1 Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a householder, who went out with morning to hire laborers into the vineyard of him.

2 Having agreed and with the laborers for a denarius the day, he sent him into the vineyard of him.

3 And going out about third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle;

4 and to them he said: Go and you into the vineyard; and whatever may be just, I will give you. They and went away.

5 Again going out about sixth and ninth hour, he did in like manner.

6 About and the eleventh hour going out, he found others standing, and he says to them: Why here stood you all the day idle?

7 They say to him: Because no one us hired. He says to them: Go also you into the vineyard; and whatever maybe just, you shall receive.

8 Evening and having come on, says the lord of the vineyard to the steward of him: Call the laborers, and give to them the hire, beginning from the last, till the first.

9 And having come those about the eleventh hour, received each a denarius.

10 Having then those first, supposed, that more they shall receive; and received also they each a denarius.

11 Having received but they murmured against the householder,

12 saying: That these the last one hour worked, and equal to us them thou hast made, to the having endured the burden of the day, and the burning heat.

13 He but answering said to one of them: Friend, not I wrong thee; not of a denarius didst thou agree to me?

14 Take thee thine and go, I wish and to this the last to give as also of thee.

15 Or not is it lawful to me to do what I will with the my own? or the eye of thee evil is, because I good am?

16 Thus shall be the last, first; and the first, last. Many for are called, few but chosen.
