Matthew 25
1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun nglamica xa, ami meiim jah ceh lü ca mbumki a na do khaia, citkie üng tängki ni.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
“Mhma cun am cingcai u, akce mhma ta cingcaikie.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.
“Am cingcaikie cun ami meiim cehpüi u lü meitui um üng am ceheisih u.
4 But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
“Acunsepi, akcinge cun ami meiim üng meitui a bea thea um üng meitui abe ceheisihkie.
5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
“Ca mbumki am pha law nai se, ami van ngam u lü ipeikie.
6 At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
“Mthan nglunga, ‘Ca mbumki law ve, law lü do law ua,’ ti lü ngpyang kthai ngthang lawki.
7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
“Nglamica he cun ami van xak law u lü ami mei ime jah pyaneikie.
8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
“Am cingcaikie naw, ‘Akcinge üng nami meitui jah pe lawca ua, kami meiim thi law hlü ve’ ami ti.
9 ‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
“Akcinge naw, ‘Kaa, keimi ja nangmia phäh meitui am khäk hlü ve. Cit lü namimäta phäh va khyäiei ua’ ami ti.
10 But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
“Acunüng, meitui khyäi khai hea ami va ceh k’um üng, ca mbumki law lü meitui taki he cun am atänga ca mbumnaka jah lutpüi lü ksawh ami khaih u.
11 Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
“Acunkäna, nglamica kce he pi law hnga u lü, ‘Bawipa aw, Bawipa aw, lut law hnga vang ung’ ami ti.
12 But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
“Ani naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi am ning jah ksing nawng’ a ti.
13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
“Ia kcün ja amhnüp üng Khyanga Capa law be khai ti, am nami ksingkia kya se, a na ngcüngceiei ua.
14 For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.
“Khankhaw Pe cun khyang mat kdunglawng hü khai naw a mpyae jah khü lü a khawhkhyeme jah mceisaki am tängki ni.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
“Ami khyaihnak üng ngkäkia, mat üng ngui thawng mhma, mat üng thawng nghngih ja mat üng thawng at cima jah pe hüt lü kdung hüki.
16 The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.
“Thawng mhma yahki naw ta cit ktäi lü a ngui cun am kungpang hü lü thawng mhmaa a pungsak.
17 Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.
“Acukba bäa thawng nghngih yahki naw pi thawng nghngiha a pungsak.
18 But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
“Cunüngpi, thawng mat yahki naw ta amahpa ngui cun cehpüi lü mdek k’uma a va cümin.
19 After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them.
“Khawvei angsawk käna ami mahpa law be lü a jah pet hüt nguia mawng a jah kthäh.
20 The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
“Thawng mhma yahkia mpya naw ta a yaha ngui thawng mhma lawpüi lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, thawng mhma na na pet hüt; tenga, thawng mhma ka yahsih ni’ ti lü a msum be.
21 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
“Amahpa naw, ‘Daw ve, nang hin daw lü sitihkia mpya ni; apica üng na sitihkia kyase, kei naw khawhaha ka ning ap khai ni. Law lü na mahpaa dä ayüma jekyaia’ a ti.
22 The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’
“Acunüng, thawng nghngih yahki pi law hnga lü a yaha ngui thawng nghngih lawpüi lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, thawng nghngih na na pet hüt; tenga, thawng nghngih ka yahsih ni’ a ti.
23 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
“Amahpa naw, ‘Daw ve, nang hin daw lü sitihkia mpya ni; apica üng na sitihkia kyase, kei naw khawhah ka ning ap khai ni. Law lü na mahpaa dä ayüma jekyaia’ a ti.
24 Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
“Thawng mat yahki pi law lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, nang cun na khaki, am na sawnaka na atki, mci am na phuhnakaa pi na mcunki’ ti ka ksingki.
25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
“Acunakyase kyühei lü, ka va citki naw mdek k’uma ka k’uhin ni. Tenga, acuna mä se na ka bi bea,” a ti.
26 ‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.
“Amahpa naw, ‘Nang mpya kse, mpya kdam! Am ka sawnaka ka atki, mci am ka phuhnaka ka mcunki’ ti na ksingki am niki aw?
27 Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
“Ka ngui cun ngui cümnak ima jah va kpuki se, ka law be üng ka ngui pung se ka yah be vai sü.
28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
“Tuh ta, hina veia ngui la be lü ngui thawng xa taki üng pe ua.
29 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
“Isetiakyaküng, khawkän yah thei lü taki üng, a tak law dämdäm vaia pet sih vai. Cunüngpi, i pi am ta lü am sui theiki üng, a takca naküt huh be vai.
30 And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“Ia pi am ngmangnaka mpya, anghmüpnak, kpunga va xawt tawn hü ua. Acuia khuikha mpyensetnak am mnicui hakyet lü ve khai,’ ti lü a jah mtheh.
31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.
“Khyanga Capa cun Sangpuxanga mäiha a khankhawngsä ngcime am atänga a law be üng, a Bawingawhnak üng ngaw khai.
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
“A maa, khyang mjü naküt ngcun law khaie. Acunüng toksäm naw a toe mee ksung üngkhyüh a jah mtaia kba khyang mjü naküt cun jah mtai law khai.
33 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
“Khyang ngsungpyune cun a khet da jah ta lü, akce he cun a kcawng da jah ta khai.
34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
“Acunüng, Sangpuxang naw a khet da kae üng, ‘Law ua, ka pa naw dawkyanak am a ning jah kbe, khawmdek angtüi üngkhyüh nami phäha pyan päng Khankhaw Pe cen ka na ua.
35 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,
‘Ei ka cawi üng na na tumbeiki; tui ka xai üng tui na na peki; Khina ka kya üng pi na ima na na khin naki;
36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
‘Suisak kpuma ka ve üng, nami na msuimsaki; am ka phetyai üng, nami na msümcei büktengki; thawng ima ka ve üng pi, ka veia nami lawki he,’ ti law khai.
37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?
“Khyang ngsungpyune naw, ‘Bawipa aw, itüh üng ei cawiki se ning hmu u lü, kami ning mbei ni? Itüh üng tui xaiki se tui kami ning tu ni?
38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
‘Itüh üng, khina kya lü, kami ning khinnak ni? Itüh üng suisak kpuma veki se, kami ning msuimsak ni?
39 When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
‘Itüh üng am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, kami ning bükteng law ni? ami ti.
40 And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
“Sangpuxang naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina ka hnükläke üngka akdikca säiha khana nami bi naküt cun keia phäh nami bi ni,’ ti law khai.
41 Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
“Acunkäna, a kcawng da kae üng, ‘Pamhnama yünsenak khameikie aw, Khawyam ja a khankhawngsä hea phäha pyang mulaia ka venak üngkhyüh cit ua. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
‘Isetiüng, ei ka cawi üng, ei am na mbei uki; tui xai üng se, awk vai tui am na pe uki;
43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
‘Khina ka kyak üngpi am nami na khinaki; suisak kpuma ve üng se, am nami na msuimsaki; am ka phetyai lü thawng ima ka um üng pi, am nami na bükteng lawki.’
44 And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
“Acunüng, amimi naw, ‘Bawipa aw, itüh üng ei cawi lü, tui ngaih lü, khina kya lü, akpuma na ve, am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, ning hmu u lü, am kami ning kueiki ni?” ti law khaie.
45 Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
“Sangpuxang naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina akdikca kuei vai nami hai cun Kei nami na haia kyaki,’ ti lü, jah msang be.
