Mathayo 25
1 “Wakati huo, Ufalme wa mbinguni utafanana na wasichana kumi waliochukua taa zao, wakaenda kumlaki bwana arusi.
yA daza kanyAH pradIpAn gRhlatyO varaM sAkSAt karttuM bahiritAH, tAbhistadA svargIyarAjyasya sAdRzyaM bhaviSyati|
2 Watano miongoni mwao walikuwa wapumbavu na watano walikuwa wenye busara.
tAsAM kanyAnAM madhyE panjca sudhiyaH panjca durdhiya Asan|
3 Wale wapumbavu walichukua taa zao, lakini hawakuchukua akiba ya mafuta.
yA durdhiyastAH pradIpAn saggE gRhItvA tailaM na jagRhuH,
4 Lakini wale wenye busara walichukua mafuta katika chupa pamoja na taa zao.

5 Kwa kuwa bwana arusi alikawia kuja, wale wanawali wote wote walisinzia, wakalala.
anantaraM varE vilambitE tAH sarvvA nidrAviSTA nidrAM jagmuH|
6 Usiku wa manane kukawa na kelele: Haya, haya! Bwana arusi anakuja; nendeni kumlaki.
anantaram arddharAtrE pazyata vara Agacchati, taM sAkSAt karttuM bahiryAtEti janaravAt
7 Hapo wale wanawali wote wakaamka, wakazitayarisha taa zao.
tAH sarvvAH kanyA utthAya pradIpAn AsAdayituM Arabhanta|
8 Wale wapumbavu wakawaambia wale wenye busara: Tupeni mafuta yenu kidogo maana taa zetu zinazimika.
tatO durdhiyaH sudhiya UcuH, kinjcit tailaM datta, pradIpA asmAkaM nirvvANAH|
9 Lakini wale wenye busara wakawaambia, Hayatatutosha sisi na ninyi! Afadhali mwende dukani mkajinunulie wenyewe!

10 Basi, wale wanawali wapumbavu walipokwenda kununua mafuta, bwana arusi akafika, na wale wanawali waliokuwa tayari wakaingia pamoja naye katika jumba la arusi, kisha mlango ukafungwa.
tadA tAsu krEtuM gatAsu vara AjagAma, tatO yAH sajjitA Asan, tAstEna sAkaM vivAhIyaM vEzma pravivizuH|
11 Baadaye wale wanawali wengine wakaja, wakaita: Bwana, bwana, tufungulie!

12 Lakini yeye akawajibu, Nawaambieni kweli, siwajui ninyi.”

13 Kisha Yesu akasema, “Kesheni basi, kwa maana hamjui siku wala saa.

14 “Itakuwa kama mtu mmoja aliyetaka kusafiri ng'ambo: aliwaita watumishi wake, akawakabidhi mali yake.

15 Alimpa kila mmoja kadiri ya uwezo wake: mmoja sarafu tano za fedha ziitwazo talanta, mwingine talanta mbili na mwingine talanta moja, kisha akasafiri.

16 Mara yule aliyekabidhiwa talanta tano akafanya kazi nazo akapata faida talanta tano.

17 Hali kadhalika na yule aliyekabidhiwa talanta mbili akapata faida talanta mbili.

18 Lakini yule aliyekabidhiwa talanta moja akaenda akachimba shimo ardhini, akaificha fedha ya bwana wake.

19 “Baada ya muda mrefu, yule bwana alirudi, akaanza kukagua hesabu ya matumizi na mapato ya fedha yake.

20 Mtumishi aliyekabidhiwa talanta tano akaja amechukua zile talanta tano faida, akamwambia, Bwana, ulinikabidhi talanta tano, hapa pana talanta tano zaidi faida niliyopata.

21 Bwana wake akamwambia, Vema, mtumishi mwema na mwaminifu. Umekuwa mwaminifu katika mambo madogo nitakukabidhi makubwa. Njoo ufurahi pamoja na bwana wako.

22 “Mtumishi aliyekabidhiwa talanta mbili akaja, akatoa talanta mbili faida, akisema, Bwana, ulinikabidhi talanta mbili. Chukua talanta mbili zaidi faida niliyopata.

24 “Lakini yule aliyekabidhiwa talanta moja akaja, akasema, Bwana, najua wewe ni mtu mgumu; wewe huvuna pale ambapo hukupanda, na kukusanya pale ambapo hukutawanya.

25 Niliogopa, nikaificha fedha yako katika ardhi. Chukua basi mali yako.

26 “Bwana wake akamwambia, Wewe ni mtumishi mwovu na mvivu! Unajua kuwa mimi huvuna mahali ambapo sikupanda, na hukusanya pale ambapo sikutawanya.

27 Ilikupasa basi, kuiweka fedha yangu katika benki, nami ningelichukua mtaji wangu na faida yake!

28 Basi, mnyang'anyeni hiyo fedha mkampe yule mwenye talanta kumi.

29 Maana, aliye na kitu atapewa na kuzidishiwa. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile alicho nacho kitachukuliwa.
