Matayo 25
1 “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaananyizibwa n’abawala embeerera ekkumi, abaatwala ettaala zaabwe ne bagenda okusisinkana anaawasa omugole.
“Then will the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
2 Abataano tebaalina magezi, abataano abalala ne baba b’amagezi.
and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
3 Abataalina magezi, ne batatwala mafuta gamala mu ttaala zaabwe.
they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
4 Naye abagezi baatwala amafuta mu macupa gaabwe ag’okweyambisa wamu n’ettaala zaabwe.
and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
5 Naye anaawasa omugole bwe yalwawo okutuuka otulo ne tubakwata bonna, ne beebaka.
And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
6 “Obudde bwe bwatuuka mu ttumbi oluyoogaano ne lubazuukusa, abantu nga baleekaana nti, ‘Awasa omugole atuuse! Mujje mumwanirize!’
and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
7 “Abawala embeerera bonna ne bazuukuka ne baseesa ettaala zaabwe.
Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
8 Awo abawala abataano abataalina magezi ne bagamba nti, ‘Mutuwe ku mafuta gammwe, kubanga ettaala zaffe zaagala kuzikira ziggweerera.’
and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
9 “Naye bannaabwe ne babaddamu nti, ‘Amafuta ge tulinawo gatumala bumazi. Mugende mu maduuka mwegulireyo.’
and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.
10 “Naye baali baakagenda anaawasa omugole n’atuuka, abo abaali beeteeseteese ne bayingira ku mbaga, oluggi ne luggalwawo.
And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feasts, and the door was shut;
11 Oluvannyuma abawala bali abataano ne bakomawo ne bayita nti, ‘Ssebo, tuggulirewo!’
and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
12 Naye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, sibamanyi!’
and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
13 “Kale mutunule mweteeketeeke, kubanga temumanyi kiseera wadde olunaku.”
Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
14 “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda, ate bufaananyizibwa n’olugero lw’omusajja eyali agenda olugendo, n’ayita abaddu be n’abalekera ebintu bye.
For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
15 Eyasooka yamuwa ttalanta ttaano, owookubiri bbiri n’owookusatu emu, ng’ageraageranya ng’okusobola kwa buli omu bwe kwali. Bw’atyo ne yeetambulira.
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 Omusajja eyafuna ttalanta ettaano n’azisuubuzisa n’afunamu ttalanta ttaano endala.
And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
17 N’oyo eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’aviisaamu endala biri.
in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
18 Naye eyaweebwa ttalanta emu, bwe yagifuna n’agenda n’aziika ttalanta ya mukama we mu ttaka.
and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 “Awo nga wayiseewo ekiseera kiwanvu, mukama w’abaddu abo n’akomawo. N’ayita abaddu be bamutegeeze ebyafa ku ttalanta ze yabalekera.
And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
20 Omusajja gwe yalekera ttalanta ettaano n’ajja n’amuleetera ttalanta endala ttaano ng’agamba nti, ‘Mukama wange wampa ttalanta ttaano, nviisizaamu ttalanta endala ttaano.’
and he who received the five talents, having come, brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me; behold, I gained five other talents besides them.
21 “Mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa, obadde mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono, ndikusigira ebintu ebingi. Yingira sanyukira wamu ne mukama wo.’
And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
22 “Eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’ajja, n’ategeeza mukama we nti, ‘Ssebo, wandekera ttalanta bbiri, era ne nziviisaamu ttalanta endala bbiri.’
And he also, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I gained two other talents besides them.
23 “Mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa, obadde mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono, ndikusigira ebintu ebingi. Yingira osanyukire wamu ne mukama wo.’
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
24 “Omusajja eyalekerwa ttalanta emu n’ajja, n’agamba nti, ‘Ssebo, nakumanya nga bw’oli omuntu omuzibu, okungulira gy’otaasigira era okuŋŋaanyiza gy’otaasaasaanyiza.
And he also who has received the one talent, having come, said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter;
25 Olw’okutya bwe wagenda ne nkweka ttalanta yo mu ttaka era yiino ttalanta yo.’
and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
26 “Naye mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Ggwe omuddu omubi era omugayaavu! Obanga wamanya nti ndi muntu akungulira gye ssaasigira,
And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
27 wanditadde ensimbi zange mu bbanka gye bandimpaddemu amagoba nga nkomyewo.’
It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
28 “N’alagira nti, ‘Mumuggyeeko ettalanta eyo mugiwe oli alina ttalanta ekkumi.
Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
29 Kubanga alina aliweebwa abe na bingi naye atalina, n’ebyo by’alina ebitono birimuggyibwako.
for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;
30 N’omuddu oyo ataliiko ky’agasa mumusuule ebweru mu kizikiza eri okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.’
and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 “Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne bamalayika bonna nga bali naye, alituula ku ntebe ey’ekitiibwa kye.
And whenever the Son of Man may come in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then He will sit on a throne of His glory;
32 Awo amawanga gonna galikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu maaso ge era aligaawulamu ng’omusumba bw’ayawulamu endiga n’embuzi.
and all the nations will be gathered together before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 Endiga aliziteeka ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’embuzi ku gwa kkono.
and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
34 “Awo Kabaka n’alyoka agamba abali ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo nti, ‘Mujje mmwe Kitange be yawa omukisa, musikire obwakabaka obwabateekerwateekerwa okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi.
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Kubanga nnali muyala ne mundiisa, nnali muyonta ne mumpa ekyokunywa, nnali mugenyi ne munnyaniriza,
for I hungered, and you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
36 nnali bwereere ne munnyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne munnambula, nnali mu kkomera ne mujja okundaba.’
naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
37 “Abatuukirivu ne bamubuuza nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala ne tukuliisa? Oba ng’olina ennyonta ne tukuwa ekyokunywa?
Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
38 Oba ng’oli mugenyi ne tukwaniriza? Oba ng’oli bwereere, ne tukwambaza?
And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
39 Twakulaba ddi ng’oli mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera ne tukulambula?’
And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
40 “Kabaka, alibaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mwabikolera baganda bange bano abasembayo wansi kye kimu mwabikolera nze!’
And the King answering, will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of these My brothers—the least—you did [it] to Me.
41 “Bw’atyo aligamba abo abali ku mukono gwe ogwa kkono nti, ‘Muveewo, mmwe abakolimire, mulage mu muliro ogutazikira ogwateekerwateekerwa Setaani ne bamalayika be. (aiōnios g166)
Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Go from Me, the cursed, into the continuous fire that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
42 Kubanga nnali muyala ne mutampa kyakulya, nnali muyonta ne mutampa kyakunywa,
for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 nnali mugenyi ne mutannyaniriza, nnali bwereere ne mutannyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne mu kkomera ne mutajja kunnambula.’
I was a stranger, and you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after Me.
44 “Nabo baliddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe, twakulaba ddi ng’oli muyala oba ng’oli muyonta, oba ng’oli mugenyi oba ng’oli bwereere oba mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera, ne tutakuyamba?’
Then they will answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?
45 “Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘ddala ddala mbagamba nti, nga bwe mutaakikola omu ku bano abasembayo wansi, nange temwakinkola.’
Then will He answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] not to one of these, the least, you did [it] not to Me.
