| 1 | The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. | Simile est regnum caelorum homini patrifamilias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam. |
| 2 | And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. | Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno, misit eos in vineam suam. |
| 3 | And going about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle. | Et egressus circa horam tertiam, vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos, |
| 4 | And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just. | et dixit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam, et quod iustum fuerit dabo vobis. |
| 5 | And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner. | Illi autem abierunt. Iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam: et fecit similiter. |
| 6 | But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? | Circa undecimam vero exiit, et invenit alios stantes, et dicit illis: Quid hic statis tota die otiosi? |
| 7 | They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard. | Dicunt ei: Quia nemo nos conduxit. Dicit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam. |
| 8 | And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. | Cum sero autem factum esset, dicit dominus vineae procuratori suo: Voca operarios, et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos. |
| 9 | When therefore they were come, that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. | Cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant, acceperunt singulos denarios. |
| 10 | But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: and they also received every man a penny. | Venientes autem et primi, arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi: acceperunt autem et ipsi singulos denarios. |
| 11 | And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, | Et accipientes murmurabant adversus patremfamilias, |
| 12 | Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. | dicentes: Hi novissimi una hora fecerunt, et pares illos nobis fecisti, qui portavimus pondus diei, et aestus. |
| 13 | But he answering said to one of them: Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? | At ille respondens uni eorum, dixit: Amice, non facio tibi iniuriam: nonne ex denario convenisti mecum? |
| 14 | Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee. | Tolle quod tuum est, et vade: volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi. |
| 15 | Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I am good? | Aut non licet mihi quod volo, facere? an oculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum? |
| 16 | So shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. | Sic erunt novissimi primi, et primi novissimi. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi. |
| 17 | And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them: | Et ascendens Iesus Ierosolymam, assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto, et ait illis: |
| 18 | Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. | Ecce ascendimus Ierosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et condemnabunt eum morte, |
| 19 | And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again. | et tradent eum gentibus ad illudendum, et flagellandum, et crucifigendum, et tertia die resurget. |
| 20 | Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. | Tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedaei cum filiis suis, adorans et petens aliquid ab eo. |
| 21 | Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. | Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic ut sedeant hi duo filii mei, unus ad dexteram tuam, et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo. |
| 22 | And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. | Respondens autem Iesus, dixit: Nescitis quid petatis. Potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibiturus sum? Dicunt ei: Possumus. |
| 23 | He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. | Ait illis: Calicem quidem meum bibetis: sedere autem ad dexteram meam vel sinistram non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo. |
| 24 | And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren. | Et audientes decem, indignati sunt de duobus fratribus. |
| 25 | But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them. | Iesus autem vocavit eos ad se, et ait: Scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum: et qui maiores sunt, potestatem exercent in eos. |
| 26 | It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister: | Non ita erit inter vos: sed quicumque voluerit inter vos maior fieri, sit vester minister: |
| 27 | And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant. | et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse, erit vester servus. |
| 28 | Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many. | Sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari, sed ministrare, et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis. |
| 29 | And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. | Et egredientibus illis ab Iericho, secuta est eum turba multa, |
| 30 | And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. | et ecce duo caeci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Iesus transiret: et clamaverunt, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David. |
| 31 | And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. | Turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent. At illi magis clamabant, dicentes: Domine, miserere nostri, fili David. |
| 32 | And Jesus stood, and called them, and said: What will ye that I do to you? | Et stetit Iesus, et vocavit eos, et ait: Quid vultis ut faciam vobis? |
| 33 | They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened. | Dicunt illi: Domine, ut aperiantur oculi nostri. |
| 34 | And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw, and followed him. | Misertus autem eorum Iesus, tetigit oculos eorum. Et confestim viderunt, et secuti sunt eum. |
