Mathayo 25
1 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũkaahaananio na airĩtu ikũmi arĩa mooire matawa mao, makiumagara nĩguo magatũnge mũhikania.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Atano ao maarĩ akĩĩgu, na atano maarĩ oogĩ.
And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 Acio akĩĩgu nĩmakuuire matawa mao, no matiakuuire maguta.
But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4 No rĩrĩ, acio oogĩ, nĩmakuuire maguta na cuba, o hamwe na matawa mao.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5 Na rĩrĩ, Mũhikania nĩaikarire angĩgooka, na othe magĩcũnga, magĩkoma.
And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “Na ũtukũ gatagatĩ gũkĩanĩrĩrwo atĩrĩ: ‘Mũhikania nĩ mũũku! Umai mũkamũtũnge!’
And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo airĩtu othe magĩũkĩra, magĩthondeka matawa mao.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Acio akĩĩgu makĩĩra acio oogĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Tũgaĩrei maguta manyu tondũ; matawa maitũ nĩmarahora.’
And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9 “No acio oogĩ makĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, matingĩtũigana na mamũigane. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, thiĩi kũrĩ arĩa mendagia maguta mũkegũrĩre manyu.’
The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 “No rĩrĩa maarĩ njĩra-inĩ magĩthiĩ kũgũra maguta-rĩ, mũhikania agĩkinya. Airĩtu arĩa mehaarĩirie magĩtoonya kĩhikanio-inĩ hamwe na mũhikania. Naguo mũrango ũkĩhingwo.
Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 “Thuutha ũcio airĩtu acio angĩ o nao magĩũka. Makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani! Mwathani! Tũhingũrĩre mũrango!’
But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 “Nowe agĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, niĩ ndimũũĩ.’
But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mwĩhũgagei, tondũ mũtiũĩ mũthenya kana thaa.
Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14 “Ningĩ, ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũkaahaananio na mũndũ wathiiaga rũgendo, nake agĩĩta ndungata ciake, agĩciĩhokera indo ciake.
For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 Akĩnengera ĩmwe yacio taranda ithano cia mbeeca, na ĩngĩ taranda igĩrĩ, na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ taranda ĩmwe, o ndungata kũringana na ũhoti wayo. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ rũgendo.
And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16 Ndungata ĩrĩa yaneetwo taranda ithano ĩgĩthiĩ o hĩndĩ ĩyo, ĩkĩonjorithia mbeeca ciayo, na ĩkĩona uumithio wa taranda ingĩ ithano.
And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17 O nayo ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda igĩrĩ ĩkĩonjorithia ĩkĩona uumithio wa ingĩ igĩrĩ.
And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18 No ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda ĩmwe ĩgĩthiĩ, ĩkĩenja irima, ĩkĩhitha mbeeca cia mwathi wayo.
But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 “Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya, mwathi wa ndungata icio nĩacookire na agĩciĩta nĩguo iheane ũhoro wa mathabu ma mbeeca ciake.
But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 Ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda ithano ĩkĩrehe ingĩ ithano, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa, waheire taranda ithano. Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩĩthũkũmĩte ingĩ ithano.’
And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21 “Nake mwathi wayo akĩmĩcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwĩkĩte wega, wee ndungata ĩno njega na ya kwĩhokeka! Nĩũtuĩkĩte mwĩhokeku harĩ indo nini; nĩngũgũtua mũrori wa indo nyingĩ. Ũka ũtoonye gĩkeno-inĩ kĩa mwathi waku!’
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 “Ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda igĩrĩ o nayo ĩgĩũka. Ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa waheire taranda igĩrĩ! Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩthũkũmĩte ingĩ igĩrĩ.’
And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23 “Nake mwathi wayo akĩmĩcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩwĩkĩte wega, wee ndungata ĩno njega na ya kwĩhokeka! Nĩũtuĩkĩte mwĩhokeku harĩ indo nini; nĩ ngũgũtua mũrori wa indo nyingĩ. Ũka ũtoonye gĩkeno-inĩ kĩa Mwathi waku!’
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 “Nayo ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda ĩmwe o nayo ĩgĩũka. Ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa, nĩ ndooĩ atĩ wee wĩ mũndũ mwĩĩ, ũgethaga kũrĩa ũtahandĩte, na ũkongania kũrĩa ũtaahandire mbeũ.
