Matthew 25
1 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
Igbuchu shulu ani he to mrli mba wlon wa ba vu ba fitila mba nda hi kpa ilon wa sa.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
Iton ni mi mba ba he toh, u ton ba na ruru.
3 The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
Niwa ruru mrli mbaa ba vu ba fitila mba nda na nji babran na.
4 while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
U mrli mba bi hr to ha baka nji nye u ba fitila mba mla.
5 As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
Ilon wasa ana ciciye na u baka ri druna hi mla ka kurna.
6 But at midnight a shout was raised – ‘The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
U ni tsutsu cuu baka dbu 'Lilon wasa ye'ye! Rju hi kpau.
7 Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
U mrli mba wa wumba wu baka wlunde nda mla ba fitila mbo tie.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
Bi ruru ba ba hla ni bi he to ha tie nye mbia nno ndu ba fitila mbu na khwu na.
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.’
“Bi he to h'a ba saa ni bawu inye a natsra tawu yayi na bika hi ni bi lenye'a ndi le u mbi.
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.
Waa ba hi le'nye'a, u ilon wasaa ri ubiwa bana mla ki gben'a ba rihu hi ni bubu lo gran u baka tro nkon traa.
11 Afterward the other bridesmaids came. ‘Sir, Sir,’ they said, ‘open the door to us!’
Imrli mba ba rima baka ye ni kogon nda tre Tiekoh, tiekoh, bwu nkon'a ni tawu!
12 But the groom answered ‘I tell you, I do not know you.’
A saa ni bawu, 'Njanjimu mi hla yiwu mina toh yi na.
13 Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
To kima bika mla ki ni tu wa bina toh vi ka nton'a na.
14 “For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
Ahe towa indji ri ta hi ni meme ri. A yo ba mrli koh ma nda nno ba kpyi ma.
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 nno ri mba talenti ton nda nno iha nda la nno ri ngame talenti iri.
16 The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
Iwaa a kpa talenti ton a agbla hi nda ka tie ndu ni mba nda fe talenti ton bari ni tuma.
17 So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
U wa a kpa harli'a a tie tokima me nda fe ha bari nha.
18 But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
Se waa a kpa talenti ri'a hi kpama nda shi juju ni meme nda ri nklen tie koh ma.
19 After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
Tie koh mba aka son ban nton babran rlikoh nda k'ma ye ndu mrli koh maa ndu bla nklen ba nno.
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!’
Ivren koh wa akpa talenti ton'a a nji u ma ni talenti ton wa a hon'a nhaa nda tre, Tiekah mu, u ne talenti ton to yi mi fe talenti ton bari nhaa'
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!’
“Tiekoh ma a hlawu, u toh tie, vrenkoh ndindi ni u kponji! U tie njanji ni kpyi fyi me, mi yowu nji ikpyi gbugbuwu. Rihi ni takpe u tiekoh me'.
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!’
Ivren koh wa' a kpa talenti ha'a ye nda tre 'Tiekoh, u'ne talenti ha, Toyi, mi fe talenti ha bari nhaa'.
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!’
Tiekohma a hla wu, “u toh tie, vrenkoh ndindi ni u kponji! U tie njanji ni kpyi fyi me. mi yo wu ndu nji ikpyi gbugbuwu. Ri ni mi takpye tiekoh me.
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;
U vrenkoh waa kpa talenti ri'a ye nda tre, Tiekoh, mitoh ndi u ndi wa ana tie ro na. U can ni wrji wa una cu'a na ndi ni vu ni wrji wa una hii na.
25 and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!’
Mi klu sisri ndi nji talenti mea ka ri ni mi meme. Toyi kpa kpye wa u mea.
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?
U tie koh ma ka saa niwu nda tre, u vrenkoh u' ridrii wa ani tie sankon'a, u toh ndi mi can ni ivrji wa mina cu'a na ndi ni vu ni wrji wa mina hii na.
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.
Una ka nklen mu'a nno banki to mina kmaye nii ka kpa kpye mu nha' ni wa a hon'a.
28 Therefore,’ he continued, ‘take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
Ni tu kima, vu kpa talenti u wo ma ka nno u talenti wlon'a.
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.
Ahi wa ahe wu'a bala nno nhaa gbugbuwu kahewu vlalala me. U wa nda na he ni kpye na ikpye wa umaa ba vu kpa.
30 As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
Vu vrenkoh u ridri yi wa ana hi ndu kpyeri tayo ni wrji u kplakpakpa bwu wa ani yi nda tan nyinyren'a.
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;
Niwa Ivren Ndji ni ye ni mi (he ma u kpan) ni malaiku ba wawuu, ani son ni kpancima u (daraja).
32 and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
Ba vu bi kohra ba wawuu ziwu k'bu ma wani ga ndi ni yiyri towa ani ho n'ma bi koh ni ga nt'matie kan ni ba yawo.
33 placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
Ani zi ntma ba ni wo korli na u yawo ba ni woma ko'ta.
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.
U chu'a ni hla ni bi wo korli ma 'Ye biyi wa Tiemu tie luluni yiwu'a rini gbuchu wa be tie zi yiwu guci ni tie ngbungblua.
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;
Iyon a tie me u bika ne rli hlan ma atie me u bika ne ma miso; mi ye tsri u bika kpame ri kohmbi,
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.’
I he gbyre u bika sru nklon nimu milo u bika toh tie mu; mi he tro u bika zren yi ni me.
37 Then the righteous will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
U bi tsratsra ba saa nda tre, 'Baci ani tanyi ki toh wu si tie yon ndi nno wu rli? Ka tie hlan ma ndi nno wu so?
38 When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
Ni tanyi ki toh wu ndji u tsri ndi kpau? Ka ni gbyre ndi nnowu nklon?
39 When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?’
Nitanyi ki toh wu si lo ka nitro ndi ye niwu?
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.’
U chua ni saa nda tre Njanjimu mi hla yiwu ikpye'a bi tie ni ri wa zan tsi tsa me ni mi mrli vayi mu biyi a, bi tie nimu.
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)
Wa ni hla ni bi wo kota ma, Cbi dinkon mu wayi, biyi wa ba lanyu yiwu'a, hiri ni ilu u kakle wa ba tie ni brji ni malaiku ma. (aiōnios g166)
42 For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
Ni tu wa iyon a tie me u bika na rlina hlan ma tie ma bika na ne so na.
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.’
Mi ye tsri u bika na kpame na mi he gbyre bika na ne nklon sru na ndi lo ndi he tro u bina tie kpye muna.
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?’
U ba saa ngame nda tre, Baci ani tanyi kie toh ni yon ka hlan ma ka ndji u tsri ka ni gbyre ka ni lilo, ka ni tro, u kie kana tie kpye wu na?
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.’
U ani saa ni bawu nda tre Njanjimu mi hla yiwu, ikpye wa bi na tie ni ri wa a zan fyime u mrli vayi mu na bina tie nimu na.
