Matthew 25
1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo ka tshwants-hiwa ka polelo ya makgarebana a a some a a neng a tsaya dipone tsa one a ya go kgatlhantsha monyadi.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mme ba le batlhano fela ba bone ba ne ba nna botlhale go tlatsa dipone tsa bone lookwane, fa ba bangwe ba batlhano ba ne ba dira boeleele ba lebala go dira jalo.
3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“Mme ya re monyadi a diega, ba nna fa fatshe go itapolosa go fitlhelela bosigogare fa ba thantshiwa ke mokgosi o o reng, ‘Monyadi o e tla! Tswelang kwa ntle lo mo amogeleng.’
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“Basetsana botlhe ba phaphama ba baakanya dipone tsa bone. Mme, ba batlhano ba ba neng ba sena lookwane ba kopa ba bangwe go ba thelela lookwane gonne dipone tsa bone di ne di tima.
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you. Go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
“Mme ba bangwe ba fetola ba re, ‘ga re na lookwane lo lo lekanyeng. Tsamayang lo ye kwa mabentleleng lo ye go ithekela.’
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.
“Mme ya re ba sa ntse ba tsamaile monyadi a goroga mme ba ba neng ba ipaakantse ba tsena nae mo modirong wa lenyalo, mme kgoro ya tswalwa.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
Morago fa ba bangwe ba batlhano ba boa, ba nna kwa ntle ba bitsa ba re, ‘Morena Morena, re bulele!’
12 But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
“Mme a fetola a re ‘Tsamayang! nako e setse e fetile!’
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
“Jalo nnang lo itisitse lo ipaakantse, gonne ga lo itse letsatsi kgotsa lobaka lwa go boa ga me.”
14 "For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
“Gape, Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo ka tshwantshiwa ka polelo ya monna yo o kileng a ya kwa lefatshing lengwe, yo o neng a bitsa batlhanka ba gagwe mme a ba neela madi go a mo atisetsa a sa ntse a seyo.
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.
A neela wa ntlha madi a selekanyo sa ditalenta di le tlhano, yo mongwe a mo neela ditalenta di le pedi, mme wa bofelo a mo neela talenta e le nngwe fela, a a kgaoganya ka fa nonofong ya bone, mme hong a simolola loeto lwa gagwe.
16 Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
“Monna yo o amogetseng ditalenta di le tlhano a simolola go reka a rekisa mme a dira lesome.
17 In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
Monna yo o tshotseng ditalenta tse pedi a tlhamalalela kwa tirong, le ene a dira ditalenta tse pedi tse dingwe.
18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
“Mme monna yo o amogetseng talenta e le nngwe a e epela mosima a e fitlha mo teng gore e bolokesege.
19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
Morago ga nako e telele monnga-bone a boa mo loetong lwa gagwe, mme a ba biletsa kwa go ene go arabela madi a gagwe.
20 And 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.'
Monna yo o neng a mo neetse ditalenta di le tlhano a mo neela ditalenta di le some.
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.'
Monngagwe a mo akgolela tiro e ntle eo. A mo raya a re o ikanyegile mo go bolokeng bonnyennyane jo, jalo he ke tlaa go naya thata mo dilong di le dintsi. Tla o tlhakanele le nna boitumelo jwa me.”
22 "And he also who had the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'
“Lwa bobedi ga tla monna yo a neng a amogetse ditalenta di le pedi ka polelo e e reng, ‘Morena, o nneetse ditalenta di le pedi go di dirisa, mme ke menagantse gabedi.’
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.'
“Monngagwe a mo raya a re, ‘O dirile tiro e ntle, O motlhanka yo o siameng yo o ikanyegang. O ntse o ikanyega mo go bolokeng bonnyennyane jo, mme jaanong ke go neela go le gontsi.’
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.
Hong monna yo o tshotseng talenta e le nngwe a tla mme a re, ‘Morena ke go itse o le motho yo o pelo e thata, mme ke ne ka tshaba gore o tlaa ntseela se ke se boneng ka go atisa madi, jalo ka fitlha madi a gago mo mmung, mme ke a!’
