Matayo 25
1 “Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaananyizibwa n’abawala embeerera ekkumi, abaatwala ettaala zaabwe ne bagenda okusisinkana anaawasa omugole.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 Abataano tebaalina magezi, abataano abalala ne baba b’amagezi.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 Abataalina magezi, ne batatwala mafuta gamala mu ttaala zaabwe.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 Naye abagezi baatwala amafuta mu macupa gaabwe ag’okweyambisa wamu n’ettaala zaabwe.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Naye anaawasa omugole bwe yalwawo okutuuka otulo ne tubakwata bonna, ne beebaka.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “Obudde bwe bwatuuka mu ttumbi oluyoogaano ne lubazuukusa, abantu nga baleekaana nti, ‘Awasa omugole atuuse! Mujje mumwanirize!’
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 “Abawala embeerera bonna ne bazuukuka ne baseesa ettaala zaabwe.
Then all those virgins arose, 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 wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 “Naye bannaabwe ne babaddamu nti, ‘Amafuta ge tulinawo gatumala bumazi. Mugende mu maduuka mwegulireyo.’
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, 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 were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Oluvannyuma abawala bali abataano ne bakomawo ne bayita nti, ‘Ssebo, tuggulirewo!’
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Naye n’abaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, sibamanyi!’
But he answered and said, Verily I say to you, I know you not.
13 “Kale mutunule mweteeketeeke, kubanga temumanyi kiseera wadde olunaku.”
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh.
14 “Obwakabaka bwa Katonda, ate bufaananyizibwa n’olugero lw’omusajja eyali agenda olugendo, n’ayita abaddu be n’abalekera ebintu bye.
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
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, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey.
16 Omusajja eyafuna ttalanta ettaano n’azisuubuzisa n’afunamu ttalanta ttaano endala.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
17 N’oyo eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’aviisaamu endala biri.
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 Naye eyaweebwa ttalanta emu, bwe yagifuna n’agenda n’aziika ttalanta ya mukama we mu ttaka.
But he that had received one went and 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.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth 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 that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
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.’
His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 “Eyalekerwa ttalanta ebiri naye n’ajja, n’ategeeza mukama we nti, ‘Ssebo, wandekera ttalanta bbiri, era ne nziviisaamu ttalanta endala bbiri.’
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have 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; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy 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.
Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not scattered seed:
25 Olw’okutya bwe wagenda ne nkweka ttalanta yo mu ttaka era yiino ttalanta yo.’
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast what is thine.
26 “Naye mukama we n’amugamba nti, ‘Ggwe omuddu omubi era omugayaavu! Obanga wamanya nti ndi muntu akungulira gye ssaasigira,
His lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:
27 wanditadde ensimbi zange mu bbanka gye bandimpaddemu amagoba nga nkomyewo.’
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
28 “N’alagira nti, ‘Mumuggyeeko ettalanta eyo mugiwe oli alina ttalanta ekkumi.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath ten talents.
29 Kubanga alina aliweebwa abe na bingi naye atalina, n’ebyo by’alina ebitono birimuggyibwako.
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 N’omuddu oyo ataliiko ky’agasa mumusuule ebweru mu kizikiza eri okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.’
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 “Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alijja mu kitiibwa kye ne bamalayika bonna nga bali naye, alituula ku ntebe ey’ekitiibwa kye.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 Awo amawanga gonna galikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu maaso ge era aligaawulamu ng’omusumba bw’ayawulamu endiga n’embuzi.
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 Endiga aliziteeka ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’embuzi ku gwa kkono.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but 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 shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom 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 was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 nnali bwereere ne munnyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne munnambula, nnali mu kkomera ne mujja okundaba.’
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye 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 shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Oba ng’oli mugenyi ne tukwaniriza? Oba ng’oli bwereere, ne tukwambaza?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Twakulaba ddi ng’oli mulwadde oba ng’oli mu kkomera ne tukulambula?’
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 “Kabaka, alibaddamu nti, ‘Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bwe mwabikolera baganda bange bano abasembayo wansi kye kimu mwabikolera nze!’
And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done 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 shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 Kubanga nnali muyala ne mutampa kyakulya, nnali muyonta ne mutampa kyakunywa,
For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 nnali mugenyi ne mutannyaniriza, nnali bwereere ne mutannyambaza, nnali mulwadde ne mu kkomera ne mutajja kunnambula.’
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
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 shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 “Naye alibaddamu nti, ‘ddala ddala mbagamba nti, nga bwe mutaakikola omu ku bano abasembayo wansi, nange temwakinkola.’
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
