Mateyu 25
1 “Nthawi imeneyo ufumu wakumwamba udzafanizidwa ndi anamwali khumi amene anatenga nyale zawo napita kukakumana ndi mkwati.
Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
2 Asanu anali opusa ndipo asanu ena anali ochenjera.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 Opusawo anatenga nyale zawo koma sanatenge mafuta;
And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4 koma ochenjerawo anatenga mafuta awo mʼmabotolo pamodzi ndi nyale zawo.
But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
5 Mkwati anachedwa ndipo onse anayamba kusinza nagona.
And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
6 “Pakati pa usiku kunamveka kufuwula kuti, ‘Onani Mkwati! Tulukani kuti mukakumane naye!’
And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 “Pamenepo anamwali onse anadzuka nayatsa nyale zawo.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Opusawo anati kwa ochenjerawo, ‘Tipatseniko mafuta anu; nyale zathu zikuzima.’
And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out.
9 “Ochenjerawo anayankha, nati, ‘Ayi sangakwanire inu ndi ife. Pitani kwa ogulitsa mafuta ndi kukadzigulira nokha.’
The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 “Koma pamene ankapita kukagula mafutawo, mkwati anafika. Anamwali amene anali okonzeka aja analowa naye pamodzi mʼnyumba ya phwando la ukwati. Ndipo khomo linatsekedwa.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
11 “Pambuyo pake enawo anabwera nati, ‘Ambuye! Ambuye! Titsekulireni!’
And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
12 “Koma iye anayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ine ndikuwuzani kuti sindikukudziwani.’
But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
13 “Choncho khalani odikira, popeza simudziwa tsiku kapena nthawi.”
Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 “Komanso udzafanizidwa ndi munthu amene ankapita pa ulendo, ndipo anayitana antchito ake nawasiyira chuma chake.
For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
15 Wina anamupatsa ndalama 5,000, kwa wina 2,000 ndi kwa wina 1,000. Aliyense monga mwa nzeru zake. Pamenepo anapita pa ulendo wake.
to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
16 Munthu amene analandira ndalama 5,000 uja, anapita nthawi yomweyo nachita nazo malonda napindula 5,000 zina.
Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
17 Chimodzimodzinso amene analandira 2,000 uja anapindula 2,000 zina.
And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
18 Koma munthu amene analandira 1,000 uja, anapita nakumba dzenje nabisapo ndalama ya mbuye wake.
But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 “Patapita nthawi yayitali, mbuye wa antchitowo anabwera nawayitana kuti afotokoze chimene anachita ndi ndalama zija.
And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
20 Munthu amene analandira ndalama 5,000 uja anabweretsa 5,000 zina nati, ‘Ambuye munandisungitsa 5,000, taonani ndapindula 5,000 zinanso.’
And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
21 “Ambuye ake anayankha nati, ‘Wachita bwino, wantchito wabwino ndi wokhulupirika iwe! Wakhala wokhulupirika pa zinthu zochepa; ndidzakuyika iwe kukhala woyangʼanira zinthu zambiri. Bwera, udzakondwere pamodzi ndi mbuye wako!’
His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 “Munthu amene anali ndi ndalama 2,000 uja anabweranso nati, ‘Ambuye munandisungitsa 2,000, onani, ndapindula 2,000 zinanso.’
And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
23 “Mbuye wake anayankha nati, ‘Wachita bwino, wantchito wabwino ndi wokhulupirika! Wakhala wokhulupirika pa zinthu zochepa; ndidzakuyika kukhala woyangʼanira zinthu zambiri. Bwera, udzakondwere pamodzi ndi mbuye wako!’
His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord.
24 “Kenaka munthu amene analandira ndalama 1,000 uja anabwera nati, ‘Ambuye ndinadziwa kuti ndinu munthu wowuma mtima, amene mumakolola pamene simunadzale ndi kututa kumene simunafese.
And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
25 Choncho ndinachita mantha ndipo ndinapita ndi kukabisa ndalama yanuyo pa dzenje. Onani, si iyi ndalama yanu ija.’
and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
26 “Mbuye wake anayankha nati, ‘Iwe wantchito woyipa ndi waulesi! Iwe umadziwa kuti ndimakolola pamene sindinadzale, ndi kututa kumene sindinafese.
His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
27 Bwanji sunayike ndalama yanga kwa osunga ndalama kuti ine pobwera ndidzalandire ndalama yangayo pamodzi ndi chiwongoladzanja?
Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
28 “‘Mulandeni ndalamayo, ndipo patsani iye amene ali ndi ndalama 10,000.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 Pakuti aliyense amene ali nazo adzapatsidwa zambiri, ndipo adzakhala nazo zochuluka. Aliyense amene alibe adzalandidwa ngakhale chimene ali nacho.
For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
30 Ndipo muponyeni wantchito wopanda phinduyu kunja, ku mdima kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.’”
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 “Pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wake, pamodzi ndi angelo ake onse, adzakhala pa mpando waufumu mu ulemerero wakumwamba.
And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
32 Mitundu yonse ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa pamaso pake, ndipo adzawalekanitsa iwo wina ndi mnzake monga mʼbusa amalekanitsa nkhosa ndi mbuzi.
And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.
33 Adzayika nkhosa ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi mbuzi ku lamanzere.
And he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 “Pamenepo mfumu idzati kwa a ku dzanja lamanja, ‘Bwerani inu odalitsika ndi Atate anga; landirani ufumu umene unakonzedwa chifukwa cha inu kuyambira pachiyambi cha dziko.
Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Pakuti ndinali ndi njala ndipo munandipatsa chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu ndipo munandipatsa madzi akumwa, ndinali mlendo ndipo munandilandira,
For I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me home;
36 ndinali wausiwa ndipo munandiveka, ndinali wodwala ndipo munandisamalira, ndinali ku ndende ndipo inu munandiyendera.’
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
37 “Ndipo olungamawo adzamuyankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala ndipo tinakudyetsani, kapena ludzu ndipo tinakupatsani madzi akumwa?
Then will the righteous say to him: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Ndi liti tinakuonani muli mlendo ndipo tinakulandirani, kapena wa usiwa ndipo tinakuvekani?
And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee home? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Ndi liti tinakuonani mutadwala kapena ku ndende ndipo tinakuyenderani?’
And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 “Mfumu idzayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene munachitira mmodzi wa abale anga onyozekawa munandichitira Ine.’
And the king will answer, and say to them: Verily I Say to you, That inasmuch as ye did so to one of these my little brothers, ye did so to me.
41 “Pamenepo adzanena kwa akumanzere kwake kuti, ‘Chokani kwa Ine, inu otembereredwa, pitani ku moto wosatha wokonzedwera mdierekezi ndi angelo ake. (aiōnios g166)
Then will he say also to them on his left hand: Go from me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the Calumniator and his angels, (aiōnios g166)
42 Pakuti ndinali ndi njala ndipo simunandipatse chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu ndipo simunandipatse madzi akumwa,
For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food; and I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 ndinali mlendo koma inu simunandilandire, ndinali wa usiwa koma simunandiveke, ndinali wodwala komanso ku ndende simunandisamalire.’
and I was a stranger, and ye took me not home; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
44 “Iwo adzayankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala kapena ludzu kapena mlendo kapena wausiwa kapena wodwala kapena mʼndende, ndipo kuti sitinakuthandizeni?’
Then will they also answer and say: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 “Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene simunachitire mmodzi wa abale anga onyozekawa simunandichitire Ine.’
Then will he answer, and say to them: Verily I say to you, That in as much as ye did not so to one of these little ones, ye did not so to me.
