Matthew 25
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.
“Nígbà náà ni ó fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọn wúńdíá mẹ́wàá. Ti wọ́n gbé fìtílà wọn láti lọ pàdé ọkọ ìyàwó.
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
Márùn-ún nínú wọn jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n, márùn-ún nínú wọn ni wọ́n jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
3 For when the foolish virgins took their lamps, they did not take any oil with them.
Àwọn tí wọ́n jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n gbé fìtílà wọn ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mú epo kankan lọ́wọ́.
4 But the wise virgins took containers of oil along with their lamps.
Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n mú epo sínú kólòbó lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú fìtílà wọn.
5 Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all got sleepy and slept.
Nígbà tí ọkọ ìyàwó pẹ́, gbogbo wọn tòògbé wọn sì sùn.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look, the bridegroom! Go out and meet him.'
“Nígbà tí ó di ọ̀gànjọ́, igbe ta sókè, ‘Wò ó, ọkọ ìyàwó ń bọ̀, ẹ jáde sóde láti pàdé rẹ̀.’
7 Then all those virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps.
“Nígbà náà ni àwọn wúńdíá sì tají, wọ́n tún fìtílà wọn ṣe.
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.'
Àwọn aláìgbọ́n márùn-ún tí kò ní epo rárá bẹ àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n pé kí wọn fún àwọn nínú èyí tí wọ́n ní nítorí fìtílà wọn ń kú lọ.
9 But the wise answered and said, 'Since there will not be enough for us and you, go instead to those who sell and buy some for yourselves.'
“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n márùn-ún dáhùn pé, bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́; kí ó má ba à ṣe aláìtó fún àwa àti ẹ̀yin, ẹ kúkú tọ àwọn tí ń tà á lọ, kí ẹ sì rà fún ara yín.
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
“Ní àsìkò tí wọ́n lọ ra epo tiwọn, ni ọkọ ìyàwó dé. Àwọn wúńdíá tí ó múra tán bá a wọlé sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó, lẹ́yìn náà, a sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came and said, 'Master, master, open for us.'
“Ní ìkẹyìn ni àwọn wúńdíá márùn-ún ìyókù dé, wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Olúwa, Olúwa, ṣílẹ̀kùn fún wa.’
12 But he answered and said, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'
“Ṣùgbọ́n ọkọ ìyàwó dáhùn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín èmi kò mọ̀ yín rí.’
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day or the hour.
“Nítorí náà, ẹ máa ṣọ́nà. Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò mọ ọjọ́ tàbí wákàtí tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò dé.
14 For it is like when a man was about to go into another country. He called his own servants and gave over to them his wealth.
“A sì tún fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé ọkùnrin kan tí ó ń lọ sí ìrìnàjò. Ó pe àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì kó ohun ìní rẹ̀ fún wọn.
15 To one of them he gave five talents, to another he gave two, and to yet another he gave one talent. Each one received an amount according to his own ability, and that man went on his journey.
Ó fún ọ̀kan ni tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún, ó fún èkejì ni tálẹ́ǹtì méjì, ó sì fún ẹ̀kẹta ni tálẹ́ǹtì kan, ó fún olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára rẹ̀ ti mọ, ó sì lọ ìrìnàjò tirẹ̀.
16 The one who received the five talents went at once and invested them and made another five talents.
Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún bẹ̀rẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ láti fi owó náà ṣòwò. Láìpẹ́, ó sì jèrè márùn-ún mìíràn.
17 Likewise the one who had received two talents made another two.
Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì méjì náà fi tirẹ̀ ṣòwò. Láìpẹ́, ó sì jèrè tálẹ́ǹtì méjì mìíràn.
18 But the servant who had received one talent went away, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí ò gba tálẹ́ǹtì kan, ó wa ihò ní ilẹ̀, ó sì bo owó ọ̀gá mọ́ ibẹ̀.
19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them.
“Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ pípẹ́, olúwa àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ dé láti àjò rẹ̀. Ó pè wọ́n jọ láti bá wọn ṣírò owó rẹ̀.
20 The servant who had received the five talents came and brought another five talents. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five talents more.'
Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún, mú márùn-ún mìíràn padà wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, ìwọ ti fi tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún fún mi, mo sì ti jèrè márùn-ún mìíràn pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.’
21 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'
“Olúwa rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, ‘O ṣeun ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rere àti olóòtítọ́: ìwọ ṣe olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun díẹ̀, èmi yóò fi ọ́ ṣe olórí ohun púpọ̀, bọ́ sínú ayọ̀ olúwa rẹ.’
22 The servant who had received two talents came and said, 'Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more talents.'
“Èyí tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì méjì wí pé ‘Olúwa, ìwọ fún mi ní tálẹ́ǹtì méjì láti lò, èmi sì ti jèrè tálẹ́ǹtì méjì mìíràn.’
23 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'
“Olúwa rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, ‘O ṣeun, ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rere àti olóòtítọ́. Ìwọ ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun díẹ̀, èmi yóò fi ọ ṣe olórí ohun púpọ̀. Ìwọ bọ́ sínú ayọ̀ olúwa rẹ.’
24 Then the servant who had received one talent came and said, 'Master, I know that you are a strict man. You reap where you did not sow, and you harvest where you did not scatter.
“Níkẹyìn, ọkùnrin tí a fún ní tálẹ́ǹtì kan wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, mo mọ̀ pé òǹrorò ènìyàn ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìwọ ń kórè níbi tí ìwọ kò gbìn sí, ìwọ ń kójọ níbi tí ìwọ kò ó ká sí.
