Mathayo 25
1 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũkaahaananio na airĩtu ikũmi arĩa mooire matawa mao, makiumagara nĩguo magatũnge mũhikania.
Then will be likened the kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins who having taken the lamps (their own *N(k)O*) went forth to (meet *N(k)O*) the bridegroom.
2 Atano ao maarĩ akĩĩgu, na atano maarĩ oogĩ.
Five now of them were foolish and (the [other] *k*) five wise;
3 Acio akĩĩgu nĩmakuuire matawa mao, no matiakuuire maguta.
(Those [who] *N(k)O*) (for *no*) foolish having taken the lamps (of them *N(k)O*) not did take with their own oil,
4 No rĩrĩ, acio oogĩ, nĩmakuuire maguta na cuba, o hamwe na matawa mao.
but the wise took oil in the vessels (of them *k*) with the lamps (their own. *N(k)O*)
5 Na rĩrĩ, Mũhikania nĩaikarire angĩgooka, na othe magĩcũnga, magĩkoma.
As was tarrying then the bridegroom they became drowsy all and were sleeping.
6 “Na ũtukũ gatagatĩ gũkĩanĩrĩrwo atĩrĩ: ‘Mũhikania nĩ mũũku! Umai mũkamũtũnge!’
At middle then of [the] night a cry there was: Behold the bridegroom (comes *k*) do go forth to meet him!
7 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo airĩtu othe magĩũkĩra, magĩthondeka matawa mao.
Then arose all the virgins those and trimmed the lamps (their own. *N(k)O*)
8 Acio akĩĩgu makĩĩra acio oogĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Tũgaĩrei maguta manyu tondũ; matawa maitũ nĩmarahora.’
And the foolish to the wise said; do give us of the oil of you, for the lamps of us are going out.
9 “No acio oogĩ makĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, matingĩtũigana na mamũigane. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, thiĩi kũrĩ arĩa mendagia maguta mũkegũrĩre manyu.’
Answered then the wise saying; otherwise otherwise certainly (not even *no*) it may suffice for us and you. do go (now *k*) rather to those selling and do 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.
[While] are going away then they to buy came the bridegroom, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and was shut the door.
11 “Thuutha ũcio airĩtu acio angĩ o nao magĩũka. Makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani! Mwathani! Tũhingũrĩre mũrango!’
Afterward then come also the other virgins saying; lord lord, do open to us!
12 “Nowe agĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, niĩ ndimũũĩ.’
And answering he said; Amen I say to you; not I do know you.
13 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mwĩhũgagei, tondũ mũtiũĩ mũthenya kana thaa.
do watch therefore, for neither do you know the day nor [know] the hour (in who son of man comes. *K*)
14 “Ningĩ, ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũkaahaananio na mũndũ wathiiaga rũgendo, nake agĩĩta ndungata ciake, agĩciĩhokera indo ciake.
[It is] like for a man going on a journey [who] called [his] own servants and delivered to them the possessions of him.
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 indeed he gave five talents, to one however two, to one however one, to each according to the [their] own ability; and he left the region. immediately
16 Ndungata ĩrĩa yaneetwo taranda ithano ĩgĩthiĩ o hĩndĩ ĩyo, ĩkĩonjorithia mbeeca ciayo, na ĩkĩona uumithio wa taranda ingĩ ithano.
Having gone (now *ko*) the [one] the five talents having received he traded with them and (he gained *N(k)O*) more five (talents; *K*)
17 O nayo ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda igĩrĩ ĩkĩonjorithia ĩkĩona uumithio wa ingĩ igĩrĩ.
Likewise (and *ko*) the [one with] the two gained (and he [gained] *k*) more two.
18 No ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda ĩmwe ĩgĩthiĩ, ĩkĩenja irima, ĩkĩhitha mbeeca cia mwathi wayo.
however one having received having gone away he dug in (in the *k*) (ground *N(k)O*) and (he hid *N(k)O*) the money of the master of him.
19 “Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya, mwathi wa ndungata icio nĩacookire na agĩciĩta nĩguo iheane ũhoro wa mathabu ma mbeeca ciake.
After then much time comes the master of the servants those and takes account with them.
20 Ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda ithano ĩkĩrehe ingĩ ithano, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa, waheire taranda ithano. Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩĩthũkũmĩte ingĩ ithano.’
And having come the [one] the five talents having received he brought to [him] other five talents saying; Master, five talents to me you did deliver; Behold more five talents I gained (upon them. *k*)
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!’
was saying (now *k*) to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
22 “Ndungata ĩrĩa yaheetwo taranda igĩrĩ o nayo ĩgĩũka. Ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa waheire taranda igĩrĩ! Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩthũkũmĩte ingĩ igĩrĩ.’
