Matye 25
1 Se konsa, nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la se va tankou istwa dis jennfi ki pran lanp yo, ki soti al kontre msye marye a.
Then may the kingdom of heaven be compared to ten virgins, who went out with their lamps to meet the bridegroom.
2 Senk nan yo te tèt chaje, senk lòt yo te gen bon konprann.
Of these, five were prudent and five foolish.
3 Tèt chaje yo te pran lanp yo ase. Yo pa t' pote gaz an rezèv.
The foolish took their lamps, but carried no oil with them.
4 Men sa ki te gen bon konprann yo te pote yon boutèy plen gaz ansanm ak lanp yo.
But the prudent, besides their lamps, carried oil in their vessels.
5 Pandan yo t'ap tann msye marye a ki te an reta, yo tout pran kabicha, dòmi vòlò yo.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all became drowsy, and fell asleep.
6 Nan mitan lannwit lan, yon rèl pati: Men msye marye a. Ann al kontre li.
And at midnight a cry was raised, The bridegroom is coming, go out and meet him.
7 Dis jennfi yo leve, yo pran pare lanp yo.
Then all the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Tèt chaje yo mande sak gen bon konprann yo: Tanpri, ban nou ti gout nan gaz nou pote a, paske lanp pa nou yo ap mouri.
And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 Men, senk ki te gen bon konprann yo reponn: Non, nou pa kapab, paske pa gen ase pou nou tout. Pito n' al achte nan men machann yo.
But the prudent answered, saying, Lest there be not enough for us and you, go rather to them who sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Antan tèt chaje yo al achte gaz la, msye marye a vin rive. Senk jennfi ki te pare yo antre ansanm avè l' nan kay nòs la. Yo fèmen pòt la dèyè yo.
While they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 Pita, lòt jennfi yo vin rive, yo di konsa: Mèt, Mèt, louvri pou nou.
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Master, Master, open to us.
12 Men msye marye a reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: m' pa konnen nou.
He answered, Indeed, I say to you, I know you not.
13 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske, nou pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive.
Watch, therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Vwala, se va tankou yon nonm ki tapral pati pou yon vwayaj. Li rele domestik li yo, li mete yo reskonsab byen li yo.
For the Son of Man is like one who intending to travel, called his servants, and committed to them his stock;
15 Li bay yonn senkmil (5.000) goud, li bay yon lòt demil (2.000) goud, li bay yon twazyèm mil (1.000) goud. Konsa li bay yo chak dapre sa l' konnen yo ka fè. Lèfini, li pati.
to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his respective ability, and immediately set out.
16 Lamenm, domestik ki te resevwa senkmil (5.000) goud la al fè lajan an travay. Li rapòte l' senkmil (5.000) goud benefis.
Then he who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five others.
17 Konsa tou, domestik ki te resevwa demil (2.000) goud la fè demil (2.000) goud benefis.
Likewise he who had received two, gained other two.
18 Sa ki te resevwa mil (1.000) goud la menm ale, li fouye yon twou nan tè, li sere lajan mèt la.
Whereas he who had received but one, digged a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 Lontan apre sa, mèt domestik yo tounen, li pran fè regleman ak yo.
After a long time, their master returned and reckoned with them.
20 Domestik ki te resevwa senkmil goud la pwoche, li pote senkmil goud benefis la ba li, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen senkmil goud. Men senkmil goud benefis mwen fè.
Then he who had received the five talents, came and presented five other talents, saying, Sir, you delivered to me five talents; here they are, and five other talents which I have gained.
21 Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè toujou. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
22 Domestik ki te resevwa demil goud la pwoche apre sa, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen demil goud, men demil goud benefis mwen fè.
He, also, who had received the two talents, advancing said, Sir, you delivered to me two talents: here they are, and two other talents which I have gained.
23 Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè ankò. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
24 Apre sa, domestik ki te resevwa sèlman mil goud la pwoche, li di: Mèt, mwen konnen ou se yon nonm ki di. Ou rekolte kote ou pa t' simen, ou ranmase kote ou pa t' plante.
