Maatewos 25
1 “Yeroo sanatti mootummaan samii dubarran kudhan kanneen ibsaa isaanii fudhatanii misirricha simachuudhaaf gad baʼan fakkaata.
Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Isaan keessaas shan gowwoota, shan immoo ogeeyyii turan.
And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Warri gowwoonni ibsaa isaanii fudhatan malee zayitii hin fudhanne.
For the foolish, taking their lamps, took no oil with themselves:
4 Warri ogeeyyiin garuu ibsaa isaanii wajjin zayitii qodaatti qabatanii turan.
and the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Misirrichi sun turraan hundumti isaanii mugan; ni rafanis.
But the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and slept.
6 “Halkan walakkaattis sagaleen guddaan, ‘Kunoo, misirrichi dhufeera! Baʼaatii isa simadhaa!’ jedhu tokko dhagaʼame.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom! go ye out to meet him.
7 “Dubarri sun hundinuus kaʼanii ibsaa isaanii qopheeffatan.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Warri gowwoonni sun warra ogeeyyiidhaan, ‘Ibsaan keenya nu duraa dhaamuutti jiraatii zayitii keessan irraa xinnoo nuu kennaa’ jedhan.
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 “Warri ogeeyyiinis deebisanii, ‘Hin kenninu; tarii wanni nuu fi isin gaʼu hin jiru taʼaatii. Qooda kanaa warra gurguran bira dhaqaatii ofii keessaniif bitadhaa’ jedhaniin.
And the wise responded, saying, No, lest there may not be a sufficiency for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 “Garuu utuma isaan zayitii bitachuu dhaquutti jiranuu misirrichi dhufe. Dubarri qophaaʼanis isa wajjin galma cidha fuudhaatti ol galan. Balballis ni cufame.
And they going to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 “Ergasii dubarran kaanis dhufanii, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, yaa Gooftaa, balbala nuuf bani!’ jedhaniin.
And afterwards the other virgins come, saying; Lord, lord, open unto us.
12 “Inni garuu deebisee, ‘Dhuguman isinitti hima; ani isin hin beeku’ jedheen.
And he responding, said; Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
13 “Kanaafuu isin sababii guyyaa sana yookaan saʼaatii sana hin beekneef dammaqaa.
Watch therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 “Ammas mootummaan samii nama biyya fagoo dhaqu tokko fakkaata; namichis garboota isaa waamee qabeenya isaa imaanaa itti kennate.
For as a man going away, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods,
15 Tokkoo tokkoo isaaniittis akkuma dandeettii isaaniitti, isa tokkotti taalaantii shan, isa kaanitti taalaantii lama, isa kaanitti immoo taalaantii tokko kennee kaʼee deeme.
to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each one according to his own ability; and departed.
16 Namichi taalaantii shan fudhate sun, yeroodhuma sana dhaqee ittiin daldalee taalaantii biraa shan irraa buufate.
The one having received the five talents going immediately, operated with the same, and made other five talents.
17 Inni taalaantii lama fudhates akkasuma taalaantii biraa lama irraa buufate.
Likewise the one having received two gained two others.
18 Namichi taalaantii tokko fudhate garuu dhaqee lafa qotee maallaqa gooftaa isaa dhokse.
And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord.
19 “Yeroo dheeraa booddee gooftaan garboota sanaa deebiʼee herrega isaan bira jiru herregate.
And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them.
20 Namichi taalaantii shan fudhatee ture sun taalaantii biraa shan fidee, ‘Yaa gooftaa, ati taalaantii shan imaanaa natti kennitee turte. Ani immoo kunoo, taalaantii shan irraa buufadheera’ jedheen.
And the one having received the five talents coming to him brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me five talents: behold, I have gained other five talents.
21 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee, ‘Yaa garbicha gaarii fi amanamaa, waan gaarii hojjette! Ati waan akka malee xinnoo irratti amanamaa taateerta; ani immoo waan baayʼee irratti sin muuda. Kottuutii gammachuu gooftaa keetiitti gali!’ jedheen.
His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou wast faithful over few things, and I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 “Namichi taalaantii lama fudhatee tures dhufee, ‘Yaa gooftaa, ati taalaantii lama imaanaa natti kennitee turte; ani immoo kunoo, taalaantii biraa lama irraa buufadheera’ jedheen.
And the one having received two talents, coming to him, said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents: behold, I have gained other two talents.
23 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee, ‘Yaa garbicha gaarii fi amanamaa, waan gaarii hojjette! Ati waan xinnoo irratti amanamaa taateerta; ani immoo waan baayʼee irratti sin muuda. Kottuutii gammachuu gooftaa keetiitti gali!’ jedheen.
And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 “Namichi taalaantii tokkicha fudhatee tures dhufee akkana jedhe; ‘Yaa gooftaa, ati nama gara jabeessa iddoo itti hin facaasinii galfattu, iddoo itti hin bittinneessiniis walitti qabattu akka taate nan beeka.
