Uthenga

Uthenga Wopatulika Malinga ndi Mateyu 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 Ndiye, 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 Ndipo adati kwa iwo, ‘You may go into my vineyard, nawonso, 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 Komabe moona, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, ndipo adati kwa iwo, ‘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 And when evening had arrived, 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 Ndipo kenako, 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. Koma iwo, nawonso, received one denarius.
20:11 And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family,
20:12 kunena, ‘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, adatero: ‘Bwenzi, 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 Ndiye ndiye, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
