1Simile est regnum cælorum homini patrifamilias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam.“The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard.

2Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno,Then, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day,misit eos in vineam suam.he sent them into his vineyard.

3Et egressus circa horam tertiam,And going out about the third hour,vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos,he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

4et dixit illis:And he said to them,Ite‘You may go into my vineyard,et vos in vineam meam,too,et quod justum fuerit dabo vobis.and what I will give you will be just.’

5Illi autem abierunt.So they went forth. But again,Iterum autem exiit circa sextam et nonam horam:he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour,et fecit similiter.and he acted similarly.

6Circa undecimam vero exiit,Yet truly, about the eleventh hour,et invenit alios stantes,he went out and found others standing,et dicit illis:and he said to them,Quid hic statis tota die otiosi?‘Why have you stood here idle all day?’

7Dicunt ei:They say to him,Quia nemo nos conduxit.‘Because no one has hired us.’Dicit illis:He said to them,Ite et vos in vineam meam.‘You also may go into my vineyard.’

8Cum sero autem factum esset,And when evening had arrived,dicit dominus vineæ procuratori suo: Voca operarios,the lord of the vineyard said to his manager,et redde illis mercedem incipiens a novissimis usque ad primos.‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last, even to the first.’

9Cum venissent ergo qui circa undecimam horam venerant,And so, when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward,acceperunt singulos denarios.each received a single denarius.

10Venientes autemThen when the first ones also came forward,et primi,they considered that they would receive more.arbitrati sunt quod plus essent accepturi:But they,acceperunt autemtoo,et ipsi singulos denarios.received one denarius.

11Et accipientes murmurabant adversus patremfamilias,And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family,

12dicentes:saying,Hi novissimi una hora fecerunt,‘These last have worked for one hour,et pares illos nobis fecisti,and you have made them equal to us,qui portavimus pondus diei,who worked bearing the weightet æstus.and heat of the day.’

13At ille respondens uni eorum,But responding to one of them,dixit:he said:Amice,‘Friend,non facio tibi injuriam:I caused you no injury.nonne ex denario convenisti mecum?Did you not agree with me to one denarius?

14Tolle quod tuum est,Take what is yours and go.et vade:But it is my will to give to this last,volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi.just as to you.

15Aut non licet mihi quod volo, facere?And is it not lawful for me to do what I will?an oculus tuus nequam est, quia ego bonus sum?Or is your eye wicked because I am good?’

16Sic erunt novissimi primi,So then, the last shall be first,et primi novissimi. Multi enim sunt vocati,and the first shall be last. For many are called,pauci vero electi.but few are chosen.”

17Et ascendens Jesus Jerosolymam,And Jesus,assumpsit duodecim discipulos secreto,ascending to Jerusalem,et ait illis:took the twelve disciples aside in private and said to them:

18Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam,“Behold,et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum,we are ascending to Jerusalem,et scribis,and the Son of man shall be handed over to the leaders of the priests and to the scribes.et condemnabunt eum morte,And they shall condemn him to death.

19et tradent eum gentibus ad illudendum, et flagellandum,And they shall hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified.et crucifigendum,And on the third day,et tertia die resurget.he shall rise again.”

20Tunc accessit ad eum mater filiorum Zebedæi cum filiis suis,Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached him, with her sons, adoring him,adorans et petens aliquid ab eo.and petitioning something from him.

21Qui dixit ei:And he said to her,Quid vis? Ait illi:“What do you want?”Dic ut sedeant hi duo filii mei,She said to him, “Declare that these, my two sons,unus ad dexteram tuam,may sit, one at your right hand,et unus ad sinistram in regno tuo.and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”

22Respondens autem Jesus,But Jesus, responding, said:dixit: Nescitis quid petatis.“You do not know what you are asking.Potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibiturus sum?Are you able to drink from the chalice, from which I will drink?”Dicunt ei:They said to him,Possumus.“We are able.”

23Ait illis:He said to them:Calicem quidem meum bibetis:“From my chalice, indeed, you shall drink.sedere autem ad dexteram meam vel sinistram non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est a Patre meo.But to sit at my right or my left is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

24Et audientes decem,And the ten, upon hearing this,indignati sunt de duobus fratribus.became indignant with the two brothers.

25Jesus autem vocavit eos ad se,But Jesus called them to himself and said:et ait: Scitis quia principes gentium dominantur eorum:“You know that the first ones among the Gentiles are their rulers,et qui majores sunt, potestatem exercent in eos.and that those who are greater exercise power among them.

26Non ita erit inter vos:It shall not be this way among you.sed quicumque voluerit inter vos major fieri,But whoever will want to be greater among you,sit vester minister:let him be your minister.

27et qui voluerit inter vos primus esse,And whoever will want to be first among you,erit vester servus.he shall be your servant,

28Sicut Filius hominis non venit ministrari,even as the Son of man has not come to be served,sed ministrare,but to serve,et dare animam suam redemptionem pro multis.and to give his life as a redemption for many.”

29Et egredientibus illis ab Jericho,And as they were departing from Jericho,secuta est eum turba multa,a great crowd followed him.

30et ecce duo cæci sedentes secus viam audierunt quia Jesus transiret:And behold, two blind men, sitting by the way,et clamaverunt, dicentes:heard that Jesus was passing by; and they cried out,Domine,saying,miserere nostri,“Lord, Son of David,fili David.take pity on us.”

31Turba autem increpabat eos ut tacerent.But the crowd rebuked them to be quiet.At illi magis clamabant,But they cried out all the more,dicentes:saying,Domine,“Lord,miserere nostri,Son of David,fili David.take pity on us.”

32Et stetit Jesus,And Jesus stood still,et vocavit eos,and he called them and said,et ait:“What do you want,Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?that I might do for you?”

33Dicunt illi:They said to him,Domine,“Lord,ut aperiantur oculi nostri.that our eyes be opened.”

34Misertus autem eorum Jesus,Then Jesus, taking pity on them,tetigit oculos eorum.touched their eyes.Et confestim viderunt,And immediately they saw,et secuti sunt eum.and they followed him.
