Context
10Hivyo wale walioajiriwa kwanza walipofika, walidhani watalipwa zaidi. Lakini kila mmoja wao pia alipokea dinari moja. 11Walipoipokea, wakaanza kulalamika dhidi ya yule mwenye shamba, 12wakisema, ‘Hawa watu walioajiriwa mwisho wamefanya kazi kwa muda wa saa moja tu, nawe umewafanya sawa na sisi ambao tumestahimili taabu na joto lote la mchana kutwa?’ 13“Yule mwenye shamba akamjibu mmoja wao, ‘Rafiki, sijakudhulumu. Je, hukukubaliana nami kwa ujira wa kawaida wa dinari moja? 14Chukua ujira wako na uende. Mimi nimeamua kumlipa huyu mtu aliyeajiriwa mwisho kama nilivyokupa wewe.
