Oziọma Nsọ dị ka Matiu si kwuo 20: 1-16

20:1 “The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard.
20:2 Mgbe ahụ, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
20:4 Ọ si ha, ‘You may go into my vineyard, kwa, and what I will give you will be just.’
20:5 So they went forth. But again, he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and he acted similarly.
20:6 Ma n'ezie, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, Ọ si ha, ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?'
20:7 They say to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also may go into my vineyard.’
20:8 Ma mgbe mgbede rutere, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last, even to the first.’
20:9 Ya mere, when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward, each received a single denarius.
20:10 Then when the first ones also came forward, they considered that they would receive more. Ma ha, kwa, received one denarius.
20:11 And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family,
20:12 na-ekwu, ‘These last have worked for one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who worked bearing the weight and heat of the day.’
20:13 But responding to one of them, o kwuru: ‘Friend, I caused you no injury. Did you not agree with me to one denarius?
20:14 Take what is yours and go. But it is my will to give to this last, just as to you.
20:15 And is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Or is your eye wicked because I am good?'
20:16 Ya mere, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
