Mateo 25
1 “Ɔsoro Ahenni te sɛ mmabaa du bi a wɔfaa wɔn akanea se wɔrekohyia ayeforokunu.
Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Na mmabaa no mu baanum yɛ anyansafo na baanum nso yɛ nkwaseafo.
And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Wɔn mu nkwaseafo no rekɔ no, wɔfaa wɔn akanea nanso wɔamfa ngo anka ho.
For the foolish, taking their lamps, took no oil with themselves:
4 Nanso wɔn mu anyansafo no de, wɔrekɔ no wɔfaa ngo kaa wɔn akanea ho kɔe.
and the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Ayeforokunu no amma ntɛm, enti wofii ase totɔɔ nko dedae.
But the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and slept.
6 “Ɔdasu mu na wɔtee nteɛteɛmu se, ‘Ayeforokunu no reba! Mumfi adi nkohyia no!’
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom! go ye out to meet him.
7 “Mmabaa yi nyinaa sɔre buebuee wɔn akanea no.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Nkwaseafo no srɛɛ anyansafo no se, ‘Momma yɛn mo ngo no bi ngu yɛn akanea no mu na ɛredunnum.’
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 “Anyansafo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Ngo a yɛwɔ no sua. Monkɔ kurom nkɔtɔ bi.’
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 “Wɔrekɔ akɔtɔ ngo no pɛ, na ayeforokunu no bae. Enti wɔn a wɔasiesie wɔn ho no ne ayeforokunu no kɔɔ nʼaponto no ase, na wɔtoo ɔpon no mu.
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 “Akyiri no a baanum no san bae no, wogyinaa ɔpon no akyi frɛe se, ‘Owura, hiɛ yɛn!’
And afterwards the other virgins come, saying; Lord, lord, open unto us.
12 “Nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Mumfi hɔ nkɔ. Minnim mo!’
And he responding, said; Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
13 “Enti monwɛn na munnim da anaa dɔn ko no.
Watch therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 “Bio, Ɔsoro Ahenni te sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔretu kwan akɔ ɔman foforo bi so. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔfrɛɛ ne nkoa na ɔde nʼahode maa wɔn.
For as a man going away, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods,
15 Ɔmaa ɔbaako sika nkotoku anum. Ɔmaa ɔfoforo nkotoku abien na ɔfoforo, kotoku baako, sɛnea obiara ahoɔden te.
to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each one according to his own ability; and departed.
16 Nea ɔmaa no nkotoku anum no de sika no kɔyɛɛ adwuma, nyaa mfaso nkotoku anum kaa ho.
The one having received the five talents going immediately, operated with the same, and made other five talents.
17 Saa ara na nea onyaa sika nkotoku abien no nso nyaa abien kaa ho,
Likewise the one having received two gained two others.
18 Nanso nea onyaa kotoku baako no de, okotuu fam de ne wura sika no siee hɔ.
And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord.
19 “Mmere bi akyi na wɔn wura no fi akwantu mu bae ne wɔn bebuu akontaa.
And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them.
20 Nea onyaa sika nkotoku anum no de anum kaa ho bae. Ɔkae se, ‘Me wura, womaa me sika nkotoku anum. Hwɛ, manya anum aka ho.’
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 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Mo, akoa pa ne ɔnokwafo, woadi kakra yi ho nokware, mede wo besi nneɛma pii so panyin. Bra, na me ne wo nni dɛw!’
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 “Akoa a ɔmaa no sika nkotoku abien no nso bae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne wura no se, ‘Worekɔ no, womaa me sika nkotoku abien, hwɛ, manya abien aka ho.’
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 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Mo, akoa pa ne ɔnokwafo, woadi kakra yi ho nokware, mede wo besi nneɛma pii so panyin. Bra, wo wura anigye mu!’
