Matthew 25
1 “Nígbà náà ni ó fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé àwọn wúńdíá mẹ́wàá. Ti wọ́n gbé fìtílà wọn láti lọ pàdé ọkọ ìyàwó.
"Then will the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Márùn-ún nínú wọn jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n, márùn-ún nínú wọn ni wọ́n jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n.
"And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Àwọn tí wọ́n jẹ́ aláìgbọ́n gbé fìtílà wọn ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mú epo kankan lọ́wọ́.
"The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
4 Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n mú epo sínú kólòbó lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú fìtílà wọn.
"but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.
5 Nígbà tí ọkọ ìyàwó pẹ́, gbogbo wọn tòògbé wọn sì sùn.
"Now because the bridegroom tarried, they all fell to nodding and went on sleeping.
6 “Nígbà tí ó di ọ̀gànjọ́, igbe ta sókè, ‘Wò ó, ọkọ ìyàwó ń bọ̀, ẹ jáde sóde láti pàdé rẹ̀.’
"But at midnight there arose a cry, "‘Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet him!’
7 “Nígbà náà ni àwọn wúńdíá sì tají, wọ́n tún fìtílà wọn ṣe.
"Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps;
8 Àwọn aláìgbọ́n márùn-ún tí kò ní epo rárá bẹ àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n pé kí wọn fún àwọn nínú èyí tí wọ́n ní nítorí fìtílà wọn ń kú lọ.
"and the foolish said to the wise, "‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n márùn-ún dáhùn pé, bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́; kí ó má ba à ṣe aláìtó fún àwa àti ẹ̀yin, ẹ kúkú tọ àwọn tí ń tà á lọ, kí ẹ sì rà fún ara yín.
"‘Not so, answered the wise, ‘for there may not be enough for you and for us. Go to the shops, rather, and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “Ní àsìkò tí wọ́n lọ ra epo tiwọn, ni ọkọ ìyàwó dé. Àwọn wúńdíá tí ó múra tán bá a wọlé sí ibi àsè ìgbéyàwó, lẹ́yìn náà, a sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn.
"And while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast. And the door was shut.
11 “Ní ìkẹyìn ni àwọn wúńdíá márùn-ún ìyókù dé, wọ́n ń wí pé, ‘Olúwa, Olúwa, ṣílẹ̀kùn fún wa.’
"Afterwards the other maidens came and cried, "‘Lord, Lord, open unto us!’
12 “Ṣùgbọ́n ọkọ ìyàwó dáhùn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín èmi kò mọ̀ yín rí.’
"‘In solemn truth I tell you,’ he replied, ‘I know you not.’
13 “Nítorí náà, ẹ máa ṣọ́nà. Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kò mọ ọjọ́ tàbí wákàtí tí Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò dé.
"Be watchful then, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 “A sì tún fi ìjọba ọ̀run wé ọkùnrin kan tí ó ń lọ sí ìrìnàjò. Ó pe àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì kó ohun ìní rẹ̀ fún wọn.
"For it is like a man going into another country, who summoned his slaves, and committed his property to their care.
15 Ó fún ọ̀kan ni tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún, ó fún èkejì ni tálẹ́ǹtì méjì, ó sì fún ẹ̀kẹta ni tálẹ́ǹtì kan, ó fún olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára rẹ̀ ti mọ, ó sì lọ ìrìnàjò tirẹ̀.
"To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another, one - to each according to his individual ability - and then set out on his travels.
16 Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún bẹ̀rẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ láti fi owó náà ṣòwò. Láìpẹ́, ó sì jèrè márùn-ún mìíràn.
"At once the man who had received the five talents went out and traded with them, and made five talents more.
17 Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì méjì náà fi tirẹ̀ ṣòwò. Láìpẹ́, ó sì jèrè tálẹ́ǹtì méjì mìíràn.
