Matayu 25
1 “Shipindi ashi Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana hangu. Kuweriti na walii lilongu yawatoliti koloboyi zawu na wagenditi kumwanka mpalu gwa ndowa.
“Then will the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
2 Wamuhanu wamu waweriti na mahala na wamuhanu wamonga waweriti wazigizigi.
and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
3 Wazigizigi walii watoliti koloboyi zyawu pota kutola mafuta ga motu ga shigubukiru.
they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
4 Kumbiti wanaluhala walii watoliti mafuta ga motu gatosha msupa zyawu.
and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
5 Mpalu gwa ndowa kakawiti kwiza, su walii woseri wanjiti kusizira na wagonjiti.
And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
6 “Paiweriti kala lugonu kuweriti mashowanganu, ‘Aya aya mpalu gwa ndowa! Mgendi mwakamwanki!’
and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
7 Walii lilongu walii wimuka na wazitandira koloboyi zyawu.
Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
8 Shakapanu wazigizigi walii wawagambira wanaluhala walii, ‘Mtupungulili mafuta ga motu, toziya koloboyi zya twenga zankugenda kutenda tiya.’
and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
9 Wanaluhala walii wawankula, ‘Ndala, toziya mafuta ga motu gatutosha ndiri twenga pamuhera na mwenga. Mgendi kuvikolija mwakahemeri maweni.’
and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.
10 Su walii wazigizigi walii pawagenditi kuhemera mafuta ga motu, mpalu gwa ndowa kasoka. Na walii wamuhanu walii yawaweriti kala wingiriti pamuhera na mpalu gwa ndowa mnumba ya msambu na shakapanu mlyangu gutatwa.
And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feasts, and the door was shut;
11 “Shakapanu walii wamonga walii wawuya. Su womberi wabotanga, ‘Mtuwa, mtuwa! Gutuvuguliri mlyangu!’
and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
12 Nayomberi hakawankuli, ‘Ndala, nuwamana ndiri mwenga!’”
and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
13 Na Yesu kamalaliriti kwa kutakula, “Mlikali weri, toziya muvimana ndiri lishaka ama lisaa.”
Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
14 “Shipindi shilii Ufalumi wa Mlungu haulifani hangu. Kweniti muntu yumu yakafiriti kugenda mwanja, kawashema wantumintumi wakuwi na kawatula waloleri ulunda wakuwi.
For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
15 Kamupiti kila muntu kulawirana na uwezu wakuwi, yumu kamupiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya na yumonga kamupiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya na yumonga kamupiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya. Su kawuka kagenda mwanja.
and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
16 Ntumintumi yakawankiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya kazitendera lihengu mpiya zilii kapata mota mihaku muhanu imonga.
And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
17 Ntambu iraa ayi ntumintumi yakawankiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya kapatiti mota mihaku imonga miwili ya mpiya.
in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
18 Kumbiti ntumini yakawankiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya kagutula, kagenda kabawa lirindi mulitapaka, kazififa mpiya zya Mtuwa gwakuwi.
and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 “Pashipindi shivuwa mtuwa gwa wantumintumi woseri kawuyiti na kutenda mawalanga pamuhera nawomberi.
And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
20 Ntumintumi yakatoliti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya kiza kajega mihaku imonga ya mpiya. Kalonga, ‘Mtuwa guloli!’ Gunupiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya, panu kwana mihaku muhanu imonga yaiyongelekiti.
and he who received the five talents, having come, brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me; behold, I gained five other talents besides them.
21 Mtuwa kalonga, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwamuheri na ntumintumi gwaminika! Guwera mwaminika mushitwatira shididiki, su hanikutuli guloleri vitwatira vikulu. Gwizi tunemeleli pamuhera!’
And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
22 “Shakapanu ntumini yakawankiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya kiziti na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, gunupiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya. Guloli! Panu pana mihaku miwili imonga yaiyongelekiti.’
And he also, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I gained two other talents besides them.
23 Mtuwa gwakuwi kalonga, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwamuheri na ntumintumi mwaminika!’ Gwenga gwaminika mushitwatila shididiki, hanukutuli guloleri vitwatira vikulu. Gwizi panu tunemeleli pamuhera!
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
24 “Shakapanu ntumintumi yakawankiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya kiza na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, nuvimana kuwera gwenga gwa muntu gukalipa, gubena shilii shaguyala ndiri na gujonjonira vyagukwetiti ndiri.
