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].
“Chuti chun Van Lenggam chu mounu loiho nungah som thaomei kiken a, moulang lamto dinga kigo hotoh ki tekah ding ahi.”
2 Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
Amaho lah'a nga chu angol uvin, chule adang nga chu aching-uve.
3 The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
Nga angol ho chun athao meiyuva ding'in thao akiken bulhing pouvin ahi.
4 But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
Hinlah adang nga ho vang chu aching theiyuvin thao bom'a thao akiken beuvin ahi.
5 The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
Moulang chu ahung gei phat in, amaho aboncha uvin alulhu uvin chule a-ihmu tauve.
6 In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
Jan khangkim in khosam aw chun asukhang un, “Veuvin, moulang chu ahung tai! Hungdoh un chule lamto uvin!” ati.
7 So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
“Mounu loiho chu aboncha uvin athoudoh un, chule athaomeiyu akigot tauve.
8 The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
Chuphat in adang nga angol ho chun aloi dang ho chu angah un, nathao twiyu chu phabep neipe uvin, ajeh chu kathao meiyu mitding ahitai” atiuve.
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!’
Hinlah adangse chun adonbut un, keihon ibon-uva dingin kanei lhing pouve. Ajohna mun khat'a gache uvin chule nang ho ding gacho uvin ati.
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]}.
“Ahin amaho thaotwi choa ache kah un, moulang chu ahung tai. Chuphat in kigosa umho chu amatoh golvahna in'a chun ache khom'un chule kot chu akam tauve.”
11 Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
Khonung in, mounu loi nga ho chu ahung phat un, polama ading un, akou-un, “Pakai! Pakai! Keidin kot hong in” atiuve.
12 But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
Hinlah Aman alekou vin, “Kasei hi tahsan un, Keiman nangho kahe pouve,”
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].”
“Hijeh chun nangho jong kihong phauvin! Ajeh chu nanghon kahung kile na ding nikho le phat chu nahe pouve,” ati.
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].
“Chujongleh Van Lenggam chu mikhat khol gam latah a gajin doh toh kitekah ding ahi. Aman asohte akou khom in chule asum chu aum lou kah'a ding in amaho chu ngansena apetai.”
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.
Aman khat chu dangka sumdip nga jen apen, michom khat dangka sumdip ni apen, chule anunung penpa dangka sumdip khat apen ahi. Amahon atha uvin ajokham cheh'a achan diu ahoppeh sohkei in ahi. Chujouvin ama khol jindin achetai.
16 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
“Dangka sumdip nga kilah sohpa chun asum chu aveikan in ahileh nga ma alodoh tai.”
17 Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
Dangka sumdip ni sangpa jong chu natong in achen ahileh ni-ma alodoh betai.
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].
Hinlah dangka sumdip khat sangpa chun leiset ko alaiyin chuin apu sum chu avuitai.
19 After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
Phat phabepset jouvin apupa chu akholchena'a kon in ahung kilen, chule asum chu iti amanchah uvem tin akou khom in, akholtoh in ahi.
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!’
Dangka sumdip nga angan sepa chu ahung in nga-ma ahin choiben chuin aseiyin, Pu, nangman Dangka sumdip nga neipeh ahin, keiman sumdip nga-ma kamube e, ati.
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!’
“Apu chun apahcha lheh jeng in, ‘Nabol aphalheh jenge Ka sohpha le tahsan umtah nahi. Hicheng sum hi tahsan um tah a nachin ahin, tua hi keiman ngen sena tamjo cheh kapeh ding nahitai. Kipah thanom khomu hite!’”
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!’
“Dangka sumdip ni sangpa chun ahin nailut in, aseitai, ‘Pu, nangman veipung dinga neipeh Dangka sumdip nia kon in kasupung in’, ni-ma kamube e,” ati.
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!’
“Chuin apupan, nabol aphai kasohpha le tahsan umtah, nangma sum lhomcha chunga tahsan umtah nahi, hiti chun tua mopohna tamjo cheh kapeh ding nahi. Kipah thanom khom'u hite!”
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].
“Chujouvin, Dangka sumdip khat sangpa chu ahung in chuin aseiyin, ‘Pu, keiman nangma hi mi gumtah nahi ti kahen, naphuna louva na atjin, chule nalho louna'a nakhom khomji ti nahina kahei.
