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.
Bokonzi ya Likolo ekozala lokola baseka zomi oyo bakamataki minda na bango mpe bakendeki kokutana na mobali ya libala.
2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Kati na bango, mitano bazalaki bazoba, mpe mitano bazalaki mayele.
3 When those who were foolish took their lamps, they did not take oil with them,
Baseka oyo bazalaki bazoba bakamataki minda na bango, kasi bamemaki mafuta te;
4 but the wise took oil in their flasks along with their lamps.
ba-oyo bazalaki mayele bakamataki minda na bango mpe milangi oyo ezalaki na mafuta kati na yango.
5 When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.
Lokola mobali ya libala azalaki kowumela mpo na kokoma, baseka nyonso wana bayokaki pongi mpe balalaki.
6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him.’
Na ngonga ya midi ya butu, mongongo moko eyokanaki: « Mobali ya libala ayei! Bokende kokutana na ye! »
7 Then all the virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
Baseka nyonso balamukaki mpe babongisaki minda na bango.
8 And the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Baseka oyo bazalaki bazoba balobaki na ba-oyo bazalaki mayele: « Bopesa biso ndambo ya mafuta na bino, pamba te minda na biso ekomi pene ya kokufa. »
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.’
Kasi baseka oyo bazalaki mayele bazongisaki: « Te! Ekokoka te mpo na biso mpe bino! Ebongi nde bokima mbangu epai ya bateki mafuta mpo ete bosomba mafuta na bino moko. »
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.
Wana bazalaki kokende kosomba mafuta, mobali ya libala akomaki: baseka oyo bamilengelaki bakotaki elongo na mobali ya libala kati na ndako oyo basalelaka feti ya libala, mpe bakangaki ekuke.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us.’
Na sima, baseka mosusu mpe bayaki; balobaki: « Nkolo, nkolo, fungolela biso ekuke! »
12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’
Kasi azongiselaki bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: nayebi bino te. »
13 Therefore keep watch, for you do not know the day or the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Boye bosenzela, pamba te boyebi mokolo te, boyebi mpe ngonga te.
14 “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
Ekozala lisusu lokola moto moko oyo, wana akomaki pene ya kokende na mobembo, abengaki basali na ye mpe apesaki bango mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye.
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.
Apesaki na mosali ya liboso batalanta mitano; na mosali ya mibale, batalanta mibale; mpe na mosali ya misato, talanta moko. Apesaki bango yango kolanda makoki ya moko na moko, mpe akendeki na mobembo.
16 The man who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made five more talents.
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mitano abandaki mbala moko kobalola yango na mombongo, mpe mombongo yango ebotaki batalanta mosusu mitano lokola mileki.
17 In the same way, the man who had received the two talents also earned two more.
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mibale asalaki mpe ndenge moko. Mombongo na ye ebotaki batalanta mosusu mibale lokola mileki.
18 But the man who had received the one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
Kasi moto oyo azwaki kaka talanta moko atimolaki libulu kati na mabele mpe abombaki talanta ya nkolo na ye.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
Sima na mikolo ebele, nkolo ya basali wana azongaki mpe alobaki na bango: « Boyebisa ngai ndenge nini bosalelaki bozwi na ngai. »
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.’
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mitano apusanaki mpe amemaki batalanta mitano mosusu oyo azwaki lokola mileki. Alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, opesaki ngai batalanta mitano; tala, nazwi batalanta mitano mosusu lokola mileki. »
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.’
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: « Malamu! Ozali mosali malamu mpe ya sembo. Lokola ozalaki sembo na biloko moke, nakopesa yo mokumba ya kobatela biloko ebele. Yaka kosepela elongo na nkolo na yo. »
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.’
Mosali oyo azwaki batalanta mibale ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, opesaki ngai batalanta mibale; tala, nazwi batalanta mibale mosusu lokola mileki. »
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.’
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: « Malamu! Ozali mosali malamu mpe ya sembo. Lokola ozalaki sembo na biloko moke, nakopesa yo mokumba ya kobatela biloko ebele. Yaka kosepela elongo na nkolo na yo. »
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.
Bongo mosali oyo azwaki talanta moko ayaki mpe alobaki: « Nkolo na ngai, nayebaki ete ozali moto ya matata, obukaka bambuma na elanga oyo olonaki te mpe olokotaka bambuma na esika oyo obwakaki ata nkona moko te.
