Matthew 25
1 'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, 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 prudent, and five foolish;
Nsano ŵao ŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ni nsano ŵaliji ŵakalamuka.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Ŵaŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵajigele ibatali yao, nambo nganajigala mauta ga akiba.
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Nambo ŵele ŵaŵaliji ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajigele mauta mu yupa pamo ni ibatali yao.
5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Pakuŵa ambuje ŵaulombela ŵakaŵile kwika, achiŵali ŵala wose ŵagwesele ni kugona.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
Nambo sikati chilo nnope kwapali kunyokonya, ‘Nnole! Ambuje ŵaulombela akwika, njaule nkaachingamile.’
7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
Pelepo achiŵali ŵala wose ŵajimwiche, ŵaiŵisile chile ibatali yao.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Ŵele ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵaasalile ŵakalamuka kuti, ‘Mtupe mauta genu kanandi pakuŵa ibatali yetu ikusimika.’
9 and the prudent answered, saying — Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.
Nambo ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajanjile, ‘Ngagatukwana uwe ni ŵanyamwe! Mmbaya njaule kwa kusumisya nkalisumile mwachinsyene!’
10 'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, 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 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
Kanyuma achiŵali ŵane ŵala ŵaiche, ŵaaŵilasile, ‘Achimwene, achimwene, ntuugulile!’
12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, ngangummanyilila ŵanyamwe.’”
13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye, pakuŵa ngankumanyilila lyuŵa atamuno saa pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu.
14 'For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
“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, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
Ŵampele kila jumo ichaikombole, jumo maunjili nsano ga mbiya, ni jwine maunjili gaŵili ni jwine liunjili limo, ni ŵajawile.
16 'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
Nipele, juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵajawile kukusumisya malonda ni ŵapatile mbiya sine maunjili nsano.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Ilaila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili jula, ŵapatile sine maunjili gaŵili.
18 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, 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 'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
“Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, achimwene jwa ŵakutumichila ŵala ŵausile, ni ŵatandite kuŵalanjila mbiya sisyatumiche ni mbiya sisyapatikene mu mbiya syakwe.
20 and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, 'Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.
Katumetume juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵaiche ali ajigele gane nsano, ŵaasalile, ‘Achimwene, mwambele maunjili nsano ga mbiya, nnole, nyonjechesye maunjili gane nsano.’
21 'And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter 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 'And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain 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, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter 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 'And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;
“Nambo juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula ŵaiche, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, nguimanyilila kuti mwe ndi ŵakulimba, mmweji nkugungula pa nganimpande, ni kusonganganya panganimmisa.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
Najogwepe, najisisile mbiya jenu paasi. Nipele njigale mbiya jenu.’
26 'And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!
“Achimwene jwao ŵanjanjile, ‘Mwe ndi jwakutumichila jwangalumbana ni jwa ulesi! Nkuumanyilila kuti une ngugungula panganimbande, ni kusonganganya panganimisa.
27 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
Nipele yammajile kujiŵika mbiya jangu mu nyuumba ja kugosela mbiya, none pachiiche ngajijigele jajili jangu ni chakonjecheka chakwe!
28 'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Munsumule mbiya jo mumpe jwakwete mbiya maunjili likumi.
29 for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;
Pakuŵa, jwali ni chindu chapegwe ni konjechekwa. Nambo jwanganakola chindu, ata chele chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
30 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Yankati jwakutumichila jwangaikanacho chakonjecheka, mumponye paasa ku chipi! Kweleko chikuŵe ni kulila ni kuchilimya meeno.’”
31 'And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a 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 gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,
Ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose chasongangane mmbujo mwao, nombe chachalekanganya ŵandu mpela ŵakuchinga yakuti pakusilekanganya ngondolo ni mbusi.
33 and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
Chaachisiŵika ngondolo yaani ŵandu ŵambone kundyo kwakwe ni mbusi yaani ŵandu ŵangalumbana kunchiji kwakwe.
34 'Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been 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 did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;
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 put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
Naliji matakope, ŵanyamwe mwandakwisye ni naliji jwakulwala ŵanyamwe mwaaiche kukuunola ni naliji jwantawe ŵanyamwe mwanyimajimile.’
37 'Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to 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 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
Ana chakachi twammweni nli jwannendo ni kumpochela, pane matakope ni kuntakusya?
39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
Chakachi twammweni ndi nkulwala pane jwantawe ni kwika kukunnola?’
40 'And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren — the least — to me ye did [it].
Mwenye chiŵajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, chachilichose chimwantendele jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achalongo ŵangu achanandi, mwandendele une.’
41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (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 did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
Pakuŵa jangwete sala nganimumba chakulya, jangwete njota nganimumba meesi.
43 a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.
Naliji jwannendo nganimumbochela mmajumba genu ni panaliji matakope nganimumba nguo ni nalwalaga ni nataŵikwe nganinnyika kukulola.’
44 'Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we 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 shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of these, the least, ye did [it] not to me.
Mwenye chajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, kila pamwakanaga kumpanganichisya gelega jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achanandi ŵa, mwakanile kuumbanganichisya une.’
