Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
“Pacindico Bwami bwakwilu nibukabeti calenshika ku balindu likumi, balamanta malampi abo ne kumucinsha shibwinga.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Basanu balikuba bapusa kayi nabambi basanu balikuba bacenjela.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Basa basanu bapusa, balamanta malampi abo kwakubula kumantako mafuta apalubasu.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Basa bacenjela basanu, balo balamantilila mafuta apalubasu munsupa shabo akuya kwisusha malampi.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Nomba shibwinga usa walacelwa, neco bonse balatatika kushinshila, balona tulo.”
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
“Pakati pamashiku, kwalanyumfwika maswi abantu balikubilikisheti, ‘Shibwinga uyo lesanga! Pulani mwenga mumutambule!’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Lino balindu basa likumi balapunduka, ne kutatika kubamba cena malampi abo.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Basa basanu bapusa, balatatika kusenga mafuta ku banabo bacenjela, ‘Kamutupako mafuta, malampi etu alashimikinga.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Lino basa bacenjela balakumbuleti, ‘Bacu! Mulayandanga ne njafwe mafuta atupwile twamuyabilako, amwe kamuyani mule mafuta kuli beshikulisha.’
10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Pacindi cindi ncobalafumapo kuya kula mafuta, nendi shibwinga walashika. Basa balindu basanu balikuba balibambila, balengila pamo mu ng'anda ya malyalya abwinga, ne cisasa calacalwa.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
“Panyuma pakendi balindu basanu bapusa basa balesa, balambeti, ‘Nkambo! Nkambo! kamutucalwilako.’
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
Nomba shibwinga walakumbuleti, ‘Kumwambila cakubinga, nkandimwishipo sobwe.’”
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh.
Yesu pakupwililisha walambeti, “Amwe kamubani balibambila, pakwinga nkamubwishi busuba, nambi ola lyakwisa kwakendi.”
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
“Bwami bwakwilu tubwelanike cisa, muntu naumbi walaya pabulwendo. Katananyamuka walakuwa basebenshi bakendi, ne kubashiyila ngofu shakwendelesha buboni bwakendi.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey.
Walapa uliyense mbuli ncelela kukonsha, naumbi walamupa mali amukuba myanda makumi asanu, naumbi myanda makumi abili kayi naumbi myanda likumi. Nendi walafumapo.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Musebenshi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi asanu, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi asanu.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
Nendi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi abili, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi abili.
18 But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Nomba usa walapewa mali myanda likumi, walemba cisengu ne kwafumbika mali asa ngalapewa ne mwami wakendi.”
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
Mpopalapita cindi citali, mwami usa walabwela, walabakuwa basebenshi bakendi bonse, kwambeti bamwambile mobalasebenseshela mali asa.
20 And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
Usa musebenshi walapewa mali myanda makumi asanu, walaletelapo kayi mali ali myanda makumi asanu, ne kwambeti “Mwami ‘pamali asa ngomwalampa ndacaninapo kayi mali akwana myanda makumi asanu.’
21 His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Mwami wakendi walamwambileti, wensa cena, njobe musebenshi waina washomeka, lino pacebo cakuba washomeka pabintu bing'ana, nindikupe lino ncito yakwendelesha bintu bingi. Kwesa usamwe pamo nenjame ndemwami wakobe.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
Nendi musebenshi usa walapewa mali akwana myanda makumi abili, walaletelapo mali ali myanda makumi abili ne kwambeti, mwami pamali asa ngomwalampa ndacaninapo kayi mali akwana myanda makumi abili.
23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Mwami wakendi walamwambileti, ‘Wensa cena, njobe musebenshi waina washomeka, lino pacebo cakuba washomeka pabintu bing'ana, nindikupe ncito yakwendelesha bintu bingi. Kwesa usamwe pamo nenjame ndemwami wakobe.’
24 Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not scattered seed:
“Nendi musebebenshi walapewa mali myanda likumi, walambeti, ‘Nkambo ndacishibangeti mwaipa moyo, mukute kutebula nkomwabula kubyala, ne kuyobolola nkomwabula kumwaya mbuto.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast what is thine.
