Matthew 25
1 ‘Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
“Konsa, Wayòm syèl la tankou dis vyèj ki te pran lanp yo pou soti e rankontre jennonm k ap marye a.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
Senk nan yo te manke sajès, men lòt senk yo te gen bon konprann.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
Lè sila ki manke sajès yo te pran lanp yo, yo pa t pran lwil avèk yo.
4 while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
Men saj yo te pran lwil nan veso ansanm avèk lanp yo.
5 As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
Konsa, pandan jennonm nan t ap pran reta, yo tout te vin fatige, e dòmi te pran yo.
6 But at midnight a shout was raised – “The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!”
“Men a minwi, te gen yon gwo kri: ‘Men gade, jennonm k ap marye a parèt! Vin rankontre li.’
7 Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
“Alò, tout vyèj sa yo te leve pou prepare lanp pa yo.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent “Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.”
Men sila ki pa t saj yo te di a sila ki te pridan yo: ‘Bannou kèk nan lwil pa nou an, paske lanp nou yo ap etenn.’
9 But the prudent ones answered “No, There may not be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy for yourselves.”
“Men saj yo te reponn: ‘Non, pwiske si nou fè sa, nou p ap rete kont pou nou. Pito nou ale kote machann pou nou achte pou tèt nou.’
10 But while they were on their way to buy it, the groom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.
“Konsa, pandan yo t ap pral achte, jennonm nan te vin parèt e sila ki te prepare yo te antre avè l nan fèt maryaj la. Epi pòt la te vin fèmen.
11 Afterwards the other bridesmaids came. “Sir, Sir,” they said, “open the door to us!”
“Pita lòt vyèj yo te vini. Yo te di: ‘Senyè, Senyè, louvri pòt la pou nou.
12 But the groom answered “I tell you, I do not know you.”
“Men li te reponn yo konsa: ‘Anverite mwen di nou, mwen pa rekonèt nou.’
13 Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
“Pou sa, fè atansyon, paske nou pa konnen ni jou, ni lè.
14 ‘For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
“Konsa, li menm jan avèk yon nonm ki fenk pare pou fè yon vwayaj. Li rele esklav li yo, e konfye tout sa li posede nan men yo menm.
15 He gave five bags of gold to one, two to another, and one bag to a third, in proportion to the ability of each. Then he set out on his travels.
A youn li te bay senk talan (yon gwo sòm dajan) a yon lòt de, e a yon lòt, youn, selon kapasite ke chak te genyen. Epi li te sòti pou fè vwayaj la.
16 The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
Imedyatman, sila ki te resevwa senk talan yo te fè afè avèk yo, e te ranmase yon lòt senk talan anplis.
17 So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
“Menm jan an, sila ki te resevwa de talan yo te vin jwenn de lòt.
18 But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
Men sila ki te resevwa yon sèl talan an te ale fouye yon twou nan tè pou te sere lajan mèt li.
19 After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
“Apre anpil tan, mèt a esklav sa yo te vini pou te regle kont avèk yo.
20 The servant who had received the five bags of gold came up and brought five bags more. “Sir,” he said, “you entrusted me with five bags of gold; look, I have made another five bags!”
Sila ki te resevwa senk talan yo te vin pote li avèk yon lòt senk talan ankò, epi te di: ‘Mèt, ou te fè m konfyans ak senk talan. Ou wè, mwen fè l rapòte senk talan anplis.’
21 “Well done, good, trustworthy servant!” said his master. “You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!”
“Mèt li te di li: ‘Byen fèt, bon e fidèl sèvitè. Ou te fidèl avèk yon ti kras bagay. M ap fè ou responsab anpil bagay. Antre nan lajwa a mèt ou.’
22 Then the one who had received the two bags of gold came up and said “Sir, you entrusted me with two bags pounds; look, I have made another two!”
“Sila ki te resevwa de talan yo te vini epi te di: ‘Mèt, ou te fè m konfyans ak de talan. Ou wè, mwen fè l rapòte de talan anplis.’
23 “Well done, good, trustworthy servant!” said his master. “You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!”
“Mèt li te di li: ‘Byen fèt, bon sèvitè fidèl la. Ou te fidèl avèk yon ti kras bagay. M ap fè ou responsab anpil bagay. Antre nan lajwa a mèt ou.’