25 So I was afraid and went and hid yoʋr talent in the ground. Behold, yoʋ have what is yoʋrs.’
Yango wana, nabangaki mpe nakendeki kobomba talanta na yo na se ya mabele. Tala yango oyo, kamata talanta na yo. »
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?
Nkolo na ye azongisaki: « Mosali mabe mpe ya goyigoyi! Lokola oyebaki ete nabukaka bambuma na elanga oyo nalonaki te mpe nalokotaka bambuma na esika oyo nabwakaki ata nkona moko te,
27 Then yoʋ should have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I came I would have received what is mine with interest.
mpo na nini opesaki te talanta na ngai epai ya babombi misolo mpo ete, na bozongi na ngai, nakoka kozwa yango elongo na mileki?
28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
Bobotola ye talanta yango mpe bopesa yango epai ya moto oyo azali na batalanta zomi.
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.
Pamba te, na moto oyo azali na eloko, bakopesa ye lisusu, mpe akokoma na bofuluki; kasi na moto oyo azangi, bakobotola ye ata oyo azali na yango.
30 And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Bongo na oyo etali mosali mabe oyo, bobwaka ye kati na molili ya libanda, epai wapi kolela mpe koswa minu ezali. »
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.
Tango Mwana na Moto akoya kati na nkembo na Ye elongo na ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso, akovanda na Kiti ya Bokonzi na Ye ya nkembo.
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.
Bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekosangana liboso na Ye. Bongo akokabola bango na masanga mibale ndenge mobateli bibwele akabolaka bameme mpe bantaba:
33 He will set the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
akotia bameme na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali, mpe bantaba, na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi.
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.
Sima na yango, Mokonzi akoloba na bato oyo bakozala na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali: « Boya, bino bato oyo Tata na Ngai apambola, bokamata libula na bino, Bokonzi oyo babongisela bino wuta mokili ekelama.
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;
Pamba te nayokaki nzala, mpe bopesaki Ngai bilei; nayokaki posa ya mayi, mpe bopesaki Ngai mayi ya komela; nazalaki mopaya, mpe boyambaki Ngai malamu;
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.’
nazalaki bolumbu, mpe bolatisaki Ngai bilamba; nabelaki, mpe bosungaki Ngai; nakotaki na boloko, mpe boyaki kotala Ngai. »
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?
Bongo, bato ya sembo bakoloba na Ye: « Nkolo, tango nini tomonaki Yo na nzala mpe topesaki Yo bilei; tango nini tomonaki na posa ya mayi, mpe topesaki yo mayi ya komela?
38 When did we see yoʋ as a stranger and take yoʋ in, or naked and clothe yoʋ?
Tango nini tomonaki Yo mopaya, mpe toyambaki Yo malamu; tango nini ozalaki bolumbu, mpe biso tolatisaki Yo?
39 When did we see yoʋ sick or in prison and come to visit yoʋ?’
Tango nini tomonaki Yo kobela to kati na boloko mpe toyaki kotala Yo? »
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.’
Mokonzi akozongisela bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: eloko nyonso oyo bosalaki mpo na moko kati na bandeko na Ngai, oyo bazali bato pamba, boyeba malamu ete bosalaki yango nde epai na Ngai. »
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)
Bongo akoloba na bato oyo bakozala na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mwasi: « Bokende mosika na Ngai, bino bato oyo Nzambe alakela mabe; bokende na moto ya libela na libela, oyo ebongisama mpo na Satana elongo na ba-anjelu na ye. (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;
Pamba te nayokaki nzala, kasi bopesaki Ngai bilei te; nayokaki posa ya mayi, kasi bopesaki Ngai te mayi ya komela;
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.’
nazalaki mopaya, kasi boyambaki Ngai malamu te epai na bino; nazalaki bolumbu, kasi bolatisaki Ngai te; nabelaki mpe nakotaki na boloko, kasi bosungaki Ngai te. »
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?’
Bango mpe bakotuna Ye: « Nkolo, tango nini tomonaki Yo na nzala to na posa ya mayi; tango nini tomonaki Yo mopaya, ozangi bilamba, ozali kobela to okoti na boloko, bongo tosungaki Yo te? »
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.’
Akozongisela bango: « Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: eloko nyonso oyo bosalaki te mpo na moko kati na bato pamba oyo, boyeba malamu ete bozangaki nde kosala yango epai na Ngai. »
