< Matthew 25 >

1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun nglamica xa, ami meiim jah ceh lü ca mbumki a na do khaia, citkie üng tängki ni.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
“Mhma cun am cingcai u, akce mhma ta cingcaikie.
3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
“Am cingcaikie cun ami meiim cehpüi u lü meitui um üng am ceheisih u.
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
“Acunsepi, akcinge cun ami meiim üng meitui a bea thea um üng meitui abe ceheisihkie.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“Ca mbumki am pha law nai se, ami van ngam u lü ipeikie.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
“Mthan nglunga, ‘Ca mbumki law ve, law lü do law ua,’ ti lü ngpyang kthai ngthang lawki.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“Nglamica he cun ami van xak law u lü ami mei ime jah pyaneikie.
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
“Am cingcaikie naw, ‘Akcinge üng nami meitui jah pe lawca ua, kami meiim thi law hlü ve’ ami ti.
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.'
“Akcinge naw, ‘Kaa, keimi ja nangmia phäh meitui am khäk hlü ve. Cit lü namimäta phäh va khyäiei ua’ ami ti.
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.
“Acunüng, meitui khyäi khai hea ami va ceh k’um üng, ca mbumki law lü meitui taki he cun am atänga ca mbumnaka jah lutpüi lü ksawh ami khaih u.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
“Acunkäna, nglamica kce he pi law hnga u lü, ‘Bawipa aw, Bawipa aw, lut law hnga vang ung’ ami ti.
12 But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
“Ani naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi am ning jah ksing nawng’ a ti.
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
“Ia kcün ja amhnüp üng Khyanga Capa law be khai ti, am nami ksingkia kya se, a na ngcüngceiei ua.
14 "For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
“Khankhaw Pe cun khyang mat kdunglawng hü khai naw a mpyae jah khü lü a khawhkhyeme jah mceisaki am tängki ni.
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.
“Ami khyaihnak üng ngkäkia, mat üng ngui thawng mhma, mat üng thawng nghngih ja mat üng thawng at cima jah pe hüt lü kdung hüki.
16 Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
“Thawng mhma yahki naw ta cit ktäi lü a ngui cun am kungpang hü lü thawng mhmaa a pungsak.
17 In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
“Acukba bäa thawng nghngih yahki naw pi thawng nghngiha a pungsak.
18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
“Cunüngpi, thawng mat yahki naw ta amahpa ngui cun cehpüi lü mdek k’uma a va cümin.
19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
“Khawvei angsawk käna ami mahpa law be lü a jah pet hüt nguia mawng a jah kthäh.
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.'
“Thawng mhma yahkia mpya naw ta a yaha ngui thawng mhma lawpüi lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, thawng mhma na na pet hüt; tenga, thawng mhma ka yahsih ni’ ti lü a msum be.
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.'
“Amahpa naw, ‘Daw ve, nang hin daw lü sitihkia mpya ni; apica üng na sitihkia kyase, kei naw khawhaha ka ning ap khai ni. Law lü na mahpaa dä ayüma jekyaia’ a ti.
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.'
“Acunüng, thawng nghngih yahki pi law hnga lü a yaha ngui thawng nghngih lawpüi lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, thawng nghngih na na pet hüt; tenga, thawng nghngih ka yahsih ni’ a ti.
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.'
“Amahpa naw, ‘Daw ve, nang hin daw lü sitihkia mpya ni; apica üng na sitihkia kyase, kei naw khawhah ka ning ap khai ni. Law lü na mahpaa dä ayüma jekyaia’ a ti.
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.
“Thawng mat yahki pi law lü, ‘Ka mahpa aw, nang cun na khaki, am na sawnaka na atki, mci am na phuhnakaa pi na mcunki’ ti ka ksingki.
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
“Acunakyase kyühei lü, ka va citki naw mdek k’uma ka k’uhin ni. Tenga, acuna mä se na ka bi bea,” a ti.
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.
“Amahpa naw, ‘Nang mpya kse, mpya kdam! Am ka sawnaka ka atki, mci am ka phuhnaka ka mcunki’ ti na ksingki am niki aw?
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.
“Ka ngui cun ngui cümnak ima jah va kpuki se, ka law be üng ka ngui pung se ka yah be vai sü.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
“Tuh ta, hina veia ngui la be lü ngui thawng xa taki üng pe ua.
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.
“Isetiakyaküng, khawkän yah thei lü taki üng, a tak law dämdäm vaia pet sih vai. Cunüngpi, i pi am ta lü am sui theiki üng, a takca naküt huh be vai.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
“Ia pi am ngmangnaka mpya, anghmüpnak, kpunga va xawt tawn hü ua. Acuia khuikha mpyensetnak am mnicui hakyet lü ve khai,’ ti lü a jah mtheh.
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.
“Khyanga Capa cun Sangpuxanga mäiha a khankhawngsä ngcime am atänga a law be üng, a Bawingawhnak üng ngaw khai.
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.
“A maa, khyang mjü naküt ngcun law khaie. Acunüng toksäm naw a toe mee ksung üngkhyüh a jah mtaia kba khyang mjü naküt cun jah mtai law khai.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
“Khyang ngsungpyune cun a khet da jah ta lü, akce he cun a kcawng da jah ta khai.
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;
“Acunüng, Sangpuxang naw a khet da kae üng, ‘Law ua, ka pa naw dawkyanak am a ning jah kbe, khawmdek angtüi üngkhyüh nami phäha pyan päng Khankhaw Pe cen ka na ua.
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.
‘Ei ka cawi üng na na tumbeiki; tui ka xai üng tui na na peki; Khina ka kya üng pi na ima na na khin naki;
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
‘Suisak kpuma ka ve üng, nami na msuimsaki; am ka phetyai üng, nami na msümcei büktengki; thawng ima ka ve üng pi, ka veia nami lawki he,’ ti law khai.
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?
“Khyang ngsungpyune naw, ‘Bawipa aw, itüh üng ei cawiki se ning hmu u lü, kami ning mbei ni? Itüh üng tui xaiki se tui kami ning tu ni?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
‘Itüh üng, khina kya lü, kami ning khinnak ni? Itüh üng suisak kpuma veki se, kami ning msuimsak ni?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
‘Itüh üng am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, kami ning bükteng law ni? ami ti.
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.'
“Sangpuxang naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina ka hnükläke üngka akdikca säiha khana nami bi naküt cun keia phäh nami bi ni,’ ti law khai.
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)
“Acunkäna, a kcawng da kae üng, ‘Pamhnama yünsenak khameikie aw, Khawyam ja a khankhawngsä hea phäha pyang mulaia ka venak üngkhyüh cit ua. (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;
‘Isetiüng, ei ka cawi üng, ei am na mbei uki; tui xai üng se, awk vai tui am na pe uki;
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.'
‘Khina ka kyak üngpi am nami na khinaki; suisak kpuma ve üng se, am nami na msuimsaki; am ka phetyai lü thawng ima ka um üng pi, am nami na bükteng lawki.’
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?'
“Acunüng, amimi naw, ‘Bawipa aw, itüh üng ei cawi lü, tui ngaih lü, khina kya lü, akpuma na ve, am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, ning hmu u lü, am kami ning kueiki ni?” ti law khaie.
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.'
“Sangpuxang naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina akdikca kuei vai nami hai cun Kei nami na haia kyaki,’ ti lü, jah msang be.
46 These will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life." (aiōnios g166)
“Acunüng, acun he avan angsäia khuikhatnak mulaia cit u se, ngsungpyunkie ta angsäia xünnaka cit khaie” a ti. (aiōnios g166)
