Mateo 25
1 “Ɔsoro Ahennie te sɛ mmabaawa edu bi a wɔfaa wɔn nkanea sɛ wɔrekɔhyia ayeforɔkunu.
"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Na mmabaawa no mu baanum yɛ anyansafoɔ ɛnna baanum nso yɛ nkwaseafoɔ.
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Wɔn mu nkwaseafoɔ no rekɔ no, wɔfaa wɔn nkanea nanso wɔamfa ngo anka ho.
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 Nanso, wɔn mu anyansafoɔ no deɛ, wɔrekorɔ no, wɔfaa ngo kaa wɔn nkanea ho de kɔeɛ.
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Ayeforɔkunu no amma ntɛm, enti wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ totɔɔ nko dedaeɛ.
Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “Ɔdasuom na wɔtee nteateamu sɛ, ‘Ayeforɔkunu no reba! Momfiri adi nkɔhyia no!’
But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
7 “Mmabaawa yi nyinaa sɔre buebuee wɔn nkanea no.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Nkwaseafoɔ no srɛɛ anyansafoɔ no sɛ, ‘Momma yɛn mo ngo no bi ngu yɛn nkanea no mu na ɛredum.’
The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 “Anyansafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Krasin a yɛwɔ no sua. Monkɔ kurom nkɔtɔ bi.’
But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there is not enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
10 “Wɔrekɔtɔ ngo no pɛ, na ayeforɔkunu no baeɛ. Enti, wɔn a wɔasiesie wɔn ho no ne ayeforɔkunu no kɔɔ nʼapontoɔ no ase, na wɔtoo ɛpono no mu.
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
11 “Akyire yi a baanum no sane baeɛ no, wɔgyinaa ɛpono no akyi frɛɛ sɛ, ‘Owura, hini yɛn!’
Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
12 “Nanso, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfiri hɔ nkɔ. Mennim mo!’
But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
13 “Enti, monwɛn na monnim da anaa dɔn ko a mɛsane aba.
Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
14 “Bio, Ɔsoro Ahennie te sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔretu ɛkwan akɔ ɔman foforɔ bi so. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼapaafoɔ baasa, maa wɔn mu biara sika a ɛfata sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ adwuma.
"For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
15 Ɔmaa ɔbaako dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson. Ɔmaa deɛ ɔdi hɔ no dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe ɛnna ɔmaa deɛ ɔtwa toɔ no dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 Ɔpaani a ɔmaa no dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson no de sika no kɔdii dwa, nyaa mfasoɔ dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson kaa ho.
Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 Deɛ ɔnyaa dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe no nso de sika no kɔyɛɛ adwuma nyaa mfasoɔ dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe kaa ne sika no ho.
In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
18 Nanso, ɔpaani a ne wura maa no dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan no deɛ, ɔkɔtuu fam de sika no siee hɔ.
But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 “Mmerɛ bi akyi, wɔn wura no firi akwantuo mu baeɛ. Ɔfrɛɛ apaafoɔ baasa yi sɛ wɔmmɛbu nkonta nkyerɛ no.
"Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
20 Deɛ ɔnyaa dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson no de dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson kaa ho baeɛ. Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Me wura, womaa me dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson. Hwɛ, manya dwetɛ kilogram ɔha aduɔson aka ho.’
And he who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained another five talents.'
21 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mo, akoa pa ne nokwafoɔ, woadi kakra yi ho nokorɛ, mede wo bɛsi nneɛma pii so panin. Bra, na me ne wo nni dɛ!’
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
22 “Ɔpaani a ɔmaa no dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe no nso baeɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne wura no sɛ, ‘Worekɔ no, womaa me dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe. Mede yɛɛ adwuma, na manya dwetɛ kilogram aduosia nnwɔtwe aka ho.’
"And he also who had the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'
23 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mo, akoa pa ne nokwafoɔ, woadi kakra yi ho nokorɛ, mede wo bɛsi nneɛma pii so panin. Bra wo wura anigyeɛ mu!’
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
24 “Ɔpaani a ɔnyaa dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan no nso baeɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne wura no sɛ, ‘Owura, menim sɛ woyɛ onipa a wʼasɛm yɛ den. Wotumi twa wɔ deɛ wonnuaeɛ, ɛnna wotumi boaboa ano wɔ deɛ wompeteeɛ;
"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
25 enti mesuroeɛ, na mede wo sika no kɔhyɛɛ fam, enti wʼadeɛ nie!’
