Matio 25
1 Ary amin’ izany ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia ho tahaka ny virijina folo, izay nitondra ny fanalany ka nivoaka hitsena ny mpampakatra.
The kingdom of heaven is like ten girls, who took their lamps with them to go and meet the bridegroom.
2 Ary ny dimy tamin’ ireo dia adala, fa ny dimy kosa hendry.
Five were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Fa ny adala nandray ny fanalany, nefa tsy nitondra solika fitaiza;
The foolish girls took their lamps but didn't take any oil with them,
4 ary ny hendry kosa nitondra solika tao anatin’ ny fitondrany sy ny fanalany.
while the wise took jars of oil with them as well as their lamps.
5 Ary raha naharitra ela ny mpampakatra, dia samy rendrehana avy izy rehetra, ka dia natory.
The bridegroom took a long time and all the girls became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 Ary nony mamatonalina, dia nisy antso hoe: Indro ny mpampakatra! Mivoaha mba hitsena azy.
At midnight the shout came, ‘Look, the bridegroom's here! Come out and meet him!’
7 Dia nitsangana ireo virijina ireo, ka samy namboatra ny fanalany.
All the girls got up and trimmed the wicks of their lamps. The foolish girls said to the wise ones,
8 Dia hoy ny adala tamin’ ny hendry: Mba omeo kely amin’ ny solikareo izahay; fa efa ho faty ny fanalanay.
‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise girls replied,
9 Fa ny hendry namaly ka nanao hoe: Sao tsy ampy ho anay sy ho anareo, fa mandehana mankany amin’ ny mpivarotra ianareo, ka mividiana ho anareo.
‘No, because otherwise there won't be enough for both you and for us. Go to the shopkeepers and buy some oil for yourselves.’
10 Fa raha mbola lasa nividy izy, dia tonga ny mpampakatra, ary izay efa niomana dia niara-niditra taminy tao amin’ ny fampakaram-bady, ary dia narindrina ny varavarana.
While they went to buy oil, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was locked shut.
11 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia tonga kosa ireo virijina teo ka nanao hoe Tompoko, tompoko, vohay izahay.
The other girls came later. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they called, ‘Open the door for us!’
12 Fa izy namaly hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy fantatro ianareo.
But he answered, ‘I tell you the truth: I don't know you.’
13 Koa amin’ izany miambena ianareo, fa tsy fantatrareo na ny andro na ny ora.
So stay alert, for you don't know the day, or the hour.
14 Fa ny fanjakan’ ny lanitra dia tahaka ny olona izay efa handeha ho any an-tany hafa ka niantso ny mpanompony, dia nanolotra azy ny fananany:
It's like a man who went away on a trip. He called in his servants and entrusted them with what he owned.
15 koa ny anankiray nomeny talenta dimy, ny anankiray roa, ary ny anankiray iray, ― samy araka izay fahaizany avy; dia lasa nandeha izy.
To one of them he gave five talents, to another he gave two, and to another one, according to their different abilities. Then he left.
16 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia lasa ilay nandray ny talenta dimy, ka nataony varotra izany; ary nahazo tombony talenta dimy koa izy.
Immediately the one with five talents went and invested them in a business, and made another five talents.
17 Ary toy izany koa, ilay nandray ny roa dia nahazo roa ho tombony.
In the same way the one with two talents made another two.
18 Fa ilay nandray ny iray kosa dia lasa nihady ny tany ka nandevina ny volan’ ny tompony.
But the man who'd received the one talent went off and dug a hole and hid his master's money.
19 Ary nony ela, dia tonga ny tompon’ ireo mpanompo ireo ka nampilaza azy ny amin’ ny volany.
A long time later the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
20 Ary nony nanatona ilay nandray ny talenta dimy, dia nitondra talenta dimy koa izy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, talenta dimy no natolotrao ahy; indro, nahazo tombony talenta dimy koa aho.
The one with five talents came and presented the other five talents. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘You gave me five talents. Look, I've made a profit of five talents.’
21 Hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky; nahatoky tamin’ ny kely ianao, dia hotendreko ho mpanapaka ny be; midìra amin’ ny fifalian’ ny tomponao.
His master said to him, ‘You've done well—you are a good, faithful servant. You have proved yourself trustworthy over small things, so now I'm placing you in charge over many things. Be happy because I'm really pleased with you!’
22 Ary nony nanatona koa ilay nandray ny talenta roa, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, talenta roa no natolotrao ahy; indro, nahazo tombony talenta roa koa aho.
The one with two talents also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘You gave me two talents. Look, I've made a profit of two talents.’
23 Hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky; nahatoky tamin’ ny kely ianao, dia hotendreko ho mpanapaka ny be; midìra amin’ ny fifalian’ ny tomponao.
His master said to him, ‘You've done well—you are a good, faithful servant. You have proved trustworthy over small things, so now I'm placing you in charge over many things. Be happy because I'm really pleased with you!’
