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.

¹Vangam tuh, in neipa grephuana semdingte chial ding a jinga pawt bang ahi.

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

²Huan, aman tuh nasemte toh ni khata makhai loh dia a kituah tak un a grep huan ah a sawl chiat ta a.

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

³Huan, dak thumna ding khawng in a vapawt a, midang dawl mun a ding maimaite a mu a;

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

⁴huan, a kiang uah, Nou leng grep huan ah va pai sam ve ua, a kilawm hun ka honpe de, a chi a.

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

⁵Huchi in, a paita ua. Huan, dak gukna ding khawng in leh dak kuana ding khawng in a va pawt nawna, huchi bangmah in a hih nawn a.

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?

⁶Huan, dak sawm leh khatna khawng ding in a va pawt a, mi dang dingte a mu a; huan, a kiang uah, Bangdia ni tum ahiai lai a ding maimai na hi ua? A chi a.

⁷They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

⁷Amau tuh a kiangah, Kuamahin a honchial louh jiakun, a chi ua. Aman tuh a kiang uah, Nou leng grep huan ah va hoh sam un, a chi a.

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.

⁸Huan, nitaklam a honghih in, grep huan neipan, a sum kempa kiangah, Nasemte sam inla, a nanungpen a kipanin a masapen tan in aloh uh pia in, a chi a.

⁹And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.

⁹Huan, dak sawm leh khatna ding khawng a achialte a hong uh leh makhai a mu chiat ua.

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

¹⁰Huan, a masapente a hong un, muh tam deuh a kiging ua; himahleh amau leng makhai mah a mu chiat uh.

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

¹¹Huan, a sum a san takun, in neipa tungah a phunta ua,

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.

¹²Hiai nanungpenten dak kal khat kia a sem ua, kou sun haksa leh khoul thuakte toh kibangin na bawla, chi in.

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

¹³Aman bel, a lak ua mi khat kiangah, Lawm, na tungah bangmah ka hihkhial sama; makhai loh dingin i kituak ka hia?

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

¹⁴Nanga la inla pai mai in; nang ka honpiak bangmah hiai nanungpen kiangah ka pe nuam ahi.

¹⁵Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?

¹⁵Kei a hiven, ka utut a ka hih a siang ka hia? A hihkeileh, kei ka hoih jiakin nang na haja ahia? chi in, a dawng a.

¹⁶So the last shall be first, and the first last.

¹⁶Huchi in, a nanungpente tuh a masapente a honghi ding ua, amasapente leng a nanungpente a honghi ding uh, a chi a.

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

¹⁷Huan, Jesu Jerusalem khua a a hohtouh lai in nungjui sawm leh nihte a pituam a, lampi ah a kiang uah,

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,

¹⁸Ngai dih uh, Jerusalem khua ah i pai tou dia, Mihing Tapa siampu lalte leh laigelhmite khut a matsak in a om ding; huan, amau tuh si ding in a tungah thu a hihpuk ding uh,

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

¹⁹nuihza bawl nadia zat ding leh kros a kilhden ding in Jentelte kiang ah a pe ding uh; huan, ni thum ni a kaihthoh in a om ding, a chi a.

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

²⁰Huai laitak in, Zebedai tapate nu, a tate pi in, a kiang ah a hong a, chibai a buk a, thil bang hiam a ngen a.

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.

²¹Huan aman a kiang ah, Bang ahia na deih? A chi a. Huan, aman, Hiai ka tapate nih na gamah, na taklam ah khat, na veilam ah khat a tut theihna ding un thu pia in, a chi a.

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.

²²Jesu'n bel, na nget theilou hi uteh. Ka nou dawn ding na dawn thei ua hia? a chi a, a dawng a. Amau a kiang ah, Thei e, a chi ua.

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.

²³Aman a kiang uah, Ka nou tuh na dawn ngei ding ua; himahleh ka taklam leh ka veilam a tut ding thu jaw kei piak ding a hikei, ka Pa bawlsakte a ding ahi zo ding, a chi a.

²⁴And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.

²⁴Huan, sawmte'n tuh huai a na jak un unau nihte tungah a hehta ua.

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.

²⁵Jesu'n bel amaute a sam a, Jentelte vaihawmte tuh a tunguah a lal mahmah ua, a mi liante un a tunguah thu a nei mahmah lai uh chih leng na thei uh.

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

²⁶Himahleh, nou lak ah jaw huchi a hikei ding; kuapeuh na lak ua mi lian hih ut tuh na nasem un a om zo ding ahi;

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

²⁷kuapeuh na lak ua masapen hih ut tuh na nasem un a omlai ding ahi;

²⁸even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

²⁸Mihing Tapa nasepsak a om ding in a hongpai kei a, nasem ding leh mi tampi tatna dia a hin pe ding a hongpai ahi jaw, a chi a.

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

²⁹Huan, Jeriko khua a kipan a pawt lai un mipi tampi tak in amah a jui ua.

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.

³⁰Huan, ngaidih, mittaw nih lam gei a tute'n Jesu a pai chih a jak tak un, TOUPA, nang David Tapa, ka tunguah zahngai in, chi in, a kikou ua.

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.

³¹Huan, mipi'n dai ding in a tai ua; himahleh, amau tuh, Toupa, nang David Tapa, ka tunguah zahngai in, chi in, a kikou semsem ua.

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

³²Huan, Jesu a ding a, amau a sam a, Na tunguah bang chi a ka hih na ut ua? a chi a.

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

³³Amau tuh a kiang ah, Mit vak ka ut uh, a chi ua.Huchi in, Jesu'n a hehpih mahmah a, a mit uh a khoih a; huchi in, a mu thei pah ngal ua, amah tuh a juita uh.

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

³⁴Huchi in, Jesu'n a hehpih mahmah a, a mit uh a khoih a; huchi in, a mu thei pah ngal ua, amah tuh a juita uh.
