Matthew 25
1 “Then will the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
Lino bwami bwakujulu buyokozyanisigwa abasimbi balikkumi bakabweza malampi aabo alimwi bayinka kuyochinga simusa.
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
Balimusanu baabo bakali bafubafuba alimwi balimusanu bakali basongo.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Aawo basimbi bafubafuba nibakabweza malampi aabo, tebakabweza pe mafuta aabo.
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Pesi basimbi basongo bakabweza mafuta aabo muzibikilo.
5 And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Lino simusa wakanonoka, boonse bakaguna alimwi bakoona.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
Pesi akati kabusiku kwakamvwigwa ikongolola, Ámulange, simusa! Amuzwe aanze alimwi mukamuchinge akumutambula.
7 Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
Éelyo basimbi boonse bakabuka alimwi bayasya malampi aabo.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Bafubafuba bakaamba kuti kubasongo, 'mutwabile amwi mafuta aanu nkambo malampi esu azima.'
9 and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.
'Pesi bo basongo bakasandula kuti, 'mbokunga takotukwanina swebo andinywe, amwinke kuli baabo basambala alimwi mukalyulile eenu nobeni.
10 And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feasts, and the door was shut;
Áawo nubakachili kukuyowula, simusa wakasika, alimwi aabo bakalibambilide bakayinka aawe kupobwe, alimwi imulyango wakajalwa.
11 and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
“Kumane boobu bamwi basimbi abalabo bakaboola alimwi baamba kuti, “Simalelo wesu, Simalelo wesu, tujulile.'
12 and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
“Pesi wakabasandula alimwi wakati, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, tandimuzi pe.
13 Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
Nkinkaako amuchenjele, nkambo tamulizi izuba nikuba ichindi.
14 For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
“Zyakozyania amwalumi wakali afwifwi akuya munyika iimbi. Wakayita balanda bakwe alimwi wabaabila buvubi bwakwe.
15 and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
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.
16 And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
Ooyo wakatambula matalenta alimusanu wakeenda wakubuka akwabelesya mpawo wakabbindawuka ambi alimusanu.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Mbuboobo, oyo wakatambwide aabili alakwe wakabbindawuka wajana aambi aabili.
18 and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Pesi oyo mulanda wakalalimwi wakeenda, wakusya kkomba mulubuwa, alimwi wakasisa mamali asimalelaakwe.
19 And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
Lino mumazuba simalelo wabalanda aaba boonse wakaboola wazolangalanga myeelwe yabuvubi antomwe ambabo balanda bakwe.
20 and he who received the five talents, having come, brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me; behold, I gained five other talents besides them.
Mulanda oyo wakatambwide matalenta alimusanu wakaboola alimwi weeta aambi alimusanu. Wakamba kuti, 'Simalelo wangu, Langa, ndakakubbindawuka aambi alimusanu.
21 And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
“Simalelaakwe wakati kulinguwe, 'wakachita kabotu, iwe nomulanda mubotu alimwi usyomeka! Walikusyomeka muzintu ziche. Ndiyokubika kuti ukeendelezye zintu zyiingi. Njila mubusekelezi bwasimalelaako.'
22 And he also, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I gained two other talents besides them.
“Ooyo mulanda wakatambwide matalenta aabili wakaboola waamba kuti, 'Simalelo wangu, wakandipa matallenta aabili. Langa, ndakabbindawuka aambi abili lubo.
23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
“Simalelo wakwe wakati kuli nguwe, 'wakachita kabotu, iwe numulanda mubotu alimwi usyomeka! Walikusyomeka muzintu ziche. Ndiyokubika kuti ukeendelezye zintu zyiingi. Njila mubusekelezi bwasimalelo wako.'
24 And he also who has received the one talent, having come, said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter;
“Eelyo oyo mulanda wakatambwide talenta lyomwe wakasika alakwe wati, 'Simalelo wangu, ndilikwizi kuti ulimwalumi ukalala. Ulatebula mpotabyalide, alimwi ulatebula mpotakwe niwamwaya.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
Ndakayoowa, lino ndakeenda mpawo ndakusiisa talenta munyika. Langa ndeeli lyako ndabozya.
