Matthew 25
1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“Kele katema ko, Umwenye wa kwinani chiulandane ni achiŵali likumi ŵaŵajigele ibatali yao, ŵatyosile kwachingamila ambuje ŵa ulombela.
2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Nsano ŵao ŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ni nsano ŵaliji ŵakalamuka.
3 When those who were foolish took their lamps, they did not take oil with them,
Ŵaŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵajigele ibatali yao, nambo nganajigala mauta ga akiba.
4 but the wise took oil in their flasks along with their lamps.
Nambo ŵele ŵaŵaliji ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajigele mauta mu yupa pamo ni ibatali yao.
5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
Pakuŵa ambuje ŵaulombela ŵakaŵile kwika, achiŵali ŵala wose ŵagwesele ni kugona.
6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him.’
Nambo sikati chilo nnope kwapali kunyokonya, ‘Nnole! Ambuje ŵaulombela akwika, njaule nkaachingamile.’
7 Then all the virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
Pelepo achiŵali ŵala wose ŵajimwiche, ŵaiŵisile chile ibatali yao.
8 And the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Ŵele ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵaasalile ŵakalamuka kuti, ‘Mtupe mauta genu kanandi pakuŵa ibatali yetu ikusimika.’
9 But the wise replied, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and for you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
Nambo ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajanjile, ‘Ngagatukwana uwe ni ŵanyamwe! Mmbaya njaule kwa kusumisya nkalisumile mwachinsyene!’
10 But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast. Then the door was shut.
Nipele, ŵele achiŵali ŵakuloŵela wo paŵajawile kusuma mauta, ambuje ŵaulombela ŵaiche, ni achiŵali ŵaŵaliŵisile chile ŵajinjile pamo nawo mu nyuumba ja ulombela ni nnango waugalikwe.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us.’
Kanyuma achiŵali ŵane ŵala ŵaiche, ŵaaŵilasile, ‘Achimwene, achimwene, ntuugulile!’
12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’
Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, ngangummanyilila ŵanyamwe.’”
13 Therefore keep watch, for you do not know the day or the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye, pakuŵa ngankumanyilila lyuŵa atamuno saa pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu.
14 “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
“Pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli mpela mundu jwasachile kwaula ulendo, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakutumichila ŵao ni kwalechela chipanje chakwe.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. And he immediately went on his journey.
Ŵampele kila jumo ichaikombole, jumo maunjili nsano ga mbiya, ni jwine maunjili gaŵili ni jwine liunjili limo, ni ŵajawile.
16 The man who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made five more talents.
Nipele, juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵajawile kukusumisya malonda ni ŵapatile mbiya sine maunjili nsano.
17 In the same way, the man who had received the two talents also earned two more.
Ilaila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili jula, ŵapatile sine maunjili gaŵili.
18 But the man who had received the one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
Nambo jwele juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula, ŵajawile, ni kusola lisimbo paasi, ni ŵasisile mbiya ja achimwene jwao.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
“Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, achimwene jwa ŵakutumichila ŵala ŵausile, ni ŵatandite kuŵalanjila mbiya sisyatumiche ni mbiya sisyapatikene mu mbiya syakwe.
20 The man who had received the five talents came to him and brought the other five talents, saying, ‘Master, yoʋ entrusted me with five talents; behold, I have earned five more talents besides them.’
Katumetume juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵaiche ali ajigele gane nsano, ŵaasalile, ‘Achimwene, mwambele maunjili nsano ga mbiya, nnole, nyonjechesye maunjili gane nsano.’
21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! Yoʋ have been faithful over a few things; I will set yoʋ over many things. Enter into the joy of yoʋr master.’
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
22 The man who had received the two talents also came to him and said, ‘Master, yoʋ entrusted me with two talents; behold, I have earned two more talents besides them.’
“Sooni jwakutumichila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili ŵaiche, ŵatyosisye mbiya sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, mwambele mbiya maunjili gaŵili. Nnole, mbatile sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe.’
23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! Yoʋ have been faithful over a few things; I will set yoʋ over many things. Enter into the joy of yoʋr master.’
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
24 Then the man who had received the one talent came to him and said, ‘Master, I knew that yoʋ were a hard man, reaping where yoʋ did not sow and gathering where yoʋ scattered no seed.
“Nambo juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula ŵaiche, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, nguimanyilila kuti mwe ndi ŵakulimba, mmweji nkugungula pa nganimpande, ni kusonganganya panganimmisa.
