Matthew 25
1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Lino bwami bwakujulu buyokozyanisigwa abasimbi balikkumi bakabweza malampi aabo alimwi bayinka kuyochinga simusa.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Balimusanu baabo bakali bafubafuba alimwi balimusanu bakali basongo.
3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
Aawo basimbi bafubafuba nibakabweza malampi aabo, tebakabweza pe mafuta aabo.
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Pesi basimbi basongo bakabweza mafuta aabo muzibikilo.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Lino simusa wakanonoka, boonse bakaguna alimwi bakoona.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
Pesi akati kabusiku kwakamvwigwa ikongolola, Ámulange, simusa! Amuzwe aanze alimwi mukamuchinge akumutambula.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Éelyo basimbi boonse bakabuka alimwi bayasya malampi aabo.
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
Bafubafuba bakaamba kuti kubasongo, 'mutwabile amwi mafuta aanu nkambo malampi esu azima.'
9 But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there is not enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
'Pesi bo basongo bakasandula kuti, 'mbokunga takotukwanina swebo andinywe, amwinke kuli baabo basambala alimwi mukalyulile eenu nobeni.
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
Áawo nubakachili kukuyowula, simusa wakasika, alimwi aabo bakalibambilide bakayinka aawe kupobwe, alimwi imulyango wakajalwa.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
“Kumane boobu bamwi basimbi abalabo bakaboola alimwi baamba kuti, “Simalelo wesu, Simalelo wesu, tujulile.'
12 But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
“Pesi wakabasandula alimwi wakati, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, tandimuzi pe.
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
Nkinkaako amuchenjele, nkambo tamulizi izuba nikuba ichindi.
14 "For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
“Zyakozyania amwalumi wakali afwifwi akuya munyika iimbi. Wakayita balanda bakwe alimwi wabaabila buvubi bwakwe.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
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 Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
Ooyo wakatambula matalenta alimusanu wakeenda wakubuka akwabelesya mpawo wakabbindawuka ambi alimusanu.
17 In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
Mbuboobo, oyo wakatambwide aabili alakwe wakabbindawuka wajana aambi aabili.
18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Pesi oyo mulanda wakalalimwi wakeenda, wakusya kkomba mulubuwa, alimwi wakasisa mamali asimalelaakwe.
19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
Lino mumazuba simalelo wabalanda aaba boonse wakaboola wazolangalanga myeelwe yabuvubi antomwe ambabo balanda bakwe.
20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained another five talents.'
Mulanda oyo wakatambwide matalenta alimusanu wakaboola alimwi weeta aambi alimusanu. Wakamba kuti, 'Simalelo wangu, Langa, ndakakubbindawuka aambi alimusanu.
21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been 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 "He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'
“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 have been 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 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering 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 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
Ndakayoowa, lino ndakeenda mpawo ndakusiisa talenta munyika. Langa ndeeli lyako ndabozya.
26 "But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather 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 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
Nkiinkaako wakeelede kupa mamali kulibasikulondola, alimwi kukuyobola kwangu ndakati kunobweza aangu antoomwe ayaayo alikunozyalwa.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Nkiinkako amumubwezele talenta alimwi mulipe ooyo mulanda ulamatalenta alikkumi.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Mpawo kuli umwi awumwi weeta zyiingi uyopegwa, alimwi uyooba azyiingi. Pesi kuliyooyo utayeti chintu, uyonyanzigwa nikuba eecho nchajisi.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
Mumubwale mumudima ooyo mulanda utakwe anchabede, omo mulikulila alimwi akuluma ntwino.'
31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
“Eelyo Mwana a Muntu nayoboola mubulemu alimwi abaangelo bakwe boonse, uyokkala achuuno chakwe chabulemu.
32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Kuyobunganisigwa misyobo yoonse, alimwi uyopambula bantu umwi akulumwi, mbuli mwembeli mbwapambula imbelele kuzwa kumpongo.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Uyobika mbelele kuchilisyo chakwe, pesi mpongo kuchimweensi chakwe.
34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom 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 was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
Nkaambo ndakali enzala alimwi mwakandipa chakulya.' ndakali enyota alimwi mwakandipa chakunywa.' ndakali mwenzu alimwi mwakandinjizya mungánda.'
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
ndakali chintanda alimwi mwakandisamika.' ndakali kuchiswa alimwi mwakandisilika.' ndakali mujele alimwi mwakandiswaya.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
Éelyo baluleme bayosandula alimwi kabati, 'Mwami, ndilili nitwakakubona koli enzala alimwi twakakusanina? Nikuba nyota alimwi twakakupa meenda?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
Ndilili nitwakakubona koli mwenzu alimwi twakakutambula akukunjizya? Nikuba chintaanda alimwi twakakusamika?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
Alimwi ndilili nitwakakubona kochiswa nikuba muntolongo alimwi twasika kulinduwe?'
40 "The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
“Eelyo Mwami uyosandula alimwi uyoti kuli mbaabo, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakachitila kumunini wabakwesu, mwakazichitila ndime.'
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (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 was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
nkambo ndakali enzala, pesi temwakandipa pe chakulya; ndakali enyota, pesi temwakandipa pe meenda;
43 I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit 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 also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help 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 he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'
“Eelyo uyobasandula kuti, 'Nchobeni ndamwambila, nzimwakatachitila abo banini babaaba, temwakazichita pe kulindime.'
