Mathiu 25
1 “Erah tokdoh Rangte Hasong ah arah likhiik ang ah. Ehak di saasiit jaalah nuh asih ih neng weetook ah piirum ano kuhoonte wah jiinni chomui karumta.
[Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
2 Nuh banga ah thungko ang rumta, nuh banga ah maaknuh ang rumta.
Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
3 Thungko loong ah ih weetook ah pi rum ano weejoong hedak tawak pi rumta,
The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
4 maaknuh loong ah ih neng weetook damdi tingkook ni weejoong ah wak pi rumta.
But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
5 Kuhoonte wang ah liin kah no, jaalah loong ah mokjup ih rumta.
The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
6 “Pheethungkham di miloong ah dong cheektiita, ‘Kuhoonte erah joh! Raahan heh damdoh chomui kah ih!’
In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
7 Jaalah nuh asih loong ah saat rum ano neng weetook ah pak et rumta.
So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
8 Eno thungko jaalah loong ah ih maaknuh loong dowa suh rumta, ‘seng suh weejoong ah koweehe, seng weejoong ah thoon luung eta.’
The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
9 Maaknuh jaalah loong ih ngaakbaat rumta, ‘Tajen koke,’ seng thoontang suh tarookliika ang ah, erah raangtaan ih sen ih thaangtaamte jiin nawa reh kah an.’
The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
10 Eno thungko jaalah loong ah thaangtaam theng ni weejoong riik karumta; eno neng kaat lidi kuhoonte wah ah thok taha. Jaalah nuh banga loong ah kuhoonte damdi sadung theng ni roongwang rumta, eno kaaluung ah tangsak et rumta.
But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
11 “Rekamdi thungko jaalah loong ah thokrum taha. ‘Chuupha, Chuupha! ih riingbaat rumta.
Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
12 Eno kuhoonte warah ih ngaakbaatta, ‘Tajen nop ran! Ngah ih sen tajat rumra.’
But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
13 Eno Jisu ih thoonbaat rumta, “Sen teeteewah naririh et ban sok an, tumeah sen ih tajatkan heh rangwuung saapoot rah ah.
[Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
14 “Erah tokdoh rangmong Hasong ah arah likhiik ang ah. Teewadi mih wasiit mihah nah tumkhoom kaat suh ih li ano; heh laksuh loong ah lompoon rumta eno, heh nyamka ah neng suh ban maak thuk suh pheekoh rumta.
“[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
15 Marah laksuh ih tumjaat jen re ah erah jun ih pheekoh rumta: wasiit asuh haajaat banga hun jaanngun kota, wasiit asuh haajaat nyi, erah dam ih wasiit asuh haajaat siit. Eno heh ah hahoh ni kata.
He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
16 Marah haajaat banga ngun chota laksuh rah ih lakdamdam ih pheehoon ni maakkaat ano, haajaat banga boot niik kata.
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
17 Erah likhiik ih marah haajaat nyi chota laksuh ah eh uh pheehoon ni maakkaat ano haajaat nyi boot niik kata.
Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
18 Enoothong haajaat siit chota laksuh rah ih changte wah ngun ah habeng ah thoh ano hotthiin kaatta.
But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
19 “Rekam lidi neng changte wah ah ngaakwang haano heh ngun ah o ih mamet maak rumta ah jat suh lomtong thuk rumta.
After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
20 Haajaat banga chote laksuh rah wang ano heh ih haajaat banga bootpat kowanta. ‘An ih haajaat banga kotahang, Chuupha,’ heh ih liita, ‘Arah sok uh! Haajaat banga ehoh boot niik katang rah ah.’
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
21 Changteewah ih liita, ‘Elang eh uh, ese ih reetu, an ah ese nyia toongtang laksuh! ‘An suh ngun amasah kotaha rah toongtang lam ih maaktu thaang ah, ngah ih ansuh ngun ehan boot maak thuk ha. Raaho, Nga damdoh tenroon ih roong tongho!’
His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
22 “Eno haajaat nyi chota laksuh ah thok haano liita, ‘Chuupha, an ih ngah suh haajaat nyi ngun kotahang, Sok uh! Arah haajaat nyi boot niik katang,’
The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
23 ‘Elang eh uh ese ih reetu, an ah toongtang nyia ese laksuh!’ Changte ih liita. ‘An suh amasah ngun kotaha ah toongtang nyia ese lam ih maaktu thaang ah, ngah ih an suh ehan ngun boot maak thuk ha. Raaho ngah damdoh tenroon ih roong tongho!”
