1 ¶ For the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man, the husband of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers 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 labourers for a denarius 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 idle in the marketplace

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 said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.

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 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 idle and said 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 one has hired us. He said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatever is right, that shall ye receive.

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 S o when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard said unto his steward, Call the labourers and give 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 those came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a denarius.

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 B ut when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more but they likewise received each one a denarius.

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 had received it, they murmured against the husband of the house,

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

12 s aying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

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 one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denarius?

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 that which is thine and go, for I desire to give unto this last one, 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? 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 first shall be last, and the last first; for many are called, but few are chosen.

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

17 ¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way and 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 betrayed unto the princes of the priests and unto the 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 to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify; and the third day he shall rise again.

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

20 ¶ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshipping him and desiring 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 dost thou desire? She said unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit the one on thy right hand and the other on the left 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 of the cup that I shall drink of and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 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 A nd he said unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but it shall be given to those for whom it is 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 against the two brothers.

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 princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and those that are great wield power 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 B ut it shall not be so among you, but whosoever will be great among you, let him 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 will be chief among you, let him be your slave,

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 ¶ And as they departed 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 passed by, cried out, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

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 be silent; but they cried the more, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

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 desire ye that I shall 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 T hen Jesus, having mercy on them, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received sight, and they 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.
