Mateyo 25
1 Lino bwami bwakujulu buyokozyanisigwa abasimbi balikkumi bakabweza malampi aabo alimwi bayinka kuyochinga simusa.
“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Balimusanu baabo bakali bafubafuba alimwi balimusanu bakali basongo.
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Aawo basimbi bafubafuba nibakabweza malampi aabo, tebakabweza pe mafuta aabo.
Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 Pesi basimbi basongo bakabweza mafuta aabo muzibikilo.
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Lino simusa wakanonoka, boonse bakaguna alimwi bakoona.
Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Pesi akati kabusiku kwakamvwigwa ikongolola, Ámulange, simusa! Amuzwe aanze alimwi mukamuchinge akumutambula.
But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7 Éelyo basimbi boonse bakabuka alimwi bayasya malampi aabo.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Bafubafuba bakaamba kuti kubasongo, 'mutwabile amwi mafuta aanu nkambo malampi esu azima.'
The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 'Pesi bo basongo bakasandula kuti, 'mbokunga takotukwanina swebo andinywe, amwinke kuli baabo basambala alimwi mukalyulile eenu nobeni.
But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
10 Áawo nubakachili kukuyowula, simusa wakasika, alimwi aabo bakalibambilide bakayinka aawe kupobwe, alimwi imulyango wakajalwa.
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
11 “Kumane boobu bamwi basimbi abalabo bakaboola alimwi baamba kuti, “Simalelo wesu, Simalelo wesu, tujulile.'
Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
12 “Pesi wakabasandula alimwi wakati, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, tandimuzi pe.
But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 Nkinkaako amuchenjele, nkambo tamulizi izuba nikuba ichindi.
Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
14 “Zyakozyania amwalumi wakali afwifwi akuya munyika iimbi. Wakayita balanda bakwe alimwi wabaabila buvubi bwakwe.
“For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
15 Umwi wakamupa matalenta alimusanu, mpawo umwi wakamupa aabili, alimwi umbi lubo wakamupa limwi talenta. Umwi awumwi wakatambula eecho chendelana ambuli mbakonzya, mpawo mwalumi ooyo wakeenda mulweendo lwakwe.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 Ooyo wakatambula matalenta alimusanu wakeenda wakubuka akwabelesya mpawo wakabbindawuka ambi alimusanu.
Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 Mbuboobo, oyo wakatambwide aabili alakwe wakabbindawuka wajana aambi aabili.
In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
18 Pesi oyo mulanda wakalalimwi wakeenda, wakusya kkomba mulubuwa, alimwi wakasisa mamali asimalelaakwe.
But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
19 Lino mumazuba simalelo wabalanda aaba boonse wakaboola wazolangalanga myeelwe yabuvubi antomwe ambabo balanda bakwe.
“Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
20 Mulanda oyo wakatambwide matalenta alimusanu wakaboola alimwi weeta aambi alimusanu. Wakamba kuti, 'Simalelo wangu, Langa, ndakakubbindawuka aambi alimusanu.
He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’
21 “Simalelaakwe wakati kulinguwe, 'wakachita kabotu, iwe nomulanda mubotu alimwi usyomeka! Walikusyomeka muzintu ziche. Ndiyokubika kuti ukeendelezye zintu zyiingi. Njila mubusekelezi bwasimalelaako.'
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
22 “Ooyo mulanda wakatambwide matalenta aabili wakaboola waamba kuti, 'Simalelo wangu, wakandipa matallenta aabili. Langa, ndakabbindawuka aambi abili lubo.
“He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’
23 “Simalelo wakwe wakati kuli nguwe, 'wakachita kabotu, iwe numulanda mubotu alimwi usyomeka! Walikusyomeka muzintu ziche. Ndiyokubika kuti ukeendelezye zintu zyiingi. Njila mubusekelezi bwasimalelo wako.'
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24 “Eelyo oyo mulanda wakatambwide talenta lyomwe wakasika alakwe wati, 'Simalelo wangu, ndilikwizi kuti ulimwalumi ukalala. Ulatebula mpotabyalide, alimwi ulatebula mpotakwe niwamwaya.