And the one having received one talent also coming, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewn:
25 Kanaafuu ani sodaadhee dhaqeen taalaantii kee lafa keessa dhokse. Taalaantiin kee kunoo ti.’
and being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
26 “Gooftaan isaas deebisee akkana jedhe; ‘Yaa garbicha hamaa dhibaaʼaa! Ati akka ani iddoon itti hin facaasinii galfadhu, iddoon itti hin bittinneessiniis walitti qabadhu beektaa?
And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn?
27 Yoos akka ani yommuun deebiʼutti dhala isaa wajjin fudhadhuuf silaa maallaqa koo warra baankii bira naa kaaʼuu qabda ture.
Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product.
28 “‘Kanaaf taalaanticha isa harkaa fuudhaatii namicha taalaantii kudhan qabuuf kennaa.
Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents.
29 Kan qabu kamiif iyyuu itti dabalamee ni kennama; irraa hafaas ni qabaataatii. Kan hin qabne garuu wanni inni qabu iyyuu irraa fudhatama.
For to every one having it shall be given, and he shall superabound: but from the one not having shall be taken away even that which he has.
30 Garbicha faayidaa hin qabne kana dukkana alaatti gad darbadhaa; achittis booʼichaa fi ilkaan qaruutu taʼa.’
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
31 “Ilmi Namaa yommuu ulfina isaatiin ergamoota Waaqaa hunda wajjin dhufutti, teessoo isaa kan ulfinaa irra ni taaʼa.
But when the Son of min may come in His glory, and all His angels with Him, then will He sit upon the throne of His glory:
32 Saboonni hundinuu fuula isaa duratti walitti qabamu; innis akkuma tikseen tokko hoolotaa fi reʼoota gargar footu sana namoota gargar ni foʼa.
and all nations shall be gathered before Him: and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:
33 Inni hoolota karaa mirga isaa, reʼoota immoo karaa bitaa isaa ni dhaabachiisa.
and He will place the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left.
34 “Yeroo sana Mootichi warra mirga isaa jiraniin akkana jedha; ‘Isin warri Abbaan koo eebbise kottaa mootumicha uumamuu addunyaatii jalqabee isinii qopheeffame sana dhaalaa.
Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Sababiin isaas ani beelofnaan isin nyaata naaf kennitan; dheebonnaan waan ani dhugu naaf kennitan; ani keessummaan ture; isin immoo na simattan;
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in;
36 ani daarraan daara na baaftan; dhukkubsannaan na gaafattan; hidhamnaan dhuftanii na ilaaltan.’
was naked, and ye clothed me: was sick, and ye visited me: was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 “Qajeeltonni sunis deebisanii akkana jedhaniin; ‘Yaa Gooftaa, yoom beeloftee si arginee waan ati nyaattu siif kennine? Yookaan yoom dheebottee si arginee waan ati dhugdu siif kennine?
Then the righteous will respond to Him, saying; Lord, when saw we thee then hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Yoom keessummaa taʼuu kee arginee si simanne? Yookaan yoom daartee si arginee daara si baafne?
And when saw we thee then a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Yoom dhukkubsattee yookaan hidhamtee si arginee dhufnee si ilaalle?’
But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 “Mootiin sunis deebisee, ‘Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; waan obboloota koo warra nama hundumaa gad taʼan kanneen keessaa isa tokkoof gootan kam iyyuu naaf gootan’ jedhaan.
And the King responding will say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did these things to one of the least of these my brethren, you did them unto me.
41 “Ergasiis warra bitaa isaa jiraniin akkana jedha; ‘Isin yaa abaaramoo, na duraa badaatii ibidda bara baraa isa diiyaabiloosii fi ergamoota isaatiif qopheeffametti galaa. (aiōnios g166)
Then will He also say unto those on the left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Ani beelofnaan isin waan ani nyaadhu naaf hin kennineetii; ani dheebonnaan waan ani dhugu naaf hin kennineetii;
For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink:
43 ani keessummaan ture; isin na hin simanne; ani daarraan isin daara na hin baafne; dhukkubsannaan yookaan hidhamnaan dhuftanii na hin ilaalle.’
I was a stranger and you took me not in; was naked, and you clothed me not; was sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
44 “Isaanis, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, ati yoom beeloftee yookaan dheebottee yookaan keessummaa taatee yookaan daartee yookaan dhukkubsattee yookaan hidhamtee si arginee si gargaaruu didne?’ jedhanii deebisu.
Then will they also respond, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto thee?
45 “Innis deebisee, ‘Ani dhuguman isinitti hima; waan obboloota koo warra nama hundaa gad taʼan kanneen keessaa isa tokkoof hin godhin naafis hin goone’ jedha.
Then will He respond to them, saying, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did not these things to one of the least of these, you did them not unto me.