I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
26 “Ne wura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Akoa bɔne ne onihafoɔ! Wonim sɛ metumi twa wɔ deɛ mennuaeɛ, na metumi boaboa ano wɔ deɛ mempeteeɛ a,
"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.
27 anka ɛsɛ sɛ wode sika no kɔto sikakorabea nya nsiho to hɔ ma me.
You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
28 “‘Monnye ne nsam sika no, na momfa nkɔma deɛ ɔnyaa dwetɛ kilogram ahasa aduanan no.
Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 Obiara a ɔde deɛ wɔde ama no no bɛyɛ ade pa no, wɔde bi bɛka no ho. Na obiara a wamfa deɛ wɔde ama no no anyɛ ade pa no, deɛ ɔwɔ no mpo, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
30 Monto akoa a ne ho nni mfasoɔ yi ntwene esum kabii mu: ɛhɔ na esu ne agyaadwoɔ wɔ.’
Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
31 “Na sɛ Onipa Ba no ba nʼanimuonyam mu a abɔfoɔ nyinaa ka ne ho a, saa ɛberɛ no na ɔbɛtena nʼanimuonyam ahennwa no so.
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 Na wɔbɛboaboa aman nyinaa ano nʼanim. Na ɔbɛpa nnipa no mu sɛdeɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ pa nnwan firi mpɔnkye mu;
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 na ɔde nnwan no bɛgyina ne nifa so, na ɔde mpɔnkye no agyina ne benkum so.
He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 “Ɛno na Ɔhene no bɛka akyerɛ wɔn a wɔgyina ne nifa so no sɛ, ‘Mo a mʼagya ahyira mo, mommra mmɛfa ahennie a wɔasiesie ama mo firi ewiase ahyɛaseɛ no nni!
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Ɛkɔm dee me, na momaa me aduane diiɛ. Sukɔm dee me, na momaa me nsuo nomeeɛ. Meyɛɛ ɔhɔhoɔ, na mode me kɔɔ mo fie.
for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
36 Medaa adagya na mofiraa me ntoma. Meyareeɛ, na mobɛsraa me. Medaa afiase, na mobɛhwɛɛ me.’
I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
37 “Saa ɛberɛ no mu na ateneneefoɔ bɛbisa sɛ, ‘Owura, da bɛn na yɛhunuu wo sɛ ɛkɔm de wo a, yɛmaa wo aduane, na sukɔm de wo a yɛmaa wo nsuo nomeeɛ?
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 Afei, da bɛn na yɛhunuu sɛ woyɛɛ ɔhɔhoɔ a, yɛde wo kɔɔ yɛn fie, anaasɛ wodaa adagya a, yɛfiraa wo ntoma?
When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
39 Afei, da bɛn na yɛhunuu sɛ woyare a, yɛbɛsraa wo, anaasɛ wodaa afiase a, yɛbɛhwɛɛ wo?’
When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
40 “Na Ɔhene no, bɛbua wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛ moayɛ ama me nuanom nkumaa yi mu baako yi, moayɛ ama me!’
"The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
41 “Afei, mɛdane mʼani akyerɛ wɔn a wɔgyina me benkum so no aka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Mo a wɔadome mo, wɔmfa mo nkɔgu ogyatannaa a ɛnnum da a wɔasɔ ama ɔbonsam ne nʼahokafoɔ no mu. (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
42 Na ɛkɔm dee me, moamma me aduane anni, sukɔm dee me, moamma me nsuo annom.
for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43 Meyɛɛ ɔhɔhoɔ, moamfa me ankɔ mo fie. Medaa adagya, moamfira me ntoma. Meyareeɛ, moammɛsra me. Medaa afiase, moammɛhwɛ me.’
I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'
44 “Wɔn nso bɛbua no sɛ, ‘Awurade, da bɛn na yɛhunuu wo sɛ ɛkɔm dee wo, anaasɛ sukɔm dee wo, anaasɛ woyɛɛ ɔhɔhoɔ, anaasɛ wodaa adagya, anaasɛ woyareeɛ, anaasɛ wodaa afiase, na yɛanyɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ amma wo?’
"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'
45 “Na mɛbua wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛ moanyɛ amma nkumaa yi mu baako enti, moanyɛ amma me.’
"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'
