Matthew 25
1 Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun nglamica xa, ami meiim jah ceh lü ca mbumki a na do khaia, citkie üng tängki ni.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
“Mhma cun am cingcai u, akce mhma ta cingcaikie.
3 And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
“Am cingcaikie cun ami meiim cehpüi u lü meitui um üng am ceheisih u.
4 But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
“Acunsepi, akcinge cun ami meiim üng meitui a bea thea um üng meitui abe ceheisihkie.
5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
“Ca mbumki am pha law nai se, ami van ngam u lü ipeikie.
6 And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
“Mthan nglunga, ‘Ca mbumki law ve, law lü do law ua,’ ti lü ngpyang kthai ngthang lawki.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“Nglamica he cun ami van xak law u lü ami mei ime jah pyaneikie.
8 And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out.
“Am cingcaikie naw, ‘Akcinge üng nami meitui jah pe lawca ua, kami meiim thi law hlü ve’ ami ti.
9 The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to 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 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
“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 And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
“Acunkäna, nglamica kce he pi law hnga u lü, ‘Bawipa aw, Bawipa aw, lut law hnga vang ung’ ami ti.
12 But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
“Ani naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi am ning jah ksing nawng’ a ti.
13 Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not 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, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
“Khankhaw Pe cun khyang mat kdunglawng hü khai naw a mpyae jah khü lü a khawhkhyeme jah mceisaki am tängki ni.
15 to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
“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 Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
“Thawng mhma yahki naw ta cit ktäi lü a ngui cun am kungpang hü lü thawng mhmaa a pungsak.
17 And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
“Acukba bäa thawng nghngih yahki naw pi thawng nghngiha a pungsak.
18 But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
“Cunüngpi, thawng mat yahki naw ta amahpa ngui cun cehpüi lü mdek k’uma a va cümin.
19 And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
“Khawvei angsawk käna ami mahpa law be lü a jah pet hüt nguia mawng a jah kthäh.
20 And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
“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 to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou 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 And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
“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 to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou 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 And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
“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 I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, 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 His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
“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 Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its 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 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
“Tuh ta, hina veia ngui la be lü ngui thawng xa taki üng pe ua.
29 For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
“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 cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping 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 And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
“Khyanga Capa cun Sangpuxanga mäiha a khankhawngsä ngcime am atänga a law be üng, a Bawingawhnak üng ngaw khai.
32 And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth 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 place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his 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 blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was 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 was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, 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 I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to 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 say to him: Our 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 to thee?
‘Itüh üng am phetyai lü thawng ima veki se, kami ning bükteng law ni? ami ti.
40 And the king will answer, and say to them: Verily I Say to you, That inasmuch as ye did so to one of these my little brothers, ye did so to me.
“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 also to them on his left hand: Go from me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the Calumniator and his angels, (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 was hungry, and ye gave me no food; and I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
‘Isetiüng, ei ka cawi üng, ei am na mbei uki; tui xai üng se, awk vai tui am na pe uki;
43 and I was a stranger, and ye took me not home; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
‘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 and say: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to 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, and say to them: Verily I say to you, That in as much as ye did not so to one of these little ones, ye did not so to me.
“Sangpuxang naw, ‘Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina akdikca kuei vai nami hai cun Kei nami na haia kyaki,’ ti lü, jah msang be.
