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.
“Kele katema ko, Umwenye wa kwinani chiulandane ni achiŵali likumi ŵaŵajigele ibatali yao, ŵatyosile kwachingamila ambuje ŵa ulombela.
2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Nsano ŵao ŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ni nsano ŵaliji ŵakalamuka.
3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Ŵaŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵajigele ibatali yao, nambo nganajigala mauta ga akiba.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Nambo ŵele ŵaŵaliji ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajigele mauta mu yupa pamo ni ibatali yao.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Pakuŵa ambuje ŵaulombela ŵakaŵile kwika, achiŵali ŵala wose ŵagwesele ni kugona.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Nambo sikati chilo nnope kwapali kunyokonya, ‘Nnole! Ambuje ŵaulombela akwika, njaule nkaachingamile.’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Pelepo achiŵali ŵala wose ŵajimwiche, ŵaiŵisile chile ibatali yao.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil: for our lamps are gone out.
Ŵele ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵaasalile ŵakalamuka kuti, ‘Mtupe mauta genu kanandi pakuŵa ibatali yetu ikusimika.’
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.
Nambo ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajanjile, ‘Ngagatukwana uwe ni ŵanyamwe! Mmbaya njaule kwa kusumisya nkalisumile mwachinsyene!’
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.
Nipele, ŵele achiŵali ŵakuloŵela wo paŵajawile kusuma mauta, ambuje ŵaulombela ŵaiche, ni achiŵali ŵaŵaliŵisile chile ŵajinjile pamo nawo mu nyuumba ja ulombela ni nnango waugalikwe.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Kanyuma achiŵali ŵane ŵala ŵaiche, ŵaaŵilasile, ‘Achimwene, achimwene, ntuugulile!’
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, ngangummanyilila ŵanyamwe.’”
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye, pakuŵa ngankumanyilila lyuŵa atamuno saa pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu.
14 For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man traveling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
“Pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli mpela mundu jwasachile kwaula ulendo, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakutumichila ŵao ni kwalechela chipanje chakwe.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and forthwith took his journey.
Ŵampele kila jumo ichaikombole, jumo maunjili nsano ga mbiya, ni jwine maunjili gaŵili ni jwine liunjili limo, ni ŵajawile.
16 Then he that had received the five talents, went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Nipele, juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵajawile kukusumisya malonda ni ŵapatile mbiya sine maunjili nsano.
17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
Ilaila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili jula, ŵapatile sine maunjili gaŵili.
18 But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Nambo jwele juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula, ŵajawile, ni kusola lisimbo paasi, ni ŵasisile mbiya ja achimwene jwao.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
“Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, achimwene jwa ŵakutumichila ŵala ŵausile, ni ŵatandite kuŵalanjila mbiya sisyatumiche ni mbiya sisyapatikene mu mbiya syakwe.
20 And he that had received five talents, came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
Katumetume juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵaiche ali ajigele gane nsano, ŵaasalile, ‘Achimwene, mwambele maunjili nsano ga mbiya, nnole, nyonjechesye maunjili gane nsano.’
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.
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
22 He also that had received two talents came, and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
“Sooni jwakutumichila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili ŵaiche, ŵatyosisye mbiya sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, mwambele mbiya maunjili gaŵili. Nnole, mbatile sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe.’
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.
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
24 Then he who had received the one talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:
“Nambo juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula ŵaiche, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, nguimanyilila kuti mwe ndi ŵakulimba, mmweji nkugungula pa nganimpande, ni kusonganganya panganimmisa.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [what is] thine.
Najogwepe, najisisile mbiya jenu paasi. Nipele njigale mbiya jenu.’
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 strewed:
“Achimwene jwao ŵanjanjile, ‘Mwe ndi jwakutumichila jwangalumbana ni jwa ulesi! Nkuumanyilila kuti une ngugungula panganimbande, ni kusonganganya panganimisa.
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
Nipele yammajile kujiŵika mbiya jangu mu nyuumba ja kugosela mbiya, none pachiiche ngajijigele jajili jangu ni chakonjecheka chakwe!
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] to him who hath ten talents.
Munsumule mbiya jo mumpe jwakwete mbiya maunjili likumi.
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.
Pakuŵa, jwali ni chindu chapegwe ni konjechekwa. Nambo jwanganakola chindu, ata chele chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Yankati jwakutumichila jwangaikanacho chakonjecheka, mumponye paasa ku chipi! Kweleko chikuŵe ni kulila ni kuchilimya meeno.’”
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory:
“Katema kachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu mu ukulu wakwe ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wose ali pamo nawo, pelepo chachitama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye chachili ni ukulu.
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
Ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose chasongangane mmbujo mwao, nombe chachalekanganya ŵandu mpela ŵakuchinga yakuti pakusilekanganya ngondolo ni mbusi.
33 And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Chaachisiŵika ngondolo yaani ŵandu ŵambone kundyo kwakwe ni mbusi yaani ŵandu ŵangalumbana kunchiji kwakwe.
34 Then will 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:
“Nombe Mwenye chiŵasalile ŵaali ŵa kundyo kwakwe kuti, ‘Njise ŵanyamwe ŵampegwile upile ni Atati ŵangu, mpochele umwenye ŵampanganyichisye chile chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.
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:
Pakuŵa jangwete sala ni ŵanyamwe mwambele chakulya ni jangwete njota ni ŵanyamwe mwambele meesi ni naliji jwannendo ni ŵanyamwe mwambochele mmajumba genu.
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.
Naliji matakope, ŵanyamwe mwandakwisye ni naliji jwakulwala ŵanyamwe mwaaiche kukuunola ni naliji jwantawe ŵanyamwe mwanyimajimile.’
37 Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?
Pelepo, ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chiŵajanje mwenye kuti, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twambweni ŵa sala ni kumpa chakulya, pane jinkwete njota ni kung'wesya meesi?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
Ana chakachi twammweni nli jwannendo ni kumpochela, pane matakope ni kuntakusya?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
Chakachi twammweni ndi nkulwala pane jwantawe ni kwika kukunnola?’
40 And the king will 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.
Mwenye chiŵajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, chachilichose chimwantendele jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achalongo ŵangu achanandi, mwandendele une.’
41 Then will 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)
“Nipele chiŵasalile ŵele ŵaali kunchiji kwao, ‘Ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe ŵankwete malweso! Njaule ku mooto moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika, wauŵichikwe chile kwa ligongo lya Shetani ni achikatumetume ŵakwe. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Pakuŵa jangwete sala nganimumba chakulya, jangwete njota nganimumba meesi.
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.
Naliji jwannendo nganimumbochela mmajumba genu ni panaliji matakope nganimumba nguo ni nalwalaga ni nataŵikwe nganinnyika kukulola.’
44 Then will 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?
“Pelepo nombe chajanje, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twammweni ndi jinkwete sala ni njota, ni ndi jwannendo pane matakope, ni ndi nkulwala pane jwantaŵikwe, nowe nganitunkamusya?’
45 Then will 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.
Mwenye chajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, kila pamwakanaga kumpanganichisya gelega jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achanandi ŵa, mwakanile kuumbanganichisya une.’
