¹Lebo nebeské kráľovstvo je podobné človeku-hospodárovi, ktorý vyšiel skoro ráno najať si robotníkov do svojej vinice.

¹ “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

²A zjednajúc sa s robotníkmi, že im dá po denáre na deň, poslal ich do svojej vinice.

² When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius A denarius is a silver Roman coin worth 1/25th of a Roman aureus. This was a common wage for a day of farm labor. a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

³A keď vyšiel okolo tretej hodiny, videl iných stáť na trhu a zaháľať.

³ He went out about the third hour, Time was measured from sunrise to sunset, so the third hour would be about 9:00 AM. and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

⁴Aj tým povedal: Iďte aj vy do vinice, a čo bude spravedlivé, dám vám. A oni odišli.

⁴ To them he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

⁵Opät vyšiel okolo šiestej a deviatej hodiny a urobil to isté.

⁵ Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, noon and 3:00 P. M. and did likewise.

⁶Potom vyjdúc okolo jedonástej hodiny našiel iných stáť a zaháľať a povedal im: Čo tu stojíte celý deň a zaháľate?

⁶ About the eleventh hour 5:00 PM he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

⁷Povedali mu: Pretože nás nikto nenajal. A on im povedal: Iďte aj vy do vinice, a čo bude spravedlivé, dostanete.

⁷ “They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ “He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.’

⁸A keď bol večer povedal pán vinice svojmu správcovi: Zavolaj robotníkov a zaplať im počnúc od posledných až po prvých.

⁸ When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’

⁹A keď prišli tí okolo jedonástej hodiny najatí, dostali po denáre.

⁹ “When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.

¹⁰A keď potom prišli tí prví, domnievali sa, že dostanú viacej, ale aj oni dostali po denáre.

¹⁰ When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

¹¹A keď vzali, reptali proti hospodárovi

¹¹ When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

¹²a hovorili: Títo poslední pracovali jednu hodinu, a učinil si ich rovných nám, ktorí sme niesli bremeno dňa a páľu slnca.

¹² saying, ‘These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!’

¹³Ale on odpovedal a riekol jednému z nich: Priateľu, nekrivdím ti; či si sa nezjednal so mnou za denár?

¹³ “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?

¹⁴Vezmi, čo je tvoje, a idi! A chcem tomuto poslednému dať ako i tebe.

¹⁴ Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.

¹⁵Alebo či nemám práva urobiť so svojím, čo chcem? Alebo či je tvoje oko zlé, že ja som dobrý?

¹⁵ Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’

¹⁶Tak budú poslední prví a prví poslední; lebo mnoho je povolaných, ale málo vyvolených.

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

¹⁷A keď išiel Ježiš hore do Jeruzalema, pojal tých dvanástich učeníkov osobitne na ceste a povedal im:

¹⁷As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

¹⁸Hľa, ideme hore do Jeruzalema, a Syn človeka bude vydaný najvyšším kňazom a zákonníkom, a odsúdia ho na smrť

¹⁸ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

¹⁹a vydajú ho pohanom, aby sa mu naposmievali, aby ho zbičovali a ukrižovali, ale na tretí deň vstane z mŕtvych.

¹⁹ and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

²⁰Vtedy pristúpila k nemu matka synov Zebedeových so svojimi synmi, klaňala sa mu a prosila čosi od neho.

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

²¹A on jej povedal: Čo chceš? A riekla mu: Povedz, aby títo moji dvaja synovia sedeli jeden po tvojom pravom a druhý po tvojom ľavom boku v tvojom kráľovstve.

²¹He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

²²A Ježiš odpovedal a riekol: Neviete, čo si prosíte. Či môžete piť kalich, ktorý mám ja piť, a pokrstiť sa krstom, ktorým sa ja krstím? Povedali mu: Môžeme.

²²But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

²³A on im povedal: Môj kalich pravda piť budete, i krstom, ktorým sa ja krstím, pokrstení budete; ale dať sedieť po mojom pravom a po mojom ľavom boku nie je mojou vecou, ale to bude dané tým, ktorým je to pripravené od môjho Otca.

²³He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

²⁴A keď to počuli tí desiati, nahnevali sa na tých dvoch bratov.

²⁴When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.

²⁵Ale Ježiš privolajúc si povedal: Viete, že kniežatá národov panujú nad nimi, a velikí medzi nimi prevádzajú nad nimi moc.

²⁵But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

²⁶Nie tak bude medzi vami, ale ktokoľvek by chcel byť medzi vami velikým, bude vaším služobníkom;

²⁶ It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be TR reads “let him be” instead of “shall be” your servant.

²⁷a ktokoľvek by chcel byť medzi vami prvým, bude vaším sluhom,

²⁷ Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,

²⁸ako ani Syn človeka neprišiel, aby mu slúžili, ale aby slúžil a dal svoj život ako výkupné za mnohých.

²⁸ even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

²⁹A keď vychádzali z Jericha, išiel za ním veliký zástup.

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

³⁰A hľa, sedeli tam pri ceste dvaja slepí, ktorí, keď počuli, že tade ide Ježiš, kričali a hovorili: Pane, zmiluj sa nad nami, Synu Dávidov!

³⁰Behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

³¹Ale zástup im dohováral a vravel, aby mlčali, no, oni ešte väčšmi kričali a hovorili: Zmiluj sa nad nami, Pane, Synu Dávidov!

³¹The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, “Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!”

³²A Ježiš postál, zavolal ich a povedal: Čo chcete, aby som vám učinil?

³²Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”

³³A oni mu povedali: Pane, že by sa otvorily naše oči.

³³They told him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

³⁴A Ježiš, súc pohnutý ľútosťou, dotknul sa ich očí, a hneď prezreli a išli za ním.

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