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndetigĩrire, ngĩthiĩ ngĩhitha taranda yaku thĩ. Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no ĩrĩa yaku ndagũcookeria.’
And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26 “Nake mwathi wayo akĩmĩcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndungata ĩno njaganu na ngũũtaru! Ũguo nĩ wooĩ atĩ ngethaga kũrĩa itahaandĩte, na ngongania kũrĩa itaahurĩte mbeũ?
And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 Gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũiga mbeeca ciakwa bengi, na ndacooka-rĩ, nĩingĩacookerio mbeeca ciakwa irĩ hamwe na uumithio wacio.
Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mĩtunyei taranda ĩyo, mũmĩnengere ũrĩa ũrĩ na taranda ikũmi.
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na indo nĩwe ũkoongererwo ingĩ nyingĩ na akĩrĩrĩrio. Nake ũrĩa ũtarĩ, o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo nĩagatuunywo.
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30 Oyai ndungata ĩyo ĩtarĩ bata mũmĩikie nja kũu nduma-inĩ, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.’
And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agooka arĩ na riiri wake, na araika othe marĩ hamwe nake, nĩagaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene na kĩrĩ riiri wa igũrũ.
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩigacookanĩrĩrio mbere yake, nake nĩakamũrania andũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa angĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi aamũranagia ngʼondu na mbũri.
And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33 Nĩakaiga ngʼondu mwena wake wa ũrĩo, na mbũri aciige mwena wake wa ũmotho.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 “Ningĩ Mũthamaki nĩakeera arĩa marĩ mwena wake wa ũrĩo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkai, inyuĩ mũrathimĩtwo nĩ Baba; oyai igai rĩa ũthamaki ũrĩa mwathondekeirwo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo.
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Nĩgũkorwo ndaarĩ mũhũũtu mũkĩĩhe gĩa kũrĩa, na ndaarĩ mũnyootu mũkĩĩhe gĩa kũnyua, na ndaarĩ mũgeni mũkĩĩnyiita ũgeni,
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 na ndaarĩ njaga mũkĩĩhe nguo, na ndaarĩ mũrũaru na inyuĩ mũkĩĩmenyerera, o na ndaarĩ njeera na mũgĩũka kũndora.’
Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa athingu nĩmakamũcookeria mamũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani, nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũhũũtu tũgĩkũhe gĩa kũrĩa, kana ũrĩ mũnyootu tũgĩkũhe gĩa kũnyua?
Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Na nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũgeni tũgĩkũnyiita ũgeni, kana ũrĩ njaga tũgĩkũhe nguo?
And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 O na nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũrũaru kana ũrĩ njeera na tũgĩũka gũkũrora?’
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 “Nake Mũthamaki nĩagacookia, ameere atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũndũ wothe mwekĩire ariũ a Baba o na arĩa anini mũno, nĩ niĩ mwekĩire.’
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41 “Ningĩ nĩakeera arĩa marĩ mwena wake wa ũmotho atĩrĩ, ‘Njehererai, inyuĩ mũrumĩtwo, mũthiĩ mwaki-inĩ wa tene na tene ũrĩa ũthondekeirwo mũcukani na araika ake. (aiōnios g166)
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Nĩgũkorwo ndaarĩ mũhũũtu na mũtiaheire gĩa kũrĩa, na ndaarĩ mũnyootu na mũtiaheire gĩa kũnyua,
For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 na ndaarĩ mũgeni na mũtianyiitire ũgeni, ndaarĩ njaga na mũtiaheire nguo, ndaarĩ mũrũaru na ndaarĩ njeera na mũtiokire kũnyona.’
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 “Nao nĩmagacookia, mamũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani, nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũhũũtu, kana ũrĩ mũnyootu, kana ũrĩ mũgeni, kana ũrĩ njaga, kana ũrĩ mũrũaru, o na kana ũrĩ njeera na tũtiagũteithirie?’
Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 “Nake nĩakamacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũndũ o wothe mũteekire ũmwe wa aya anini mũno, nĩ niĩ mũteekĩire.’
Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
