Matthew 25
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“Kele katema ko, Umwenye wa kwinani chiulandane ni achiŵali likumi ŵaŵajigele ibatali yao, ŵatyosile kwachingamila ambuje ŵa ulombela.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Nsano ŵao ŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ni nsano ŵaliji ŵakalamuka.
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
Ŵaŵaliji ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵajigele ibatali yao, nambo nganajigala mauta ga akiba.
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Nambo ŵele ŵaŵaliji ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajigele mauta mu yupa pamo ni ibatali yao.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Pakuŵa ambuje ŵaulombela ŵakaŵile kwika, achiŵali ŵala wose ŵagwesele ni kugona.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
Nambo sikati chilo nnope kwapali kunyokonya, ‘Nnole! Ambuje ŵaulombela akwika, njaule nkaachingamile.’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Pelepo achiŵali ŵala wose ŵajimwiche, ŵaiŵisile chile ibatali yao.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Ŵele ŵakuloŵela ŵala ŵaasalile ŵakalamuka kuti, ‘Mtupe mauta genu kanandi pakuŵa ibatali yetu ikusimika.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
Nambo ŵakalamuka ŵala ŵajanjile, ‘Ngagatukwana uwe ni ŵanyamwe! Mmbaya njaule kwa kusumisya nkalisumile mwachinsyene!’
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
Nipele, ŵele achiŵali ŵakuloŵela wo paŵajawile kusuma mauta, ambuje ŵaulombela ŵaiche, ni achiŵali ŵaŵaliŵisile chile ŵajinjile pamo nawo mu nyuumba ja ulombela ni nnango waugalikwe.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
Kanyuma achiŵali ŵane ŵala ŵaiche, ŵaaŵilasile, ‘Achimwene, achimwene, ntuugulile!’
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
Nambo ŵelewo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, ngangummanyilila ŵanyamwe.’”
13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye, pakuŵa ngankumanyilila lyuŵa atamuno saa pachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu.
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
“Pakuŵa Umwenye wa kwinani uli mpela mundu jwasachile kwaula ulendo, ŵaaŵilasile ŵakutumichila ŵao ni kwalechela chipanje chakwe.
15 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.
Ŵampele kila jumo ichaikombole, jumo maunjili nsano ga mbiya, ni jwine maunjili gaŵili ni jwine liunjili limo, ni ŵajawile.
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
Nipele, juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵajawile kukusumisya malonda ni ŵapatile mbiya sine maunjili nsano.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
Ilaila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili jula, ŵapatile sine maunjili gaŵili.
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
Nambo jwele juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula, ŵajawile, ni kusola lisimbo paasi, ni ŵasisile mbiya ja achimwene jwao.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
“Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, achimwene jwa ŵakutumichila ŵala ŵausile, ni ŵatandite kuŵalanjila mbiya sisyatumiche ni mbiya sisyapatikene mu mbiya syakwe.
20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’
Katumetume juŵapochele mbiya maunjili nsano ŵaiche ali ajigele gane nsano, ŵaasalile, ‘Achimwene, mwambele maunjili nsano ga mbiya, nnole, nyonjechesye maunjili gane nsano.’
21 “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.’
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
22 “He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’
“Sooni jwakutumichila juŵapochele mbiya maunjili gaŵili ŵaiche, ŵatyosisye mbiya sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, mwambele mbiya maunjili gaŵili. Nnole, mbatile sine maunjili gaŵili gagajonjechekwe.’
23 “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.’
Achimwene jwao ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Yambone, jwakutumichila jwambone ni jwakukulupilichika. Ndi jwakukulupilichika kwa indu yainandi pe, chinampe yejinji. Njise kukusengwa pamo ni achimwene jwenu.’
24 “He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.
“Nambo juŵapochele mbiya liunjili limo jula ŵaiche, ŵatite, ‘Achimwene, nguimanyilila kuti mwe ndi ŵakulimba, mmweji nkugungula pa nganimpande, ni kusonganganya panganimmisa.