"In the same way the one who got two talents made another two.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí ò gba tálẹ́ǹtì kan, ó wa ihò ní ilẹ̀, ó sì bo owó ọ̀gá mọ́ ibẹ̀.
"But he who had received the one talent went off, and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 “Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ pípẹ́, olúwa àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ dé láti àjò rẹ̀. Ó pè wọ́n jọ láti bá wọn ṣírò owó rẹ̀.
"After a long time the master of those slaves came, and demanded a reckoning with them.
20 Ọkùnrin tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún, mú márùn-ún mìíràn padà wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, ìwọ ti fi tálẹ́ǹtì márùn-ún fún mi, mo sì ti jèrè márùn-ún mìíràn pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.’
"The man who had received the five talents came, bringing five more, and said. "‘Master, five talents you entrusted to me; see, I have gained five more.’
21 “Olúwa rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, ‘O ṣeun ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rere àti olóòtítọ́: ìwọ ṣe olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun díẹ̀, èmi yóò fi ọ́ ṣe olórí ohun púpọ̀, bọ́ sínú ayọ̀ olúwa rẹ.’
"‘Well done, good and faithful slave,’ replied his master; ‘You have been faithful over many things. Enter into your master’s joy.’
22 “Èyí tí ó gba tálẹ́ǹtì méjì wí pé ‘Olúwa, ìwọ fún mi ní tálẹ́ǹtì méjì láti lò, èmi sì ti jèrè tálẹ́ǹtì méjì mìíràn.’
"The second, who had received the two talents, came up and said. "‘Master, it was two talents that you entrusted to me; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “Olúwa rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, ‘O ṣeun, ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rere àti olóòtítọ́. Ìwọ ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun díẹ̀, èmi yóò fi ọ ṣe olórí ohun púpọ̀. Ìwọ bọ́ sínú ayọ̀ olúwa rẹ.’
"‘Well done, good and faithful slave,’ his master replied, ‘You have been faithful over many things; enter into your master’s joy.’
24 “Níkẹyìn, ọkùnrin tí a fún ní tálẹ́ǹtì kan wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, mo mọ̀ pé òǹrorò ènìyàn ni ìwọ ń ṣe ìwọ ń kórè níbi tí ìwọ kò gbìn sí, ìwọ ń kójọ níbi tí ìwọ kò ó ká sí.
"Then the man who had received the one talent came up and said. "‘Master, I knew you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown, and gathering where you had not scattered;
25 Èmi bẹ̀rù, mo sì lọ pa tálẹ́ǹtì rẹ mọ́ sínú ilẹ̀. Wò ó, nǹkan rẹ nìyìí.’
"so I was afraid; I went away and buried your talent in the earth. There, you have what belongs to you!’
26 “Ṣùgbọ́n olúwa rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, ‘Ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ búburú, ìwọ mọ̀ pé èmi ń kórè níbi tí èmi kò fúnrúgbìn sì, èmi sì ń kójọ níbi tí èmi kò fọ́nká ká sí.
"‘You wicked and lazy slave,’ said his master. ‘You say you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered?
27 Nígbà náà ìwọ ìbá kúkú fi owó mi sí ilé ìfowópamọ́ tí èmi bá dé èmi ìbá le gba owó mi pẹ̀lú èrè.
"‘Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my property with interest.
28 “‘Ó sì pàṣẹ kí a gba tálẹ́ǹtì náà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, kí a sì fún ọkùnrin tí ó ní tálẹ́ǹtì mẹ́wàá.
"‘So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has ten talents.
29 Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ní a ó fún sí i, yóò sí tún ní sí lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n láti ọwọ́ ẹni tí kò ní ni a ó ti gbà èyí tí ó ní.
"‘(For to every one who has, it shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.)
30 Nítorí ìdí èyí, gbé aláìlérè ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, jù ú sínú òkùnkùn lóde, ibẹ̀ ni ẹ̀kún òun ìpayínkeke yóò gbé wà.’
