Matthew 25
1 "Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Kangi lukumbi lwenulo, Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana na vakamwali kumi vevagegili hahi zavi, vevahambili kumlindila mkolo ndowa.
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
Mhanu pagati yavi vavi vayimu na mhanu vangi vavi na luhala.
3 For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;
Vala vayimu vagegii hahi zavi, nambu vagegili lepi mahuta gangi gachibana.
4 but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.
Nambu vevavi na luhala vala vagegili mahuta muchupa na mu hahi zavi.
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
Ndava muni mkolo ndowa acheliwi kubwela, ndi vasikana vala vatumbwili kutitila na vakagona.
6 But at midnight there is a loud cry, "'The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'
“Pagati ya kilu lwami luvaha lwayuwaniki, ‘Yumuka, mkolo ndowa ibwela mhamba mukampokela!’
7 "Then all those bridesmaids roused themselves and trimmed their torches.
Kangi vakamwali vala voha vakayumuka, na kutendelekela hahi zavi.
8 "'Give us some of your oil,' said the foolish ones to the wise, 'for our torches are going out.'
Vayimu vala vakavajovela vayavi vevavi na luhala, mutitangatila mahuta ginu padebe, ndava muni hahi zitu zijimika.
9 "'But perhaps,' replied the wise, 'there will not be enough for all of us. Go to the shops rather, and buy some for yourselves.'
Nambu vevavi na luhala vala vakavayangula, lepi, ‘Gikola lepi, nyenye na tete.’ ‘Mbanga mhamba kuliduka mukajigulila mwavene.’
10 "So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came; those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.
Hinu, vakamwali vayimu vala, pevahambili kugula mahuta, mkolo ndowa ndi abwelili, vevajitendelekili vala vayingili munyumba ya ndowa pamonga nayu, kangi mlyangu wadindiwi.”
11 "Afterwards the other bridesmaids came and cried, "'Sir, Sir, open the door to us.'
Mwanakandahi vakawuya vakamwali vangi vala, vakakemela “Mkulu, ‘Mkulu, tidindulila!’
12 "'In solemn truth I tell you,' he replied, 'I do not know you.'
Nambu mkulu yula akavayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, nakuvamanya nyenye.’”
13 "Keep awake therefore; for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Kangi Yesu akavajovela, “Mujiyangalila! Ndava mwimanya lepi ligono amala lisaa yeibwela Mwana wa Mundu.”
14 "Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care.
“Kangi Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangana ngati mundu mmonga mweaganili kuhamba lugendu lwa kutali, avakemili vatumisi vaki na kuvagotolela vindu vyaki.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one--to each according to his individual capacity; and then started from home.
Akavapela kila mundu ngati cheavi na uhotola waki, mmonga mahaku mhanu ga mashonga na yungi mahaku gavili ga mashonga na yungi talanta yimonga ya mashonga akahamba.
16 Without delay the one who had received the five talents went and employed them in business, and gained five more.
Yula mweagotoliwi talanta mhanu za mashonga, bahapo akazihengela lihengu na, kuziyonjokesa mahaku gangi mhanu.
17 In the same way he who had the two gained two more.
Mewawa yungi mweagotoliwi mahaku gavili ga mashonga, akayonjokesa mahaku gangi gavili.
18 But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.
Nambu mtumisi mweagotoliwi talanta yimonga ya lishonga akahamba kugimila pahi, kuyifiya mashonga ga mkulu waki.”
19 "After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.
“Pagamaliki magono gamahele, mkulu yula awuyili na kutumbula kuvalanga vindu mashonga gaki pamonga nawu.
20 The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, and said, "'Sir, it was five talents that you entrusted to me: see, I have gained five more.'
Yula mtumisi mweagotoliwi mahaku mhanu ga mashonga abwelili kuni agegili mahaku ga mashonga gangi mhanu, ndi akamjovela, ‘Mkulu, wanipeli talanta mashonga mhanu, hinu niyonjokisi talanta zingi mhanu zeniyonjokisi.’
21 "'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
Mkulu waki, akamjovela ‘Uhengili chabwina, mtumisi msadikika na mbwina.’ Usadikiwi mu mambu gadebe yati nikugotolela mambu gavaha. Bwelayi uhekayi pamonga na mkulu waku!”
22 "The second, who had received the two talents, came and said, "'Sir, it was two talents you entrusted to me: see, I have gained two more.'
“Kangi mtumisi yungi mweagotoliwi mahaku gavili ga mashonga, abwelili, na kujova, ‘Mkulu wanigotolili mahaku gavili ga mashonga, lola aga apa mahaku gangi gavili geayonjokisi.’
23 "'Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
‘Mkulu waki akamjovela, chabwina, veve mtumisi msadikika na mbwina!’ ‘Ukitili chabwina mu mambu gadebe, yati nikugotolela mambu gavaha, bwelayi uhekayi pamonga na nene.’”
24 "But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "'Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.
