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;
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 who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Ko nga mea maharakore i mau i a ratou rama, kihai ia i mau hinu:
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Ko te hunga mahara i mau hinu atu i roto i a ratou ipu me a ratou rama.
5 And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Ka whakaroa te tane marena hou, ka tunewha ratou katoa, ka moe.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; 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 rose, and trimmed their lamps,
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, because our lamps 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 and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, 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 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;
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 and afterward 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 and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known 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 you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
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—as a man going abroad called his own servants, 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, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
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 who received the five talents, having gone, worked 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 who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Pera ano hoki te tangata i nga mea e rua; e rua atu i riro i a ia.
18 and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
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 comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning 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 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.
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 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.
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, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I 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 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.
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 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;
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 having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
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, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
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 It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
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 from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Ko tenei, tangohia te taranata i a ia, hoatu ki tera i nga taranata kotahi tekau.
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;
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 forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the 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 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;
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 will be gathered together before Him, and He will 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 indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
Ka whakaturia e ia nga hipi ki tona matau, ko nga koati ki maui.
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;
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 you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
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 you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you 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 will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave 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 did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
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 did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
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, 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.
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 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)
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 you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing 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 you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after 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 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?
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 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.
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.
