Matthew 20

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

Men ki jan sa ye nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la: Se tankou yon mèt jaden rezen ki soti granmaten al chache moun vin travay nan jaden rezen l' lan.

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Li antann ak yo pou l' ba yo sa yo peye pou yon jounen travay. Li voye yo al travay nan jaden rezen an.

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

Li soti ankò vè nevè nan maten, li wè kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe sou plas la san yo p'ap fè anyen.

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

Li di yo: Nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan, m'a peye nou pou sa n'a fè.

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

Epi y al travay nan jaden an. Apre sa, mèt jaden an soti ankò vè midi, ak yon lòt fwa ankò vè twazè nan apremidi, li fè menm bagay la.

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

Li te vè senkè nan apremidi lè li soti ankò. Li jwenn kèk lòt moun ki te kanpe la sou plas la, li di yo: Poukisa nou rete tout jounen an la san fè anyen konsa?

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

Yo reponn li: Se paske pesonn pa ban nou travay. Mèt la di yo: Enben, nou menm tou, nou mèt al travay nan jaden rezen m' lan.

So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

Lè solèy fin kouche, mèt jaden an di jeran l' lan: Rele travayè yo, peye yo lajan yo. Kòmanse ak sa ki te vin an dènye yo pou fini ak premye yo.

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

Mesye ki te antre nan travay vè senkè nan apremidi yo vini, yo chak yo resevwa lajan yon jounen travay.

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

Lè mesye ki te la depi granmaten yo vin rive, yo te kwè yo tapral resevwa plis. Men, yo chak resevwa lajan yon jounen travay tou.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

Lè yo resevwa lajan an, yo tonbe bougonnen sou do mèt jaden an.

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Yo di konsa: Moun sa yo vin an dènye, yo travay yon sèl ti moman, epi ou peye yo menm lajan ak nou ki fatige kò n' travay tout jounen an anba chalè solèy la.

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

Mèt la reponn yonn nan yo: Zanmi, mwen pa fè ou okenn lenjistis. Nou te antann pou yon pri, pa vre?

Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

Enben, pran lajan ou, al fè wout ou. Se mwen menm ki vle bay moun ki vin an dènye yo menm lajan avè ou.

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

Eske m' pa gen dwa fè sa m' vle ak lajan mwen? Osinon, èske sa fè ou mal si m' gen bon kè?

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Apre sa, Jezi di yo ankò: Se konsa moun ki dèyè yo va pran devan, moun ki devan yo va rete dèyè nèt.

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

Apre sa, Jezi t'ap moute Jerizalèm. Antan li t'ap mache sou wout la, li pran douz disip li yo apa, li di yo:

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

Tande. Men n'ap moute Jerizalèm kote yo pral lage m', mwen menm Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, nan men chèf prèt yo ansanm ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Yo pral kondannen m' amò,

And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

y'ap lage m' bay moun lòt nasyon yo. Etranje sa yo pral pase m' nan rizib, yo pral bat mwen ak kout fwèt, apre sa yo pral kloure m' sou yon kwa. Men, sou twa jou, m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

Lè sa a, manman pitit Zebede yo pwoche bò kote Jezi ak pitit li yo. Li bese tèt li byen ba devan Jezi pou mande l' yon favè.

And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith 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.

Jezi di li: Kisa ou vle? Madanm lan reponn: Men de pitit mwen yo. Bay lòd pou yo chita, yonn sou bò dwat ou, lòt la sou bò gòch ou, lè ou va wa.

But 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.

Jezi reponn li? Nou pa konnen sa n'ap mande la a. Eske nou kapab bwè nan menm gode doulè mwen gen pou m' bwè a? Yo di li: Nou kapab.

And he saith 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 them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Jezi reponn yo: Se vre. n'a bwè nan gode m' lan. Men, kanta pou chita sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch mwen an, se pa mwen ki bay sa. Plas sa yo, Papa m' rezève yo pou moun li vle.

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

Lè dis lòt disip yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke fache sou de frè yo.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

Jezi rele yo, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan chèf nasyon yo trete pèp la tankou esklav. Grannèg yo renmen fè moun santi jan yo gen pouvwa.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

Men, se pa konsa pou sa fèt nan mitan nou. Okontrè, si yonn nan nou ta vle vin grannèg, se pou l' sèvi nou tout.

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

Si yonn nan nou ta vle chèf, se pou l' esklav nou tout.

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

Se konsa, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa vini pou moun rann mwen sèvis, men mwen vini pou m' rann moun sèvis. Wi, mwen vin bay lavi m' pou peye delivrans anpil moun.

And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

Antan yo t'ap soti lavil Jeriko, yon gwo foul moun pran swiv Jezi.

And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

Te gen de avèg chita bò chemen an. Yo annik tande se Jezi ki t'ap pase, yo pran rele: Mèt, pitit David la, pitye pou nou.

And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

Moun yo t'ap kouri dèyè yo pou fè yo pe bouch yo. Men, yo t'ap rele pi rèd: Mèt, pitit David la, gen pitye pou nou!

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

Jezi rete, li rele avèg yo, li mande yo: Kisa nou vle m' fè pou nou?

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

Yo di li: Mèt, fè nou wè nan je nou ankò.

So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Kè Jezi fè l' mal pou yo, li manyen je yo. Menm lè a de mesye yo wè, epi yo swiv Jezi.
