mua.
9 A, no te taenga mai o te hunga i korerotia i te tekau ma tahi o nga haora, kotahi te pene i riro i tetahi, i tetahi.
10 Ka tae ano o mua, hua noa ratou tera atu te mea e riro i a ratou; heoi katahi ano te pene i riro i a ratou.
11 A, no ka riro i a ratou, ka amuamu ki taua rangatira whare,
12 Ka mea, Kotahi te haora i mahi ai enei o muri, a ka oti ratou te whakarite ki a matou, ki te hunga i pehia nei e te taimaha e te tikakatanga o te ra.
13 A ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki tetahi o ratou, E hoa, kahore aku he ki a koe: kihai koe i whakarite ki ahau me pene?
14 Tangohia tau, haere: e pai ana ahau kia rite ki tau te mea e hoatu ki tenei o muri.
15 Ehara ianei i te tika kia meatia e ahau taku e pai ai ki aku mea? He kino oti tou kanohi no te mea he pai ahau?
16 Heoi, ko o muri e meinga ki mua, ko o mua ki muri: he tokomaha hoki e karangatia, he ruarua ia e whiriwhiria.
17 A, i a Ihu e haere ana ki Hiruharama, i a ratou i te ara, ka kawea e ia ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua ki tahaki, a ka mea ki a ratou,
18 Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama; a ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga karaipi, ka kiia ia e ratou kia mate,
19 Ka tukua ia ki nga tauiwi kia tawaia, kia whiua, kia ripekatia: a i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia ake.
20 Me i reira ka tae ki a ia te whaea o nga tama a Heperi, ratou ko ana tama, a ka koropiko, ka inoi ki tetahi mea i a ia.
21 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He hiahia aha tou? Ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakaaetia enei tama tokorua aku, kia noho, tetahi ki tou matau, tetahi ki tou maui, i tou rangatiratanga.
22 Otira ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, Kahore korua e mohio ki ta korua e inoi nei. E ahei ranei korua te inu i te kapu meake inumia e ahau, kia iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau? Ka mea raua ki a ia, E ahei ano.
23 Ka mea ia ki a raua, E inu ano korua i taku kapu, e iriiria ki te iriiringa e iriiria ai ahau: ko te noho ia ki toku matau, ki toku maui, ehara i ahau mana e hoatu, engari ka riro i te hunga i whakaritea nei e toku Matua mo ratou.
24 A, no ka rongo te tekau, ka riri ki aua hoa tokorua.
25 Otira ka karangatia ratou e Ihu, a ka mea ia, E matau ana koutou, ko nga kawana o nga tauiwi hei whakatupu rangatira ki a ratou, ko nga tangata rarahi hei akiaki i a ratou.
26 E kore e pera i roto i a koutou: engari ki te mea tetahi kia tupu ia hei tangata nui i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu kaimahi ia ma koutou;
27 A ki te mea tetahi kia tupu ko ia hei tino tangata i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu pononga ia ma koutou:
28 Pera i te Tama a te tangata, kihai nei i haere mai kia mahia he mea mana, engari kia mahi ia, a kia tuku i a ia kia mate hei whakautu mo nga tangata tokomaha.
29 A, i a ratou e haere atu ana i Heriko, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.
30 Na tokorua nga matapo e noho ana i te taha o te ara: ka rongo raua ko Ihu tera e haere atu ana, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Kia aroha ki a maua, e te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri.
31 A i riria raua e te mano kia noho puku: heoi rahi ake ta raua karanga, ka mea, Kia aroha ki a maua, e te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri.
32 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka karanga i a raua, ka mea, Kia ahatia korua e ahau?
33 Ka mea raua ki a ia, E te Ariki, kia kite o maua kanohi.
34 Na ka aroha a Ihu, ka pa ki o raua kanohi: a titiro tonu ake o raua kanohi, a aru ana raua i a ia.
