Matayo 25
1 Uu utemi wakilunde ukipyanigwa neawali nikuminaahole intala yao ekalongola kumupokela ubwana nuawinga.
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 Antaano ao ae apungu nawa neangiza ataano aeaelewa.
Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
3 Eanawali neapungu ekahola intala yao, shanga ekahola emakuta.
The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
4 Hange aenawali awa neaelewa ekahola iseme yao nemakuta palungwi ni ntala yao.
while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
5 Imatungo yayo Ubwana nuawinga naushelewe kupika, ehi akahung'wa tolo ekalala.
As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
6 Lakini utiku wakatekate akakakuta ngwano,''Goza, ubwana nuawinga! Pumi kunzi mumusingeelye.
But at midnight a shout was raised – ‘The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7 Uu neenso enawali ehi akauka ekakakelya intala yao.
Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
8 Awa neapunga ekaaela awa neelewa, 'Mukongelye esehemu amakuta anyu kunsoko intala yitu yukulima.'
and the foolish said to the prudent ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 Lakini awa neaelewa ekaasukilya ekaaela, 'Kunsoko shanga akutosilye unyenye nusese, kuite longoli kwa awaneegulya miguelye ekeasi kanyu nekemutosilye.
But the prudent ones answered ‘No, There may not be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy for yourselves.’
10 Imatungo naalongoe neanso kugula, Ubwana wawinga wekapika, ne matungo naakole tayali aeendile nang'wenso kushelehe awinga, numulango wikalugailwa.
But while they were on their way to buy it, the groom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.
11 Baadae enawali neangiza naapikile ekalunga, ''Bwana, bwana, kulungwile.''
Afterward the other bridesmaids came. ‘Sir, Sir,’ they said, ‘open the door to us!’
12 Lakini akaasukelya nukulunga,'Etai kumuela, shanga numumanyile.
But the groom answered ‘I tell you, I do not know you.’
13 Kuite gozi, kunsoko shangamuihe ematungo luhiku ang'wi saa.
Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Kuite sawa numuntu nautakile kusafili kulongola ihe ngeza aeutangile eatugwa akwe nukuapa ugole wakwe.
“For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
15 Ung'wiao wekamupa talanta itaano, uyu numungiza wekamupa ibeele, nuyuite wekamupa eng'wi. Kela ung'wiao aupokee kiasi kulengana nuuwezo wakwe, numuntu nuanso weka safili kulongola yakwe.
He gave five bags of gold to one, two to another, and one bag to a third, in proportion to the ability of each. Then he set out on his travels.
16 Mapema uyu naupokee entalanta niitano wikalogola wekaelya, nukutugisa talanta itaano hange.
The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
17 Uu uu nuyu naeupokee italanta nibeele, aeutugizilye ni nzuya ibeele.
So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
18 Lakini umutugwa naeupokee talanta eng'wi, wikalongola yakwe wikahemba ishimu pihe, ite wikamepiha empia ang'wa bwana akwe.
But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 Na baada matungo malepu, Ubwana watungwa neanso wekasuka nukuzepelya emaesabu neenso.
After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
20 Umutugwa nuanso nausengeeye italanta niitano auzile wikaleta ningeeza itaano. wikalunga, Bwana, azumpee talanta iitano. Goza napata efaeda atalanta ngiza itaano.
The servant who had received the five bags of gold came up and brought five bags more. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold; look, I have made another five bags!’
21 Ubwana akwe wikamuila,'' Hongera, mutugwa numuza nuuhueli! Umuhueli kuintu niino. Kuupa emadalaka migulya kuintu niidu. Ingele muiloelyi wang'wa Bwana ako.
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
22 Umutugwa nausengeye italanta niibeele wekeza nukulunga, Bwana, aumpee talanta ibeele. Goza napata faeda atalanta geza ibeele.
Then the one who had received the two bags of gold came up and said ‘Sir, you entrusted me with two bags pounds; look, I have made another two!’
23 Ubwana akwe wekamuela,''Hongeeli mutugwa numuza nuuhueli kumaintu nemakehu. Kuupa emadalaka migulya kumaintu needu. Ingile wiloelye mung'wa Bwana ako.''
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
24 Baadae umutugwa naupokee etalanta neng'we aewezie wekalunga,''Bwana, nengile kina uewe umuntu mutaki wevuna pang'wanso neshanga uhusekile.
