Matiu 25
1 Na ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga wahine kotahi tekau, i mau i a ratou rama, a haere ana ki te whakatau i te tana marena hou;
Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,
2 Tokorima o ratou he maharakore, tokorima he mahara.
and five were foolish.
3 Ko nga mea maharakore i mau i a ratou rama, kihai ia i mau hinu:
The foolish ones took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 Ko te hunga mahara i mau hinu atu i roto i a ratou ipu me a ratou rama.
but the wise took oil in their vessels as well as in their lamps.
5 Ka whakaroa te tane marena hou, ka tunewha ratou katoa, ka moe.
Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:
6 Na, i waenganui po, ka pa te karanga, E, ko te tane marena hou! Puta mai koutou ki te whakatau i a ia.
and in the middle of the night there was a cry, The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.
7 Katahi ka ara katoa aua wahine, ka whakapai i a ratou rama.
Then all the virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps:
8 Na ka mea te hunga maharakore ki te hunga mahara, Homai ki a matou tetahi wahi o ta koutou hinu: ka pirau hoki a matou rama.
and the foolish ones said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out:
9 Na ka whakahoki te hunga mahara, ka mea, Kahore; kei kore e ranea ma matou, ma koutou: engari me haere koutou ki nga kaihoko, hoko ai i tetahi ma koutou.
but the wise answered them, saying, Least there should not be enough for us and you, go rather to them that sell it, and buy for yourselves.
10 A, no to ratou haerenga atu ki te hoko, ka tae mai te tane marena hou: a tomo tahi ana me ia ki te marena te hunga kua ata rite: a tutakina ana te tatau.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.
11 Muri iho ka tae era wahine, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Ariki, uakina ki a matou.
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us:
12 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau e mohio ki a koutou.
but he answered them, Verily I declare unto you, I do not know you.
13 Kia mataara rapea koutou, e kore hoki koutou e mohio ki te ra, ki te haora, e puta mai ai te Tama a te tangata.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day, nor the season in which the Son of man cometh.
14 Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, karangatia ana e ia ana pononga ake, a hoatu ana ki a ratou ana taonga.
For as a man, who was going to travel abroad, called his servants, and delivered to them his stock: and to one he gave five talents,
15 Ki tetahi i hoatu e ia e rima taranata, ki tetahi e rua, ki tetahi kotahi; ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki to ratou uaua; a haere ana ia.
to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability: and then he took his journey.
16 Na ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, hokohokona ana aua mea e ia, a riro ana i a ia e rima atu nga taranata.
Now he that had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained other five talents:
17 Pera ano hoki te tangata i nga mea e rua; e rua atu i riro i a ia.
and likewise he that had the two, he also gained two more:
18 Ko te tangata ia i te mea kotahi, haere ana, kei te keri ki te whenua, a huna ana e ia te moni a tona ariki.
but he who had received the one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his master's money:
19 A, roa rawa iho, ka puta te ariki o aua pononga, ka mea kia korerotia ana moni e ratou ki a ia.
and after some time the lord of those servants cometh and settleth his account with them.
20 A, ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, ka mauria mai e ia e rima atu nga taranata, a ka mea, E te ariki, e rima au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na, e rima atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
And he who had received the five talents came and brought to him five talents more, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents, behold I have gained other five talents to them:
21 Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
and his lord said to him, Well done, my good and trusty servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into thy master's joy.
22 Me tera hoki i a ia nei nga taranata e rua, ka haere mai, ka mea, E te ariki, e rua au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na e rua atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
And he also who had received the two talents came to him and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents with them:
23 Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tonu tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into the joy of thy lord.