“He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.
25 Ndakayoowa, lino ndakeenda mpawo ndakusiisa talenta munyika. Langa ndeeli lyako ndabozya.
I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
26 “Pesi Simalelaakwe wakamusandula wati kulinguwe, Íwe nomulanda mubi alimwi mutolo, wakaziba kuti ndilatebula aawo mpondatabyalape alimwi ndilatebula aawo mponditamwayide pe.
“But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.
27 Nkiinkaako wakeelede kupa mamali kulibasikulondola, alimwi kukuyobola kwangu ndakati kunobweza aangu antoomwe ayaayo alikunozyalwa.
You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
28 Nkiinkako amumubwezele talenta alimwi mulipe ooyo mulanda ulamatalenta alikkumi.
Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 Mpawo kuli umwi awumwi weeta zyiingi uyopegwa, alimwi uyooba azyiingi. Pesi kuliyooyo utayeti chintu, uyonyanzigwa nikuba eecho nchajisi.
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.
30 Mumubwale mumudima ooyo mulanda utakwe anchabede, omo mulikulila alimwi akuluma ntwino.'
Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31 “Eelyo Mwana a Muntu nayoboola mubulemu alimwi abaangelo bakwe boonse, uyokkala achuuno chakwe chabulemu.
“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 Kuyobunganisigwa misyobo yoonse, alimwi uyopambula bantu umwi akulumwi, mbuli mwembeli mbwapambula imbelele kuzwa kumpongo.
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 Uyobika mbelele kuchilisyo chakwe, pesi mpongo kuchimweensi chakwe.
He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Eelyo Mwami uyowamba kuli zeezyo zitanoli kuchilisyo kuti, 'Muze, inywe nimulongezezegwe a Taata, amujane bwami oobo mbumwakabambilidwe kuzwa kumatalikilo anyika.
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Nkaambo ndakali enzala alimwi mwakandipa chakulya.' ndakali enyota alimwi mwakandipa chakunywa.' ndakali mwenzu alimwi mwakandinjizya mungánda.'
for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.
36 ndakali chintanda alimwi mwakandisamika.' ndakali kuchiswa alimwi mwakandisilika.' ndakali mujele alimwi mwakandiswaya.'
I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
37 Éelyo baluleme bayosandula alimwi kabati, 'Mwami, ndilili nitwakakubona koli enzala alimwi twakakusanina? Nikuba nyota alimwi twakakupa meenda?
“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
38 Ndilili nitwakakubona koli mwenzu alimwi twakakutambula akukunjizya? Nikuba chintaanda alimwi twakakusamika?
When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
39 Alimwi ndilili nitwakakubona kochiswa nikuba muntolongo alimwi twasika kulinduwe?'
When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
40 “Eelyo Mwami uyosandula alimwi uyoti kuli mbaabo, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakachitila kumunini wabakwesu, mwakazichitila ndime.'
“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
41 Eelyo uyoti kuli baabo batanoli kuchimweensi chakwe, 'Muzwe kuli ndime, inywe nimutukidwe, munjile mumulilo utamani ooyo ubambilidwe Satani abaangelo bakwe, (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
42 nkambo ndakali enzala, pesi temwakandipa pe chakulya; ndakali enyota, pesi temwakandipa pe meenda;
for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43 ndakali mweenzu, pesi temwakandinjizizye pe mungánda; ndakali chintanda, pesi temwakandisamika pe; ndakali kuchiswa alimwi nikuba nindakali muntolongo, pesi takwepe nchimwakayeeya andime.'
I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 “Mpawo abalabo bayosandula alimwi kabati, 'Mwami ndilili nitwakakubona koli enzala, nikuba nyota, nikuba koli mwenzu, nikuba chintanda, nikuba kochiswa, nikuba koli muntolongo, alimwi twakaleka kukubelekela?'
“Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’
45 “Eelyo uyobasandula kuti, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakatachitila abo banini babaaba, temwakazichita pe kulindime.'
“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’
