New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 20 1 | "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. | The Workers in the Vineyard Mt.20.1-16 (Borders of Samaria) | Ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὁστις ἐξῆλθεν ἀμα πρωῒ μισθώσασθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ· |
|
| 2 | After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. | | συμφωνήσας δὲ μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 3 | And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; | | καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὡραν εἶδεν ἀλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς· |
|
| 4 | and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. | | καὶ ἐκείνοις εἶπεν, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν. |
|
| 5 | Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. | | οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον. πάλιν δὲ ἐξελθὼν περὶ ἑκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὡραν ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως. |
|
| 6 | And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' | | περὶ δὲ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ἐξελθὼν εὗρεν ἀλλους ἑστῶτας, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Τί ὧδε ἑστήκατε ὁλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί; |
|
| 7 | They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' | | λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο. λέγει αὐτοῖς, Ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα. |
|
| 8 | And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' | | ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ, Κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας καὶ ἀπόδος αὐτοῖς τὸν μισθὸν ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἑως τῶν πρώτων. |
|
| 9 | And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. | | καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὡραν ἐλαβον ἀνὰ δηνάριον. |
|
| 10 | Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. | | καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ πρῶτοι ἐνόμισαν ὅτι πλεῖον λήμψονται· καὶ ἐλαβον τὸ ἀνὰ δηνάριον καὶ αὐτοί. |
|
| 11 | And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, | | λαβόντες δὲ ἐγόγγυζον κατὰ τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου |
|
| 12 | saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' | | λέγοντες, Οὗτοι οἱ ἐσχατοι μίαν ὡραν ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἰσους ἡμῖν αὐτοὺς ἐποίησας τοῖς βαστάσασι τὸ βάρος τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ τὸν καύσωνα. |
|
| 13 | But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? | | ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, Ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε· οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοὶ; |
|
| 14 | Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. | | ἆρον τὸ σὸν καὶ ὑπαγε· θέλω δὲ τούτῳ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δοῦναι ὡς καὶ σοί. |
|
| 15 | Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' | | ἢ οὐκ ἐξεστίν μοι ὃ θέλω ποιῆσαι ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς; ἢ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου πονηρός ἐστιν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἀγαθός εἰμὶ; |
|
| 16 | So the last will be first, and the first last." | | Οὑτως ἐσονται οἱ ἐσχατοι πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι ἐσχατοι. |
