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;
Mubuso wo kwiwulu kawu swane ni ba kamwale basika hekumi ba hindite malambi abo cho ku yenda kuka tambula musesi.
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
Ba kamwale bakwanisa iyanza ba bali baholo mi bamwi bakwanisa iyanza ba bena ingana.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Mi ba kamwale baholo chinga bahinda kampalamba abo, cho kubula kulihindila mafuta amwi nabo.
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Kono ba kamwale ba bena inga abo ba bahindite mafuta amwi mu zibiko ne malambi abo.
5 And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Mi linu musesi ha ba si lyehete, bonse co kutanga kusukula ne kulala.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
Kono hakati ka masiku ni kwaba ni kusumpwilila, “Mu bone musesi! Mwende hanze mu ka mutambule.”
7 Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
Mi linu ba kamwale bose mpu babukile cho ku munika tumpalamba twaabo.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Baholo ni ba cho bena inga kuti, “Mutuhuko ku mafuta kakuti malambi eetu chia zima.”
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.
Mi bena inga ni be taba ni baati, “Ka kuti mafuta a likene bulyo uswe, lyaho unwe muyende ku musika muka liwulile kwateni mubene.”
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;
Mi chi ba siyendete ku ku kawula, musesi chokusika, mi abo ba ba mulindile cho kwi njila naye mu mukiti we iseso, kuzwaho mulyango cho kwi yalwa.
11 and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
Kumasule aho mpu ba kezilile ba na bamwi ba kamwale nibati kuti, “Simwine, simwine twiwulile.”
12 and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
Kono iye na be taba nati, “Cho busa kusima ni mu lwilite, kani mwizi.”
13 Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
Linu mpaho mwikale ni mulisize, kakuti ka mwizi izuba mane nangati inako.
14 For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
Ka kuti kuswana mane ili muntu ya bali kusaka kuyenda ku kanda imwi. Yaa bati na sumpa bahikana bakwe cho kubaha buhumi 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.
Zumwi cho kumuha italenta zimana iyanza, zumwi iye cho ku muha zobele, mi zumwi cho ku muha yi mwina italenta. Mi zumwi ni zumwi wabo na tambula kuya mwa bali ku wolela, kuzwaho uzo muntu cho kuli yendele mu lwendo lwaka.
16 And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
Hohwaho bulyo zuna ya ba tambuli ineo zina ku mana iyanza cho ku zwa cho kuka zinjisa chezimwi hape zina ku mane iyanza.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Mu kuswana hape u zu ya ba tambuli zobele, cho kuka zizaza ce zimwi zoobele.
18 and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Kono muhikana ya ba tambwile imwina ineo na yenda, cho ku kaisila ilindi, cho kuwungula mwateni mali a simwine wakwe.
19 And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
Cinga kwa hita inako inde, simwine wabo bahikana na ba sumpa kwiza ku lekula za ba basili.
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.
Muhikana ya ba helwa ineo zina ku mane iyanza ne za ne zimwi hape zina kumane iyanza. Mi nati kuti, “Simwine u ba nihi ineo zina ku mana iyanza mi bone ni bakapangi zimwi hape zina ku mana iyanza.”
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.
Simwine wakwe na muco kuti, “U bapangi nenza muhikana mulotu ni yo sepahala! U ba sepahali kuzintu zinini. mi linu hanu muni kubike mu kulolelela zintu zingi. linu paho wi njile mukusanga kwa simwine wako.”
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.
Muhikana ya ba tambwile italenta zobele cha keza ni kuwamba, “Simwine u ba ni hele italenta zobele. Bone, ni bapangi zimwi zobele hape.”
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.
Simwine wakwe cha wamba kwali, “U bapangi nenza, muhikana mulatu ni yo sepahala! U ba sepahali hewulu lya zintu ziche ka ni kubike kuyendisa zintu zingi. Njile mukusanga kwa simwine 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;
Mi linu, muhikana ya bahewa ineo yi mwina ne za nacho, “Simwine, nizi kuti u muntu u mukukutu. U sinza hosana u balimite, mane uhuhula hosana u bahasi.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
Mi cinga natiya puni yendele cho kuka yi zika mwi bu. Bone, nji chako icho cho banihele.”
