Matthew 25
1 THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
“Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaananyizibwa n’abawala embeerera ekkumi, abaatwala ettaala zaabwe ne bagenda okusisinkana anaawasa omugole.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Abataano tebaalina magezi, abataano abalala ne baba b’amagezi.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Abataalina magezi, ne batatwala mafuta gamala mu ttaala zaabwe.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Naye abagezi baatwala amafuta mu macupa gaabwe ag’okweyambisa wamu n’ettaala zaabwe.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Naye anaawasa omugole bwe yalwawo okutuuka otulo ne tubakwata bonna, ne beebaka.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
“Obudde bwe bwatuuka mu ttumbi oluyoogaano ne lubazuukusa, abantu nga baleekaana nti, ‘Awasa omugole atuuse! Mujje mumwanirize!’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“Abawala embeerera bonna ne bazuukuka ne baseesa ettaala zaabwe.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Awo abawala abataano abataalina magezi ne bagamba nti, ‘Mutuwe ku mafuta gammwe, kubanga ettaala zaffe zaagala kuzikira ziggweerera.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
“Naye bannaabwe ne babaddamu nti, ‘Amafuta ge tulinawo gatumala bumazi. Mugende mu maduuka mwegulireyo.’
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
“Naye baali baakagenda anaawasa omugole n’atuuka, abo abaali beeteeseteese ne bayingira ku mbaga, oluggi ne luggalwawo.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Oluvannyuma abawala bali abataano ne bakomawo ne bayita nti, ‘Ssebo, tuggulirewo!’
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Naye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, sibamanyi!’
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
“Kale mutunule mweteeketeeke, kubanga temumanyi kiseera wadde olunaku.”
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
“Obwakabaka bwa Katonda, ate bufaananyizibwa n’olugero lw’omusajja eyali agenda olugendo, n’ayita abaddu be n’abalekera ebintu bye.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Eyasooka yamuwa ttalanta ttaano, owookubiri bbiri n’owookusatu emu, ng’ageraageranya ng’okusobola kwa buli omu bwe kwali. Bw’atyo ne yeetambulira.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Omusajja eyafuna ttalanta ettaano n’azisuubuzisa n’afunamu ttalanta ttaano endala.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
N’oyo eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’aviisaamu endala biri.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Naye eyaweebwa ttalanta emu, bwe yagifuna n’agenda n’aziika ttalanta ya mukama we mu ttaka.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
“Awo nga wayiseewo ekiseera kiwanvu, mukama w’abaddu abo n’akomawo. N’ayita abaddu be bamutegeeze ebyafa ku ttalanta ze yabalekera.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
Omusajja gwe yalekera ttalanta ettaano n’ajja n’amuleetera ttalanta endala ttaano ng’agamba nti, ‘Mukama wange wampa ttalanta ttaano, nviisizaamu ttalanta endala ttaano.’
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
“Mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa, obadde mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono, ndikusigira ebintu ebingi. Yingira sanyukira wamu ne mukama wo.’
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
“Eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’ajja, n’ategeeza mukama we nti, ‘Ssebo, wandekera ttalanta bbiri, era ne nziviisaamu ttalanta endala bbiri.’
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
“Mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa, obadde mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono, ndikusigira ebintu ebingi. Yingira osanyukire wamu ne mukama wo.’
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
“Omusajja eyalekerwa ttalanta emu n’ajja, n’agamba nti, ‘Ssebo, nakumanya nga bw’oli omuntu omuzibu, okungulira gy’otaasigira era okuŋŋaanyiza gy’otaasaasaanyiza.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
Olw’okutya bwe wagenda ne nkweka ttalanta yo mu ttaka era yiino ttalanta yo.’
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
“Naye mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Ggwe omuddu omubi era omugayaavu! Obanga wamanya nti ndi muntu akungulira gye ssaasigira,
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
wanditadde ensimbi zange mu bbanka gye bandimpaddemu amagoba nga nkomyewo.’
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
“N’alagira nti, ‘Mumuggyeeko ettalanta eyo mugiwe oli alina ttalanta ekkumi.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Kubanga alina aliweebwa abe na bingi naye atalina, n’ebyo by’alina ebitono birimuggyibwako.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
N’omuddu oyo ataliiko ky’agasa mumusuule ebweru mu kizikiza eri okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.’
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
“Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne bamalayika bonna nga bali naye, alituula ku ntebe ey’ekitiibwa kye.
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Awo amawanga gonna galikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu maaso ge era aligaawulamu ng’omusumba bw’ayawulamu endiga n’embuzi.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Endiga aliziteeka ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’embuzi ku gwa kkono.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
“Awo Kabaka n’alyoka agamba abali ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo nti, ‘Mujje mmwe Kitange be yawa omukisa, musikire obwakabaka obwabateekerwateekerwa okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi.
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Kubanga nnali muyala ne mundiisa, nnali muyonta ne mumpa ekyokunywa, nnali mugenyi ne munnyaniriza,
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
nnali bwereere ne munnyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne munnambula, nnali mu kkomera ne mujja okundaba.’
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
“Abatuukirivu ne bamubuuza nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala ne tukuliisa? Oba ng’olina ennyonta ne tukuwa ekyokunywa?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Oba ng’oli mugenyi ne tukwaniriza? Oba ng’oli bwereere, ne tukwambaza?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Twakulaba ddi ng’oli mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera ne tukulambula?’
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
“Kabaka, alibaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mwabikolera baganda bange bano abasembayo wansi kye kimu mwabikolera nze!’
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
“Bw’atyo aligamba abo abali ku mukono gwe ogwa kkono nti, ‘Muveewo, mmwe abakolimire, mulage mu muliro ogutazikira ogwateekerwateekerwa Setaani ne bamalayika be. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Kubanga nnali muyala ne mutampa kyakulya, nnali muyonta ne mutampa kyakunywa,
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
nnali mugenyi ne mutannyaniriza, nnali bwereere ne mutannyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne mu kkomera ne mutajja kunnambula.’
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
“Nabo baliddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala oba ng’oli muyonta, oba ng’oli mugenyi oba ng’oli bwereere oba mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera, ne tutakuyamba?’
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
“Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘ddala ddala mbagamba nti, nga bwe mutaakikola omu ku bano abasembayo wansi, nange temwakinkola.’