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!’
Nasum chu mansah ding kana tijan, hijeh'a chu leinoiya kasel ahi. Ven, nasum hi kilelah kit in,’” ati.
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]
“Hinlah apu chun adonbut in, nangma sohgilou le thase, Keiman kaphu louna'a ka-at nahet a, chule kalho louna leiya kakhop khom nahet ahileh,
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]!’
ipi dinga kasum chu sum veipungna'a koi louva nahim? Chuti hen hileh athoi themkhatbeh toh mutha tadinga! ati.”
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!
“Chujouvin aman thu apen, sum chu hiche sohpa a kon in ladoh uvin chule dangka sumdip som mupa koma peuvin.
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.
Akipe kham kham phatea amanje heho chu, atamjo cheh kipe ding, chule bu-lhingset'a anei diu ahi. Hinlah imacha bollou ho chu lhomcha anei chasun'u jong kilah mangpeh ding ahiuve.
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].’”
Tun, hiche soh phachom loupa hi polam muthima paidoh un, hiche muna chu kana le hagelna um ding ahi,” ati.
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].
“Hinlah Mihem Chapa chu aloupina'a ahung tengleh avantilte jouse chutoh, chuteng aloupina Laltouna'a tou ding ahi.
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.
Namtin jouse Ama angsunga kikhom dingu, chule aman miho chu achingpan kelcha'a kona kelngoi achom khen tobanga akhen ding ahi.
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].
Aman akelngoite chu ajetlama akoiya chule kelcha ho chu aveilama akoi ding ahi.”
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]
“Chuteng Lengpa chun jetlam'a ho koma chu, ‘Hung un, Kapa phattheina changho, vannoi kisema pat nangho dinga kigongsa lenggam chu hunglo tauvin.’”
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].
Ajeh chu keima kagil anakel in chupet in nanghon an nei peuve. Kadang ana chah in, chupet in nang hon don ding neina peuve. Keima maljin kanahin, chupet in nanghon na'inuva, neina puilut uve.
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.’
Sagohkeu kanahin, chupet in nanghon kavon ding neipeuve. Songkul'a kaum in chupet in nanghon neihung vil uve, ati ding ahi.
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?
“Chutengleh michonpha ho chun, ‘Pakai, itih'a nagilkel kamu uva, chupet'a kavah vauham? Ahilouleh nadangchah'a chu donding ipi kapeh uvem?
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?
Chule maljin nahi kamu uva, kajenphat nau um'em? Ahilouleh sagoh keova nauma, ponsil ding kapeh uvem?
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].
Itih'a nanat kamu uva chule songkul'a naum itih'a kamu uva kahungvil uvem?’” atidiu ahi.
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.’
“Chuteng Lengpa chun, thu tahbeh kaseipeh nahiuve, kasopi ho lah'a aneopen nabol nau chu, nanghon keima neibolnau ahi.”
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)
“Chutah le Lengpan aveilama umho lam angat'a asei ding, Chemang un, gaosap chang ho, Diabol le lhagao boh ho dinga gotsa kikoi tonsot meidil'a lut un. (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.
Ajeh chu kagil akel'in chupet in nanghon an neinehsah pouve. Kadang achah in chupet in nanghon don ding jong neipe pouve.
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.’
Maljin kana hin chupet in nanghon na'in uva neipui lut pouve. Sagohkeo kanahin, nanghon ponsil neinapepouve. Kana dammo in chule songkul'a kaumin, chupet in nanghon neivil pouve.”
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?’
“Chutengleh amahon adonbut-uva, ‘Pakai keihon itih'a nagilkel kamu'uva ahilouleh nadangchah kamu'uva, maljin nahia ahilouleh nanat a, songkul'a nalut a chule kapanpi lounau um'em?’” tia aseidiu ahi.
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.’
“Chutengleh aman amaho chu adonbut a, Keiman thudihtah kasei ahi, nanghon kasopite lah'a aneopen napanhunom lounau chu keima neijen nom lou u kahetna ahi.
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)
Chuteng amaho chu tonsot gimbolna a lutding'u, hinlah michonpha ho vang chu Tonsot Hinna'a lut diu ahi,” ati. (aiōnios g166)
