Mateo 25
1 Ket maiyarigto ti pagarian ti langit iti sangapulo a birhen a nangala kadagiti pagsilawanda ken napan nangsabat iti nobio.
[Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
2 Lima kadakuada ti maag ken lima met ti masirib.
Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
3 Ta idi innala dagiti maag a birhen dagiti pagsilawanda, saanda a nangitugot iti lana.
The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
4 Ngem nangitugot dagiti masirib iti pagikkan nga adda lanana ken dagiti pagsilawanda.
But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
5 Ita, kabayatan nga awan pay ti nobio, nagtuglepda amin ket nakaturogda.
The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
6 Ngem adda nagpukkaw iti katengngaan ti rabii, 'Adtoyen ti nobio! Rummuarkayo ket sabatenyo isuna.'
In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
7 Ket bimmangon amin dagiti birhen ket tinarimaanda dagiti pagsilawanda.
So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
8 Kinuna dagiti maag kadagiti masirib, 'Ikkandakami iti bassit a lanayo gapu ta maiddepen dagiti pagsilawanmi.'
The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
9 Ngem simmungbat dagiti masirib a kunada, 'Agsipud ta saan nga umanay daytoy para kadatayo, mapankayo ketdi kadagiti aglaklako ket gumatangkayo iti usarenyo.'
The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
10 Idi pimmanawda tapno gumatang, immay ti nobio, ket kimmuyog dagidiay nakasaganan kenkuana iti padaya ti kasaran, ket naiserran ti ridaw.
But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
11 Kalpasanna, immay met dagiti sabali a birhen ket kinunada, 'Apo, apo ilukatandakami.'
Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
12 Ngem simmungbat isuna ket kinunana, 'Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, saankayo nga am-ammo.'
But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
13 Agridamkayo ngarud, ta saanyo nga ammo ti aldaw wenno ti oras.
[Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
14 Ta maiyarig daytoy iti pasamak no dandanin a mapan ti maysa a tao iti sabali a pagilian. Ayabanna dagiti adipenna ket italekna kadakuada ti kinabaknangna.
“[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
15 Ikkanna ti maysa kadakuada iti lima a talento, ikkanna met iti dua ti maysa, ken ikkanna met iti maysa a talento ti sabali pay. Nakaawat ngarud ti tunggal maysa iti gatad sigun iti bukodda a kabaelan, ket pimmanaw dayta a tao ket nagdaliasat.
He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
16 Napan a dagus impuonan daydiay nakaawat iti lima a talento ti naawatna, ket nakaganansia iti lima a talento.
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
17 Kasta met a ti nakaawat iti dua a talento ket nakapataud iti dua pay a talento.
Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
18 Ngem ti adipen a nakaawat iti maysa a talento pimmanaw ket napan nangkali iti abut iti daga, ket inlemmengna ti kuarta ti amona.
But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
19 Ita kalpasan ti naunday a panawen, nagsubli ti amo dagidiay nga adipen ket nakikinnuenta kadakuada.
After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
20 Immay ti adipen a nakaawat iti lima a talento ket nangiyeg iti lima pay a talento, kinunana, 'Apo, inikkannak iti lima a talento. Kitaem, nakapataudak iti lima pay a talento.'
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
21 Kinuna ti amona kenkuana, 'Nasayaat ti inaramidmo, naimbag ken mapagtalkan nga adipen! Mapagtalkanka iti bassit a banag. Isaadkanto a mangimaton iti adu a banbanag. Sumrekka a makipagrag-o iti amom.'
His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
22 Immay ti adipen a nakaawat iti dua a talento ket kinunana, 'Apo, inikkannak iti dua a talento. Kitaem, nakapataudak iti dua pay a talento.'
The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
23 Kinuna kenkuana ti amona, 'Nasayaat ti inaramidmo, naimbag ken mapagtalkan nga adipen! Mapagtalkanka iti amin a bassit a banag. Isaadkanto a mangimaton iti adu a banbanag. Sumrekka a makipagrag-o iti amom.'
His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
24 Ket immay ti adipen a nakaawat iti maysa a talento ket kinunana, 'Apo, ammok a nakaroka a tao. Agapitka iti saanmo a nagmulaan, aganika iti saanmo a nagisabbuagan.
Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
25 Nagbutengak, isu a napanko inkali ti talentom iti daga. Kitaem, adda ditoy dagiti kukuam.'
So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
26 Ngem simmungbat ti amona a kunana kenkuana, 'Sika a managdakdakes ken sadut nga adipen, ammom nga agapitak iti saanko a nagmulaan ken aganiak iti saanko a nagisabbuagan.
His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
27 Ngarud, intedmo koma ti kuartak kadagiti agtrabtrabaho iti bangko ket iti iyuumayko maawatko ti kukuak nga adda pay nainayon.
So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
28 Isu nga alaenyo ti talento manipud kenkuana ket itedyo daytoy iti adipen nga addaan iti sangapulo a talento.
[Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
29 ti tunggal maysa nga addaan, adunto ti maited- a nawadwadwad pay. Ngem iti siasinoman nga awan ti uray ania a banag a kukuana, uray ti adda kenkuana ket maalanto pay.
To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
30 Ibellengyo ti awan serserbina nga adipen iti ruar a kasipngetan nga addanto ti panagsasangit ken panagngaretnget dagiti ngipen,'
Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
31 Inton umay ti Anak ti Tao a nadayag ken kaduana amin dagiti anghel, ket agtugawto isuna iti nagloriaan a tronona.
“When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
32 Maummongto amin dagiti nasion iti sangoananna, ket paglinnasinennanto dagiti tattao iti maysa ken maysa, kas iti panangilasin ti maysa nga agpaspastor kadagiti karnero manipud kadagiti kalding.
People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
33 Ikabilnanto dagiti karnero iti makannawan nga imana, ngem dagiti kalding ket iti makannigidna.
I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
34 Ket ibaganto ti Ari kadagidiay adda iti makannawan nga imana, 'Umaykayo, dakayo a nabendisionan babaen iti Amak, tawidenyo ti pagarian a naisagana para kadakayo manipud iti pannakaparsua ti lubong.
Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
35 Ta nabisinanak ket inikkandak iti makan; nawawak ket inikkandak iti mainom; gangannaetak ket pinastrekdak;
[They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
36 Lamolamoak, ket binadoandak; nagsakitak ket inaywanandak; naibaludak ket immaykayo kaniak.'
When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
37 Ket sumungbatto dagiti nalinteg ket kunaenda, 'Apo, kaano a nakitadaka a nabisinan, ket pinakandaka? Wenno nawaw ket innikandaka iti mainum?
Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
38 Ken kaano a nakitadaka a kas ganggannaet, ket pinastrekdaka? Wenno lamolamo ket binadoandaka?
When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
39 Ken kaano a nakitadaka a masakit, wenno iti pagbaludan, ket immaykami kenka?'
When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
40 Ket sumungbatto ti Ari ket kunaen kadakuada, 'Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, aniaman nga aramidenyo para iti maysa kadagiti kakabsatko a nanumo ditoy, inaramidyo para kaniak.'
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
41 Ket ibagananto kadagiti adda iti makannigid nga imana, 'Umadayokayo kaniak, dakayo a nailunod, mapankayo iti agnanayon nga apuy a naisagana para iti diablo ken kadagiti anghelna, (aiōnios g166)
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
42 gapu ta nabisinanak ngem saandak nga inikkan iti makan; Nawawak ngem saandak nga inikkan iti mainum;
[It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
43 Maysaak a ganggannaet ngem saandak a pinastrek; lamolamoak ngem saandak a binadoan; nagsakitak ken naibaludak, ngem saandak nga inkaskaso.'
You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
44 Ket sumungbatdanto a kunada, 'Apo, kaano a nakitadaka a nabisinan, wenno nawaw, wenno maysa a ganggannaet, wenno lamolamo, wenno masakit, wenno naibalud, ket saandaka a pinagserbian?'
They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
45 Ket sumungbatto kadakuada a kunana, 'Pudno, ibagak kadakayo, aniaman a saanyo nga inaramid iti uray maysa kadagitoy a nanumo, saanyo nga inaramid para kaniak.'
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
46 Mapanto dagitoy iti agnanayon a pannakadusa ngem dagiti nalinteg, mapandanto iti agnanayon a biag.” (aiōnios g166)
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
