*
Like for is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a householder ,
who went out with morning to hire laborers into the vineyard of him .
*
Having agreed and with the laborers for a denarius the day ,
he sent him into the vineyard of him .
*
And going out about third hour ,
he saw others standing in the market
place idle ;
*
and to them he said :
Go and you into the vineyard ;
and whatever may be just ,
I will give you .
They and went away .
*
Again going out about sixth and ninth hour ,
he did in like manner .
*
About and the eleventh hour going out ,
he found others standing ,
and he says to them :
Why here stood you all the day idle ?
*
They say to him :
Because no one us hired .
He says to them :
Go also you into the vineyard ;
and whatever maybe just ,
you shall receive .
*
Evening and having come on ,
says the lord of the vineyard to the steward of him :
Call the laborers ,
and give to them the hire ,
beginning from the last ,
till the first .
*
And having come those about the eleventh hour ,
received each a denarius .
*
Having then those first ,
supposed ,
that more they shall receive ;
and received also they each a denarius .
*
Having received but they murmured against the householder ,
*
saying :
That these the last one hour worked ,
and equal to us them thou hast made ,
to the having endured the burden of the day ,
and the burning heat .
*
He but answering said to one of them :
Friend ,
not I wrong thee ;
not of a denarius didst thou agree to me ?
*
Take thee thine and go ,
I wish and to this the last to give as also of thee .
*
Or not is it lawful to me to do what I will with the my own ?
or the eye of thee evil is ,
because I good am ?
*
Thus shall be the last ,
first ;
and the first ,
last .
Many for are called ,
few but chosen .
