Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Na ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga wahine kotahi tekau, i mau i a ratou rama, a haere ana ki te whakatau i te tana marena hou;
2 And five of them were prudent and five foolish.
Tokorima o ratou he maharakore, tokorima he mahara.
3 They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;
Ko nga mea maharakore i mau i a ratou rama, kihai ia i mau hinu:
4 but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.
Ko te hunga mahara i mau hinu atu i roto i a ratou ipu me a ratou rama.
5 Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.
Ka whakaroa te tane marena hou, ka tunewha ratou katoa, ka moe.
6 But in [the] middle of [the] night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him.
Na, i waenganui po, ka pa te karanga, E, ko te tane marena hou! Puta mai koutou ki te whakatau i a ia.
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their torches.
Katahi ka ara katoa aua wahine, ka whakapai i a ratou rama.
8 And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.
Na ka mea te hunga maharakore ki te hunga mahara, Homai ki a matou tetahi wahi o ta koutou hinu: ka pirau hoki a matou rama.
9 But the prudent answered saying, [We cannot, ] lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Na ka whakahoki te hunga mahara, ka mea, Kahore; kei kore e ranea ma matou, ma koutou: engari me haere koutou ki nga kaihoko, hoko ai i tetahi ma koutou.
10 But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the [ones that were] ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
A, no to ratou haerenga atu ki te hoko, ka tae mai te tane marena hou: a tomo tahi ana me ia ki te marena te hunga kua ata rite: a tutakina ana te tatau.
11 Afterwards come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us;
Muri iho ka tae era wahine, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Ariki, uakina ki a matou.
12 but he answering said, Verily I say unto you, I do not know you.
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau e mohio ki a koutou.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
Kia mataara rapea koutou, e kore hoki koutou e mohio ki te ra, ki te haora, e puta mai ai te Tama a te tangata.
14 For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, karangatia ana e ia ana pononga ake, a hoatu ana ki a ratou ana taonga.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
Ki tetahi i hoatu e ia e rima taranata, ki tetahi e rua, ki tetahi kotahi; ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki to ratou uaua; a haere ana ia.
16 And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
Na ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, hokohokona ana aua mea e ia, a riro ana i a ia e rima atu nga taranata.
17 In like manner also he that [had received] the two, [he also] gained two others.
Pera ano hoki te tangata i nga mea e rua; e rua atu i riro i a ia.
18 But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
Ko te tangata ia i te mea kotahi, haere ana, kei te keri ki te whenua, a huna ana e ia te moni a tona ariki.
19 And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.
A, roa rawa iho, ka puta te ariki o aua pononga, ka mea kia korerotia ana moni e ratou ki a ia.
20 And he that had received the five talents came to [him] and brought five other talents, saying, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.
A, ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, ka mauria mai e ia e rima atu nga taranata, a ka mea, E te ariki, e rima au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na, e rima atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
21 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.
Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
22 And he also that had received the two talents came to [him] and said, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
Me tera hoki i a ia nei nga taranata e rua, ka haere mai, ka mea, E te ariki, e rua au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na e rua atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tonu tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
24 And he also that had received the one talent coming to [him] said, [My] lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,
A, ko te haerenga mai hoki o te tangata i a ia nei te taranata kotahi, ka mea, E te ariki, i matau ahau ki a koe he tangata pakeke koe, e kokoti ana i te wahi kihai i ruia e koe, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e koe:
25 and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.
Na ka wehi ahau, a haere ana, huna ana i tau taranata ki te whenua: na, tau na.
26 And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;
Na ka whakahoki tona ariki, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, pononga mangere, i matau koe e kokoti ana ahau i te wahi kihai i ruia e ahau, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e ahau:
27 thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.
Ko te mea tika hoki kia kawea e koe taku moni ki nga rangatira peeke moni, a ka tae mai ahau, ka riro mai taku me ona hua ano.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:
Ko tenei, tangohia te taranata i a ia, hoatu ki tera i nga taranata kotahi tekau.
29 for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia, a ka maha atu ana: a, ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko ana mea ake ka tangohia i a ia.
30 And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Na maka te pononga huakore ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
31 But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,
Na, hei te taenga mai o te Tama a te tangata me tona kororia, ratou tahi ko nga anahera, ko reira ia noho ai ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia:
32 and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
A ka whakaminea ki tona aroaro nga iwi katoa: ka wehea ratou e ia etahi i etahi, ka peratia me te hepara e wehe nei i nga hipi, i nga koati:
33 and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.
Ka whakaturia e ia nga hipi ki tona matau, ko nga koati ki maui.
34 Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:
Katahi te Kingi ka mea ki te hunga i tona matau, Haere mai, e te hunga whakapai a toku Matua, nohoia te rangatiratanga kua rite noa ake mo koutou no te orokohanganga ra ano o te ao:
35 for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
I hiakai hoki ahau, a whangainga ana e koutou: i matewai ahau, a whakainumia ana e koutou: he manene ahau, a whakamanuhiritia ana e koutou:
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
I tu tahanga, a whakakakahuria ana e koutou: he turoro, a tirotirohia ana ahau e koutou: i te whare herehere ahau, a haere mai ana koutou ki ahau.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?
Na ka whakahoki te hunga tika ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, a whangai ana i a koe? e mate ana ranei i te wai, e whakainu ana i a koe?
38 and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?
Nohea matou i kite ai i a koe e manene ana, a whakamanuhiri ana i a koe? e tu tahanga ana ranei, a whakakakahu ana i a koe?
39 and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?
Nonahea hoki matou i kite ai i a koe e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a haere ana ki a koe?
40 And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
Ko reira whakahoki ai te Kingi, mea ai ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta koutou i mea ai ki tetahi o aku teina, ahakoa ki te iti rawa, he meatanga tena ki ahau.
41 Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
Ko reira ia ki atu ai ki te hunga i te taha ki maui, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga ka oti nei te kanga, ki te ahi ka tonu, kua ka noa ake mo te rewera ratou ko ana anahera: (aiōnios g166)
42 for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;
I hiakai hoki ahau, a kihai i whangainga e koutou: i mate i te wai, a kihai i whakainumia e koutou:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
He manene ahau, a kihai i whakamanuhiritia e koutou: i tu tahanga, a kihai i whakakakahuria e koutou: he turoro ahau, i te whare herehere, a kihai koutou i tirotiro i ahau.
44 Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?
Ko reira ano ratou whakahoki ai ki a ia, mea ai, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, e mate wai ana, e manene ana, e tu tahanga ana, e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a kihai i mahi mea mau?
45 Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.
Ko reira whakahoki ai ia ki a ratou, mea ai, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, I te mea kihai nei i meatia e koutou ki tetahi o nga nonohi rawa nei, ina, kihai i meatia ki ahau.
