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.
“Pacindico Bwami bwakwilu nibukabeti calenshika ku balindu likumi, balamanta malampi abo ne kumucinsha shibwinga.
2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
Basanu balikuba bapusa kayi nabambi basanu balikuba bacenjela.
3 For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;
Basa basanu bapusa, balamanta malampi abo kwakubula kumantako mafuta apalubasu.
4 but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.
Basa bacenjela basanu, balo balamantilila mafuta apalubasu munsupa shabo akuya kwisusha malampi.
5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
Nomba shibwinga usa walacelwa, neco bonse balatatika kushinshila, balona tulo.”
6 But at midnight there is a loud cry, "'The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'
“Pakati pamashiku, kwalanyumfwika maswi abantu balikubilikisheti, ‘Shibwinga uyo lesanga! Pulani mwenga mumutambule!’
7 "Then all those bridesmaids roused themselves and trimmed their torches.
Lino balindu basa likumi balapunduka, ne kutatika kubamba cena malampi abo.
8 "'Give us some of your oil,' said the foolish ones to the wise, 'for our torches are going out.'
Basa basanu bapusa, balatatika kusenga mafuta ku banabo bacenjela, ‘Kamutupako mafuta, malampi etu alashimikinga.’
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.'
Lino basa bacenjela balakumbuleti, ‘Bacu! Mulayandanga ne njafwe mafuta atupwile twamuyabilako, amwe kamuyani mule mafuta kuli beshikulisha.’
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.
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 "Afterwards the other bridesmaids came and cried, "'Sir, Sir, open the door to us.'
“Panyuma pakendi balindu basanu bapusa basa balesa, balambeti, ‘Nkambo! Nkambo! kamutucalwilako.’
12 "'In solemn truth I tell you,' he replied, 'I do not know you.'
Nomba shibwinga walakumbuleti, ‘Kumwambila cakubinga, nkandimwishipo sobwe.’”
13 "Keep awake therefore; for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Yesu pakupwililisha walambeti, “Amwe kamubani balibambila, pakwinga nkamubwishi busuba, nambi ola lyakwisa kwakendi.”
14 "Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care.
“Bwami bwakwilu tubwelanike cisa, muntu naumbi walaya pabulwendo. Katananyamuka walakuwa basebenshi bakendi, ne kubashiyila ngofu shakwendelesha buboni bwakendi.
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.
Walapa uliyense mbuli ncelela kukonsha, naumbi walamupa mali amukuba myanda makumi asanu, naumbi myanda makumi abili kayi naumbi myanda likumi. Nendi walafumapo.
16 Without delay the one who had received the five talents went and employed them in business, and gained five more.
Musebenshi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi asanu, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi asanu.
17 In the same way he who had the two gained two more.
Nendi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi abili, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi abili.
18 But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.
Nomba usa walapewa mali myanda likumi, walemba cisengu ne kwafumbika mali asa ngalapewa ne mwami wakendi.”
19 "After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.
Mpopalapita cindi citali, mwami usa walabwela, walabakuwa basebenshi bakendi bonse, kwambeti bamwambile mobalasebenseshela mali asa.
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.'
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 "'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.'
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 "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.'
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 "'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.'
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 "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.
“Nendi musebebenshi walapewa mali myanda likumi, walambeti, ‘Nkambo ndacishibangeti mwaipa moyo, mukute kutebula nkomwabula kubyala, ne kuyobolola nkomwabula kumwaya mbuto.
25 So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
Neco ndatinanga, encondalafumbikila mucisengu mali enu, nomba ntawa mali enu.’
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?
Mwami wakendi usa walamwambileti, njobe musebenshi waipa, kayi mutolo. Anu wacishibangeti, nkute kutebula nkondalabula kubyala ne kuyobolola nkondalabula kumwaya mbuto.
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.
Neco wanga welela kuya kwibikisha ku banki kwambeti mpondesa ne ndatambulu mali ne bwili.
28 So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'
Lino mulamuneni awo mali, mupe uyo ukute mali myanda makumi mwanda.
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.)
Ecebo cakendi uliyense ukuteko cintu, nibaka mubikilepo nabimbi, neco nakabe ne bintu bingi. Nomba uyo wabulapo cintu, nibaka mulamune nakaba kantu nkakute.
30 'But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping and the 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 comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,
“Cindi Mwana Muntu akesanga kali Mwami, pamo ne bangelo bonse, nakekale pa cipuna cabwami cakendi ca Bulemeneno.
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;
Nakabunganye bantu bamishobo yonse pantangu pakendi. Nakapansanyenga bantu mbuli mwembeshi ncakute kupansanya mbelele ne mpongo.
33 and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.
Mbelele nakashibikenga kucikasa cakendi ca kululyo, mpongo kucikasa cakendi ca kucipiko.
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.
Neco, Mwami nakambile abo bali kucikasa cakululyo, ‘Kamwisani kuno amwe mwalelekwa ne Bata! Kamwingilani mu Bwami mbwalamubambila kufuma pakulengwa kwacishi capanshi.’
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;
Pakwinga ndalanyumfwa nsala mwalampa cakulya. Ndalanyumfwa nyotwa, mwalampa menshi akunwa. Ndalikuba mwensu, mwalantambula kung'anda kwenu.
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.'
Ndalikuba matakosha, mwalamfwalika. ndalakolwa mwalanyamfwilisha. Ndalikuba mujele, mwalesa kumbona.”
37 "'When, Lord,' the righteous will reply, 'did we see Thee hungry, and feed Thee; or thirsty, and give Thee drink?
“Popelapo balulama nibakepusheti, ‘Nkambo twalamubona kupeyo kamunyumfwa nsala, afwe ne kumupa cakulya nambi kamunyumfwa nyotwa, afwe ne kumupa menshi akunwa.
38 When did we see Thee homeless, and give Thee a welcome? or ill-clad, and clothe Thee?
Twalamubona lilyoni kamuli bensu, afwe ne kumutambula kumanda etu, nambi kamuli matakosha, afwe ne kumufwalika?
39 When did we see Thee sick or in prison, and come to see Thee?'
Ni lilyoni mpotwalanyumfwapo eti mulakolwanga, nambi eti muli mujele, afwe ne kwisa kumubona?
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.'
Mwami na kabakumbuleti “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mpomwalikwinshila ibi kubanse bakame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikwinshila ame ndepele.”
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)
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 when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat; when thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink;
Ndalikunyumfwa nsala, muliya kumpa cakulya. Ndalikunyumfwa nyotwa, muliya kumpa menshi akunwa.
43 when homeless, you gave me no welcome; ill-clad, you clothed me not; sick or in prison, you visited me not.'
Ndalikuba mwensu muliya kuntambula kumanda enu, ndalikuba matakosha, muliya kumfwalika. Ndalikukolwa, kayi ndalikuba mujele, muliya kwisa kunyamfwilisha.”
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?'
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 "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.'
Nendi Mwami nakabakumbuleti, ‘Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, pacindi ncomwalikukana kunyamfwa banse bame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikukana kunyamfwa ame.’
