Mathayo 25
1 “Wakati huo, Ufalme wa Mbinguni utakuwa kama wanawali kumi waliochukua taa zao na kwenda kumlaki bwana arusi.
yA dasha kanyAH pradIpAn gR^ihlatyo varaM sAkShAt karttuM bahiritAH, tAbhistadA svargIyarAjyasya sAdR^ishyaM bhaviShyati|
2 Watano wao walikuwa wapumbavu na watano walikuwa wenye busara.
tAsAM kanyAnAM madhye pa ncha sudhiyaH pa ncha durdhiya Asan|
3 Wale wapumbavu walichukua taa zao lakini hawakuchukua mafuta ya akiba,

4 lakini wale wenye busara walichukua taa zao na mafuta ya akiba kwenye vyombo.

5 Bwana arusi alipokawia kuja wale wanawali wote wakasinzia na kulala.

6 “Usiku wa manane pakawa na kelele: ‘Tazameni, huyu hapa bwana arusi! Tokeni nje mkamlaki!’
anantaram arddharAtre pashyata vara AgachChati, taM sAkShAt karttuM bahiryAteti janaravAt
7 “Ndipo wale wanawali wote wakaamka na kuzitengeneza taa zao.

8 Wale wapumbavu wakawaambia wale wenye busara, ‘Tupatieni mafuta yenu kidogo; taa zetu zinazimika.’

9 “Lakini wale wenye busara wakawajibu, ‘Sivyo, hayatutoshi sisi na ninyi pia. Afadhali mwende kwa wauzao mkajinunulie mafuta yenu.’

10 “Nao walipokuwa wakienda kununua mafuta, bwana arusi akafika. Wale wanawali waliokuwa tayari wakaingia ndani pamoja naye kwenye karamu ya arusi na mlango ukafungwa.
tadA tAsu kretuM gatAsu vara AjagAma, tato yAH sajjitA Asan, tAstena sAkaM vivAhIyaM veshma pravivishuH|
11 “Baadaye wale wanawali wengine nao wakaja, wakaita, ‘Bwana! Bwana! Tufungulie mlango!’

12 “Lakini yeye bwana arusi akawajibu, ‘Amin, amin nawaambia, siwajui ninyi!’

13 “Kwa hiyo kesheni, kwa sababu hamjui siku wala saa.

14 “Tena, Ufalme wa Mbinguni ni kama mtu aliyetaka kusafiri, naye akawaita watumishi wake na kuweka mali yake kwenye uangalizi wao.

15 Mmoja akampa talantatano, mwingine talanta mbili, na mwingine talanta moja. Kila mmoja alipewa kwa kadiri ya uwezo wake. Kisha yeye akasafiri.

16 Yule aliyepewa talanta tano akaenda mara moja akafanya nazo biashara akapata talanta nyingine tano zaidi.

17 Yule aliyepewa talanta mbili akafanya vivyo hivyo, akapata nyingine mbili zaidi.

18 Lakini yule mtumishi aliyekuwa amepokea talanta moja, alikwenda akachimba shimo ardhini na kuificha ile fedha ya bwana wake.

19 “Baada ya muda mrefu, yule bwana wa wale watumishi akarudi na kufanya hesabu nao.
tadanantaraM bahutithe kAle gate teShAM dAsAnAM prabhurAgatya tairdAsaiH samaM gaNayA nchakAra|
20 Yule mtumishi aliyepokea talanta tano akaja, akaleta nyingine tano zaidi. Akasema, ‘Bwana uliweka kwenye uangalizi wangu talanta tano. Tazama, nimepata faida ya talanta tano zaidi.’

21 “Bwana wake akamwambia, ‘Umefanya vizuri sana, mtumishi mwema na mwaminifu! Umekuwa mwaminifu kwa vitu vichache; nami nitakuweka kuwa msimamizi wa vitu vingi. Njoo ushiriki katika furaha ya bwana wako!’

22 “Yule mwenye talanta mbili naye akaja. Akasema, ‘Bwana, uliweka kwenye uangalizi wangu talanta mbili. Tazama nimepata hapa talanta mbili zaidi.’

23 “Bwana wake akajibu, ‘Umefanya vizuri sana, mtumishi mwema na mwaminifu. Umekuwa mwaminifu kwa vitu vichache; nami nitakuweka kuwa msimamizi wa vitu vingi. Njoo ushiriki katika furaha ya bwana wako!’

24 “Kisha yule mtumishi aliyepokea talanta moja akaja, akasema, ‘Bwana, nilijua kwamba wewe ni mtu mgumu, unayevuna mahali usipopanda na kukusanya mahali usipotawanya mbegu.

25 Kwa hiyo niliogopa, nikaenda, nikaificha talanta yako ardhini. Tazama, hii hapa ile iliyo mali yako.’

26 “Bwana wake akajibu, ‘Wewe mtumishi mwovu na mvivu! Ulijua kwamba ninavuna mahali nisipopanda na kukusanya mahali nisipotawanya mbegu.

27 Vyema basi, ingekupasa kuweka fedha yangu kwa watoa riba, ili nirudipo, nichukue ile iliyo yangu na faida yake.

28 “‘Basi mnyangʼanyeni hiyo talanta, mkampe yule mwenye talanta kumi.
atosmAt tAM poTalikAm AdAya yasya dasha poTalikAH santi tasminnarpayata|
29 Kwa maana kila mtu aliye na kitu atapewa zaidi, naye atakuwa navyo tele. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile alicho nacho atanyangʼanywa.

31 “Mwana wa Adamu atakapokuja katika utukufu wake na malaika wote watakatifu pamoja naye, ndipo atakapoketi juu ya kiti cha enzi cha utukufu wake.
