The Thing Dem Matthew Write 20:1-34
20 “Because the Kingdom that in heaven just like one land owner. He went out soon in the morning to look for people to work on his grape farm.
2 After they agree for him to pay them one de·nar′i·us for the day, he sent them on the farm.
3 He went to the market around 9 o’clock in the morning, and he saw other people standing who not get work to do.
4 And he tell them say, ‘Yor go on the farm too and work and I will be fair when I paying yor.’
5 So they went on the farm. He went in the market again around 12 o’clock in the afternoon, and also around 3 o’clock in the afternoon and he do the same thing.
6 Then around 5 o’clock in the evening, he went in the market again and saw other people standing. And he tell them say, ‘Why yor been standing here whole day and yor not get any work to do?’
7 Then they say, ‘Because nobody na tell us to go work for them.’ Then he tell them say, ‘Yor go work on the farm too.’
8 In the evening, the farm owner call the man who taking care of the farm and say, ‘Call all the workers and start paying them. Start with the last people and end with the people who came first.’
9 When the 5 o’clock people came, he give one de·nar′i·us to each of them.
10 So when the people who work the whole day came, they thought they wor coming receive more. But he give each of them one de·nar′i·us.
11 When they got their pay, they started complaining against the land owner
12 and they say, ‘The people who came last only work for one hour, but still you give them the same amount you give us, even though we work the whole day under the hot sun!’
13 But he tell one of them say, ‘My man, I not do anything bad to you. Ehn you agree to work for one de·nar′i·us?
14 Take your money and go, I want give the last people the same pay I give you.
15 I not get the right to do what I want do with my own money? Or you jealous because I good?’
16 That the same way, the people who came last will be the first, and the people who came first will be the last.”
17 When they wor on the road going to Jerusalem, Jesus call the 12 disciples on the side and tell them say:
18 “Yor listen! We going to Jerusalem and that there they will give the Son of man to the chief priests and the scribes. They will judge him and say they must kill him,
19 and they will give him to people who not serving God to make fun out of him and flog him, and nail him on the stake. And on the third day, God will bring him back to life.”
20 Then Zeb′e·dee wife came to him with her two sons, and she kneel down in front of him to ask him for something.
21 He ask her: “What you want?” She tell him say: “Promise me that my two children will sit down near you in your Kingdom. One on your right hand side and the other on your left hand side.”
22 Jesus say: “Yor not know what yor asking for. Yor able to drink from the cup I coming drink from?” They tell him say: “Yes, we able.”
23 He tell them say: “For sure yor will drink from my cup, but that not me can say who must sit down on my right or on my left. Because it for the people who my Father na choose.”
24 When the other ten disciples hear about what happen, they got vex with James and John bad way.
25 But Jesus call his disciples to him and say: “Yor know that the ruler dem in the world like to act like boss men over the people, and the big-big people like to show that they get power over the people.
26 But that not how it must be among yor. Anybody who want be important among yor must be the servant.
27 And anybody who want be the first among yor must be your slave.
28 Just how the Son of man not come for people to serve him, but for him to serve other people, and to give his life* as ransom to free plenty people.”
29 When they wor leaving from Jer′i·cho, plenty people follow him.
30 And two blind men wor sitting down side the road. They hear that Jesus wor passing, so they started shouting: “Lord, David Son, feel sorry for us!”
31 But the people started talking to them and telling them to close their mouth, but that the more they wor shouting: “Lord, David Son, feel sorry for us!”
32 So Jesus stop, he call them and ask: “Wetin yor want me to do for yor?”
33 They tell him say: “Lord, make us to see again.”
34 Jesus started feeling sorry for them, so he touch their eyeballs, and right away they started seeing again, and they follow him.