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!
Mi simwine wakwe na mwitaba na mucho kuti, “U we muhikana yo fosehele ne bukata, wizi bule kuti ni muntu yo sinza hasana a balimi kamba yo huhula hasana a balimi.
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.
Mi bone kali mali angu no baahi ba zaza mali, hanu ni ni bezi kuwana chimwi zana.
28 Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Linu mu munyange iyo ineo yi mwina cho ku yiha muhikana yo kwete zina ikumi.
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;
Kakuti ku zumwe no zumwe yo kwete ka hewa zingi, mane ne ku zambiliza. Mi ku zumwe ni zumwe ye kusena chena nacho, mane nechina chichita kuti wina nacho ka chi nyangwa.
30 and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Muhinde musohele muhikana uzu ya sena mutendo, mu musohele hanze ku kelima uko kwina kuwunzula ni kulila inkunkuma.”
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;
Mi Mwana wo Muntu chi neza mu ku belenga kwa kwe ni mangiloi onse naye, linu njete ne kale ha chipula chakwe cibelenga.
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,
Mi habusu bwakwe, ka kunganyeza mishobo yonse, mi njete na taule bantu mukati kabo, sina mulisini mwa tawila imbelele mu impene.
33 and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
Kaabike imbelele kwi yanza lya kwe lya malyo, kono impene izo cho kuzibika ku lya mamonso.
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;
Mi linu Simwine njeti na wambe nabo bena kwi yanza lya kwe lya malyo, “Mwize, unwe mu helwa mikonde kwa Tayo, muswane mubuso u mu bikilwa kuzwa ku nkanda ni yi pangwa.
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;
Kakuti ni ba fwile inzala mi mwaniha zo kulya, ne nyotwa iba nikwete mi nimwani nywisika, mane ne buyenzi ne bali ni muyenzi mi ni mwani tambula.
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
Hape ni ba kosokelwa mi ni mwani zwatika, kuzwaho hape chini lwala mubani tokomeli, ne mu intolongo mubeza kwangu.”
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?
Linu bajolola njeti ni be tabe ni bati, “Simwine, njilili ha tuba ku boni no fwile inzala ni twa kulisika? Kamba no fwile inyotwa mi ni twa kuha menzi?
38 And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
Hape njilili ni twa ku bona noli umwene mu ni twa kwinjilika mu mazubo etu? Kamba no wina mapunu ni twa ku zwatika?
39 And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
Hape mane njilili ni twa kubona no lwala kamba no wina mu intolongo ni twa ku potela?
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.
Mi Simwine njete na betabe cho kuti, cho busakusima ni milwila kuti chi mubachitile bobwabo ba nyanseha ba ba kwangu mu ba chini chiti.”
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)
Linu njete na cho kwabo bena kwi yanza lyakwe lya ma monso muzwe kwangu, “Muzwe hangu unwe mukutitwa, muye ku mulilo u chitilwa jabulusi ne mangiloi akwe, (aiōnios g166)
42 for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
kakuti ni ba fwile nzala, kono kena mubanihi cho kulya, ni ba fwile inyotwa, kono kena mubanihi menzi.
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.
Ni bali ni muyenzi, kono kana mubani tambuli, ni ba kusokelwe, kono kena mu bani zwatiki, nibali kulwala ni kuba muntolongo, kono kahena mubani potela.”
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?
Mi nabo njete ba mwi tabe cho ku mucho kuti, “Simwine, njilili ni twa kubona no fwile nzala, kamba nofwile inyotwa, kamba noli u muyenzi, kamba no kusokelwa, kamba no wina mu intolongo mi kahena tuba ku tendeli cimwi?
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.
Kuzwaho njete na be tabe cho kuti, “Cho busakusima ni mulwila, chimusana mu ba pangili a bo bantu ba nyanseha bo bwabo kena mu ba chini chitili.
