Da aber die ersten kamen, meinten sie, sie würden mehr empfangen; und sie empfingen auch ein jeglicher seinen Groschen.
Y viniendo también los primeros, pensaron que habían de recibir más; pero también ellos recibieron cada uno un denario.
Cuando llegaron los primeros, pensaron que recibirían más, pero también ellos recibieron cada uno la paga de una jornada.
Les premiers vinrent ensuite, croyant recevoir davantage; mais ils reçurent aussi chacun un denier.
Poi vennero i primi, i quali pensavano di ricever più, ma ricevettero anch’essi un denaro per uno.
Vindo, porém, os primeiros, cuidaram que haviam de receber mais; mas do mesmo modo receberam um dinheiro cada um.
那些最先雇的來了,以為可以多領,誰知也是各領一個銀幣。
