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;
Bokonzi ya Likolo ekozala lokola baseka zomi oyo bakamataki minda na bango mpe bakendeki kokutana na mobali ya libala.
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
Kati na bango, mitano bazalaki bazoba, mpe mitano bazalaki mayele.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Baseka oyo bazalaki bazoba bakamataki minda na bango, kasi bamemaki mafuta te;
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
ba-oyo bazalaki mayele bakamataki minda na bango mpe milangi oyo ezalaki na mafuta kati na yango.
5 And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Lokola mobali ya libala azalaki kowumela mpo na kokoma, baseka nyonso wana bayokaki pongi mpe balalaki.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
Na ngonga ya midi ya butu, mongongo moko eyokanaki: « Mobali ya libala ayei! Bokende kokutana na ye! »
7 Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
Baseka nyonso balamukaki mpe babongisaki minda na bango.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Baseka oyo bazalaki bazoba balobaki na ba-oyo bazalaki mayele: « Bopesa biso ndambo ya mafuta na bino, pamba te minda na biso ekomi pene ya kokufa. »
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.
Kasi baseka oyo bazalaki mayele bazongisaki: « Te! Ekokoka te mpo na biso mpe bino! Ebongi nde bokima mbangu epai ya bateki mafuta mpo ete bosomba mafuta na bino moko. »
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;
Wana bazalaki kokende kosomba mafuta, mobali ya libala akomaki: baseka oyo bamilengelaki bakotaki elongo na mobali ya libala kati na ndako oyo basalelaka feti ya libala, mpe bakangaki ekuke.
11 and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
Na sima, baseka mosusu mpe bayaki; balobaki: « Nkolo, nkolo, fungolela biso ekuke! »
12 and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
Kasi azongiselaki bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nayebi bino te. »
13 Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
Boye bosenzela, pamba te boyebi mokolo te, boyebi mpe ngonga te.
14 For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
Ekozala lisusu lokola moto moko oyo, wana akomaki pene ya kokende na mobembo, abengaki basali na ye mpe apesaki bango mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye.
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.
Apesaki na mosali ya liboso batalanta mitano; na mosali ya mibale, batalanta mibale; mpe na mosali ya misato, talanta moko. Apesaki bango yango kolanda makoki ya moko na moko, mpe akendeki na mobembo.
16 And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mitano abandaki mbala moko kobalola yango na mombongo, mpe mombongo yango ebotaki batalanta mosusu mitano lokola mileki.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mibale asalaki mpe ndenge moko. Mombongo na ye ebotaki batalanta mosusu mibale lokola mileki.
18 and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Kasi moto oyo azwaki kaka talanta moko atimolaki libulu kati na mabele mpe abombaki talanta ya nkolo na ye.
19 And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
Sima na mikolo ebele, nkolo ya basali wana azongaki mpe alobaki na bango: « Boyebisa ngai ndenge nini bosalelaki bozwi na ngai. »
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.
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mitano apusanaki mpe amemaki batalanta mitano mosusu oyo azwaki lokola mileki. Alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, opesaki ngai batalanta mitano; tala, nazwi batalanta mitano mosusu lokola mileki. »
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.
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: « Malamu! Ozali mosali malamu mpe ya sembo. Lokola ozalaki sembo na biloko moke, nakopesa yo mokumba ya kobatela biloko ebele. Yaka kosepela elongo na nkolo na yo. »
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.
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mibale ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, opesaki ngai batalanta mibale; tala, nazwi batalanta mibale mosusu lokola mileki. »
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.
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: « Malamu! Ozali mosali malamu mpe ya sembo. Lokola ozalaki sembo na biloko moke, nakopesa yo mokumba ya kobatela biloko ebele. Yaka kosepela elongo na nkolo na yo. »
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;
Bongo mosali oyo azwaki talanta moko ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, nayebaki ete ozali moto ya matata, obukaka bambuma na elanga oyo olonaki te mpe olokotaka bambuma na esika oyo obwakaki ata nkona moko te.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
Yango wana, nabangaki mpe nakendeki kobomba talanta na yo na se ya mabele. Tala yango oyo, kamata talanta na yo. »
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!
