Matiyu 25
1 Kipin tigo Kutelle masin nafo abura kulidi alenge na iwa yiru ti pitilla i nya udun di zuru nin kwanyana nkifu kudan.
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 An wa taun nanya mine wa di alalang, an wa taun yita jijing.
Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
3 Kube na abura alalangye wa yiru tipitilla mine na iwa yaun nmon nuf ugang ba;
The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
4 Inung abura ajijingye wa min amon abo nnuf ugang.
while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
5 Nene na kwanyana kifu kudangye wa molu kubi, vat mine gbishizino i tunna nmoro.
As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
6 Nanya kiitik kitik, ilanza ntet, yeneng, kwanyana nkifu kudangye! Nuzun udas idi zuro nangye.'
But at midnight a shout was raised – ‘The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7 Abura ane tunna ifita vat i ngaatizina tila tipilla mine.
Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
8 Alalangye woro na jijijngye, fulonnari nnuf mine bara tipitila bite din cinu ubicu.'
and the foolish said to the prudent ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 Inung ajijigye kawa nani i woro, Tidin yenju na mima batiinu nari ligowe na ghinu ba, nbara na can kiti nanan lessu idi seru min mine.
But the prudent ones answered ‘No, There may not be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy for yourselves.’
10 Na inuzu ucin dun di serue, kwanyanan kifu kudane da, inung alenge na iwa di nin nimon mine vat pira kitin teru nilugme nan gye,
But while they were on their way to buy it, the groom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.
11 kimal nane inung aleli abura da iworo, Cikilari, Cikilari, puno nari kibulung.'
Afterward the other bridesmaids came. ‘Sir, Sir,’ they said, ‘open the door to us!’
12 Akpana a woro, 'kidegenere ndin bellu minu, na nyiru minu ba.
But the groom answered ‘I tell you, I do not know you.’
13 Sun uca bara na i yiru lirei sa kubi nsame ba.
Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Umasin nafo kube na unit din cinu ucindu imon nmin; ayicila a cinme a kosso nani imon nacara me.
“For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
15 Umong anagye ti talents ti taun, umong anagye iba, umong tutung anagye tirum, kogha aw nigye cot nin likara m, anin nya udun cinme.
He gave five bags of gold to one, two to another, and one bag to a third, in proportion to the ability of each. Then he set out on his travels.
16 Na nin molu kubi ba, unan nitaune nya, adi kpliza acara mun, ase imon itaun kitene.
The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
17 Nanere wang ame ulenge na awa seru iba wase imon iba kitene.
So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
18 Ame ulenge na awa seru firume wa nyagye, adi wuzu kuwu nanya kutii, a nyeshe ikurfun ncikilari me ku.
But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 Na kubi nkata gbardang cikilari na cin ane kpilla, ada batiza ikurfun me nan ghinu.
After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
20 Kucin kongo na kuwa seru itaun da ada kurtuno imon itaun kitene; a woro, cikilari, uwa nii ti talents ti taun. Yene, nna se ukpinu nimon itaun kitene.
The servant who had received the five bags of gold came up and brought five bags more. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold; look, I have made another five bags!’
21 Cikilari me worogye, gaja kang nin katwa, kucin kugegeme nin lidu licine! Usu lidu licine nanya nimon cing. Meng ma tifin yenju nimon gbardang. Pira nanya liburi libo ncikilarife.
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
22 Kucin kongo na kuwa seru iba da ada woro. 'Cikilari, uwa nii iba. Yene, nse ukpinu nton ti talents tiba kitene!
Then the one who had received the two bags of gold came up and said ‘Sir, you entrusted me with two bags pounds; look, I have made another two!’
23 Cikilari me worogye, 'gaja kang ni katwa, kucin kugegeme nin lidu licine! Usu lidu licine nanya nimon cing. Meng ma tifi uyenje imon gbardang. Pira nanya liburi libo Ncikilari fe.
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
24 Kunin kucing kongo na kuwa seru firum da ada woro. 'Cikilari. Men yiru fe unit ulenge na idin kpilizu fi ba: udin pitiru kiti kanga na ubilisa ku ba, udin bassu kiti kanga na ukpewu ku ba.