26 And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
“Pesi Simalelaakwe wakamusandula wati kulinguwe, Íwe nomulanda mubi alimwi mutolo, wakaziba kuti ndilatebula aawo mpondatabyalape alimwi ndilatebula aawo mponditamwayide pe.
27 It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
Nkiinkaako wakeelede kupa mamali kulibasikulondola, alimwi kukuyobola kwangu ndakati kunobweza aangu antoomwe ayaayo alikunozyalwa.
28 Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Nkiinkako amumubwezele talenta alimwi mulipe ooyo mulanda ulamatalenta alikkumi.
29 for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;
Mpawo kuli umwi awumwi weeta zyiingi uyopegwa, alimwi uyooba azyiingi. Pesi kuliyooyo utayeti chintu, uyonyanzigwa nikuba eecho nchajisi.
30 and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mumubwale mumudima ooyo mulanda utakwe anchabede, omo mulikulila alimwi akuluma ntwino.'
31 And whenever the Son of Man may come in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then He will sit on a throne of His glory;
“Eelyo Mwana a Muntu nayoboola mubulemu alimwi abaangelo bakwe boonse, uyokkala achuuno chakwe chabulemu.
32 and all the nations will be gathered together before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
Kuyobunganisigwa misyobo yoonse, alimwi uyopambula bantu umwi akulumwi, mbuli mwembeli mbwapambula imbelele kuzwa kumpongo.
33 and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
Uyobika mbelele kuchilisyo chakwe, pesi mpongo kuchimweensi chakwe.
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Eelyo Mwami uyowamba kuli zeezyo zitanoli kuchilisyo kuti, 'Muze, inywe nimulongezezegwe a Taata, amujane bwami oobo mbumwakabambilidwe kuzwa kumatalikilo anyika.
35 for I hungered, and you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
Nkaambo ndakali enzala alimwi mwakandipa chakulya.' ndakali enyota alimwi mwakandipa chakunywa.' ndakali mwenzu alimwi mwakandinjizya mungánda.'
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
ndakali chintanda alimwi mwakandisamika.' ndakali kuchiswa alimwi mwakandisilika.' ndakali mujele alimwi mwakandiswaya.'
37 Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
Éelyo baluleme bayosandula alimwi kabati, 'Mwami, ndilili nitwakakubona koli enzala alimwi twakakusanina? Nikuba nyota alimwi twakakupa meenda?
38 And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
Ndilili nitwakakubona koli mwenzu alimwi twakakutambula akukunjizya? Nikuba chintaanda alimwi twakakusamika?
39 And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
Alimwi ndilili nitwakakubona kochiswa nikuba muntolongo alimwi twasika kulinduwe?'
40 And the King answering, will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of these My brothers—the least—you did [it] to Me.
“Eelyo Mwami uyosandula alimwi uyoti kuli mbaabo, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakachitila kumunini wabakwesu, mwakazichitila ndime.'
41 Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Go from Me, the cursed, into the continuous fire that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
Eelyo uyoti kuli baabo batanoli kuchimweensi chakwe, 'Muzwe kuli ndime, inywe nimutukidwe, munjile mumulilo utamani ooyo ubambilidwe Satani abaangelo bakwe, (aiōnios g166)
42 for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
nkambo ndakali enzala, pesi temwakandipa pe chakulya; ndakali enyota, pesi temwakandipa pe meenda;
43 I was a stranger, and you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after Me.
ndakali mweenzu, pesi temwakandinjizizye pe mungánda; ndakali chintanda, pesi temwakandisamika pe; ndakali kuchiswa alimwi nikuba nindakali muntolongo, pesi takwepe nchimwakayeeya andime.'
44 Then they will answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?
“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?'
45 Then will He answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] not to one of these, the least, you did [it] not to Me.
“Eelyo uyobasandula kuti, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakatachitila abo banini babaaba, temwakazichita pe kulindime.'
