¹`For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,

¹Taevariik on majaisanda sarnane, kes läks varahommikul välja palkama töötegijaid oma viinamäele.

²and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

²Kui ta oli töölistega päevapalga kokku leppinud ühele teenarile, läkitas ta nad oma viinamäele.

³`And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,

³Ja kui ta läks välja kolmandal tunnil, nägi ta turul teisi jõude seismas

⁴and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;

⁴ja ta ütles neilegi: 'Minge ka teie viinamäele, ja ma annan teile, mis iganes õiglane!'

⁵and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.

⁵Ja need läksid. Taas läks ta välja kuuendal ja üheksandal tunnil ning tegi nõndasamuti.

⁶And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?

⁶Aga kui ta üheteistkümnendal tunnil välja läks, leidis ta teisi seisvat ja ütles neilegi: 'Mis te siin kogu päeva jõude seisate?'

⁷they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye — ye also — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.

⁷Nad ütlesid talle: 'Meid ei ole keegi palganud.' Ta ütles neile: 'Minge ka teie viinamäele!'

⁸`And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last — unto the first.

⁸Aga kui õhtu tuli, ütles viinamäe isand oma valitsejale: 'Kutsu töölised ja anna neile palk viimasest kuni esimeseni!'

⁹And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.

⁹Ja üheteistkümnendal tunnil palgatud tulid ning said igaüks ühe teenari.

¹⁰`And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,

¹⁰Kui siis esimesed tulid, oletasid nad, et nemad saavad rohkem, aga nemadki said igaüks ühe teenari.

¹¹and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

¹¹Aga kui nad selle olid saanud, siis nad nurisesid majaisanda üle:

¹²that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day — and the heat.

¹²'Need viimased on töötanud ainult ühe tunni, ent sina oled teinud nad võrdseks meiega, kes me oleme kandnud päeva koormat ja lõõska!'

¹³`And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?

¹³Isand aga vastas ühele nendest: 'Sõber, ma ei tee sulle ülekohut! Kas sa ei leppinud minuga kokku ühele teenarile?

¹⁴take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;

¹⁴Võta oma palk ja mine oma teed, aga sellele viimasele tahan ma anda nagu sullegi!

¹⁵is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?

¹⁵Kas ma ei tohi enese omaga teha, mida tahan? Või on sinu silm kade, et mina olen hea?'

¹⁶So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.`

¹⁶Nõnda saavad viimased esimesteks ja esimesed jäävad viimasteks. [Sest paljud on kutsutud, aga vähesed on valitud.]'

¹⁷And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,

¹⁷Kui Jeesus läks üles Jeruusalemma, võttis ta kaksteist jüngrit kõrvale ja ütles neile teel:

¹⁸`Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,

¹⁸'Vaata, me läheme üles Jeruusalemma ja Inimese Poeg antakse ülempreestrite ja kirjatundjate kätte ning need mõistavad ta surma

¹⁹and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.`

¹⁹ja annavad ta paganate kätte teotada ja piitsutada ja risti lüüa; ning kolmandal päeval äratatakse ta üles.'

²⁰Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,

²⁰Siis astus Sebedeuse poegade ema koos oma poegadega Jeesuse juurde, kummardas ja palus temalt midagi.

²¹and he said to her, `What wilt thou?` She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.`

²¹Jeesus küsis: 'Mida sa tahad?' Naine ütles talle: 'Ütle, et need mu kaks poega istuksid su Kuningriigis üks su paremal ja teine su pahemal käel!'

²²And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?` They say to him, `We are able.`

²²Aga Jeesus kostis: 'Teie ei tea, mida te palute. Kas te võite juua karikast, mida minul tuleb juua?' Nad vastasid talle: 'Võime küll!'

²³And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.`

²³Tema ütles neile: 'Küllap te joote minu karikast, kuid istuda mu paremal või pahemal käel - ei ole minul seda anda, vaid see antakse neile, kellele mu Isa selle on valmistanud.'

²⁴And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,

²⁴Ja kui need kümme sellest kuulsid, läks nende meel pahaseks kahe venna peale.

²⁵and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,

²⁵Aga Jeesus kutsus nad enese juurde ja ütles: 'Te teate, et rahvaste valitsejad peremehetsevad nende üle ja suured meelevallatsevad nende kallal.

²⁶but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;

²⁶Nõnda ei tohi olla teie seas, vaid kes iganes teie seas tahab saada suureks, olgu teie teenija,

²⁷and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

²⁷ja kes iganes teie seas tahab olla esimene, olgu teie sulane,

²⁸even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.`

²⁸nii nagu Inimese Poeg ei ole tulnud, et lasta ennast teenida, vaid et ise teenida ja anda oma elu lunaks paljude eest!'

²⁹And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,

²⁹Ja Jeerikost välja minnes läks Jeesusega kaasa suur rahvahulk.

³⁰and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.`

³⁰Ja vaata, kaks pimedat istus tee ääres. Kui nad kuulsid, et Jeesus möödub, kisendasid nad: 'Halasta meie peale, Issand, Taaveti Poeg!'

³¹And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.`

³¹Rahvahulk aga sõitles neid, et nad vaikiksid. Kuid nemad kisendasid veel rohkem: 'Halasta meie peale, Issand, Taaveti Poeg!'

³²And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will ye [that] I may do to you?`

³²Ja Jeesus seisatas, kutsus neid ja ütles: 'Mida te tahate, et ma teile teeksin?'

³³they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;`

³³Nemad ütlesid talle: 'Issand, et meie silmad avaneksid!'

³⁴and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

³⁴Jeesusel hakkas neist hale ja ta puudutas nende silmi. Ja kohe nägid nad jälle ning läksid temaga kaasa.