The man who had received the single bag of gold came up, too, and said ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;
25 Unene nekogopa, nekenda yane nekapiha etalanta akopihe. Goza, ukete hapa nekako.''
and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!’
26 Lakini ubwana wikamusukilya wekalunga. 'Uewe umutugwa mubee, aulengile kina nekala pang'wanso neshanga ntemee nukuvuna pang'wanso neshanganihusekile.
‘You lazy, worthless servant!’ was his master’s reply. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather up where I have not winnowed?
27 Kuite aeizepie kuapa empia ane entu abenki, nematungo naensukile kung'wane aezemesengelya nane palung'wi nefaeda.
Then you ought to have placed my money in the hands of bankers, and I, on my return, should have received my money, with interest.
28 Apa muhegelyi etalanta nanso mumupe utugwa nukete talanta nikumi.
Therefore,’ he continued, ‘take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
29 Kila umuntu nukete nekakwe, okongeligwa ikulu ata ukuzidisheligwa. Lakini kwa uyu nemugila ekentu, ga nekenukete ukuhegeligwa.
For, to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but, as for him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 Mugumi kunzi kukiti umutugwa nuanso neshanga ufaile hange ikutula kelelo nukukelya emino!
As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
31 Ematungo ung'wa Adamu nuekeza nuutukufu wakwe, naealaeka ehi palung'wi nung'wenso, Uu ukikie migulya ituntu lakwe nuutukufu.
“When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory;
32 Indugu yehi ikilingeela ntongeela akwe, nung'wenso ukuabagala eantu. Anga umudemi nuebagula inkolo nimbuli.
and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
33 Ukuieka inkolo mukono wakwe nuwakigoha, ite ukiekaimbuli mokono wankege.
placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Ite umufalme ukuaela awa nea mukono wakegoha, Nzii, nemukembetilwe nu Tata anyi, usali ufalme nauandalewe kunsoko anyu kupuma ukuekwa emesingi au nkumbigulu.
Then the king will say to those on his right ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter into possession of the kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.
35 Hange aenkete nzala mekampa indya; Ae nemugeni mukankalibisha.
For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes;
36 Ae nkole kepwe, mekantugala eang'wenda; Ae numulwae mekantunza; Ae nkole muketungo mukangoza!
when I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.’
37 Uu awa neatai akumusukelya nukumuela, Bwana, Nale aekukuine ukete nzala kekakulesa? Ang'wi ukete nyota kekakupe maze? Hange nale nae kukuine umugeni kekaku kalibisha? Ag'wi ukete nyota kekakupa emaze?
Then the righteous will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 Ang'wi nale naekukuine umugeni nakekakukalibesha? Hange umugila anga lang, wenda kekakutugala eang'wenda?
When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
39 Ang'wi nale naeumulwae, ang'wi ukole muketungo kekeza kuugoza?
When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?’
40 Na umufalme ukuasukelya, etai kumuela, naemutendile apaite kung'wi anyandugu ane neanino, aemuntendee nene!
And the king will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my brothers or sisters, however unimportant they seemed, you did it to me.’
41 Kuite ukuaela awa neakole umukono wakwe nuankege; Hegi kitalane unye nemukete emasatiko, Longoli kumoto nua kulenakale naeuandalewe kunsoko ang'wa shetani neamalaeka akwe; (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say to those on his left ‘Go from my presence, accursed, into the permanent fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Kunsoko aenkete nzala shanga mekakumpa indya; Ae nkete nyota shanga kekakupa emaze;
For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
43 Ae nemugeni shanga mekankalibisha; Ae nkolekepwe shanga mekampa eang'wenda; Ae nemulwae ae ntungilwe kuite shanga mekangoza.
when I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.’
44 Au nawa neanso aku musukelwa nukulunga, Bwana nale naekukuine ukete nzala ang'wi nyota, ang'wi umugeni, ang'wi ukepwe ang'wi umulwae, ang'wiutungilwe, shanga kekakuhudumela?
Then they, in their turn, will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?’
45 Ite ukuasukelya nukulunga,''Etai kumuela, eke neshanga aemuatendee awa neanino, shangaae muntendee anga nene.
And then he will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however unimportant, you failed to do it to me.’