24 A, ko te haerenga mai hoki o te tangata i a ia nei te taranata kotahi, ka mea, E te ariki, i matau ahau ki a koe he tangata pakeke koe, e kokoti ana i te wahi kihai i ruia e koe, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e koe:
And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;
25 Na ka wehi ahau, a haere ana, huna ana i tau taranata ki te whenua: na, tau na.
and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the ground; behold, there is thine own:
26 Na ka whakahoki tona ariki, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, pononga mangere, i matau koe e kokoti ana ahau i te wahi kihai i ruia e ahau, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e ahau:
but his lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed;
27 Ko te mea tika hoki kia kawea e koe taku moni ki nga rangatira peeke moni, a ka tae mai ahau, ka riro mai taku me ona hua ano.
thou oughtest then to have put my money to the bankers, and when I came I should have received my own with interest.
28 Ko tenei, tangohia te taranata i a ia, hoatu ki tera i nga taranata kotahi tekau.
Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath the ten talents;
29 Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia, a ka maha atu ana: a, ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko ana mea ake ka tangohia i a ia.
(for to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken away: )
30 Na maka te pononga huakore ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
and cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Na, hei te taenga mai o te Tama a te tangata me tona kororia, ratou tahi ko nga anahera, ko reira ia noho ai ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia:
So when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon his glorious throne:
32 A ka whakaminea ki tona aroaro nga iwi katoa: ka wehea ratou e ia etahi i etahi, ka peratia me te hepara e wehe nei i nga hipi, i nga koati:
and all nations shall be assembled before Him; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats:
33 Ka whakaturia e ia nga hipi ki tona matau, ko nga koati ki maui.
and He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 Katahi te Kingi ka mea ki te hunga i tona matau, Haere mai, e te hunga whakapai a toku Matua, nohoia te rangatiratanga kua rite noa ake mo koutou no te orokohanganga ra ano o te ao:
Then will 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 I hiakai hoki ahau, a whangainga ana e koutou: i matewai ahau, a whakainumia ana e koutou: he manene ahau, a whakamanuhiritia ana e koutou:
for I was famishing, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 I tu tahanga, a whakakakahuria ana e koutou: he turoro, a tirotirohia ana ahau e koutou: i te whare herehere ahau, a haere mai ana koutou ki ahau.
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye took care of me; I was in prison, and ye visited me.
37 Na ka whakahoki te hunga tika ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, a whangai ana i a koe? e mate ana ranei i te wai, e whakainu ana i a koe?
Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Nohea matou i kite ai i a koe e manene ana, a whakamanuhiri ana i a koe? e tu tahanga ana ranei, a whakakakahu ana i a koe?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?
39 Nonahea hoki matou i kite ai i a koe e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a haere ana ki a koe?
or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?
40 Ko reira whakahoki ai te Kingi, mea ai ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta koutou i mea ai ki tetahi o aku teina, ahakoa ki te iti rawa, he meatanga tena ki ahau.
And the king replying will say unto them, Verily I declare unto you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the lest of these my brethren, ye did it to me.
41 Ko reira ia ki atu ai ki te hunga i te taha ki maui, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga ka oti nei te kanga, ki te ahi ka tonu, kua ka noa ake mo te rewera ratou ko ana anahera: (aiōnios g166)
Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 I hiakai hoki ahau, a kihai i whangainga e koutou: i mate i te wai, a kihai i whakainumia e koutou:
for I was famishing, and ye gave me nothing to eat; I was a-thirst, and ye gave me no drink;
43 He manene ahau, a kihai i whakamanuhiritia e koutou: i tu tahanga, a kihai i whakakakahuria e koutou: he turoro ahau, i te whare herehere, a kihai koutou i tirotiro i ahau.
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me.
44 Ko reira ano ratou whakahoki ai ki a ia, mea ai, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, e mate wai ana, e manene ana, e tu tahanga ana, e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a kihai i mahi mea mau?
Then will they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve thee?
45 Ko reira whakahoki ai ia ki a ratou, mea ai, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, I te mea kihai nei i meatia e koutou ki tetahi o nga nonohi rawa nei, ina, kihai i meatia ki ahau.
Then will He reply to them, saying, Verily I tell you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the lest of these, ye did it not to me.