25 So I was afraid and went and hid yoʋr talent in the ground. Behold, yoʋ have what is yoʋrs.’
Najogwepe, najisisile mbiya jenu paasi. Nipele njigale mbiya jenu.’
26 But his master answered him, ‘Yoʋ evil and lazy servant! Yoʋ knew, did yoʋ, that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have scattered no seed?
“Achimwene jwao ŵanjanjile, ‘Mwe ndi jwakutumichila jwangalumbana ni jwa ulesi! Nkuumanyilila kuti une ngugungula panganimbande, ni kusonganganya panganimisa.
27 Then yoʋ should have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I came I would have received what is mine with interest.
Nipele yammajile kujiŵika mbiya jangu mu nyuumba ja kugosela mbiya, none pachiiche ngajijigele jajili jangu ni chakonjecheka chakwe!
28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
Munsumule mbiya jo mumpe jwakwete mbiya maunjili likumi.
29 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Pakuŵa, jwali ni chindu chapegwe ni konjechekwa. Nambo jwanganakola chindu, ata chele chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
30 And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Yankati jwakutumichila jwangaikanacho chakonjecheka, mumponye paasa ku chipi! Kweleko chikuŵe ni kulila ni kuchilimya meeno.’”
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, he will sit down on his throne of glory.
“Katema kachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu mu ukulu wakwe ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wose ali pamo nawo, pelepo chachitama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye chachili ni ukulu.
32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose chasongangane mmbujo mwao, nombe chachalekanganya ŵandu mpela ŵakuchinga yakuti pakusilekanganya ngondolo ni mbusi.
33 He will set the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Chaachisiŵika ngondolo yaani ŵandu ŵambone kundyo kwakwe ni mbusi yaani ŵandu ŵangalumbana kunchiji kwakwe.
34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
“Nombe Mwenye chiŵasalile ŵaali ŵa kundyo kwakwe kuti, ‘Njise ŵanyamwe ŵampegwile upile ni Atati ŵangu, mpochele umwenye ŵampanganyichisye chile chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.
35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
Pakuŵa jangwete sala ni ŵanyamwe mwambele chakulya ni jangwete njota ni ŵanyamwe mwambele meesi ni naliji jwannendo ni ŵanyamwe mwambochele mmajumba genu.
36 I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you looked after me; I was in prison, and you came to visit me.’
Naliji matakope, ŵanyamwe mwandakwisye ni naliji jwakulwala ŵanyamwe mwaaiche kukuunola ni naliji jwantawe ŵanyamwe mwanyimajimile.’
37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see yoʋ hungry and feed yoʋ, or thirsty and give yoʋ something to drink?
Pelepo, ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chiŵajanje mwenye kuti, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twambweni ŵa sala ni kumpa chakulya, pane jinkwete njota ni kung'wesya meesi?
38 When did we see yoʋ as a stranger and take yoʋ in, or naked and clothe yoʋ?
Ana chakachi twammweni nli jwannendo ni kumpochela, pane matakope ni kuntakusya?
39 When did we see yoʋ sick or in prison and come to visit yoʋ?’
Chakachi twammweni ndi nkulwala pane jwantawe ni kwika kukunnola?’
40 The King will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Mwenye chiŵajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, chachilichose chimwantendele jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achalongo ŵangu achanandi, mwandendele une.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
“Nipele chiŵasalile ŵele ŵaali kunchiji kwao, ‘Ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe ŵankwete malweso! Njaule ku mooto moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika, wauŵichikwe chile kwa ligongo lya Shetani ni achikatumetume ŵakwe. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and you did not give me anything to eat; I was thirsty, and you did not give me anything to drink;
Pakuŵa jangwete sala nganimumba chakulya, jangwete njota nganimumba meesi.
43 I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; I was naked, and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison, and you did not look after me.’
Naliji jwannendo nganimumbochela mmajumba genu ni panaliji matakope nganimumba nguo ni nalwalaga ni nataŵikwe nganinnyika kukulola.’
44 Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see yoʋ hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not take care of yoʋ?’
“Pelepo nombe chajanje, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twammweni ndi jinkwete sala ni njota, ni ndi jwannendo pane matakope, ni ndi nkulwala pane jwantaŵikwe, nowe nganitunkamusya?’
45 He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to me.’
Mwenye chajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, kila pamwakanaga kumpanganichisya gelega jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achanandi ŵa, mwakanile kuumbanganichisya une.’