Having come then also the [one] with the two talents (having taken *k*) he said; Master, two talents to me you did deliver; Behold more two talents I gained (upon them. *k*)
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!’
was saying to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
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.
Having come then also the one talent having received he said; Master, I knew you that hard you are a man reaping where not you did sow and gathering from where not you did scatter;
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndetigĩrire, ngĩthiĩ ngĩhitha taranda yaku thĩ. Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no ĩrĩa yaku ndagũcookeria.’
And having been afraid having gone away I hid the talent of you in the ground; Behold you have what [is] yours.
26 “Nake mwathi wayo akĩmĩcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndungata ĩno njaganu na ngũũtaru! Ũguo nĩ wooĩ atĩ ngethaga kũrĩa itahaandĩte, na ngongania kũrĩa itaahurĩte mbeũ?
answering now the master of him said to him; Wicked servant and lazy! You knew that I reap where not I sowed and I gather from where not I scattered?
27 Gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũiga mbeeca ciakwa bengi, na ndacooka-rĩ, nĩingĩacookerio mbeeca ciakwa irĩ hamwe na uumithio wacio.
It was necessary you therefore to put (the coins *N(k)O*) of mine to the bankers, and having come I myself received then would my own with interest.
28 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mĩtunyei taranda ĩyo, mũmĩnengere ũrĩa ũrĩ na taranda ikũmi.
do take therefore from him the talent and do give [it] to the [one] having the 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 having to everyone will be given and he will have in abundance; (from *k*) the [one] however not having, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
30 Oyai ndungata ĩyo ĩtarĩ bata mũmĩikie nja kũu nduma-inĩ, kũrĩa gũgaakorwo kĩrĩro na kũhagarania magego.’
And the worthless servant (do cast out *N(k)O*) into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the 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.
When then may come the Son of Man in the glory of Him and all the (holy *K*) angels with Him, then He will sit upon [the] throne of glory of Him,
32 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩigacookanĩrĩrio mbere yake, nake nĩakamũrania andũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa angĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi aamũranagia ngʼondu na mbũri.
And (they will be gathered *N(k)O*) before Him all the nations, and He will separate them from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 Nĩakaiga ngʼondu mwena wake wa ũrĩo, na mbũri aciige mwena wake wa ũmotho.
And He will set indeed the sheep on [the] right hand of Him, however the goats on [the] 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 will say the King to those on [the] right hand of Him; Come you who [are] blessed of the Father of mine, do inherit the prepared for you kingdom from [the] foundation of [the] world.
35 Nĩgũkorwo ndaarĩ mũhũũtu mũkĩĩhe gĩa kũrĩa, na ndaarĩ mũnyootu mũkĩĩhe gĩa kũnyua, na ndaarĩ mũgeni mũkĩĩnyiita ũgeni,
I hungered for and you gave Me to eat, I thirsted and you gave to drink me, a stranger I was and you took in Me,
36 na ndaarĩ njaga mũkĩĩhe nguo, na ndaarĩ mũrũaru na inyuĩ mũkĩĩmenyerera, o na ndaarĩ njeera na mũgĩũka kũndora.’
naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, in prison I was 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 will answer Him the righteous saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering and fed [You] Or thirsting and gave [You] to drink?
38 Na nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũgeni tũgĩkũnyiita ũgeni, kana ũrĩ njaga tũgĩkũhe nguo?
When now You saw we a stranger and took [You] in Or naked and clothed [You]?
39 O na nĩ rĩ twakuonire ũrĩ mũrũaru kana ũrĩ njeera na tũgĩũka gũkũrora?’
When now You saw we (ailing *N(k)O*) or in prison and came to You?
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 answering the King will say to them; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as you did [it] to one of these the brothers of Mine of the least, to Me myself you did [it].
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 will He say also to those on [the] left; do depart from Me you who [are] cursed into the fire eternal which prepared for the devil and the angels of him. (aiōnios g166)
42 Nĩgũkorwo ndaarĩ mũhũũtu na mũtiaheire gĩa kũrĩa, na ndaarĩ mũnyootu na mũtiaheire gĩa kũnyua,
I hungered for and nothing you gave to Me to eat, (and *o*) I thirsted and nothing You gave to drink Me,
43 na ndaarĩ mũgeni na mũtianyiitire ũgeni, ndaarĩ njaga na mũtiaheire nguo, ndaarĩ mũrũaru na ndaarĩ njeera na mũtiokire kũnyona.’
a stranger I was and not You took in Me, naked and not you did clothe Me, sick and in prison and not did you 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 will answer (to him *k*) also themselves saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering or thirsting or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not did minister to You?
45 “Nake nĩakamacookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũndũ o wothe mũteekire ũmwe wa aya anini mũno, nĩ niĩ mũteekĩire.’
Then will He answer to them saying; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as not you did [it] to one of these the least, neither to Me myself did you.