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 “Akoa a onyaa sika kotoku baako no nso bae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne wura no se, ‘Owura, minim sɛ woyɛ onipa a wo ho yɛ nwonwa. Wutumi twa wɔ nea wunnuae ɛ, na wutumi boaboa ano wɔ nea wompetee ɛ;
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 enti misuroi, na mede wo sika no kɔhyɛɛ fam, enti wʼade ni!’
and being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
26 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Akoa bɔne ne onihawfo! So wunim sɛ mitumi twa wɔ nea minnuae, na mitumi boaboa ano wɔ nea mempetee?
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 Saa de a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wode sika no kɔto sikakorabea nya nsiho to hɔ ma me.
Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product.
28 “‘Munnye sika kotoku no mfi ne nsam, na momfa nkɔma nea onyaa nkotoku du no.
Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents.
29 Obiara a ɔwɔ no, wɔde bi bɛka ho ama no anya aboro so. Na obiara a onni no, nea ɔwɔ no mpo, wobegye afi ne nsam.
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 Na wɔatow saa akoa a ne so nni mfaso no akyene sum kabii mu; ɛhɔ na osu ne setwɛre wɔ.’”
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
31 “Na sɛ Onipa Ba no ba nʼanuonyam mu a abɔfo nyinaa ka ne ho a, saa bere no na ɔbɛtena nʼanuonyam ahengua no so.
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 Na wɔbɛboaboa aman nyinaa ano wɔ nʼanim. Na ɔbɛpaw nnipa no mu sɛnea oguanhwɛfo paw nguan fi mmirekyi mu;
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 na ɔde nguan no begyina ne nifa so, na ɔde mmirekyi no agyina ne benkum so.
and He will place the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left.
34 “Ɛno na Ɔhene no bɛka akyerɛ wɔn a wogyina ne nifa so no se, ‘Mo a mʼagya ahyira mo, mommra mmɛfa ahenni a wɔasiesie ama mo fi abɔde mfiase no nni!
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 Ɔkɔm dee me, na momaa me aduan dii. Osukɔm dee me, na momaa me nsu nomee. Meyɛɛ ɔhɔho, na mode me kɔɔ mo fi.
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 Medaa adagyaw na mufuraa me ntama. Meyaree, na mobɛsraa me. Medaa afiase, na mobɛhwɛɛ me.’
was naked, and ye clothed me: was sick, and ye visited me: was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 “Saa bere no mu na atreneefo bebisa se, ‘Owura, da bɛn na yehuu wo sɛ ɔkɔm de wo a, yɛmaa wo aduan, na osukɔm de wo a yɛmaa wo nsu nomee?
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 Afei da bɛn na yehuu sɛ woyɛɛ ɔhɔho, a yɛde wo kɔɔ yɛn fi, anaasɛ wodaa adagyaw a, yefuraa wo ntama?
And when saw we thee then a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Afei da bɛn na yehuu sɛ woyaree a, yɛbɛsraa wo, anaasɛ wodaa afiase a, yɛbɛhwɛɛ wo?’
But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 “Na Ɔhene no, bebua wɔn se, ‘Sɛ moayɛ ama me nuanom nkumaa yi mu baako yi, moayɛ ama me!’
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 “Afei mɛka akyerɛ wɔn a wogyina me benkum so no se, ‘Mo a wɔadome mo, mumfi me so nkɔ ogyatannaa a ennum da a wɔasɔ ama ɔbonsam ne nʼabɔfo no mu. (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 Na ɔkɔm dee me, moamma me aduan anni, osukɔm dee me, moamma me nsu annom.
For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink:
43 Meyɛɛ ɔhɔho, moamfa me ankɔ mo fi. Medaa adagyaw, moamfura me ntama. Meyaree, moammɛsra me. Medaa afiase, moammɛhwɛ me.’
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 “Wɔn nso bebua no se, ‘Awurade, da bɛn na yehuu wo sɛ ɔkɔm dee wo, anaasɛ osukɔm dee wo, anaasɛ woyɛɛ ɔhɔho, anaasɛ wodaa adagyaw, anaasɛ woyaree, anaasɛ wodaa afiase, na yɛammoa wo?’
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 “Na obebua wɔn se, ‘Sɛ moanyɛ amma nkumaa yi mu baako nti, moanyɛ amma me.’
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.