The man who had received the single bag of gold came up, too, and said ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;
25 Meng wa lanza fiu, nmini wa do ndi nyeshe fi talent fe nanya kutyen. Yene, kutura fe kongo.
and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!’
26 Cikilari me kawa aworogye, fe kucin nla liburi ni kugballa, fe yiru ndin pitiru bkiti kanga na nna bilissu ku ba nbassa ki kanga na nna npui ku ba.
‘You lazy, worthless servant!’ was his master’s reply. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather up where I have not winnowed?
27 Uwanani ukpilizu nacara nin nikurfu, kubin sa nigye nwa seru ikurfun nigye nin nmyen kitene.
Then you ought to have placed my money in the hands of bankers, and I, on my return, should have received my money, with interest.
28 Bara nani seren fi talente kitime ini ulenge na adi nin ti talents kulidei.
Therefore,’ he continued, ‘take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
29 Vat nle na adi ni nimon, ima kpingye ku gbardan. Ame ulenge na adu mun ba, ilenge na adumune wang ima seru.
For, to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but, as for him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 Gbudulnong inin tecu kucin kuhem kone i filing nanya nsirti mi bibit, kikanga na ama su kuculu nin nyakku nayini ku.
As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
31 Kubi kongo na Usaun Nnit ma sa nanya ngongong ligowe nin nono kadura me, ama so kutet ngongong tigo me.
“When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory;
32 Ima nin pitirunu anit timyin timyin vat nbun me, ama nin wucu anite ngangaang, nafo na unan libya asa akoso akam nanya niyiin.
and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
33 Ama ciu akame ncara ulime me, a niyine ncara ugule.
placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Ame Ugowe mani nin woru na lenge na idin cara ulime me, Daan, anung anan mmari Ncifning, leon ugadu kipin tigo kanga na iwa kyeminu mun, nworu kubi ntunun nyii.
Then the king will say to those on his right ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter into possession of the kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.
35 Bara na nwadi nin kukpon, inayi imonli; Nwadi nin kotu nayi inayi nmyen nsonu; Nwadi limari ipiri kutii;
For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes;
36 Nwadi fisere, ishoni imon; Nwadi nin konu ida lissai; in yita licin ida kitinigye.
when I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.’
37 Inung anan katwa kacine ma kawu i woro, 'Cikilari, ninshiyari tiwa yenefi nin kukpong tinafi imolin? Sa nin kotu nayi tinafi nmyen?
Then the righteous will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 Sa inweri tina yenefi limara, tinafi kutii? Sa fisere tishonfi imon?
When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
39 Sa nishirari tina yenefi nin konu, sa licin tida kitife?
When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?’
40 Ame Ugawe ma kawu aworo nani. Kidegenere idin bellu minu, imon irika na ina su unit urum nanya na bebene linuananing, myeri ina sui.
And the king will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my brothers or sisters, however unimportant they seemed, you did it to me.’
41 Ama woru alenge na idin cara ugule me, cancanan kuponing, anung anan tin nnu, pira nanya nla sa ligan ulenge na ina kye unin bara shintan ku nin nanan kadura me, (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say to those on his left ‘Go from my presence, accursed, into the permanent fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 bara na nwadi nin kukpon na inayi imonli ba; Nwadi nin kotu nayi na inayi nmyen ba.
For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
43 Nwadi limari na ipiri kutii ba; fisere na ishoni imon ba; nin konu a kutii licin, na ida lissai ba.
when I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.’
44 Inung wang ma kawu iworo, 'Cikilari, tiwa yenefi nweri nin kukpon, sa nin kotu nayi, sa limara, sa fisere, sa nin konu, sa kutii licin na tisufi imonmong ba?'
Then they, in their turn, will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?’
45 Ame manin kawu nani awor, 'kidegen idin bellu minu, bara na ina su ko unit urum nanya nabebene alele imon irum nanya ni lenge imone ba, myeri na ina sui ba'.
And then he will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however unimportant, you failed to do it to me.’