"‘But cast out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.’
31 “Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti Ọmọ Ènìyàn yóò wá nínú ògo rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn angẹli rẹ̀ nígbà náà ni yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ògo ní ọ̀run.
"But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he take his seat on the throne of his glory;
32 Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ni a ó kójọ níwájú rẹ̀, òun yóò sì ya àwọn ènìyàn ayé sí ọ̀tọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ṣe é ya àgùntàn kúrò lára àwọn ewúrẹ́.
"and all the nations will be gathered in his presence. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats;
33 Òun yóò sì fi àgùntàn sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún àti ewúrẹ́ sí ọwọ́ òsì.
"and he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 “Nígbà náà ni ọba yóò wí fún àwọn tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún pé, ‘Ẹ wá, ẹ̀yin tí Baba mi ti bùkún fún, ẹ jogún ìjọba tí a ti pèsè fún yín láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé.
"Then he, the King will say to those on his right hand. "‘Come, my Father’s blessed ones, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Nítorí ebi pa mi, ẹ̀yin sì fún mi ní oúnjẹ, òǹgbẹ gbẹ mí, ẹ̀yin sì fún mi ní omi. Mo jẹ́ àlejò, ẹ̀yin sì pè mí sínú ilé yín.
"‘For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
36 Mo wà ní ìhòhò, ẹ̀yin sì daṣọ bò mí. Nígbà tí mo ṣe àìsàn ẹ ṣe ìtójú mi, àti ìgbà tí mo wà ní ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n ẹ̀yin bẹ̀ mí wò.’
"‘I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to see me.’
37 “Nígbà náà ni àwọn olódodo yóò fèsì pé, ‘Olúwa, nígbà wo ni àwa rí ọ tí ebi ń pa ọ́, tí a sì fún ọ ní oúnjẹ? Tàbí tí òǹgbẹ ń gbẹ ọ́ tí a sì fún ọ ní ohun mímu?
"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying. ‘Master, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink?
38 Tàbí tí o jẹ́ àlejò tí a gbà ó sínú ilé wa? Tàbí tí o wà ní ìhòhò, tí a sì daṣọ bò ọ́?
"‘When did we see you a stranger and take you in; or naked and clothe you?
39 Nígbà wo ni a tilẹ̀ rí i tí o ṣe àìsàn, tàbí tí o wà ní ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n, tí a bẹ̀ ọ́ wò?’
"‘When did we see you sick or in prison, and come to see you?’
40 “Ọba náà yóò sì dáhùn yóò sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín pé níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ̀yin ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún àwọn arákùnrin mi yìí tí o kéré jú lọ, ẹ̀ ń ṣe wọn fún mi ni.’
"‘In solemn truth I tell you,’ the King will answer them, ‘that inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brothers, you have done it unto me.’
41 “Nígbà náà ni yóò sọ fún àwọn tí ọwọ́ òsì pé, ‘Ẹ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, ẹ̀yin ẹni ègún, sínú iná àìnípẹ̀kun tí a ti tọ́jú fún èṣù àti àwọn angẹli rẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
"Then he will say to those also at his left hand. ‘Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
42 Nítorí tí ebi pa mi, ẹ̀yin kò tilẹ̀ bọ́ mi, òrùngbẹ gbẹ mi, ẹ kò tilẹ̀ fún mi ní omi láti mu.
"for I was hungry, and you gave me no food; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

"I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, or in prison, and you visited me not.’

"Then will they also answer, ‘Master, when did we ever see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?’
45 “Nígbà náà àwọn yóò dáhùn pé, ‘Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún pé, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ti kọ̀ láti ran ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó kéré jù lọ́wọ́ nínú arákùnrin mi, ẹ̀yin tí kọ̀ láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún mi ni.’
"But he will reply, ‘In solemn truth I tell you that inasmuch as you did not do it unto one of these least, you did not do it unto me.’
