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

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.

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

²A, no ka oti te whakarite ki nga kaimahi kia kotahi ra he pene, tonoa ana ratou e ia ki tana mara waina.

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

³A ka haere atu ia i te toru o nga haora, ka kite i etahi atu e tu mangere ana i te kainga hokohoko,

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.

⁴Ka 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.

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

⁵I haere ano ia i te ono, i te iwa o nga haora, a pera ana ano.

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

⁶I 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?

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].

⁷Ka 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.

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.

⁸A, 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.

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

⁹A, 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.

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

¹⁰Ka 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.

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

¹¹A, no ka riro i a ratou, ka amuamu ki taua rangatira whare,

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.

¹²Ka 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.

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

¹³A 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?

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

¹⁴Tangohia tau, haere: e pai ana ahau kia rite ki tau te mea e hoatu ki tenei o muri.

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

¹⁵Ehara 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?

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

¹⁶Heoi, ko o muri e meinga ki mua, ko o mua ki muri: he tokomaha hoki e karangatia, he ruarua ia e whiriwhiria.

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

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,

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;

¹⁸Na 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,

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.

¹⁹Ka tukua ia ki nga tauiwi kia tawaia, kia whiua, kia ripekatia: a i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia ake.

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

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.

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.

²¹Na 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.

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.

²²Otira 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[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.

²³Ka 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.

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

²⁴A, no ka rongo te tekau, ka riri ki aua hoa tokorua.

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.

²⁵Otira 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.

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

²⁶E 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;

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

²⁷A ki te mea tetahi kia tupu ko ia hei tino tangata i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu pononga ia ma koutou:

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

²⁸Pera 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.

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

²⁹¶ A, i a ratou e haere atu ana i Heriko, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.

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.

³⁰Na 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.

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.

³¹A 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.

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

³²Na ka tu a Ihu, ka karanga i a raua, ka mea, Kia ahatia korua e ahau?

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

³³Ka mea raua ki a ia, E te Ariki, kia kite o maua kanohi.

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

³⁴Na ka aroha a Ihu, ka pa ki o raua kanohi: a titiro tonu ake o raua kanohi, a aru ana raua i a ia.
