Mathayo 25
1 Nga upwalume wa kumaunde ulandine ni aija komi babapotwi taa yabe no boka yenda kupokya ngwana arusi.
“Then the kingdom of the heavens will be like ten virgins who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Atano nkati yane babile apumbafu ni atano benge babi bene lunda.
Now five of them were prudent and five foolish.
3 Balo ainja apumbafu bapotwi taa yabe, bapotwi kwaa mauta.
Those who were foolish, taking their lamps, did not take [extra] oil with them,
4 Bali balo atano aelevu bapotwi taa ni mauta.
but the prudent ones took oil in their vessels along with their lamps.
5 Tubwe wakati ngwana arusi pacheliye icha, bote lwatweti lungono no gonjanga.
Now while the bridegroom delayed they all dozed and slept,
6 Lakini kilo cha kungoko kwabi na ndoti, linga, ngwana arusi, mupangite panja mukampoki'.
but at midnight there was a shout: ‘Attention! The bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him.’
7 Nga abo bainja bote bayumwike no washa taa yabe.
Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
8 Balo apumbafu baabakiye balo bene lunda, Mutupongoli mauta ginu mwanja taa yitu yenda imika'.
And the foolish ones said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9 Lakini balo bene lunda batikwayangwa na kwabakiya,'Ngatulengani twa bene ilabu yende dukani mukapeme kiasi kwaajili yinu.
But the prudent ones answered saying, ‘No, in case there not be enough for you and us; instead, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.’
10 Wakati kabayenda pema, ngwana arusi kaicha, na bote babile tayari bayei nakwe muukumbi wa sherehe ya arusi, na nianga watiyigalwa.
But while they went to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the ones who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast—and the door was shut!
11 Baadae balo ainja wenge pia kababuyangana na kababaya,'Ngwana, ngwana, utuyogoli.'
Later the other virgins arrived too saying, ‘Lord, lord, open for us!’
12 Lakini atikwayangwa ni kuwabakiya,'kweli nenda kwamakiya, nenga niatangite kwaa mwenga.'
But in answer he said, ‘Assuredly I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 Kwa eyo mulinge, mana mutangite kwaa lisoba au saa.
Therefore, keep alert, because you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of the Man is coming.
14 Kwa kuwa kati mundu ywa yei nema wa kutalu. Akemite atumwa bake ni kwapeya utajiri wake.
“Because the kingdom is also like a man about to go on a long journey, who called his own servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
15 Yumo wabe ampei talanta tano, ywenge ampei talanta ibele, ni yolo ywenge ampei talanta yimo. Kla mundu apeyilwe lengana na uwezo wake, na yolo tajiri atiboka mwanja wake.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on the journey.
16 Mapema yolo apeyilwe talanta tano ayei kwizungusha, no kwizalisha talanta zenge tano.
So the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 Nyonyonyo yolo apeyilwe talanta ibele, atizalisha zenge ibele.
So also the one who received the two gained another two as well.
18 Lakini yolo mmanda apeyilwe talanta yimo, ayei kachake, ayei kwiebya lembwa na kwikulya ela ya ngwana wake.
But he who received the one went off and dug in the ground and hid his lord's silver.
19 Na baada ya masoba peta, ngwana wa amanda abo atibuya nabalanga hesabu nabo.
“Then, after a long time, the lord of those servants comes and settles accounts with them.
20 Yolo mmanda ywapeyilwe talanta tano kaisa ni kumpeya talanta zenge tano, kabaya,'Ngwana, unipeile talanta tano. Linga, nipatike faida yenge tano.'
“So the one who had received the five talents approached and brought five more talents saying, ‘Lord, you entrusted five talents to me; see, I gained five more talents besides them!’
21 Ngwana wake atikummakiya,'Sapi sana, wa mmanda wananoga na uaminike! ubile na uaminifu kwa ilebe njene. Nilowa kukupeya utawala kwa ilebe yanansima. Ujingii mupuraha ya Ngwana wako.'
His lord said to him: ‘Super, you good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
22 Mmanda ywa apoki talanta ibele kaisa ni kubaya,'Ngwana, unipeyile talanta ibele, linga nipatike faida ya talanta zenge ibele.
So the one who had received the two talents also approached and said, ‘Lord, you entrusted two talents to me; see, I gained two more talents besides them!’
23 Ngwana wake kammakiya,'Hongera, mmanda unoyite ni mwaminifu! Ubile mwaminifu kwa ilebe njene. Nipala kukupeya madaraka kunani ya ilebe yote. Jingya mupuraha ya ngwana wako.'
