¹መንግሥተ ሰማያት ለወይኑ አትክልት ሠራተኞችን ሊቀጥር ማልዶ የወጣ ባለቤት ሰውን ትመስላለችና።

¹For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.

²ሠራተኞችንም በቀን አንድ ዲናር ተስማምቶ ወደ ወይኑ አትክልት ሰደዳቸው።

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

³በሦስት ሰዓትም ወጥቶ ሥራ የፈቱ ሌሎችን በአደባባይ ቆመው አየ፥

³And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;

⁴እነዚያንም። እናንተ ደግሞ ወደ ወይኔ አትክልት ሂዱ የሚገባውንም እሰጣችኋለሁ አላቸው። እነርሱም ሄዱ።

⁴and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.

⁵ደግሞም በስድስትና በዘጠኝ ሰዓት ወጥቶ እንዲሁ አደረገ።

⁵Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.

⁶በአሥራ አንደኛውም ሰዓት ወጥቶ ሌሎችን ቆመው አገኘና። ሥራ ፈትታችሁ ቀኑን ሁሉ በዚህ ስለ ምን ትቆማላችሁ? አላቸው።

⁶But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

⁷የሚቀጥረን ስለ አጣን ነው አሉት። እርሱም። እናንተ ደግሞ ወደ ወይኔ አትክልት ሂዱ የሚገባውንም ትቀበላላችሁ አላቸው።

⁷They 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].

⁸በመሸም ጊዜ የወይኑ አትክልት ጌታ አዛዡን። ሠራተኞችን ጥራና ከኋለኞች ጀምረህ እስከ ፊተኞች ድረስ ደመወዝ ስጣቸው አለው።

⁸But 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.

⁹በአሥራ አንደኛው ሰዓትም የገቡ መጥተው እያንዳንዳቸው አንድ ዲናር ተቀበሉ።

⁹And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

¹⁰ፊተኞችም በመጡ ጊዜ አብዝተው የሚቀበሉ መስሎአቸው ነበር፤ እነርሱም ደግሞ እያንዳንዳቸው አንድ ዲናር ተቀበሉ።

¹⁰And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius.

¹¹ተቀብለውም። እነዚህ ኋለኞች አንድ ሰዓት ሠሩ፥ የቀኑንም ድካምና ትኩሳት ከተሸከምን ከእኛ ጋር አስተካከልሃቸው ብለው በባለቤቱ ላይ አንጐራጐሩ።

¹¹And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house,

¹³እርሱ ግን መልሶ ከእነርሱ ለአንዱ እንዲህ አለው። ወዳጄ ሆይ፥ አልበደልሁህም በአንድ ዲናር አልተስማማኸኝምን?

¹²saying, 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.

¹⁴ድርሻህን ውሰድና ሂድ፤ እኔ ለዚህ ለኋለኛው እንደ አንተ ልሰጠው እወዳለሁ፤ በገንዘቤ የወደድሁትን አደርግ ዘንድ መብት የለኝምን?

¹³But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?

¹⁵ወይስ እኔ መልካም ስለ ሆንሁ ዓይንህ ምቀኛ ናትን?

¹⁴Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:

¹⁶እንዲሁ ኋለኞች ፊተኞች፥ ፊተኞችም ኋለኞች ይሆናሉ፤ የተጠሩ ብዙዎች፥ የተመረጡ ግን ጥቂቶች ናቸውና።

¹⁵is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good?

¹⁷ኢየሱስም ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ሊወጣ ሳለ፥ በመንገድ አሥራ ሁለቱን ደቀ መዛሙርት ብቻቸውን ወደ እርሱ አቅርቦ።

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

¹⁸እነሆ፥ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እንወጣለን፥ የሰው ልጅም ለካህናት አለቆችና ለጻፎች ይሰጣል፤ የሞት ፍርድም ይፈርዱበታል፥

¹⁷And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with [him] apart in the way, and said to them,

¹⁹ሊዘባበቱበትም ሊገርፉትም ሊሰቅሉትም ለአሕዛብ አሳልፈው ይሰጡታል፥ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣል አላቸው።

¹⁸Behold 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;

²⁰በዚያን ጊዜ የዘብዴዎስ ልጆች እናት ከልጆችዋ ጋር እየሰገደችና አንድ ነገር እየለመነች ወደ እርሱ ቀረበች።

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

²¹እርሱም። ምን ትፈልጊያለሽ? አላት። እርስዋም። እነዚህ ሁለቱ ልጆቼ አንዱ በቀኝህ አንዱም በግራህ በመንግሥትህ እንዲቀመጡ እዘዝ አለችው።

²⁰Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.

²²ኢየሱስ ግን መልሶ። የምትለምኑትን አታውቁም። እኔ ልጠጣው ያለውን ጽዋ ልትጠጡ እኔም የምጠመቀውን ጥምቀት ልትጠመቁ ትችላላችሁን? አለ። እንችላለን አሉት።

²¹And 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.

²³እርሱም። ጽዋዬንስ ትጠጣላችሁ፤ በቀኝና በግራ መቀመጥ ግን ከአባቴ ዘንድ ለተዘጋጀላቸው ነው እንጂ እኔ የምሰጥ አይደለሁም አላቸው።

²²And 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.

²⁴አሥሩም ሰምተው በሁለቱ ወንድማማች ተቈጡ።

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.

²⁵ኢየሱስ ግን ወደ እርሱ ጠርቶ እንዲህ አላቸው። የአሕዛብ አለቆች እንዲገዙአቸው ታላላቆቹም በላያቸው እንዲሠለጥኑ ታውቃላችሁ።

²⁴And the ten, having heard [of it], were indignant about the two brothers.

²⁶በእናንተስ እንዲህ አይደለም፤ ነገር ግን ማንም ከእናንተ ታላቅ ሊሆን የሚወድ የእናንተ አገልጋይ ይሁን፥

²⁵But 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.

²⁷ከእናንተም ማንም ፊተኛ ሊሆን የሚወድ የእናንተ ባሪያ ይሁን፤

²⁶It shall not be thus amongst you, but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your servant;

²⁸እንዲሁም የሰው ልጅ ሊያገለግል ነፍሱንም ለብዙዎች ቤዛ ሊሰጥ እንጂ እንዲያገለግሉት አልመጣም።

²⁷and whosoever will be first among you, let him be your bondman;

²⁹ከኢያሪኮም ሲወጡ ብዙ ሕዝብ ተከተሉት።

²⁸as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

³⁰እነሆም፥ ሁለት ዕውሮች በመንገድ ዳር ተቀምጠው፥ ኢየሱስ እንዲያልፍ በሰሙ ጊዜ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ የዳዊት ልጅ፥ ማረን ብለው ጮኹ።

²⁹And as they went out from Jericho a great crowd followed him.

³¹ሕዝቡም ዝም እንዲሉ ገሠጹአቸው፤ እነርሱ ግን። ጌታ ሆይ፥ የዳዊት ልጅ፥ ማረን እያሉ አብዝተው ጮኹ።

³⁰And 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.

³²ኢየሱስም ቆሞ ጠራቸውና። ምን ላደርግላችሁ ትወዳላችሁ? አለ።

³¹But the crowd rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

³³ጌታ ሆይ፥ ዓይኖቻችን ይከፈቱ ዘንድ አሉት።

³²And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

³⁴ኢየሱስም አዘነላቸውና ዓይኖቻቸውን ዳሰሰ፥ ወዲያውም አዩና ተከተሉት።

³³They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

³⁴And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.
