Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth 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 And 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 tarried, 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 is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth 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 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that 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 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that 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 come also the other virgins, 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 and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
“Mme a fetola a re ‘Tsamayang! nako e setse e fetile!’
13 Watch therefore, for ye know not 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] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
“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 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and 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 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other 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 also that [received] the two gained other two.
Monna yo o tshotseng ditalenta tse pedi a tlhamalalela kwa tirong, le ene a dira ditalenta tse pedi tse dingwe.
18 But he that received the one went away and digged 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 cometh, and maketh a reckoning 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 that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
Monna yo o neng a mo neetse ditalenta di le tlhano a mo neela ditalenta di le some.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy 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 that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other 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 unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy 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 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst 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 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26 But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, 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 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine 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 ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
Tsayang madi a mo monneng yo lo a neele monna yo o nang le ditalenta di le some.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall 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 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing 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 shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he 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 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth 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 and he shall 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 shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye 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 an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye 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 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto 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 shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee 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 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Kgotsa o le moeng mme ra go thusa? Kgotsa o sa apara mme ra go apesa?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Re kile ra go bona leng o lwala kgotsa o le mo kgolegelong mme ra go etela?’
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto 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 shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal 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 an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye 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 ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
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 shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
“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 shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto 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.’
