Matthew 25
1 [Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
Unya ang gingharian sa langit mahisama sa napulo ka mga ulay nga nagdala sa ilang mga suga ug miadto aron mosugat sa pamanhonon.
2 Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
Ang lima kanila mga buang-buang ug ang lima maalamon.
3 The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
Kay sa dihang ang buang-buang nga mga ulay midala sa ilang mga suga, wala sila modala ug dugang lana uban kanila.
4 But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
Apan ang maalamon nga mga ulay midala ug mga sudlanan sa lana uban sa ilang mga suga.
5 The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
Karon samtang ang pamanhonon nalangan, nagduka silang tanan ug nakatulog.
6 In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
Apan sa tungang gabii adunay usa ka singgit, 'Tan-awa, ang pamanhonon! Gawas ug sugata siya.'
7 So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
Unya kadtong tanan nga mga ulay mibangon ug mipasiga sa ilang mga suga.
8 The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
Ang mga buang-buang miingon ngadto sa mga maalamon, 'Hatagi kami ug pipila sa inyong lana tungod kay ang among mga suga mapalong na.'
9 The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
Apan ang mga maalamon mitubag ug miingon, 'Sanglit dili na paigo alang kanamo ug kaninyo, lakaw hinuon niadtong namaligya ug pagpalit sa pipila alang sa inyong mga kaugalingon.'
10 But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
Samtang nangadto sila aron mamalit, miabot na ang pamanhonon, ug kadtong nakaandam mikuyog kaniya didto sa kombira sa kasal, ug ang pultahan gisirad-an.
11 Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
Human niini miabot usab ang uban nga mga ulay ug miingon, 'Agalon, agalon, ablihi kami.'
12 But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
Apan mitubag siya ug miingon, 'Sa pagkatinuod mosulti ako kaninyo, nga wala ako makaila kaninyo.'
13 [Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
Busa pagbantay, kay wala kamo masayod sa adlaw o sa takna.
14 “[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
Kay sama kini sa usa ka tawo nga moadto sa laing nasod. Gitawag niya ang iyang kaugalingong mga sulugoon ug gihatag ngadto kanila ang iyang katigayonan.
15 He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
Ang usa kanila gihatagan niya ug lima ka talento, sa laing usa gihatagan niya ug duha, ug ang laing usa gihatagan niya ug usa ka talento. Ang matag-usa nakadawat sa kantidad sumala sa iyang kaugalingong katakos, ug kanang tawhana miadto na sa iyang panaw.
16 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
Dihadiha ang usa nga nakadawat sa lima ka talento milakaw ug nagpatigayon kanila, ug nakaangkon pa sa laing lima ka talento.
17 Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
Sa samang paagi ang usa nga nakadawat sa duha ka talento nakaangkon ug laing duha.
18 But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
Apan ang sulugoon nga nakadawat sa usa ka talento milakaw palayo, nagkalot ug bangag sa yuta, ug gitago ang salapi sa iyang agalon.
19 After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
Karon pagkahuman sa taas nga panahon mibalik ang agalon niadtong mga sulugoon ug nakighusay uban kanila.
20 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
Ang sulugoon nga nakadawat sa lima ka talento miabot ug nagdala usab sa laing lima ka talento, miingon siya, 'Agalon, gihatagan mo ako ug lima ka talento. Tan-awa, nakabuhat pa ako ug dugang lima ka talento.'
21 His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
Ang iyang agalon miingon kaniya, 'Maayong pagkabuhat, buotan ug matinud-anon nga sulugoon! Nagmatinud-anon ka sa pipila ka mga butang. Tugyanan ko ikaw sa mas daghan pa nga mga butang. Sulod didto sa kalipay sa imong agalon.'
22 The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
Ang sulugoon nga nakadawat sa duha ka talento miabot ug miingon, 'Agalon, gihatagan mo ako ug duha ka talento. Tan-awa, nakabuhat ako ug dugang pang duha ka talento.'
23 His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
Ang iyang agalon miingon kaniya, 'Maayong pagkabuhat, buotan ug matinud-anon nga sulugoon! Nagmatinud-anon ka man sa pipila ka mga butang. Tugyanan ko ikaw sa mas daghan pa nga mga butang. Sulod didto sa kalipay sa imong agalon.'
24 Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
Unya ang sulugoon nga nakadawat sa usa ka talento miabot ug miingon, Agalon, nasayod ako nga ikaw usa ka istrikto nga tawo. Nagaani ikaw sa wala mo gitanom, ug nagaani ka sa wala mo gisabwag.