Then came he also who had received the talent, and said, Sir, I know that you are a severe man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered;
25 Mwen te pè, se sak fè mwen te al sere mil goud ou a anba tè. Men, pran lajan ou.
being therefore afraid, I hid your talent under ground; but now I restore you your own.
26 Mèt la reponn li: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik, ou parese konsa! Ou te konnen mwen rekolte kote mwen pa t' simen, mwen ranmase kote mwen pa t' plante.
His master answering, said to him, Malignant and slothful servant, did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered?
27 Enben, se pou ou te mete lajan m' labank. Lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete manman lajan an ak yon enterè sou li.
Should you not then have given my money to the bankers, that, at my return, I might have received it with interest?
28 Wete mil goud la nan men l', pran l' bay sa ki gen dimil (10.000) goud la.
Take from him, therefore, the talent, and give it to him who has ten:
29 Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; konsa la gen depase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
for to every one that has, more shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
30 Kanta domestik ki pa vo anyen an, jete l' deyò nan fènwa a. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.
And thrust out this unprofitable servant into darkness, where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini nan tout bèl pouvwa li ak tout zanj li yo, la chita sou fotèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li.
Now when the Son of Man shall come in his glory, accompanied by all the angels, and shall be seated on his glorious throne;
32 Tout nasyon ki sou latè va sanble devan li. Lè sa a, la separe yo fè de gwoup, menm jan moun k'ap gade mouton mete mouton yon bò, kabrit yon bò.
then shall all the nations be assembled before him; and out of them he will separate the good from the bad, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 La mete mouton yo sou bò dwat li, kabrit yo sou bò gòch li.
The sheep he will set at his right hand, and the goats at his left.
34 Apre sa, wa a va pale ak sa ki sou bò dwat li yo, la di: Vini non, nou menm ki resevwa benediksyon Papa m', vin pran posesyon peyi ki te pare pou nou depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye lemonn lan.
Then will the King say to those at his right hand: Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 Mwen te grangou, nou ban m' manje; mwen te swaf dlo, nou ban m' bwè. Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou te resevwa m' lakay nou.
for I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you lodged me; I was a stranger, and you lodged me;
36 Mwen te toutouni, nou te ban m' rad. Mwen te malad, nou pran swen m'; mwen te nan prizon, nou vin wè mwen.
I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you assisted me; I was in prison, and you visited me.
37 Lè sa a, moun ki te fè byen yo va reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou pou n' te ba ou manje? Kilè nou te wè ou swaf dlo pou nou te ba ou bwè?
Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and feed thee; or thirsty, and give thee drink?
38 Kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, pou nou te resevwa ou lakay nou? Osinon toutouni, pou n' te ba ou rad?
When did we see thee a stranger, and lodged thee; or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Kilè nou te wè ou malad, osinon nan prizon, pou n' te al wè ou?
When did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?
40 Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou te fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti pami frè m' yo, se pou mwen nou te fè li.
The King will reply to them, Indeed, I say to you, that inasmuch as you have done this to any the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me.
41 Apre sa, la pale avèk sa ki sou bò gòch li yo, la di: Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm ki gen madichon! Al nan dife ki p'ap janm mouri an, dife ki te pare pou dyab la ak zanj li yo. (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say to those at his left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
42 Mwen te grangou, nou pa t' ban m' manje, mwen te swaf dlo, nou pa t' ban m' bwè.
for I was hungry, but you gave me no food; thirsty, but you gave me no drink;
43 Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou pa t' resevwa m' lakay nou. Mwen te toutouni, nou pa t' ban m' anyen pou mwen te mete sou mwen. Mwen te malad, mwen te nan prizon, nou pa t' vin wè mwen.
I was a stranger, but you did not lodge me; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, but you did not visit me.
44 Lè sa a, y'a reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou, osinon swaf dlo, kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, osinon toutouni, kilè nou te wè ou malad osinon nan prizon, jouk pou nou pa t' ba ou lasistans?
Then they also will answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not assist thee?
45 Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou pa t' fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti sa yo, se pou mwen nou pa t' fè li.
Then he will reply to them, saying, Indeed, I say to you, that inasmuch as you did it not to any the least of these, you did it not to me.
