Original text and translations
Simile est enim regnum caelorum homini patri familias qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam
Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denario diurno misit eos in vineam suam
Et egressus circa horam tertiam vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos
Et illis dixit ite et vos in vineam et quod iustum fuerit dabo vobis
(Vulgate)
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius[a] a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' "
Matthew 20:1-4
A motet in two parts -- Part I, Mt 20:1-2 ; Part II, Mt 20:3-4
