Matthew 20

Διοτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων ειναι ομοια με ανθρωπον οικοδεσποτην, οστις εξηλθεν αμα τω πρωι δια να μισθωση εργατας δια τον αμπελωνα αυτου.

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.

Αφου δε συνεφωνησε μετα των εργατων προς εν δηναριον την ημεραν, απεστειλεν αυτους εις τον αμπελωνα αυτου.

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

Και εξελθων περι την τριτην ωραν, ειδεν αλλους ισταμενους εν τη αγορα αργους,

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

και προς εκεινους ειπεν Υπαγετε και σεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο, τι ειναι δικαιον θελω σας δωσει. Και εκεινοι υπηγον.

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

Παλιν εξελθων περι την εκτην και ενατην ωραν, εκαμεν ωσαυτως.

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

Περι δε την ενδεκατην ωραν εξελθων ευρεν αλλους ισταμενους αργους, και λεγει προς αυτους Δια τι ιστασθε εδω ολην την ημεραν αργοι;

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?

Λεγουσι προς αυτον Διοτι ουδεις εμισθωσεν ημας. Λεγει προς αυτους Υπαγετε και σεις εις τον αμπελωνα, και ο, τι ειναι δικαιον θελετε λαβει.

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.

Αφου δε εγεινεν εσπερα, λεγει ο κυριος του αμπελωνος προς τον επιτροπον αυτου Καλεσον τους εργατας και αποδος εις αυτους τον μισθον, αρχισας απο των εσχατων εως των πρωτων.

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.

Και ελθοντες οι περι την ενδεκατην ωραν μισθωθεντες, ελαβον ανα εν δηναριον.

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

Ελθοντες δε οι πρωτοι, ενομισαν οτι θελουσι λαβει πλειοτερα, ελαβον ομως και αυτοι ανα εν δηναριον.

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

Και λαβοντες εγογγυζον κατα του οικοδεσποτου,

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

λεγοντες οτι, Ουτοι οι εσχατοι μιαν ωραν εκαμον, και εκαμες αυτους ισους με ημας, οιτινες εβαστασαμεν το βαρος της ημερας και τον καυσωνα.

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.

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς ενα εξ αυτων Φιλε, δεν σε αδικω δεν συνεφωνησας εν δηναριον μετ εμου;

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

λαβε το σον και υπαγε θελω δε να δωσω εις τουτον τον εσχατον ως και εις σε.

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

Η δεν εχω την εξουσιαν να καμω ο, τι θελω εις τα εμα; η ο οφθαλμος σου ειναι πονηρος διοτι εγω ειμαι αγαθος;

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

Ουτω θελουσιν εισθαι οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι διοτι πολλοι ειναι οι κεκλημενοι, ολιγοι δε οι εκλεκτοι.

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

Και αναβαινων ο Ιησους εις Ιεροσολυμα, παρελαβε τους δωδεκα μαθητας κατ ιδιαν εν τη οδω και ειπε προς αυτους.

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

Ιδου, αναβαινομεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου θελει παραδοθη εις τους αρχιερεις και γραμματεις και θελουσι καταδικασει αυτον εις θανατον,

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,

και θελουσι παραδωσει αυτον εις τα εθνη δια να εμπαιξωσι και μαστιγωσωσι και σταυρωσωσι, και τη τριτη ημερα θελει αναστηθη.

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

Τοτε προσηλθε προς αυτον η μητηρ των υιων του Ζεβεδαιου μετα των υιων αυτης, προσκυνουσα και ζητουσα τι παρ αυτου.

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

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην Τι θελεις; Λεγει προς αυτον Ειπε να καθησωσιν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι μου εις εκ δεξιων σου και εις εξ αριστερων εν τη βασιλεια σου.

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.

Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπε Δεν εξευρετε τι ζητειτε. Δυνασθε να πιητε το ποτηριον, το οποιον εγω μελλω να πιω, και να βαπτισθητε το βαπτισμα, το οποιον εγω βαπτιζομαι; Λεγουσι προς αυτον Δυναμεθα.

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.

Και λεγει προς αυτους το μεν ποτηριον μου θελετε πιει; και το βαπτισμα το οποιον εγω βαπτιζομαι θελετε βαπτισθη το να καθησητε ομως εκ δεξιων μου και εξ αριστερων μου δεν ειναι εμου να δωσω, ειμη εις οσους ειναι ητοιμασμενον υπο του Πατρος μου.

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.

Και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηγανακτησαν περι των δυο αδελφων.

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

Ο δε Ιησους προσκαλεσας αυτους, ειπεν Εξευρετε οτι οι αρχοντες των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτα και οι μεγαλοι κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτα.

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.

Ουτως ομως δεν θελει εισθαι εν υμιν, αλλ οστις θελει να γεινη μεγας εν υμιν, ας ηναι υπηρετης υμων,

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

και οστις θελη να ηναι πρωτος εν υμιν, ας ηναι δουλος υμων

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

καθως ο Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν ηλθε δια να υπηρετηθη, αλλα δια να υπηρετηση και να δωση την ζωην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων.

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

Και ενω εξηρχοντο απο της Ιεριχω, ηκολουθησεν αυτον οχλος πολυς.

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

Και ιδου, δυο τυφλοι καθημενοι παρα την οδον, ακουσαντες οτι ο Ιησους διαβαινει, εκραξαν λεγοντες Ελεησον ημας, Κυριε, υιε του Δαβιδ.

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.

Ο δε οχλος επεπληξεν αυτους δια να σιωπησωσιν αλλ εκεινοι εκραζον δυνατωτερα, λεγοντες Ελεησον ημας, Κυριε, υιε του Δαβιδ.

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.

Και σταθεις ο Ιησους, εκραξεν αυτους και ειπε Τι θελετε να σας καμω;

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

Λεγουσι προς αυτον Κυριε, να ανοιχθωσιν οι οφθαλμοι ημων.

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

Και ο Ιησους σπλαγχνισθεις ηγγισε τους οφθαλμους αυτων και ευθυς ανεβλεψαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι, και ηκολουθησαν αυτον.

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