24 Fa nony nanatona kosa ilay nandray ny talenta iray, dia nilaza hoe: Tompoko, fantatro fa olona mila voatsiary ianao, mijinja eny amin’ izay tsy namafazanao, ary manangona eny amin’ izay tsy nanahafanao;
Then the man with one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I know that you're a hard man. You reap where you didn't sow, and you harvest crops that you didn't plant.
25 dia natahotra aho ka lasa nandevina ny talentanao tao anatin’ ny tany; indry, lasanao ny anao.
So since I was afraid of you I went and buried your talent in the ground. Look, you can have back what belongs to you.’
26 Ary ny tompony namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry mpanompo ratsy sady malaina, efa fantatrao fa mijinja eny amin’ izay tsy namafazako aho, ary manangona eny amin’ izay tsy nanahafako;
But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you think I reap where I don't sow, and harvest crops I didn't plant,
27 koa tokony ho nampanàna ny volako tamin’ ny mpanana vola ianao, ka raha tonga aho, dia ho nandray ny ahy mban-janany.
then you should have deposited my silver in the bank so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest.
28 Koa alao aminy ny talenta, dia omeo ilay manana ny talenta folo.
Take the talent away from him, and give it to the one with ten talents.
29 Fa izay rehetra manana dia homena, ka hanam-be izy; fa izay tsy manana kosa, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.
For everyone who has will be given even more; and everyone who doesn't have anything, even what they have will be taken away from them.
30 Ary ario ho any amin’ ny maizina any ivelany ny mpanompo tsy mahasoa; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.
Now throw this useless servant out into the darkness where there'll be crying and gnashing of teeth.’
31 Ary raha tonga ny Zanak’ olona amin’ ny voninahiny, arahin’ ny anjely rehetra, dia hipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny voninahiny Izy;
But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his majestic throne.
32 ary ny firenena rehetra hangonina eo anatrehany, dia hanavaka azy, tahaka ny mpiandry ondry manavaka ny ondry amin’ ny osy;
Everyone will be brought before him. He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 ary hametraka ny ondry eo amin’ ny ankavanany Izy, fa ny osy eo amin’ ny ankaviany.
He'll place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Ary amin’ izany ny Mpanjaka dia hilaza amin’ izay eo amin’ ny ankavanany hoe: Avia ianareo izay notahin’ ny Raiko, mandovà ny fanjakana izay voavoatra ho anareo hatrizay nanorenana izao tontolo izao;
Then the king will say to the ones on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, and inherit the kingdom that's been prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
35 fa noana Aho, dia nomenareo hanina; nangetaheta Aho dia nampisotroinareo; nivahiny Aho, dia nampiantranoinareo;
For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in.
36 tsy nanan-kitafy Aho, dia notafianareo; narary Aho, dia notsaboinareo; tao an-tranomaizina Aho, dia novangianareo.
I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’
37 Ary dia hamaly Azy ny marina ka hanao hoe: Tompoko, oviana no hitanay noana Hianao ka nomenay hanina, na nangetaheta ka nampisotroinay?
Then those who are right will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you a drink?
38 Ary oviana no hitanay nivahiny Hianao ka nampiantranoinay, na tsy nanan-kitafy ka notafianay?
When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?
39 Ary oviana no hitanay narary Hianao, na tao an-tranomaizina, ka novangianay?
When did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit you?’
40 Dia hamaly ny Mpanjaka ka hanao aminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Araka izay efa nataonareo tamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto rahalahiko kely indrindra ireto no nataonareo tamiko.
The king will tell them, ‘I tell you the truth: whatever you did for one of these of least importance you did for me.’
41 Ary dia hilaza indray amin’ izay eo amin’ ny ankaviany kosa Izy hoe: Mialà amiko, ianareo izay voaozona, ho any amin’ ny afo maharitra mandrakizay, izay voavoatra ho an’ ny devoly sy ny anjeliny; (aiōnios g166)
He'll also say to those on his left, ‘Go away from me, you who are doomed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
42 fa noana Aho, fa tsy mba nomenareo hanina; nangetaheta Aho, fa tsy mba nampisotroinareo;
For I was hungry and you didn't give me anything to eat. I was thirsty and you didn't give me a drink.
43 nivahiny Aho, fa tsy mba nampiantranoinareo; tsy nanan-kitafy Aho, fa tsy mba notafianareo; narary sy tao an-tranomaizina Aho, fa tsy mba novangianareo.
I was a stranger and you didn't invite me in. I was naked and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you didn't visit me.’
44 Ary dia hamaly kosa ireo hoe: Tompoko, oviana no hitanay noana Hianao, na nangetaheta, na nivahiny, na tsy nanan-kitafy, na narary, na tao an-tranomaizina, ka tsy mba nanompo Anao izahay?
Then they will also answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't look after you?’
45 Fa hamaly azy Izy ka hanao hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Araka izay tsy nataonareo tamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto kely indrindra ireto no tsy mba nataonareo tamiko.
Then he will tell them, ‘I tell you the truth: whatever you didn't do for one of these of least importance you didn't do for me.’
