< Matthew 25 >

1 Then, will the kingdom of the heavens become like unto, ten virgins, who, taking their torches, went forth 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 Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent.
“Mhma cun am cingcai u, akce mhma ta cingcaikie.
3 For, the foolish—though they took, their torches, took not with them, oil:
“Am cingcaikie cun ami meiim cehpüi u lü meitui um üng am ceheisih u.
4 But, the prudent, took oil in their vessels, with their torches.
“Acunsepi, akcinge cun ami meiim üng meitui a bea thea um üng meitui abe ceheisihkie.
5 Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.
“Ca mbumki am pha law nai se, ami van ngam u lü ipeikie.
6 And, at midnight, an outcry hath been made—Lo! the bridegroom! Be going forth to meet him!
“Mthan nglunga, ‘Ca mbumki law ve, law lü do law ua,’ ti lü ngpyang kthai ngthang lawki.
7 Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches.
“Nglamica he cun ami van xak law u lü ami mei ime jah pyaneikie.
8 And, the foolish, unto the prudent, said—Give us of your oil, because, our torches, 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 prudent, answered, saying—Lest once, by any means, there be not enough for us and you, be going rather unto them that 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 But, as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and, they who were ready, went in with him, into the marriage-feast, and, the door was locked.
“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 But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying—Lord! Lord! open unto us!
“Acunkäna, nglamica kce he pi law hnga u lü, ‘Bawipa aw, Bawipa aw, lut law hnga vang ung’ ami ti.
12 And, he, answering, said—Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.
“Ani naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi am ning jah ksing nawng’ a ti.
13 Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither 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, just as a man, who, going from home, called his own servants, and delivered up to them his substance;
“Khankhaw Pe cun khyang mat kdunglawng hü khai naw a mpyae jah khü lü a khawhkhyeme jah mceisaki am tängki ni.
15 And, to one, indeed, gave he five talents, and, to another, two, and, to another, one, —to each according to his particular ability, and went from home.
“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 Straightway, he who, the five talents, had received, went and traded with them, and gained other five:
“Thawng mhma yahki naw ta cit ktäi lü a ngui cun am kungpang hü lü thawng mhmaa a pungsak.
17 Likewise, he of the two, gained other two:
“Acukba bäa thawng nghngih yahki naw pi thawng nghngiha a pungsak.
18 But, he who the one had received, went away, and digged up ground, and hid the silver of his lord.
“Cunüngpi, thawng mat yahki naw ta amahpa ngui cun cehpüi lü mdek k’uma a va cümin.
19 And, after a long time, cometh the lord of those servants, and reckoneth with them.
“Khawvei angsawk käna ami mahpa law be lü a jah pet hüt nguia mawng a jah kthäh.
20 And he who the five talents had received, coming forward, brought other five talents, saying, —Lord! five talents, to me, thou didst deliver up: See! other five talents, I gained.
“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 unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant, —Over a few things wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy 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 He also of the two talents, coming forward, said—Lord! two talents, to me, didst thou deliver up: See! other two talents, I gained.
“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 unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant, —Over a few things, wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy 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 But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said—Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown, —and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;
“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 And, overcome with fear, I went away, and hid thy talent in the ground: See! thou hast what is thine!
“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 And his lord, answering, said unto him—O wicked servant, and cowardly, knewest thou that I reap, where I have not sown, and gather, whence I have not winnowed?
“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 It was binding on thee, therefore, to cast my silver into the money-changers, —and, I, when I, came, might have obtained what was mine, 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 Therefore take away, from him, the talent, and give unto him that hath the ten talents;
“Tuh ta, hina veia ngui la be lü ngui thawng xa taki üng pe ua.
29 For, to every one that hath, shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away from him:
“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 And, the unprofitable servant, cast ye forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wailing and gnashing 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, whensoever the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the messengers with him, then will he sit on his throne of glory;
“Khyanga Capa cun Sangpuxanga mäiha a khankhawngsä ngcime am atänga a law be üng, a Bawingawhnak üng ngaw khai.
32 And there will be gathered before him, all the nations, and he will separate them one from another, just as, the shepherd! separateth 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 And he will set, the sheep, indeed, 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, will the king say to those on his right hand: Come ye, the 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 hungered, and ye gave me to eat, I thirsted, and ye gave me drink, a stranger, was I, and ye took me home,
‘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 Naked, and ye clothed me, sick, and ye visited me, in prison, was I, and ye came unto 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, will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord! when, saw we thee—hungry, and fed thee, or thirsty, and gave thee 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 And, when, saw we thee—a stranger, and took thee home, or naked, and clothed thee?
‘Itüh üng, khina kya lü, kami ning khinnak ni? Itüh üng suisak kpuma veki se, kami ning msuimsak ni?
39 And, when, saw we thee—sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
‘Itüh üng am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, kami ning bükteng law ni? ami ti.
40 And, answering, the king will say unto them: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me, ye did it.
“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, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers; (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 hungered, and ye gave me not to eat, [and] I was thirsty, and ye gave me not to drink,
‘Isetiüng, ei ka cawi üng, ei am na mbei uki; tui xai üng se, awk vai tui am na pe uki;
43 A stranger, was I, and ye took me not home, naked, and ye clothed me not, sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
‘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, will, they also, answer, saying: Lord! when saw we thee—hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto thee?
“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, will he answer them, saying: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it not, unto one of these least, neither unto me, did ye it.
“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 And, these, shall go away, into, age-abiding, correction, but, the righteous, into, age-abiding, life. (aiōnios g166)
“Acunüng, acun he avan angsäia khuikhatnak mulaia cit u se, ngsungpyunkie ta angsäia xünnaka cit khaie” a ti. (aiōnios g166)
