Matthew 25
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“Nthawi imeneyo ufumu wakumwamba udzafanizidwa ndi anamwali khumi amene anatenga nyale zawo napita kukakumana ndi mkwati.
2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
Asanu anali opusa ndipo asanu ena anali ochenjera.
3 For the foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them.
Opusawo anatenga nyale zawo koma sanatenge mafuta;
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
koma ochenjerawo anatenga mafuta awo mʼmabotolo pamodzi ndi nyale zawo.
5 And as the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mkwati anachedwa ndipo onse anayamba kusinza nagona.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, Lo! the bridegroom! go out to meet him.
“Pakati pa usiku kunamveka kufuwula kuti, ‘Onani Mkwati! Tulukani kuti mukakumane naye!’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“Pamenepo anamwali onse anadzuka nayatsa nyale zawo.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
Opusawo anati kwa ochenjerawo, ‘Tipatseniko mafuta anu; nyale zathu zikuzima.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
“Ochenjerawo anayankha, nati, ‘Ayi sangakwanire inu ndi ife. Pitani kwa ogulitsa mafuta ndi kukadzigulira nokha.’
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
“Koma pamene ankapita kukagula mafutawo, mkwati anafika. Anamwali amene anali okonzeka aja analowa naye pamodzi mʼnyumba ya phwando la ukwati. Ndipo khomo linatsekedwa.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.
“Pambuyo pake enawo anabwera nati, ‘Ambuye! Ambuye! Titsekulireni!’
12 But he answering said, Truly do I say to you, I know you not,
“Koma iye anayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ine ndikuwuzani kuti sindikukudziwani.’
13 Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
“Choncho khalani odikira, popeza simudziwa tsiku kapena nthawi.”
14 For it will be as when a man going abroad called his own servants, and intrusted to them his property;
“Komanso udzafanizidwa ndi munthu amene ankapita pa ulendo, ndipo anayitana antchito ake nawasiyira chuma chake.
15 and to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability, and went abroad.
Wina anamupatsa ndalama 5,000, kwa wina 2,000 ndi kwa wina 1,000. Aliyense monga mwa nzeru zake. Pamenepo anapita pa ulendo wake.
16 He that had received the five talents went immediately and traded with the same, and gained five talents more.
Munthu amene analandira ndalama 5,000 uja, anapita nthawi yomweyo nachita nazo malonda napindula 5,000 zina.
17 In like manner, he that had received the two gained two more.
Chimodzimodzinso amene analandira 2,000 uja anapindula 2,000 zina.
18 But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Koma munthu amene analandira 1,000 uja, anapita nakumba dzenje nabisapo ndalama ya mbuye wake.
19 And after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
“Patapita nthawi yayitali, mbuye wa antchitowo anabwera nawayitana kuti afotokoze chimene anachita ndi ndalama zija.
20 And he that had received the five talents came and brought five talents more, saying, Lord, thou intrustedst to me five talents; see, I have gained five talents more.
Munthu amene analandira ndalama 5,000 uja anabweretsa 5,000 zina nati, ‘Ambuye munandisungitsa 5,000, taonani ndapindula 5,000 zinanso.’
21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.
“Ambuye ake anayankha nati, ‘Wachita bwino, wantchito wabwino ndi wokhulupirika iwe! Wakhala wokhulupirika pa zinthu zochepa; ndidzakuyika iwe kukhala woyangʼanira zinthu zambiri. Bwera, udzakondwere pamodzi ndi mbuye wako!’
22 He also that had received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou intrustedst to me two talents; see, I have gained two talents more.
“Munthu amene anali ndi ndalama 2,000 uja anabweranso nati, ‘Ambuye munandisungitsa 2,000, onani, ndapindula 2,000 zinanso.’
23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.
“Mbuye wake anayankha nati, ‘Wachita bwino, wantchito wabwino ndi wokhulupirika! Wakhala wokhulupirika pa zinthu zochepa; ndidzakuyika kukhala woyangʼanira zinthu zambiri. Bwera, udzakondwere pamodzi ndi mbuye wako!’
