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.
Kangi lukumbi lwenulo, Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na vakamwali kumi vevagegili hahi zavi, vevahambili kumlindila mkolo ndowa.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mhanu pagati yavi vavi vayimu na mhanu vangi vavi na luhala.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.
Vala vayimu vagegii hahi zavi, nambu vagegili lepi mahuta gangi gachibana.
4 But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
Nambu vevavi na luhala vala vagegili mahuta muchupa na mu hahi zavi.
5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
Ndava muni mkolo ndowa acheliwi kubwela, ndi vasikana vala vatumbwili kutitila na vakagona.
6 At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
“Pagati ya kilu lwami luvaha lwayuwaniki, ‘Yumuka, mkolo ndowa ibwela mhamba mukampokela!’
7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
Kangi vakamwali vala voha vakayumuka, na kutendelekela hahi zavi.
8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
Vayimu vala vakavajovela vayavi vevavi na luhala, mutitangatila mahuta ginu padebe, ndava muni hahi zitu zijimika.
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.’
Nambu vevavi na luhala vala vakavayangula, lepi, ‘Gikola lepi, nyenye na tete.’ ‘Mbanga mhamba kuliduka mukajigulila mwavene.’
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.
Hinu, vakamwali vayimu vala, pevahambili kugula mahuta, mkolo ndowa ndi abwelili, vevajitendelekili vala vayingili munyumba ya ndowa pamonga nayu, kangi mlyangu wadindiwi.”
11 Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
Mwanakandahi vakawuya vakamwali vangi vala, vakakemela “Mkulu, ‘Mkulu, tidindulila!’
12 But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
Nambu mkulu yula akavayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, nakuvamanya nyenye.’”
13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Kangi Yesu akavajovela, “Mujiyangalila! Ndava mwimanya lepi ligono amala lisaa yeibwela Mwana wa Mundu.”
14 For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.
“Kangi Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana ngati mundu mmonga mweaganili kuhamba lugendu lwa kutali, avakemili vatumisi vaki na kuvagotolela vindu vyaki.
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.
Akavapela kila mundu ngati cheavi na uhotola waki, mmonga mahaku mhanu ga mashonga na yungi mahaku gavili ga mashonga na yungi talanta yimonga ya mashonga akahamba.
16 The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.
Yula mweagotoliwi talanta mhanu za mashonga, bahapo akazihengela lihengu na, kuziyonjokesa mahaku gangi mhanu.
17 Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.
Mewawa yungi mweagotoliwi mahaku gavili ga mashonga, akayonjokesa mahaku gangi gavili.
18 But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
Nambu mtumisi mweagotoliwi talanta yimonga ya lishonga akahamba kugimila pahi, kuyifiya mashonga ga mkulu waki.”
19 After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them.
“Pagamaliki magono gamahele, mkulu yula awuyili na kutumbula kuvalanga vindu mashonga gaki pamonga nawu.
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.’
Yula mtumisi mweagotoliwi mahaku mhanu ga mashonga abwelili kuni agegili mahaku ga mashonga gangi mhanu, ndi akamjovela, ‘Mkulu, wanipeli talanta mashonga mhanu, hinu niyonjokisi talanta zingi mhanu zeniyonjokisi.’
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!’
Mkulu waki, akamjovela ‘Uhengili chabwina, mtumisi msadikika na mbwina.’ Usadikiwi mu mambu gadebe yati nikugotolela mambu gavaha. Bwelayi uhekayi pamonga na mkulu waku!”
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.’
“Kangi mtumisi yungi mweagotoliwi mahaku gavili ga mashonga, abwelili, na kujova, ‘Mkulu wanigotolili mahaku gavili ga mashonga, lola aga apa mahaku gangi gavili geayonjokisi.’
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!’
‘Mkulu waki akamjovela, chabwina, veve mtumisi msadikika na mbwina!’ ‘Ukitili chabwina mu mambu gadebe, yati nikugotolela mambu gavaha, bwelayi uhekayi pamonga na nene.’”
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.
“Nambu yula mweagotoliwi talanta yimonga ya lishonga, abwelili akajova, ‘Mkulu nikumanyili veve wa mundu munonopo wibena pewangalima, na kutola pewangadandasa mbeyu.
25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
Ndi nayogwipi, nagimili pandima na kufiya lishonga laku. Hinu ndi utola yaku.’”
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.
“‘Mkulu waki akamyangula veve mtumisi mhakau na mkata! Wimanya kuvya nene nibena panangagaba, na kuyola pala panangadandasa?’
27 Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
Ndi yakuganili uvika mashonga gangu kwa vandu vevibadilisha na kuwusa mashonga, ndi nene nganitoli chiyonjokesu na mashonga gangu!
28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
Hinu mumnyaga mashonga genago, na mumpelayi yula mweavi na talanta kumi za mashonga.
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.
Ndava, mundu yeyoha mweavi na chindu yati ipewa na kuyonjokesewa. Nambu yula angali chindu, hati chidebe cheavili nachu yati inyagiwa.
30 And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Na mtumisi yula angali chiyonjokesu, mtaga kuvala kuchitita kwenuko ndi yati kuvya na luvembu na kuyaga minu.”
31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.
“Lukumbi Mwana wa Mundu peibwela muukulu waki pamonga na vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga, penapo yati itama panani ya chigoda cha unkosi chechivii na ukulu.
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.
Vandu va milima yoha yati vikonganeka pamonga palongolo yaki. Mwene ndi akuvapangula vandu ngati mdimaji cheipangula mambelele na mene.
33 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
Mwene yati ivika mambelele ndi vandu vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela na mene ndi vandu vahakau muchiwoko chaki cha kumangeya.”
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.
Kangi Nkosi akuvajovela vala vevavi upandi waki wa kulyela, mbwela, nyenye mwemumotisiwi na Dadi wangu! Mupokela unkosi wemuvikiwi kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima.
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,
Muni penavi na njala mwanipeli chakulya, navi na njota mwanipeli manji, avi myehe mwanipokili panyumba yinu,
36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
navi nangayatila mwaniwaliki, navi mtamu mwabweli kunilola, navi muchifungu mwanigendelili kunilola.
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?
“Penapo vandu vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati vakamyangula ‘Bambu, takuwene ndali njala yikuvina petakupeli chakulya, amala uvi na njota tete takupeli manji?
38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
Ndali takuwene wa myehe ndi tete takupokili, amala wavi changayatila takuwaliki?
39 When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
Ndali patakuwene una utamu amala muchifungu tabweli kukulola?’
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.’
Nkosi yati akuvayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, chindu chochoha chamumhengili mmonga wa valongo vangu vadebe ava, mwanihengili nene.’”
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)
“Kangi yati akuvajovela vala va upandi wa kumangeya, ‘Muwuka, palongolo yangu nyenye mwempewili likoto mhamba kumotu wangajimika wa magono goha gangali mwishu weutendelekiwi kwa Setani na vamitumu vaki. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
Ndava njala peyanivili nyenye mwanipeli lepi chakulya, penavi na njota nyenye mwanipeli lepi manji.
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.’
Penavi myehe nyenye mwenipokili lepi, penavi changayatila nyenye mwaniwaliki lepi, penavi mtamu na penavi muchifungu nyenye mwabweli lepi kunilola.’”
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?’
“Penapo yati viyangula, ‘Bambu, ndali petakuwene njala yikuvina, amala uvi na njota amala myehe amala changayatila nyula amala mtamu amala muchifungu tete takuhengili lepi?’
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.’
Bambu yati iyangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, chindu chochoha chamwabeli kumuhengela, mmonga wa vadebe ava, ndi mwabeli kunihengela nene.’