Neco ndatinanga, encondalafumbikila mucisengu mali enu, nomba ntawa mali enu.’
26 His lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:
Mwami wakendi usa walamwambileti, njobe musebenshi waipa, kayi mutolo. Anu wacishibangeti, nkute kutebula nkondalabula kubyala ne kuyobolola nkondalabula kumwaya mbuto.
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
Neco wanga welela kuya kwibikisha ku banki kwambeti mpondesa ne ndatambulu mali ne bwili.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath ten talents.
Lino mulamuneni awo mali, mupe uyo ukute mali myanda makumi mwanda.
29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Ecebo cakendi uliyense ukuteko cintu, nibaka mubikilepo nabimbi, neco nakabe ne bintu bingi. Nomba uyo wabulapo cintu, nibaka mulamune nakaba kantu nkakute.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Musebenshi uyu waipa wabula ncito, muwaleni kunsa mu mushinshe, uko eti kukabenga kulila ne kukokota meno.”
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
“Cindi Mwana Muntu akesanga kali Mwami, pamo ne bangelo bonse, nakekale pa cipuna cabwami cakendi ca Bulemeneno.
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Nakabunganye bantu bamishobo yonse pantangu pakendi. Nakapansanyenga bantu mbuli mwembeshi ncakute kupansanya mbelele ne mpongo.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mbelele nakashibikenga kucikasa cakendi ca kululyo, mpongo kucikasa cakendi ca kucipiko.
34 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Neco, Mwami nakambile abo bali kucikasa cakululyo, ‘Kamwisani kuno amwe mwalelekwa ne Bata! Kamwingilani mu Bwami mbwalamubambila kufuma pakulengwa kwacishi capanshi.’
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Pakwinga ndalanyumfwa nsala mwalampa cakulya. Ndalanyumfwa nyotwa, mwalampa menshi akunwa. Ndalikuba mwensu, mwalantambula kung'anda kwenu.
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.
Ndalikuba matakosha, mwalamfwalika. ndalakolwa mwalanyamfwilisha. Ndalikuba mujele, mwalesa kumbona.”
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
“Popelapo balulama nibakepusheti, ‘Nkambo twalamubona kupeyo kamunyumfwa nsala, afwe ne kumupa cakulya nambi kamunyumfwa nyotwa, afwe ne kumupa menshi akunwa.
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Twalamubona lilyoni kamuli bensu, afwe ne kumutambula kumanda etu, nambi kamuli matakosha, afwe ne kumufwalika?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
Ni lilyoni mpotwalanyumfwapo eti mulakolwanga, nambi eti muli mujele, afwe ne kwisa kumubona?
40 And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
Mwami na kabakumbuleti “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mpomwalikwinshila ibi kubanse bakame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikwinshila ame ndepele.”
41 Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
Panyuma pakendi Mwami nakambile bali kucikasa cakucipiko, “Kamufumapa, amwe bashinganwa! Kamuyani kumulilo utapu uyo Lesa ngwabambila Muyungaushi ne bangelo bakendi baipa abo balapandukila Lesa! (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Ndalikunyumfwa nsala, muliya kumpa cakulya. Ndalikunyumfwa nyotwa, muliya kumpa menshi akunwa.
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Ndalikuba mwensu muliya kuntambula kumanda enu, ndalikuba matakosha, muliya kumfwalika. Ndalikukolwa, kayi ndalikuba mujele, muliya kwisa kunyamfwilisha.”
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
Balo ni bakambeti, “Nkambo, Inga nililyoni mpotwalamubona kamumfwa nsala, nambi kamunyumfwa nyotwa, nambi kamuli matakosha. Twalanyumfwapo lilyoni eti mulakolwanga, nambi eti muli mujele afwe twalakana kumunyamfwilisha?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Nendi Mwami nakabakumbuleti, ‘Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, pacindi ncomwalikukana kunyamfwa banse bame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikukana kunyamfwa ame.’
