Matiewo 25
1 Lanwani tapoli po diema baa naani nani Jafa nba piiga yaaba n den ta bi fidisanmu ki bua cindi o po ja yeni.
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Bi siiga bobinu den ki tie yandanba, ama bonbimu wani den pia mi yanma.
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Bi yan pia danba taa bi bi fidisamu baa den tiadi ki taa mi kpama ki kubi.
The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.
4 Ama bi yandanba wani dentiadi ki tami kpama.
But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
5 O poja nden waagi, kaapunditonma, mi guama den gulibikuliki bi guani.
When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 Gu yɔgisiigu ke bi kpaadi kiyigini. O poja pundo. Fi mani tin tuogi o.
At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 Bani Jafa nba piga yeni kulifiiki bobini bi fidisanmu.
Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8 Ke bi yanpiadanba maadi, biyandanba, puni ti mani ti mi kpama kelima ti fidisanmu gbindi.
The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 Ama ke bi yandanma maadi, li kan fiditin tieni ti yaa fidisanmu nni yeni yi yaa yumu nni, gadi mani yaaba n kuadi kani ki da yi yali mo.
‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 Ban gadi ki baa daa mi kpama, ke o poja pundi, ke bi yandanba kua yeni o li pogalikani, ke bi luoni li ganli.
But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
11 Lan pugini waamu, ke bi pundi ki maadi: «canba, canba, luodi ti po li ganli tinkua.»
Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
13 Ti yapo, yin daa gɔa mani kelima yii bani li daali ki buali li yogunu.
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
14 Li baa tie yenmanani yaa jua n den ca o sanu, ki yini o tuosɔnba ki teni ba o piama.
For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.
15 O den taa dibalamu kiteni cincinliyua, o lielo ligibalalie, o taalo ligibaliyenlo, o denteni yua kuli yeni o palu n dagidi maama.
To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
16 Yua den gaa ligibalamuu dentaa ki sɔni li tuonli ki ba ligibala muu ki pugini.
The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.
17 Yua go den gaalibalalie mo den sɔni ki baa ligibalalie ki pugini.
Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.
18 Ama o taalo yua den gaa ligibalayenli, den gadi ki pan gbiidi yaa buogun yabi ki ta ocanba ligiki piini.
But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 Li den waagi ke canba ti ñani u sanu ki kpeni ki yini bi kuli ki wan diidi yua kuli yaa tuonli n tie maama.
After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them.
20 Yua n den gaa ligibalamu n nagini o canba kani ki yedi: «Canba n den gaa ligibalamu ki sɔni ki baa ligibalamu ki pugini.»
The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
21 O canba n yedi o: «li ŋani, a tie yaa tuonsɔnlo n mɔni, a den gaa waamu ki fidi ki kubi. N baa guuni a yaala n yabi. Cua ke yaa ye yeni nni li pamanli n deni.»
His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
22 Yua den gaa ligibalalie n cua ki yedi: «canba, a den teni nni ligibalalie n sɔni ki baa ligibalalie kipugini.
The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’
23 O canba den yedi o, li ŋani a tie yaatuonsɔnlo n mɔni, a den gaa waamu ki fidi ki kubi, n baa guuni a yaala n yabi, cua ki yaa ye yeni nni li pamanli n deni.
His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
24 Yua n den gaa ligibaliyenli n mɔ n cua ki yedi: «canba, n bani ke a tie yaa nilo n paa. A yendi ŋan ki buli nani kani ki wodi ŋan ki lendi naani.
Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 N den jie ŋaa ki ta a ligitanli ki gbiidi ki piini, Diidi a ligitanli n yeni, gaa.
So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
26 O canba den ŋmiani o a tie nibiado yo, ŋaa bua fala, a den bani ke n yendi min ki buli naani, ki wodi min kilindi naani
‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27 a den kan fidi ki ta nligitanli ki gadi ki bili liligidieli nni, halimin kpeni i, li bo baa mali n po.
Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
28 Gaa mani o ligitanyenli ki teni mani yua n pia ligitana piiga.
Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
29 kelima yua n pia, bi baa pugini o wan yaa pia ke li yabi ama yua n ki pia baa wan pia yaala wamuu, bi baa gaa.
For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 Lu mani o niinpo nani n biigi, li bubuuliyeni fala n baa ye naani.
And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31 Yaa yogunu ke oja bija baa guanni yeni o kpiagidi yeni o malekinba, o baa kali o badidiema po.
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 I nibuoli kuli baa taani okani wan paadi yua kuli yeni o kaanu nani o yankpaalo n yi paadi i ŋɔañe yeni a ŋɔatona maama.
All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 O baa bili i ŋɔañe o jienu, a ŋɔatona o kaanu.
He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
34 Yeni o badi baa yedi yaaba n ye o jienu po: «kua mani yinba yaaba ke nba yadi mi yediŋanma i po, kua mani mi badidiema nni yaama ke nba den bobini i po hali ŋanduna n cili yaa yogunu o.
Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 kelima mi koma den pianni ki puni nni ti jiedi ke n dini, u ñinñunu den pia nni kipuni nni mi ñinma ke n ñuni. Min den tua caano, i den gaa nni i deni.
For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,
36 N den paa cankpalonli, ki den yie nni ti tiadi, min den ki pia laafia mɔ, i den dogidi nni, min den ye li yonmidielinni, i den cua ki fuondi nni.
I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
37 Ke bi gua ŋmiani o; ti yonmidaano, li laa daali ke ti den laa ŋa ke n koma pia ŋa ke ti teni a ti jiedike a dini? bi ke o ñinñuuni pia ŋa ke ti tena mi ñunma ke a ñuni?
Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?
38 bii a den tua caano bi yaa daali ti dogu nni ke ti gaa ŋaa? bii ke o ñinñuuni pia ŋa ke ti puni a mi ñunma ke a ñunii?
When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39 bii li laa daali ke a den yia, bii ki ye li yonmidieli nni ke ti cua ki fuondi a?
When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
40 ke o bado ŋmiani ba, yeni i momɔni maadi yua n den tieni bi kpiiba ne siiga baa yua n tie biñidiga tieni mini.
And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
41 Li yaa puoli po u baa gadi ki yedi yaaba n ye u ganu po, fagidimani n kani, yin bia mani i kuli, gadi mani u fantanbuogu nni yagu n den ke n den tuodi ki bobini sitaani yeni o malekinba po. (aiōnios g166)
Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 kelima mi koma den cuo nni ke i teni nni ti jiedi ke n dini, o ñinñuuni mo den cuo nni, ke i teni mi ñunma ke n ñun. N go den tua caani i dogu nni, ke i gaani, n go den paa cankpalonli, ke i yieni nni, ke n gɔ den yiagi li yonmidielinni, ke i cua ki fuondi nni.
For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 Ke bi gua maadi: «ti yonmidaano, li laa yaa daali ke ti den laa ŋa ke mi koma pia ŋa, bii ñinñuuni pia ŋa, bii ke a tua caano, bii ke a tua caano, bii ke a paa cankpalonli, bii ke a yia bii ke a ye li yonmidieli nni?
And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
45 ke o guani ki ŋmianba: N maadi i momɔni nni yaala ke de tieni yaaba ne siiga kuli, yua n tie i biga, i den tieni mini.
Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