His lord said to him: ‘Super, you good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24 Baadae yolo mmanda ywapoki talanta yimo nembe kaisa no baya,'Ngwana, nikutangite panga wenga wa mundu wa nkale, uuna pange panda.
“Then he who had received the one talent also approached and said: ‘Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter.
25 Nenga natiyogopa, natiyenda kasango no iya talanta yako pae. Linga, ubile nayo pano yelo yaibile yako.'
And being afraid I went off and hid your talent in the ground; here, take what is yours.’
26 Lakini ngwana wake kayangwa no baya,'wenga, wa mmanda muou ni nzembe, watangite panga niuna pandu panikotwike panda no una pange lema.
So in answer his lord said to him: ‘You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.
27 Bola ngabeka talanta yango kwa bandu ba benki, ni wakati wa kubuya kwango mbaitepokya talanta yango pamope ni faida.
Therefore you were obligated to deposit my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received what is mine with interest.
28 Tubwe mumpokonye ayo talanta ni mumpei yolo mundu ywabile na talanta komi.
Therefore, take the talent away from him and give it to the one having the ten talents.
29 Kila mundu ywabile nacho, alowa yongelekwa hata kwotweleya muno. Lakini ywange ba nacho alowa pokonyolwa.
For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but the one who does not have, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away from him.
30 Muntaikwe panja palubendo aywo mtumwa ywange faika, nakwo kwabana kilelo no sagamino.
And throw out the useless servant, into the darkness farthest out!’ There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Wakati mwana wa Adamu paisa mu'utukufu wake na malaika bote pamope na bembe, ngatama pakitengo chake cha utukufu.
“When the Son of the Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on His throne of glory.
32 Mataifa gote balowa kusanyilwa nnonge yake, najwembe alowa kwabawa bandu, kati mchungaji mwabawa bwii na ngondolo.
And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 Alowa kwabeka ngondolo luboko lwake lwakumalyo, ila mwii alowa kwabeka luboko lwa kukeya.
And the sheep He will place on His right, but the goats on His left.
34 Alapu mpwalume alowa kwabakiya balo bababile luboko lwake lwakumalyo,'Mwise, mwamubakilwe na Tate bangu ba kumaunde.
Then the King will say to those on His right: ‘Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you at the foundation of the world.
35 Kwa mwanja nabile ni njala mwanipei chakulya, nabi na ng'eni mwatikunkaribisha;
For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;
36 Nabi na bula na mwambei ngobo; nabile nangonjwa mwatinitunza. Nabile natabilwe ni munilekite.'
I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me.’
37 Nga bene haki kabannyangwa ni kummakiya,'Ngwana, lisomangani lyatubweni wi njala, na kukupeya chakulya? au ubi na nyota tukupei mase?
Then the righteous will answer Him saying: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 Na lisoba ngani tukubweni wiwang'eni, na twatikukaribisha? Au ubi na bula tukupei ngobo?
When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
39 Na lisoba gani twakubweni watamwe, au utabilwe, twaisi kukulola.
Or when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
40 Na mpwalume alowa kwayangwa na kwabakiya,'Kweli nenda kuamakiya, cha mupangite pano kwa yumo wa nongo bango achunu, mwanipangii nenga.'
And in answer the King will say to them, ‘Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
41 Nga alowa kwabakiya balo bababile luboko lwake lwakunkeya,'Mubokange kachango, mwamulanilwe, muyende kumwoto wange yomoka wautayarishwe kwaajili ya nchela na malaika bake. (aiōnios g166)
“Then He will also say to those on His left: ‘Go away from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Kwa mwanja nabi na njala mwambei kwa chakulya; nabi na nyota mwabei kwa mache gonywa.
For I was hungry and you did not give me food; I was thirsty and you did not give me drink;
43 Nabi na ng'eni mwangalibishwe kwaa; nabi na bula mwambei kwaa ngobo, nabi naatamwe na natitabilwa, lakini mwaisi kwa kunilola!
I was a stranger and you did not take me in; I was naked and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
44 Nga nabo nembe balowa kun'yangwa na kumakiya,'Ngwana lisoba gani tukubweni ubile na njala au ubile na nyota au wang'eni, au ubile bula au ubi waatamwe, au utabilwe, na tukuhudumiye kwaa?
Then they also will answer saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’
45 Mwisho alowa kwayangwa na kwabakiya, kweli nenda kumakiya, chelo chamukotwike kwapangya jumo ywa balo bana, mwambaki kwa nenga.
Then He will answer them saying, ‘Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to me.’
