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;
Nitaroñe amo mpiama’eo indraike t’i Iesoà, ami’ty hoe: I fifehean-dikerañey, le ampanahafeñe ami’ty somondrara folo; songa ninday ty jiro-kapoa’e vaho nionjoñe hifanalaka amy mpañengay.
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
Nineñe naho votro ty lime, nahihitse naho nahimbañe ty lime.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Ninday o jiro’eo i lime nineñe rey, f’ie tsy nañandesañe solike,
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Ninday solike an-jonjòñe mindre amo jiro’eo i nahihitse rey.
5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Ie niroñoñ’ añe i mpañengay, le nilañahen-droro.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
Aa naho nivaki-miraleñe, inay ty koike: Inao, hitotsake i mpañengay, antao hifanalaka ama’e.
7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
Nitroatse amy zao i somondrara rey, nikotepe o jiro’eo.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Aa hoe i mineñe rey amo mahihitseo: Anoloro solike fa kípeke o jiro’aio.
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.
Hoe ty natoi’ i nahihitse rey: Aiy! hera tsy hahaeneñe ty anay naho ty anahareo: Akia hey mb’amo mpanao-balikeo, le ikalò ho anahareo.
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;
Aa ie nitoha hivily añe, nitotsake i mpañengay naho nindre ama’e mb’ an-tsabadidan-enga-vao ao o niveka’eo, vaho nagabeñe ty lalam-bey.
11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
Ie añe, loneake eo i somondrara mineñe rey nikoike amy lalambeiy ami’ty hoe: Rañandria, isokafo.
12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
Hoe ty natoi’e: Taroñeko ama’areo, toe alik’amako nahareo.
13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
Aa le mitaoa, fa tsy fohi’areo ndra ty andro ndra ty ora hitotsaha’ i mpañengay.
14 'For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
Hoe ka ty nandrazaña’ Iesoà amo mpiama’eo: Ampanahafeñe amy t’indaty mitaveañe añe; kinanji’e o mpitoro’eo, le nandivà’e vara.
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.
Tinolo’e bogady volamena lime ty raike, nanolora’e bogady volamena roe ty faharoe, vaho raike ty fahatelo; songa ty amy hahalefea’ey; vaho nañavelo amy lia’e añe.
16 'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
Nimb’eo i nandrambe bogady volamena limey le nahatovoñe lime.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Manahake izay, i nandrambe roey, nimb’eo re nikalo, nandetake, vaho nampitomboe’e [roe].
18 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Fe nimb’eo i nahazo raikey nihaly an-tane vaho nakafi’e ao i drala’ i talè’eiy.
19 'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
Ie roñoñe añe, niloneake ty talè’ i mpitoroñe rey vaho nampamolilia’e.
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.
Nitotoke mb’eo i nahazo bogady volamena limey le nanoa’e ty hoe: O Talè, tinolo’o bogady volamena lime iraho, Heheke te nampitomboeko lime.
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.
Hoe i talè’ey ama’e: Toe mpitoroñe soa naho migahin-drehe, amy te ihe nahambeñe i tsiampey le hampifehèko maro, miheova mb’am-pirebehan-talè’o.
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.
Nañarivo mb’eo ka i nandrambe bogady volamena roey, nanao ty hoe: O talè, tinolo’o bogady volamena roe, ingo, tinompeko roe ka.
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.
Hoe i talè’ey ama’e: Toe mpitoroñe soa naho migahin-drehe, amy te ihe nahambeñe i tsiampey le hampifehèko maro, miheova mb’am-pirebehan-talè’o.
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;
Pok’eo i nahazo i raikeiy, nanao ty hoe: O talè, apotako t’ie ondaty gañe, mitatake ty tsy nitongisa’o vaho mampitoboroñe ty tsy nandraraha’o.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
Aa kanao ihembañako, nimb’eo le nahajako i bogady volamena’oy; intoy i azoy ho ama’o.
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!
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i talè’ey: Ty mpitoroñe tsivokatse naho tembo toy, ie nifohi’o te mitatake ty tsy nitongisako naho manontoñe ty tsy nandrarahako,
27 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
aa vaho tsy ho najo’o amo bankeo o dralakoo, le izaho nimpoly ho nahazo ty ahiko rekets’ ana’e.
28 'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Aa le rambeso ama’e i bogady volamenay, vaho atoloro amy nanovoñe bogady volamena limey.
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;
I manañey ty ho tolorañe; fe amy tsy manañey, ndra ty kede tinendre ho aze ro haloly ama’e.
30 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Le avokovokò ami’ty fimoromoroñan’ ankeokeoke ao i mpitoroñe votroy, ho ama’e ty fangololoihañe naho aly vazañe.
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;
Ie totsake atoy amañ’enge’e i Ana’ ondatiy rekets’ o hene navahe’eo, le hiambesatse amy fiambesam-bolonahe’ey.
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,
Hatontoñe añatrefa’e eo ze kilakila’ ondaty, le havahe’e hambañe ami’ty fañavaha’ ty mpiarake amo oseo o añondrio.
33 and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
Hanoe’e an-kavana eo o añondrio naho an-kavia’e eo o oseo.
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;
Le hoe ty ho tsarae’ i Mpanjakay amo ankavana’eo: Mihovà ry nitahien-dRaekoo, lovao i fifehean-dikerañe nihalankañeñe ho anahareo boak’ amy namboareñe ty voatse toiy pake henaneoy;
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;
amy te nikerè iraho le nanjotsoa’ areo haneñe; naran-drano le nampinome’ areo; niambahiny le nampihovae’ areo;
36 naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
nibolositse le nampisikine’areo; nisiloke le nitilihe’areo; ie tam-porozò ao le nimb’ amako nahareo.
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?
Le hoe ty hatoi’ o vañoñeo: O Talè, ombia ty nahatreava’ay Azo saliko te nahaanjañ’ azo? ndra taliñiereñe te nampikama’ay rano?
38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
nibongy t’ie sinalo’ay?
39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
natindry t’ie nitilihe’ay, tambalabey te nomb’ ama’o ao?
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].
Hoe ty hatoi’ i Mpanjakay am’iareo: Eka! to t’itaroñako te, ndra mbia’ mbia nanoe’ areo amo misotry retiañe, ndra amo kedekedeke retoañe, le nanoe’ areo amako.
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)
Le hoe ka ty hanoe’e amo an-kavia’eo: Misitaha amako ty fokompatse, mb’ amy afo tsy modoy, mb’amy toetse kinotepe ho anahareo naho i mpañìnjey vaho o anjeli’eoy. (aiōnios g166)
42 for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
amy te nikerè iraho, fe tsy nifahana’ areo, naran-drano fe tsy nampinòme’ areo,
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.
niambahiny fe tsy nampizilihe’ areo, nihalo fe tsy nampisikine’ areo, narare vaho tan-drohy ao fe tsy nitilihe’ areo.
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?
Le hoe ty hatoi’ iareo: Ombia ty nifankanjoa’ay ama’o, ry Talè, te nisaliko, taliñiereñe ndra mpañavelo, nibongy, nisiloke ndra am-balabey ao le tsy tama’o nañimb’Azo zahay?
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.
Inao ty hatoi’e: Taroñeko ama’ areo, ndra mbia’ mbia tsy nanoe’ areo ami’ty raike amo poie’e retiañe, ndra amo kedekede retoañe le tsy nanoe’ areo amako.
