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.
'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
2 Bi siiga bobinu den ki tie yandanba, ama bonbimu wani den pia mi yanma.
and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
3 Bi yan pia danba taa bi bi fidisamu baa den tiadi ki taa mi kpama ki kubi.
they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
4 Ama bi yandanba wani dentiadi ki tami kpama.
and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
5 O poja nden waagi, kaapunditonma, mi guama den gulibikuliki bi guani.
'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
6 Gu yɔgisiigu ke bi kpaadi kiyigini. O poja pundo. Fi mani tin tuogi o.
and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
7 Bani Jafa nba piga yeni kulifiiki bobini bi fidisanmu.
'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
8 Ke bi yanpiadanba maadi, biyandanba, puni ti mani ti mi kpama kelima ti fidisanmu gbindi.
and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because 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.
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.
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.
'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;
11 Lan pugini waamu, ke bi pundi ki maadi: «canba, canba, luodi ti po li ganli tinkua.»
and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
13 Ti yapo, yin daa gɔa mani kelima yii bani li daali ki buali li yogunu.
'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
14 Li baa tie yenmanani yaa jua n den ca o sanu, ki yini o tuosɔnba ki teni ba o piama.
'For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
15 O den taa dibalamu kiteni cincinliyua, o lielo ligibalalie, o taalo ligibaliyenlo, o denteni yua kuli yeni o palu n dagidi maama.
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.
16 Yua den gaa ligibalamuu dentaa ki sɔni li tuonli ki ba ligibala muu ki pugini.
'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
17 Yua go den gaalibalalie mo den sɔni ki baa ligibalalie ki pugini.
in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
18 Ama o taalo yua den gaa ligibalayenli, den gadi ki pan gbiidi yaa buogun yabi ki ta ocanba ligiki piini.
and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord'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.
'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning 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.»
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.
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.»
'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.
22 Yua den gaa ligibalalie n cua ki yedi: «canba, a den teni nni ligibalalie n sɔni ki baa ligibalalie kipugini.
'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.
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 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.
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.
'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;
25 N den jie ŋaa ki ta a ligitanli ki gbiidi ki piini, Diidi a ligitanli n yeni, gaa.
and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
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
'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!
27 a den kan fidi ki ta nligitanli ki gadi ki bili liligidieli nni, halimin kpeni i, li bo baa mali n po.
it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
28 Gaa mani o ligitanyenli ki teni mani yua n pia ligitana piiga.
'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the 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 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;
30 Lu mani o niinpo nani n biigi, li bubuuliyeni fala n baa ye naani.
and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 Yaa yogunu ke oja bija baa guanni yeni o kpiagidi yeni o malekinba, o baa kali o badidiema po.
'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;
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.
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,
33 O baa bili i ŋɔañe o jienu, a ŋɔatona o kaanu.
and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the 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 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;
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 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;
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.
naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto 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 shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave 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?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
39 bii li laa daali ke a den yia, bii ki ye li yonmidieli nni ke ti cua ki fuondi a?
and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
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 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].
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 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)
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 did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
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.
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?
'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?
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 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.
