< 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.
“Pea ʻe toki tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kau tāupoʻou ʻe toko hongofulu, naʻa nau toʻo ʻenau ngaahi tūhulu, ʻo ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki ki he tangata taʻane.
2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Naʻe poto honau toko nima, kae vale ʻae toko nima.
3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Ko kinautolu naʻe vale naʻe ʻave ʻenau tūhulu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻave mo haʻanau lolo:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he poto ʻae lolo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ipu, pea mo ʻenau tūhulu
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Pea ʻi he tuai mai ʻae tangata taʻane, naʻa nau tulemohe kotoa pē ʻo mohe.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
“Pea tuʻuapō mālie mo ʻene pa mai ʻae kalanga, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae tangata taʻane; mou ʻalu atu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia.’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Pea toki tuʻu hake ʻae kau tāupoʻou kotoa pē ko ia, ʻo teuteu ʻenau tūhulu.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil: for our lamps are gone out.
Pea lea ʻae vale ki he poto, ‘Foaki mai maʻamautolu ʻi hoʻomou lolo; he ʻoku tei mate ʻemau tūhulu’
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.
Ka naʻe lea ʻae poto, ʻo pehēange, ‘Ka koeʻuhi naʻa siʻi ia kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu: ka mou ʻalu kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatau, ʻo fakatau maʻamoutolu.’
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.
Pea lolotonga ʻenau ʻalu ke fakatau, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko kinautolu naʻe teuteu naʻe hū mo ia ki he taʻane: pea tāpuni ʻae matapā.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
“Hili ia, mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae kau tāupoʻou naʻe ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu.’
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, ‘ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻakimoutolu.’
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.
“Ko ia mou leʻo, he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻae ʻaho pe ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe haʻu ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
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.
“Pea ʻoku hangē foki ko e tangata ʻoku te u fononga ki ha fonua mamaʻo, pea ui ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaʻana, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻene ngaahi meʻa.
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.
Naʻe tuku ki he tokotaha ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, pea ua ki he tokotaha, pea taha ki he tokotaha; ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene faʻa fai, pea ʻalu leva hono fononga.
16 Then he that had received the five talents, went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Pea ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo fakatauʻaki ia, ʻo ne fakalahi ʻaki ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe nima.
17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
Pea ko ia foki naʻe ua, naʻa ne maʻu ʻaki ia ʻae ua kehe.
18 But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Ka ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻae taha, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo keli ʻi he kelekele, ʻo tanu ʻae koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
“Pea fuoloa, pea [toki ]haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu.
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.
Pea haʻu ia ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, ʻo ne ʻomi mo e taleniti kehe ʻe nima, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa ke tuku mai kiate au ʻae taleniti ʻe nima: vakai, kuo u maʻu mo ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe nima.’
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene ʻeiki kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei mo angatonu: kuo ke fai totonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, te u fakanofo koe ke ke pule ki he meʻa lahi: hū koe ki he fiefiaʻanga ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.’
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.
Pea haʻu foki ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa ke tuku mai kiate au ʻae taleniti ʻe ua: vakai, kuo u maʻu mo ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe ua.’
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene ʻeiki kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei mo angatonu: kuo ke fai totonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, te u fakanofo koe ke ke pule ki he meʻa lahi: hū koe ki he fiefiaʻanga ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.’
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:
Pea toki haʻu ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe taha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ne u ʻilo koe ko e tangata faingataʻa, ʻoku ke tuʻusi ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ai, ʻo tānaki ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te ke tufaki ai:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [what is] thine.
Pea ne u manavahē, pea u ʻalu ʻo fufū hoʻo taleniti ʻi he kelekele: vakai, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau.’
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:
“Pea lea ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻAe tamaioʻeiki angakovi mo fakapikopiko, naʻa ke ʻilo ʻoku ou tuʻusi ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi ai, mo tānaki ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te u tufaki ai:
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.
Naʻe totonu ai haʻo ʻatu ʻeku koloa ki he kau fakatau, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku mo hono fakalahi.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] to him who hath ten talents.
Ko ia toʻo ʻae taleniti meiate ia, ʻo ʻoatu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene taleniti.
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.
He ko ia fulipē ʻoku maʻu, ʻe [toe ]ʻoatu kiate ia, pea te ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Pea mou lī ʻae tamaioʻeiki taʻeʻaonga ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
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:
“ʻOka haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi hono nāunau, mo e kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē mo ia, ʻe toki nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻa ʻo hono nāunau:
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:
pea ʻe fakakātoa ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē: pea ʻe vahe ua ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e vaheʻi ʻe he tauhi sipi ʻa ʻene sipi mei he kosi:
33 And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Pea ʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae fanga sipi ki hono nima toʻomataʻu, ka ko e fanga kosi ki he toʻohema.
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:
Pea ʻe toki pehē ʻe he Tuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, ‘Haʻu, ʻakimoutolu kuo monūʻia ʻi heʻeku Tamai, ʻo maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kuo teu moʻomoutolu talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani:
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:
He naʻaku fiekaia, pea naʻa mou foaki ʻae meʻakai kiate au: naʻaku fieinua, pea naʻa mou foaki ʻae inu kiate au: ko e muli au, pea naʻa mou fakaʻafeʻi au:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.
Telefua, pea naʻa mou fakakofuʻi au: naʻaku mahaki, pea naʻa mou ʻaʻahi mai kiate au: naʻaku ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea naʻa mou haʻu kiate au.’
37 Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?
“Pea ʻe toki lea ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke fiekaia, pea mau fafangaʻi [koe]? Pea fieinua, pea mau foaki ʻae inu [kiate koe]?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
Naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ko e muli, pea mau fakaafeʻi [koe]? Pe telefua, pea mau fakakofuʻi [koe]?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
Pea naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke mahaki, pe ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea mau ʻalu atu kiate koe?’
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.
Pea ʻe lea ʻae Tuʻi, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fai ia ki ha taha ʻoku kihiʻi siʻi hifo ʻi hoku kāinga ni, ko hoʻomou fai [ia ]kiate au.’
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)
“Pea ʻe toki tala ʻe ia foki kiate kinautolu ʻi [hono ]nima toʻohema, ‘ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu kuo malaʻia, ki he afi taʻemate, naʻe teu ki he tēvolo mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo: (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
He naʻaku fiekaia, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ha meʻakai kiate au: naʻaku fieinua, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ha inu kiate au:
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.
Ko e muli au, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou fakaafeʻi au: telefua, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou fakakofuʻi au: mahaki, pea ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻaʻahi kiate au.’
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?
“Pea ʻe toki lea ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia foki, ʻo pehēange, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke fiekaia, pe ko e fieinua, pe ko e muli, pe telefua, pe mahaki, pe ʻi he fale fakapōpula, kae ʻikai te mau tauhi koe?’
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.
Pea ʻe toki lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻefai [ia ]ki ha tokotaha ʻoku kihiʻi siʻi hifo [ʻiate kinautolu ]ni, ko hoʻomou taʻefai [ia ]kiate au.’
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻakinautolu ni ki he malaʻia taʻengata: ka ko e māʻoniʻoni ki he moʻui taʻengata.” (aiōnios g166)
