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].
Adi bati tigomo ta zesere kasi mabura manu kirau sa ma ziki mafitila maweme tantu u gura umanyani ma tiyum.
2 Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
Anu chibi anyimo aweme anu zatu jinjin wani, anu ciibi anyimo aweme anu jinjin wani.
3 The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
Asenke anu zatu jinjin ugino me wada inta mani anyimo amafitila maweme ba.
4 But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
Anu ajinjin me wa inta aru amani nan mafitila mawe anyimo me.
5 The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
Sa manyani matiyom made U aye watubi ugbiso moro mazikiwe.
6 In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
Inna tii aniye akunna utissa, agusa, manyani matiyom me maye! Suro ni iguri me!
7 So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
Vat mabura magino me mahiri mabari mafitila maweme.
8 The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
Anu zatu jinjin me wagun nanu ajinjinme, nyangizi haru mani mashime cincin mafitila maru mazinni wijo!
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!’
Ba anu ajinjin me wakabirka waagu mada bari haru nan shi ba, hanani ahira anu ziza me. ika kwa inna ce ashi me.
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]}.
Sa wa dusa ahira ukwa me, manyani matiyom me ma e, ande sa wara ahira me waribe akorso udenge me.
11 Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
Sa adondonkino mabura magino ka aye, wagu Ugomo Asere pokon duru ana tukum.
12 But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
Ma kabirka magun we, kadundere, in boshi, in tam shi ba.
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].”
Barki anime, cukunoni ibe, ita shi uganiya ba.
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].
Kasi unu mani sa ma haza atanu, matiti arere ameme ma nya we vat imum be sa ma zinni.
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.
Ma nya unu indai matelenti manu ciibi. Unu indai matelenti mare uye ma nya me u indai. ko da avi ubina ni uni kara ni meme, madusa.
16 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
Desa makaba matelenti u ciibi ma gun me ma ha maka gamara mani, makem mare.
17 Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
Ani me ani unu kaba matelenti mare me cangi makem mare.
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].
Me de sa ma kaba utelenti u indai me, maka gense adizi ma hunze ni.
19 After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
Sa adondonkino, una kura arere agino me ma zee ma basa nan we.
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!’
Me dee sa ma kaba matelenti manu ciibi, mahaha mamu ma witi mare matelenti uciibi, magu una kura wa nyam matelenti manu ciibi, iye makem mare kaba.
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!’
Una kuraa magun me gai urere uhuma, wa wuza kadundere anyimo imum icin, indi tar we a nyimo igbardang aye cukunno uvenke.
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!’
Una ma telenti mani mare ma haha mamu, magu,
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!’
Una kura, wa nyam matelenti mare. I ye makem mani mare kaba. una kura me me magu imme, gai, urere uhuma. wazauka kadundere a nyimo cin in di tariwe a nyiomo gbardang aye cukuno uvenke.
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].
Me de sa maa kaba utalenti uindai me, mahaha mamu magu, Una kura min rusa hu unu nyara uziki imum ahira sa da wa inko ni ba, kaba bitelenti buweme.
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!’
Barki anime ani ma kunna bi yau, ma gense adizi mahunze bitalenti buwo meni kaba!
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]
Ba una kura me ma kabirka magu, hu urere uburi mani, ugbara! uru sam incira ahira me sa daki ma inkoni ba.
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]!’
ya wuna urii uda ayem ni kirfi me a inki ahira me sa adi kem mareu ni in kabi ire azesere me.
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!
Barki anime kaba ni bi talenti bi gino me inya una manu kirau me.
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.
Barki vat inu imum ake akinkimeni, iwu gbardangunu zatu imum akabi ini ame. Rekkini unu sa ma zoo anyo imumba a
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].’”
nyimo a mareu marumzi anyo abinime.
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].
Inki vana unu ma aye a nyimo ani nonzo nume nan ribe ikadura kame, madi cukuno a hira adang ame.
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.
Adi ori anabu vat aje ame, madi suzo we ma inki sassas, kasi unutarsa itam. Sa ma suzzo imum sas. Madi inki itam atari tinare, ma inki imani
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].
atari tinann gure.
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]
Ugomo madi gu an de sa wa ra atari tinare time, aye ni shi sa acoo maringirka shi, i kabi tigomo tishi sa amu inko shini dati utuba uney.
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].
Barki ma kunna ikomo ya nyam imumare. makunna niwe nimei, ya nyani mi masa. ma aye ani genu ya kaban mi.
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.’
In zi bihurba ya sokin mi turunga, ma wuzi ukoni i eh i irim u hira ani rebe ya issizon ni mi.
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?
Abinee ani anu tanu tiriri me wadi kabirka, wagu, Ugomo Asere, ta ira we abani ta nya we imum yare, nani niwe ni mgwei ta nya we wa sa?
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?
Innu maya uni ta ira we ini genu me ti kabi we nani inbihurba ti sokiwe tirunga.
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].
Nani inniu maya ini ta iri we uzo uhuma, nan na nyimo akura ani rere me.
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.’
Ba ugomo ma kabirka we, magu, kadundere in boshi vat de sa ya wuza meni anyimo ani za num ya wuza miniminini.
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)
Abini ani madi gu inna na tari tinan gure, cekinni mi, a wuna shi anyo ribeni a nyimo ura nan unu uburu sa a barka barki a malaiku nan unu uburu. (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.
Barki ma kunna ikomo daki ya nya ni mi imum are ba. ma kunna niwe ni mgwei ya nya nimi masa ba. Ma wuza nigen daki ya kaba ni ba. In zi
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.’
bihurba daki ya sokin mi turunga ba. Ma wuzi ukoni daki ya aye ya gunkunom ba, mara a nyimo akura ani rere daki ya ikon mi ba.
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?’
Abini me cangi wadi gu, Ugomo Asere innu maya uni ta iri we inni komo me nani inn niwe ni mgwei, nani inn ni gen, nani innu zatu turunganani uzatu nihuma, nani akura ani rere daki ta iko hu ba.
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.’
Abini madi kabirka, magu in we, kadundere, imboshi ani me saki ya wu unu indai a nyimo anu tarsa um ni ba mi mani. A nigino wani wadi ribe a nyimo u zitto, anu tank to riri wadi venke a kura Address. (aiōnios g166)
