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. 2 When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. 4 He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

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.’

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.’ 9 "When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. 10 When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household, 12 saying, ‘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!’

13 "But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you. 15 Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen."

17 As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 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, 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up."

20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him. 21 He 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."

22 But 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."

23 He 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."

24 When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

25 But 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. 26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. 27 Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

29 As they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 Behold, 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!" 31 The 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!"

32 Jesus stood still and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

33 They told him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

34 Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, 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.