25 So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
Nahadlok ako, busa nagpalayo ako ug gitagoan ang imong talento sa yuta. Tan-awa, ania dinhi ang alang kanimo.'
26 His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
Apan mitubag ang iyang agalon ug miingon kaniya, 'Daotan ka ug tapolan nga sulugoon, nasayod ka nang daan nga ako nag-ani sa wala nako gitanom ug nagaani sa wala nako gisabwag.
27 So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
Busa gihatag mo unta ang akong salapi ngadto sa mga maninipig, ug sa akong pagbalik madawat ko unta pagbalik ang akoa uban ang ginansiya.
28 [Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
Busa kuhaa ang talento gikan kaniya ug ihatag kini ngadto sa sulugoon nga adunay napulo ka talento.
29 To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
Kay niadtong tanan nga nakaangkon, pagahatagan pa—ug madagayaon pa gayod. Apan gikan sa tanan nga wala makaangkon sa bisan unsa nga butang, pagakuhaon bisan unsa nga anaa kaniya.
30 Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
Ilabay ang walay pulos nga sulugoon didto sa gawas nga mangitngit, diin didto adunay paghilak ug pagkagot sa mga ngipon.'
31 “When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
Sa dihang moabot ang Anak sa Tawo diha sa iyang himaya ug ang tanang anghel uban kaniya, unya molingkod siya sa iyang mahimayaong trono.
32 People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
Pagatigomon diha sa atubangan niya ang tanang kanasoran, ug lainon niya ang katawhan gikan sa usag-usa, ingon sa usa ka magbalantay nga molahi sa karnero gikan sa mga kanding.
33 I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
Ibutang niya ang karnero didto sa iyang tuong kamot, apan ang mga kanding didto sa iyang wala.
34 Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
Unya ang Hari nag-ingon niadtong atua sa iyang tuong kamot, 'Dali, kamo nga gipanalanginan sa akong Amahan, panunod sa gingharian nga giandam alang kaninyo gikan sa patukuranan sa kalibotan.
35 [They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
Kay ako gigutom ug gihatagan ako ninyo ug pagkaon; giuhaw ako ug gihatagan ako ninyo ug mainom; usa ako ka langyaw ug gipasulod ako ninyo;
36 When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
hubo ako, ug gibistihan ako ninyo; masakiton ako ug giatiman ako ninyo; nabilanggo ako ug miadto kamo kanako.'
37 Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
Unya ang matarong motubag ug mosulti, 'Ginoo, kanus-a man kami nakakita kanimo nga gigutom, ug gipakaon ka? O giuhaw ug gipainom ka?
38 When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
Ug kanus-a man kami nakakita nga ikaw usa ka langyaw, ug gipasulod ka? O hubo ug gibistihan ka?
39 When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
Ug kanus-a man kami nakakita kanimo nga nagsakit, o nabilanggo, ug miadto kanimo?'
40 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
Ug ang Hari motubag ug moingon ngadto kanila, 'Sa pagkatinuod mosulti ako kaninyo, kung unsa ang inyong gibuhat alang sa labing ubos sa akong kaigsoonan dinhi, gibuhat ninyo kini kanako.'
41 Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
Unya mosulti siya niadtong atua sa iyang walang kamot, 'Palayo gikan kanako, kamong tinunglo, ngadto sa walay kataposang kalayo nga giandam alang sa daotan ug sa iyang mga anghel, (aiōnios g166)
42 [It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
tungod kay gigutom ako apan wala kamo mohatag kanako ug pagkaon; giuhaw ako apan wala kamo maghatag kanako ug mainom;
43 You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
usa ako ka langyaw apan wala kamo nagpasulod kanako; hubo apan wala kamo magbisti kanako; nagsakit ug nabilanggo, apan wala kamo mag-atiman alang kanako.'
44 They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
Unya motubag usab sila ug mosulti, 'Ginoo, kanus-a man kami nakakita nga ikaw gigutom, o giuhaw, o usa ka langyaw, o hubo, o nagbalatian, o nabilanggo, ug wala moalagad kanimo?'
45 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
Unya motubag siya kanila ug mosulti, 'Sa pagkatinuod mosulti ako kaninyo, unsa ang wala ninyo gibuhat alang sa mga labing ubos niini, wala ninyo gibuhat alang kanako.'
46 Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
Moadto kini sa walay kataposan nga silot apan ang matarong didto sa kinabuhing walay kataposan.” (aiōnios g166)
