Matthew 20:1-10. ὁμοία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὅστις ἐξῆλθεν ἅμα πρωῒ μισθώσασθαι ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν
ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ: συμφωνήσας δὲ μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν
ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐξελθὼν περὶ τρίτην ὥραν
εἶδεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς: καὶ ἐκείνοις εἶπεν, ὑπάγετε
καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν ᾖ δίκαιον δώσω ὑμῖν. οἱ δὲ ἀπῆλθον.
πάλιν [δὲ] ἐξελθὼν περὶ ἕκτην καὶ ἐνάτην ὥραν ἐποίησεν ὡσαύτως. περὶ
δὲ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ἐξελθὼν εὗρεν ἄλλους ἑστῶτας, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, τί ὧδε
ἑστήκατε ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀργοί; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἡμᾶς ἐμισθώσατο.
λέγει αὐτοῖς, ὑπάγετε καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης
λέγει ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τῷ ἐπιτρόπῳ αὐτοῦ, κάλεσον τοὺς ἐργάτας
καὶ ἀπόδος αὐτοῖς τὸν μισθὸν ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐσχάτων ἕως τῶν πρώτων.
καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ περὶ τὴν ἑνδεκάτην ὥραν ἔλαβον ἀνὰ δηνάριον. καὶ ἐλθόντες
οἱ πρῶτοι ἐνόμισαν ὅτι πλεῖον λήμψονται: καὶ ἔλαβον [τὸ] ἀνὰ δηνάριον
καὶ αὐτοί. |
Matthew 20:1-10. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is
an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into
his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and
saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye
also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they
went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say
unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also
into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when
even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the
labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received
every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should
have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. |