24 The man who had received the single bag of gold came up, too, and said “Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;
“Konsa, sila osi ki te resevwa yon sèl talan an te vini e te di: ‘Mèt, mwen te byen konprann ke ou menm se te yon mèt ki di; ke ou rekòlte kote ou pa plante, e ranmase kote ou pa simen.
25 and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!”
Epi mwen te krent, e te ale sere talan an nan tè. Gade byen, ou twouve sa ki pou ou a.’
26 “You lazy, worthless servant!” was his master’s reply. “You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather up where I have not winnowed?
“Men mèt li te reponn li e te di: ‘Esklav malveyan e parese! Ou te konnen ke mwen rekòlte kote mwen pa plante, e ranmase kote mwen pa simen.
27 Then you ought to have placed my money in the hands of bankers, and I, on my return, should have received my money, with interest.
Pou sa, ou te dwe mete kòb mwen an labank pou lè m rive mwen ta kapab resevwa l avèk enterè.
28 Therefore,” he continued, “take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
“Konsa, retire talan an nan men li, epi bay li a sila a ki gen dis talan yo.
29 For, to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but, as for him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Paske a sila a ki genyen an, l ap resevwa plis e l ap gen an abondans, men pou sila a ki pa genyen an, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men l.
30 As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
Voye esklav initil sila a nan fon tenèb, nan plas kote ap genyen kriye ak manje dan.’
31 ‘When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory;
“Men lè Fis a Lòm nan vini nan tout glwa Li avèk tout zanj Li yo, Li va chita sou twòn glwa pa Li a.
32 and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
Tout nasyon yo va rasanble devan Li. E Li va separe yo youn de lòt, kon yon gadyen patiraj separe mouton avèk kabrit.
33 placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
Konsa, l ap mete mouton yo adwat li, e kabrit yo agoch Li.
34 Then the king will say to those on his right “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter into possession of the kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.
“Epi Wa la va di a sila ki adwat li yo: ‘Vini, nou menm ki beni pa Papa m; eritye wayòm nan ki te prepare pou nou depi fondasyon mond lan.
35 For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes;
Paske Mwen te grangou, e nou te ban M bagay pou M manje. Mwen te swaf, e nou te ban M bwè. Mwen te yon etranje, e nou te envite M antre,
36 when I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.”
Mwen te touni, e nou te ban M rad. Mwen te malad e nou te vizite M. Mwen te nan prizon e nou te vin kote M.
37 Then the righteous will answer “Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
“Epi jis yo ap di Li: ‘Senyè, kilè nou te wè Ou grangou e te bay Ou manje, ni swaf pou te bay Ou bwè?
38 When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
Epi kilè nou te wè Ou yon etranje, epi envite Ou antre, oubyen touni pou te bay Ou rad?
39 When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?”
Epi kilè nou te wè Ou malad, e te vizite Ou; oubyen nan prizon pou te vizite Ou?’
40 And the king will reply “I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my brothers or sisters, however unimportant they seemed, you did it to me.”
“Konsa, wa a va reponn yo: ‘Anverite, Mwen di nou menm jan ke nou te fè li a youn nan frè Mwen yo, nou te fè l a Mwen menm tou.’
41 Then he will say to those on his left “Go from my presence, accursed, into the permanent fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
“Apre Li va di a sila ki agoch Li yo: ‘Sòti sou Mwen, nou menm ki modi, pou ale nan dife etènèl ki te prepare pou Satan avèk zanj li yo a. (aiōnios g166)
42 For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
Paske Mwen te grangou, men nou te refize ban M manje. Mwen te swaf, e nou pa t ban M bwè.
43 when I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.”
Mwen te yon etranje, e nou pa t envite M antre, touni, e nou pa t ban M rad, nan prizon e nou pa t vizite M.
44 Then they, in their turn, will answer “Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?”
“Alò yo menm va reponn: ‘Senyè, kilè nou te wè Ou grangou, oswa swaf, oswa yon etranje, touni, malad oubyen nan prizon, e nou pa t okipe Ou?’
45 And then he will reply “I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however unimportant, you failed to do it to me.”
“Konsa L ap reponn yo: ‘Anverite Mwen di nou, menm jan ke nou pa t fè li pou youn nan pi piti nan sa yo, nou pa t fè l pou Mwen tou.’