25 I was afraid, so I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have here what belongs to you.'
Èmi bẹ̀rù, mo sì lọ pa tálẹ́ǹtì rẹ mọ́ sínú ilẹ̀. Wò ó, nǹkan rẹ nìyìí.’
26 But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed and harvest where I have not scattered.
“Ṣùgbọ́n olúwa rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, ‘Ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ búburú, ìwọ mọ̀ pé èmi ń kórè níbi tí èmi kò fúnrúgbìn sì, èmi sì ń kójọ níbi tí èmi kò fọ́nká ká sí.
27 Therefore you should have given my money to the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
Nígbà náà ìwọ ìbá kúkú fi owó mi sí ilé ìfowópamọ́ tí èmi bá dé èmi ìbá le gba owó mi pẹ̀lú èrè.
28 Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to the servant who has ten talents.
“‘Ó sì pàṣẹ kí a gba tálẹ́ǹtì náà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, kí a sì fún ọkùnrin tí ó ní tálẹ́ǹtì mẹ́wàá.
29 For to everyone who possesses, more will be given—even more abundantly. But from anyone who does not possess anything, even what he does have will be taken away.
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní a ó fún sí i, yóò sí tún ní sí lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n láti ọwọ́ ẹni tí kò ní ni a ó ti gbà èyí tí ó ní.
30 Throw the worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
Nítorí ìdí èyí, gbé aláìlérè ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, jù ú sínú òkùnkùn lóde, ibẹ̀ ni ẹ̀kún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.’
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
“Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò wá nínú ògo rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn angẹli rẹ̀ nígbà náà ni yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ògo ní ọ̀run.
32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ni a ó kójọ níwájú rẹ̀, òun yóò sì ya àwọn ènìyàn ayé sí ọ̀tọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ṣe é ya àgùntàn kúrò lára àwọn ewúrẹ́.
33 He will place the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
Òun yóò sì fi àgùntàn sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún àti ewúrẹ́ sí ọwọ́ òsì.
34 Then the King will say to those on his right hand, 'Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
“Nígbà náà ni ọba yóò wí fún àwọn tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún pé, ‘Ẹ wá, ẹ̀yin tí Baba mi ti bùkún fún, ẹ jogún ìjọba tí a ti pèsè fún yín láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;
Nítorí ebi pa mi, ẹ̀yin sì fún mi ní oúnjẹ, òǹgbẹ gbẹ mí, ẹ̀yin sì fún mi ní omi. Mo jẹ́ àlejò, ẹ̀yin sì pè mí sínú ilé yín.
36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you cared for me; I was in prison and you came to me.'
Mo wà ní ìhòhò, ẹ̀yin sì daṣọ bò mí. Nígbà tí mo ṣe àìsàn ẹ ṣe ìtójú mi, àti ìgbà tí mo wà ní ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n ẹ̀yin bẹ̀ mí wò.’
37 Then the righteous will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you a drink?
“Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò fèsì pé, ‘Olúwa, nígbà wo ni àwa rí ọ tí ebi ń pa ọ́, tí a sì fún ọ ní oúnjẹ? Tàbí tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ ọ́ tí a sì fún ọ ní ohun mímu?
38 When did we see you a stranger and take you in? Or naked and clothe you?
Tàbí tí o jẹ́ àlejò tí a gbà ó sínú ilé wa? Tàbí tí o wà ní ìhòhò, tí a sì daṣọ bò ọ́?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?'
Nígbà wo ni a tilẹ̀ rí i tí o ṣe àìsàn, tàbí tí o wà ní ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n, tí a bẹ̀ ọ́ wò?’
40 Then the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, what you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me.'
“Ọba náà yóò sì dáhùn yóò sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín pé níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn arákùnrin mi yìí tí o kéré jú lọ, ẹ̀ ń ṣe wọn fún mi ni.’
41 Then he will say to those on his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels, (aiōnios g166)
“Nígbà náà ni yóò sọ fún àwọn tí ọwọ́ òsì pé, ‘Ẹ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, ẹ̀yin ẹni ègún, sínú iná àìnípẹ̀kun tí a ti tọ́jú fún èṣù àti àwọn angẹli rẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
42 because I was hungry, but you did not give me food; I was thirsty, but you did not give me a drink;
Nítorí tí ebi pa mi, ẹ̀yin kò tilẹ̀ bọ́ mi, òrùngbẹ gbẹ mi, ẹ kò tilẹ̀ fún mi ní omi láti mu.
43 I was a stranger, but you did not take me in; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not care for me.'
Mo jẹ́ àlejò, ẹ̀yin kò tilẹ̀ gbà mi sílé. Mo wà ní ìhòhò, ẹ̀yin kò fi aṣọ bò mi. Mo ṣàìsàn, mo sì wà lọ́gbà ẹ̀wọ̀n, ẹ̀yin kò bẹ̀ mí wò.’
44 Then they will also answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you?'
“Nígbà náà àwọn pẹ̀lú yóò dáhùn pé, ‘Olúwa, nígbà wo ni àwa rí ọ, tí ebi ń pa ọ́ tàbí tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ ọ́, tàbí tí o ṣàìsàn, tàbí tí o wà lọ́gbà ẹ̀wọ̀n, tí a kò sí ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́?’
45 Then he will answer them and say, 'Truly I say to you, what you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
“Nígbà náà àwọn yóò dáhùn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún pé, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ti kọ̀ láti ran ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó kéré jù lọ́wọ́ nínú arákùnrin mi, ẹ̀yin tí kọ̀ láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún mi ni.’