24 Then he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee to be a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter seed;
“Kenaka munthu amene analandira ndalama 1,000 uja anabwera nati, ‘Ambuye ndinadziwa kuti ndinu munthu wowuma mtima, amene mumakolola pamene simunadzale ndi kututa kumene simunafese.
25 and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. See! thou hast thine own.
Choncho ndinachita mantha ndipo ndinapita ndi kukabisa ndalama yanuyo pa dzenje. Onani, si iyi ndalama yanu ija.’
26 But his lord answered and said to him, Wicked and slothful servant! Didst thou know that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter seed?
“Mbuye wake anayankha nati, ‘Iwe wantchito woyipa ndi waulesi! Iwe umadziwa kuti ndimakolola pamene sindinadzale, ndi kututa kumene sindinafese.
27 Thou oughtest then to have put my money with the money-dealers, and on my coming I should have received mine own with interest.
Bwanji sunayike ndalama yanga kwa osunga ndalama kuti ine pobwera ndidzalandire ndalama yangayo pamodzi ndi chiwongoladzanja?
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath the ten talents.
“‘Mulandeni ndalamayo, ndipo patsani iye amene ali ndi ndalama 10,000.
29 For to every one that hath will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath will be taken away.
Pakuti aliyense amene ali nazo adzapatsidwa zambiri, ndipo adzakhala nazo zochuluka. Aliyense amene alibe adzalandidwa ngakhale chimene ali nacho.
30 And cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Ndipo muponyeni wantchito wopanda phinduyu kunja, ku mdima kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.’”
31 And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory,
“Pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wake, pamodzi ndi angelo ake onse, adzakhala pa mpando waufumu mu ulemerero wakumwamba.
32 and before him will be gathered all the nations; and he will separate men one from another, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
Mitundu yonse ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa pamaso pake, ndipo adzawalekanitsa iwo wina ndi mnzake monga mʼbusa amalekanitsa nkhosa ndi mbuzi.
33 and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
Adzayika nkhosa ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi mbuzi ku lamanzere.
34 Then will the king say to those on his right hand, Come, ye blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
“Pamenepo mfumu idzati kwa a ku dzanja lamanja, ‘Bwerani inu odalitsika ndi Atate anga; landirani ufumu umene unakonzedwa chifukwa cha inu kuyambira pachiyambi cha dziko.
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
Pakuti ndinali ndi njala ndipo munandipatsa chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu ndipo munandipatsa madzi akumwa, ndinali mlendo ndipo munandilandira,
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
ndinali wausiwa ndipo munandiveka, ndinali wodwala ndipo munandisamalira, ndinali ku ndende ndipo inu munandiyendera.’
37 Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
“Ndipo olungamawo adzamuyankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala ndipo tinakudyetsani, kapena ludzu ndipo tinakupatsani madzi akumwa?
38 and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Ndi liti tinakuonani muli mlendo ndipo tinakulandirani, kapena wa usiwa ndipo tinakuvekani?
39 or when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and come to thee?
Ndi liti tinakuonani mutadwala kapena ku ndende ndipo tinakuyenderani?’
40 And the king will answer and say to them, Truly do I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it to me.
“Mfumu idzayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene munachitira mmodzi wa abale anga onyozekawa munandichitira Ine.’
41 Then will he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire, which is prepared for the Devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
“Pamenepo adzanena kwa akumanzere kwake kuti, ‘Chokani kwa Ine, inu otembereredwa, pitani ku moto wosatha wokonzedwera mdierekezi ndi angelo ake. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
Pakuti ndinali ndi njala ndipo simunandipatse chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu ndipo simunandipatse madzi akumwa,
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
ndinali mlendo koma inu simunandilandire, ndinali wa usiwa koma simunandiveke, ndinali wodwala komanso ku ndende simunandisamalire.’
44 Then will they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
“Iwo adzayankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala kapena ludzu kapena mlendo kapena wausiwa kapena wodwala kapena mʼndende, ndipo kuti sitinakuthandizeni?’
45 Then will he answer them, saying, Truly do I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
“Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene simunachitire mmodzi wa abale anga onyozekawa simunandichitire Ine.’
