¹For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

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

²And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁶And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here 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 unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

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

⁸And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning 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 when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.

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

¹⁰And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling.

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

¹¹And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,

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

¹²saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.

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

¹³But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?

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

¹⁴Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.

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

¹⁵Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or 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.

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

¹⁷And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them,

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

¹⁸Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,

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

¹⁹and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.

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

²⁰Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.

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

²¹And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.

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!'

²²But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto 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!'

²³He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of 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 when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.

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

²⁵But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones 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.

²⁶Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

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

²⁷and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:

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

²⁸even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, 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 as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

²⁹Ja Jeerikost välja minnes läks Jeesusega kaasa suur rahvahulk.

³⁰And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou 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 rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.

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

³²And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?

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

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

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

³⁴And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.

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