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
Najogwepe, najisisile mbiya jenu paasi. Nipele njigale mbiya jenu.’
26 “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.
“Achimwene jwao ŵanjanjile, ‘Mwe ndi jwakutumichila jwangalumbana ni jwa ulesi! Nkuumanyilila kuti une ngugungula panganimbande, ni kusonganganya panganimisa.
27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
Nipele yammajile kujiŵika mbiya jangu mu nyuumba ja kugosela mbiya, none pachiiche ngajijigele jajili jangu ni chakonjecheka chakwe!
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Munsumule mbiya jo mumpe jwakwete mbiya maunjili likumi.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Pakuŵa, jwali ni chindu chapegwe ni konjechekwa. Nambo jwanganakola chindu, ata chele chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Yankati jwakutumichila jwangaikanacho chakonjecheka, mumponye paasa ku chipi! Kweleko chikuŵe ni kulila ni kuchilimya meeno.’”
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
“Katema kachaiche Mwana jwa Mundu mu ukulu wakwe ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani wose ali pamo nawo, pelepo chachitama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye chachili ni ukulu.
32 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.
Ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose chasongangane mmbujo mwao, nombe chachalekanganya ŵandu mpela ŵakuchinga yakuti pakusilekanganya ngondolo ni mbusi.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Chaachisiŵika ngondolo yaani ŵandu ŵambone kundyo kwakwe ni mbusi yaani ŵandu ŵangalumbana kunchiji kwakwe.
34 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;
“Nombe Mwenye chiŵasalile ŵaali ŵa kundyo kwakwe kuti, ‘Njise ŵanyamwe ŵampegwile upile ni Atati ŵangu, mpochele umwenye ŵampanganyichisye chile chitandile kugumbikwa chilambo.
35 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.
Pakuŵa jangwete sala ni ŵanyamwe mwambele chakulya ni jangwete njota ni ŵanyamwe mwambele meesi ni naliji jwannendo ni ŵanyamwe mwambochele mmajumba genu.
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
Naliji matakope, ŵanyamwe mwandakwisye ni naliji jwakulwala ŵanyamwe mwaaiche kukuunola ni naliji jwantawe ŵanyamwe mwanyimajimile.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
Pelepo, ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu chiŵajanje mwenye kuti, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twambweni ŵa sala ni kumpa chakulya, pane jinkwete njota ni kung'wesya meesi?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
Ana chakachi twammweni nli jwannendo ni kumpochela, pane matakope ni kuntakusya?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
Chakachi twammweni ndi nkulwala pane jwantawe ni kwika kukunnola?’
40 “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Mwenye chiŵajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, chachilichose chimwantendele jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achalongo ŵangu achanandi, mwandendele une.’
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
“Nipele chiŵasalile ŵele ŵaali kunchiji kwao, ‘Ntyoche mmbujo mwangu ŵanyamwe ŵankwete malweso! Njaule ku mooto moŵa gose pangali mbesi wangasimika, wauŵichikwe chile kwa ligongo lya Shetani ni achikatumetume ŵakwe. (aiōnios g166)
42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
Pakuŵa jangwete sala nganimumba chakulya, jangwete njota nganimumba meesi.
43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
Naliji jwannendo nganimumbochela mmajumba genu ni panaliji matakope nganimumba nguo ni nalwalaga ni nataŵikwe nganinnyika kukulola.’
44 “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 didn’t help you?’
“Pelepo nombe chajanje, ‘Ambuje, ana chakachi twammweni ndi jinkwete sala ni njota, ni ndi jwannendo pane matakope, ni ndi nkulwala pane jwantaŵikwe, nowe nganitunkamusya?’
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’
Mwenye chajanje, ‘Ngunsalila isyene, kila pamwakanaga kumpanganichisya gelega jumo jwa ŵanyaŵa achanandi ŵa, mwakanile kuumbanganichisya une.’
