ylt Matthew:20:1-16
ylt@Matthew:20:1 @'For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
ylt@Matthew:20:2 @and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
ylt@Matthew:20:3 @'And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,
ylt@Matthew:20:4 @and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;
ylt@Matthew:20:5 @and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.
ylt@Matthew:20:6 @And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?
ylt@Matthew:20:7 @they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.
ylt@Matthew:20:8 @'And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last -- unto the first.
ylt@Matthew:20:9 @And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.
ylt@Matthew:20:10 @'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,
ylt@Matthew:20:11 @and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,
ylt@Matthew:20:12 @that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat.
ylt@Matthew:20:13 @'And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?
ylt@Matthew:20:14 @take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;
ylt@Matthew:20:15 @is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?
ylt@Matthew:20:16 @So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'