And he also who has received the one talent, having come, said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter;
25 Ntiriti, su ng'enditi na nugufifa muhaku gwa mpiya zyaku.’
and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
26 “Mtuwa gwakuwi kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi mdoda na mleri! Guvimana handa neni mbena pota na kuyala na njojinira pota na kukweta.
And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
27 Sawa, ifiruwitwi gutuli mpiya ya neni mubenki na neni mentoliti mpiya zyangu pamuhera na mbotu yakuwi!
It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
28 Vinu, mumpoki mpiya azi mumpanani ulii yakana mihaku lilongu ya mpiya.
Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
29 Toziya muntu yoseri yakawera na shintu hawamupanani na kumwongera, kumbiti ulii yakahera shintu, ata shididini shilii shakaweriti nashu hawampoki.
for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;
30 Na kuusu ntumintumi ulii yakahera mana, mumwasi kunja muntiti, aku hakalili na kuyagaya menu gakuwi.’”
and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 “Mwana gwa Muntu ndomweni Mfalumi pakiza muukwisa wakuwi pamuhera na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wakuwi wananagala, hakalivagi mushibanta shakuwi sha shifalumi muukwisa wakuwi.
And whenever the Son of Man may come in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then He will sit on a throne of His glory;
32 Wantu wa isi zoseri hawajojiniki kulongolu kwakuwi. Na yomberi hakawatuli muvipinga viwili, gambira mlolera mifugu ntambu yakawatulaga gweka wakondolu kulawa mushipinga sha wambuzi.
and all the nations will be gathered together before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 Hakawatuli wantu yawatenda ntambu yakafiriti Mlungu uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu na yawatenditi vidoda uwega wakuwi wa kumshigi.
and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
34 Shakapanu Mfalumi hakawagambiri wantu walii wa uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu, Mwizi, mwenga mtekeleritwi na Tati gwangu! Mwizi na muwuwanki ufalumi yawakutandirani kwanjira pakunyawa pasipanu.
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Pahweriti na njala mwenga munupiti shiboga, panyumuluwiti mwenga mnupiti mashi, nweriti muhenga mwenga mshemera ukaya kwenu,
for I hungered, and you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
36 nweriti shivula hera munvalasiya, nweriti ndwala mwenga munwaziya, nweriti wantatira mushibetubetu mwenga mwiza kutyangira.”
naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
37 “Shakapanu wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu hamwankuli, ‘Mtuwa, tukuwona koshi gwana njala na twenga tukupiti shiboga, ama guweriti guyumuluwa na twenga tukulandasiya mashi?
Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
38 Ndii tukuwoniti gwamuhenga na twenga tukushemera ukaya, ama gwashivula na twenga tukuvalasiya?
And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
39 Tukuwoniti ndii gulwala ama gwamushibetubetu na twenga twiza kukulola?’
And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
40 Mfalumi hakawankuli, ‘Nukugambirani nakaka, kila shintu shammutendiriti yumu gwa wapusu wangu awa muntendera neni!’
And the King answering, will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of these My brothers—the least—you did [it] to Me.
41 “Shakapanu hakawagambiri walii yawaweriti uwega wa kumshigi, ‘Muwuki kulongolu kwa neni, mwenga mpangirwiti na Mlungu! Mgendi mumotu gwa gutenda tiya ndiri gwawamtandiriti Shetani na wantumintumi wakuwi! (aiōnios g166)
Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Go from Me, the cursed, into the continuous fire that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
42 Nweriti na njala, mwenga mnupa ndiri shiboga, nweriti nyumluwa, mwenga mnupa ndiri mashi.
for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 Nweriti namuhenga, mwenga munshemiriti ndiri ukaya kwenu, nweriti shivula hera, mwenga munvalasiya ndiri, nweriti ndwaliti na wantatira mushibetubetu, mwenga mwiza ndiri kuntyangira.’
I was a stranger, and you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after Me.
44 “Shakapanu wamwankula, ‘Ndii, Mtuwa, tukuwoniti gwana njala ama guyumluwa, na gwamuhenga ama gwashivula ama gulwala ama gwamushibetubetu, na twenga twiza ndiri kukutanga?’
Then they will answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?
45 Mfalumi hakawankuli, ‘Nuwagambirani, kila pamlemiti kumtanga yumu gwa wapusu awa, mlemiti kuntanga neni.’
Then will He answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] not to one of these, the least, you did [it] not to Me.