His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
24 “Erah lidi haajaat siit ngun chota laksuh ah thok haano liita, ‘Chuupha, Ngah ih an ah mithih ih ejat ih taha; an ih hephook lakiiko dowa kakhan uh, nyia hejih lawenko dowa kalom hu uh.
Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
25 Erah thoih ngah echo eh ang no, an ngun ah habeng ni hotthiin kaattang. Sokthaak uh! Arah an ngun rah ah.’
So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
26 Heh changte warah ih liita ‘An ethih nyi edem laksuh!’ ‘Ngah ih laki kang dowa kakhan ang rah, nyia hejih lawen kang dowa hu ang rah, an ih jat ih tahang nih?
His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
27 Angta bah uh, an ih nga ngun ah ngunnok nah thiin kaattu bah, nga ngaakwang tokdoh heboot hepat pan ih ngaakchoh thengtang.
So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
28 Amah ih, heh jiin nawa ngun ah nge anno haajaat asih kotang wah asuh bootkoh an.
[Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
29 Tumeah, o mina di amasah jeela asuh ehan ih bootkoh ah, enoothong o di amasah jeela ah thoon nge et ah.
To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
30 Erah likhiik lajak nyia thaangmuh laksuh abah—laamang nah haatkaat an; erah doh heh pha ah phak ano toom huung ah.’
Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
31 “Mina Sah ah Rangsah loong damdoh luungwang ih raaha doh, heh ah luungwang tongtheng adoh tong ah,
“When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
32 eno deek akaan rep nawa miloong ah heh ngathong nah lompoon rum ah. Eno heh ih dung nyi ih phe tongthuk rum ah, saapriimte ih saap loong ah ki dung nawa danje arah likhiik ah.
People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
33 Heh ih kateng loong ah jaawako ih tongthuk ah, rukho loong ah dak hekko ih tongthuk ah.
I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
34 Eno luungwang ah ih jaawako ni tongte loong asuh li ah, ‘Wanghan seng Wah ih romseetam kohalan loong rah ah! Wanghan rangmong hasong adoh tongsong wanghan sen raangtaan ih mongrep phangdong siitta di dook ban khookhamta.
Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
35 Ngah ramtek angtang adi sen ih phaksat kotahe, khamle angtang adi joong kotahe; Ngah wenwah angtang adi sen ih sen nok ni noppoon tahe,
[They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
36 nyia nyumuh angtang adi nyuh kotahe; Ngah khoisat angtang adi sen ih sokboi tahe, phaatak ni tongtang adi sen chomui ra tahan.’
When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
37 “Eno kateng mina loong ah ih ngaakbaat ah, Teesu, seng ih an ramtek khamle ang uh rah babah japtupti eno phak asat ah koti?
Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
38 Seng noppoon suh an wenwah ang uh rah babah jatupti, adoleh an nyumuh ang uh rah nyuh akhat babah koti?
When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
39 Seng ih an khoisat ang uh rah, nyia phaatak ni ang uh rah babah chomui ra tahe?’
When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
40 Luungwang ih ngaakbaat ah, ‘Ngah ih baat rumhala, sen ih changthih noodek arah loong ah nyia ngaaphoh ngaano sokboi tan aju, ngah sokboi tahe!’
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
41 “Erah lidoh dak hekko ni tongte loong asuh li ah, ‘Nga re nawa haloh ang an, sen loong suh Rangte ekhat ela! Babah uh lametka we adoh kah an Hakhoh luungwang nyia heh sah loong raangtaan ih ban khookhamta adoh ah! (aiōnios g166)
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
42 Ngah ramtek angtang adi sen ih phaksat takoh tahe, khamle angtang adi joong takoh tahe;
[It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
43 Ngah wenwah angtang adi sen ih sen nok ni tanopsiit tahe, nyumuh angtang adi sen ih nyuwok takoh tahe, Ngah khoisat nyia phaatak ni angtang adi sen ih tasokboi tahe.’
You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
44 “Eno neng ih ngaakbaat ah, Teesu,” Maatokdi seng ih an ramtek khamle, adoleh wenwah, nyumuh, khoisat, adoleh phaatak ni ang uh rah tup eno lachosok mabah etti?’
They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
45 Luungwang ah ih ngaakbaat ah, ‘Ngah ih baat rumhala, sen ih changthih noodek arah loong chosok daan tan aju, Ngah chosok ah daan tahe.’
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
46 Eno, erah lidoh babah uh lametka we adoh cham thuk suh daap haat ah, enoothong kateng mina loong abah babah uh lathoonka roidong ah chowang ah.” (aiōnios g166)
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