Nkolo na ye azongisaki: « Mosali mabe mpe ya goyigoyi! Lokola oyebaki ete nabukaka bambuma na elanga oyo nalonaki te mpe nalokotaka bambuma na esika oyo nabwakaki ata nkona moko te,
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.
mpo na nini opesaki te talanta na ngai epai ya babombi misolo mpo ete, na bozongi na ngai, nakoka kozwa yango elongo na mileki?
28 Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Bobotola ye talanta yango mpe bopesa yango epai ya moto oyo azali na batalanta zomi.
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;
Pamba te, na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu, mpe akokoma na bofuluki; kasi na moto oyo azangi, bakobotola ye ata oyo azali na yango.
30 and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Bongo na oyo etali mosali mabe oyo, bobwaka ye kati na molili ya libanda, epai wapi kolela mpe koswa minu ezali. »
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;
Tango Mwana na Moto akoya kati na nkembo na Ye elongo na ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso, akovanda na Kiti ya Bokonzi na Ye ya nkembo.
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,
Bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekosangana liboso na Ye. Bongo akokabola bango na masanga mibale ndenge mobateli bibwele akabolaka bameme mpe bantaba:
33 and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
akotia bameme na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali, mpe bantaba, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
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;
Sima na yango, Mokonzi akoloba na bato oyo bakozala na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali: « Boya, bino bato oyo Tata na Ngai apambola, bokamata libula na bino, Bokonzi oyo babongisela bino wuta mokili ekelama.
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;
Pamba te nayokaki nzala, mpe bopesaki Ngai bilei; nayokaki posa ya mayi, mpe bopesaki Ngai mayi ya komela; nazalaki mopaya, mpe boyambaki Ngai malamu;
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
nazalaki bolumbu, mpe bolatisaki Ngai bilamba; nabelaki, mpe bosungaki Ngai; nakotaki na boloko, mpe boyaki kotala Ngai. »
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?
Bongo, bato ya sembo bakoloba na Ye: « Nkolo, tango nini tomonaki Yo na nzala mpe topesaki Yo bilei; tango nini tomonaki na posa ya mayi, mpe topesaki yo mayi ya komela?
38 And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
Tango nini tomonaki Yo mopaya, mpe toyambaki Yo malamu; tango nini ozalaki bolumbu, mpe biso tolatisaki Yo?
39 And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
Tango nini tomonaki Yo kobela to kati na boloko mpe toyaki kotala Yo? »
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.
Mokonzi akozongisela bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: eloko nyonso oyo bosalaki mpo na moko kati na bandeko na Ngai, oyo bazali bato pamba, boyeba malamu ete bosalaki yango nde epai na Ngai. »
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)
Bongo akoloba na bato oyo bakozala na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi: « Bokende mosika na Ngai, bino bato oyo Nzambe alakela mabe; bokende na moto ya libela na libela, oyo ebongisama mpo na Satana elongo na ba-anjelu na ye. (aiōnios g166)
42 for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
Pamba te nayokaki nzala, kasi bopesaki Ngai bilei te; nayokaki posa ya mayi, kasi bopesaki Ngai te mayi ya komela;
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.
nazalaki mopaya, kasi boyambaki Ngai malamu te epai na bino; nazalaki bolumbu, kasi bolatisaki Ngai te; nabelaki mpe nakotaki na boloko, kasi bosungaki Ngai te. »
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?
Bango mpe bakotuna Ye: « Nkolo, tango nini tomonaki Yo na nzala to na posa ya mayi; tango nini tomonaki Yo mopaya, ozangi bilamba, ozali kobela to okoti na boloko, bongo tosungaki Yo te? »
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.
Akozongisela bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: eloko nyonso oyo bosalaki te mpo na moko kati na bato pamba oyo, boyeba malamu ete bozangaki nde kosala yango epai na Ngai. »