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
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.
Mme monngagwe a fetola a re, ‘Motlhanka yo o bosula! Lekgoba le le setshwakga! Ka o no o itse ke tlaa batla ga mofufutso wa phatla ya gago,
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.
O ka bo bogolo o ne wa baya madi a me mo polokelong gore ke tle ke bone morokotso wa one
28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Tsayang madi a mo monneng yo lo a neele monna yo o nang le ditalenta di le some.
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.
Gonne motho yo o dirisang se a se neetsweng sentle o tlaa neelwa go le go tona, mme o tlaa nna le letlotlo, mme motho yo o sa ikanyegeng, le e leng tshwanelo e potlana e a nang nayo e tlaa tsewa mo go ene.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
Mme fa e le motlhanka yo o senang molemo yo o tlaa latlhelwa kwa ntle mo lefifing kwa go tlaa nnang selelo le khuranyo ya meno.’
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.
“Mme fa nna Morwa Motho ke tla mo kgalalelong ya me, le baengele botlhe ba na le nna, ke tlaa nna mo setulong sa me sa kgalalelo.
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.
Mme dichaba tsotlhe di tlaa phuthelwa fa pele ga me. Mme ke tlaa kgaoganya batho jaaka modisa a kgaoganya dinku le dipudi;
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Ke baya dinku ka fa lebogong le legolo, dipudi ka fa go la molema.
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;
“Hong nna Kgosi ke tlaa raya ba ba ka fa lebogong la me le legolo ke re, ‘Tlang, basegofadiwa ba ga Rre mo Bogosing jo lo bo baakanyeditsweng go tsweng kwa tlholegong ya lefatshe.
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.
Gonne ke ne ka bolawa ke tlala mme lwa mpha dijo; ke ne ka nyorwa mme lwa nnosa; ke ne ka nna moeng mme lwa ntaletsa mo malwapeng a lona;
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
“Ke ne ke sa apara mme lwa nkapesa; ke ne ke lwala ka ba ka nna mo kgolegelong, mme lwa tla go ntlhola.’
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?
“Hong basiami ba tlaa fetola ba re, ‘Morena re kile ra go bona leng o bolailwe ke tlala mme ra go fa dijo? Kgotsa o nyorilwe mme ra go nosa?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
Kgotsa o le moeng mme ra go thusa? Kgotsa o sa apara mme ra go apesa?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
Re kile ra go bona leng o lwala kgotsa o le mo kgolegelong mme ra go etela?’
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.'
“Mme nna Kgosi, ke tlaa lo raya ke re, ‘E rile fa lo go direla’ bakaulengwe ba, lwa bo lo go ntirela!
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)
Hong ke tlaa gadimela ka fa go ba ba fa molemeng wa me ke re, ‘Tlong, lona ba lo hutsegileng, lo yeng kwa molelong o o sa khutleng, o o baakanyeditsweng diabolo le mewa e e maswe. (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;
Gonne ke ne ka bolawa ke tlala mme lwa seka lwa mpha dijo; ka nyorwa mme lwa seka lwa nneela le fa e le sepe go se nwa.
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.'
Ka nna moeng mme lwa seka lwa ntshola; ke ne ke sa apara mme ga lo a ka lwa nkapesa; ka lwala, ka ba ka nna mo kgolegelong ga lo a ka lwa tla go ntlhola.’
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?'
“Hong ba tlaa fetola ba re ‘Morena, re kile ra go bona leng o bolailwe ke tlala kgotsa o tshwerwe ke lenyora kgotsa o le moeng kgotsa o sa apara kgotsa o lwala kgotsa o le mo kgolegelong mme ra se ka ra go thusa?’
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.'
“Mme ke tlaa araba ke re, ‘E rile fa lo gana go direla bakaulengwe ba ba botlana ba, lo no lo gana go direla nna.’
