1 F or 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Ka 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.

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

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

6 A nd about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

I 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?

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

Ka 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.

8 A nd 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.

A, 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.

9 A nd when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.

A, 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.

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

Ka 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.

11 A nd when they received it, they murmured against the householder,

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

12 s aying, 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.

Ka 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.

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

A 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?

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

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

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

Ehara 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?

16 S o the last shall be first, and the first last.

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

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

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,

18 B ehold, 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,

Na 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,

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

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

20 T hen came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him.

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.

21 A nd 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.

Na 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.

22 B ut 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.

Otira 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 H e 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.

Ka 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.

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

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

25 B ut 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.

Otira 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.

26 N ot so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

E 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;

27 a nd whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:

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

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

Pera 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.

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

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

30 A nd 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.

Na 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.

31 A nd 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.

A 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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