“Nambu yula mweagotoliwi talanta yimonga ya lishonga, abwelili akajova, ‘Mkulu nikumanyili veve wa mundu munonopo wibena pewangalima, na kutola pewangadandasa mbeyu.
25 So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
Ndi nayogwipi, nagimili pandima na kufiya lishonga laku. Hinu ndi utola yaku.’”
26 "'You wicked and slothful servant,' replied his master, 'did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed?
“‘Mkulu waki akamyangula veve mtumisi mhakau na mkata! Wimanya kuvya nene nibena panangagaba, na kuyola pala panangadandasa?’
27 Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest.
Ndi yakuganili uvika mashonga gangu kwa vandu vevibadilisha na kuwusa mashonga, ndi nene nganitoli chiyonjokesu na mashonga gangu!
28 So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'
Hinu mumnyaga mashonga genago, na mumpelayi yula mweavi na talanta kumi za mashonga.
29 (For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away.)
Ndava, mundu yeyoha mweavi na chindu yati ipewa na kuyonjokesewa. Nambu yula angali chindu, hati chidebe cheavili nachu yati inyagiwa.
30 'But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'
Na mtumisi yula angali chiyonjokesu, mtaga kuvala kuchitita kwenuko ndi yati kuvya na luvembu na kuyaga minu.”
31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,
“Lukumbi Mwana wa Mundu peibwela muukulu waki pamonga na vamitumu vaki va kunani kwa Chapanga, penapo yati itama panani ya chigoda cha unkosi chechivii na ukulu.
32 and all the nations will be gathered into His presence. And He will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
Vandu va milima yoha yati vikonganeka pamonga palongolo yaki. Mwene ndi akuvapangula vandu ngati mdimaji cheipangula mambelele na mene.
33 and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.
Mwene yati ivika mambelele ndi vandu vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga muchiwoko chaki cha kulyela na mene ndi vandu vahakau muchiwoko chaki cha kumangeya.”
34 "Then the King will say to those at His right, "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.
Kangi Nkosi akuvajovela vala vevavi upandi waki wa kulyela, mbwela, nyenye mwemumotisiwi na Dadi wangu! Mupokela unkosi wemuvikiwi kutumbula kuwumbwa kwa mulima.
35 For when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was homeless, you gave me a welcome;
Muni penavi na njala mwanipeli chakulya, navi na njota mwanipeli manji, avi myehe mwanipokili panyumba yinu,
36 when I was ill-clad, you clothed me; when I was sick, you visited me; when I was in prison, you came to see me.'
navi nangayatila mwaniwaliki, navi mtamu mwabweli kunilola, navi muchifungu mwanigendelili kunilola.
37 "'When, Lord,' the righteous will reply, 'did we see Thee hungry, and feed Thee; or thirsty, and give Thee drink?
“Penapo vandu vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga yati vakamyangula ‘Bambu, takuwene ndali njala yikuvina petakupeli chakulya, amala uvi na njota tete takupeli manji?
38 When did we see Thee homeless, and give Thee a welcome? or ill-clad, and clothe Thee?
Ndali takuwene wa myehe ndi tete takupokili, amala wavi changayatila takuwaliki?
39 When did we see Thee sick or in prison, and come to see Thee?'
Ndali patakuwene una utamu amala muchifungu tabweli kukulola?’
40 "But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'
Nkosi yati akuvayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, chindu chochoha chamumhengili mmonga wa valongo vangu vadebe ava, mwanihengili nene.’”
41 "Then will He say to those at His left, "'Begone from me, with the curse resting upon you, into the Fire of the Ages, which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
“Kangi yati akuvajovela vala va upandi wa kumangeya, ‘Muwuka, palongolo yangu nyenye mwempewili likoto mhamba kumotu wangajimika wa magono goha gangali mwishu weutendelekiwi kwa Setani na vamitumu vaki. (aiōnios g166)
42 For when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat; when thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink;
Ndava njala peyanivili nyenye mwanipeli lepi chakulya, penavi na njota nyenye mwanipeli lepi manji.
43 when homeless, you gave me no welcome; ill-clad, you clothed me not; sick or in prison, you visited me not.'
Penavi myehe nyenye mwenipokili lepi, penavi changayatila nyenye mwaniwaliki lepi, penavi mtamu na penavi muchifungu nyenye mwabweli lepi kunilola.’”
44 "Then will they also answer, "'Lord, when did we see Thee hungry or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison, and not come to serve Thee?'
“Penapo yati viyangula, ‘Bambu, ndali petakuwene njala yikuvina, amala uvi na njota amala myehe amala changayatila nyula amala mtamu amala muchifungu tete takuhengili lepi?’
45 "But he will reply, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these, you withheld them from me.'
Bambu yati iyangula, ‘Nikuvajovela chakaka, chindu chochoha chamwabeli kumuhengela, mmonga wa vadebe ava, ndi mwabeli kunihengela nene.’
