Mateo 25
1 Orduan comparaturen da ceruètaco resumá hamar virgina bere lampác harturic sposoaren aitzinera ilki diradenequin:
[Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
2 Eta hetaric borçac ciraden çuhur, eta borçac erho.
Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
3 Erhoéc, bere lampén hartzean, etzeçaten har olioric berequin.
The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
4 Baina çuhurréc har ceçaten olio bere vncietan bere lampequin.
But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
5 Eta nola sposoac ethortera berancen baitzuen, guciac logale citecen, eta loac har citzan.
The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
6 Eta gau-herditan oihu eguin cedin, Huná, sposoa heldu da, ilki çaitezte haren aitzinera.
In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
7 Orduan iaiqui citecen virgina hec guciac, eta appain citzaten bere lampác.
So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
8 Eta erhoéc çuhurrey erran ciecén, Iguçue çuen oliotic: ecen gure lampác iraunguiten dirade.
The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
9 Baina ihardets ceçaten çuhurrec, cioitela, Ez, beldurrez asco eztugun gure eta çuen: baina aitzitic çoazte saltzen dutenetara, eta erossaçue ceurondaco.
The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
10 Eta hec erostera ioaiten ciradela, ethor cedin sposoa: eta prest ciradenac sar citecen harequin ezteyetara, eta erts cedin borthá.
But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
11 Guero bada ethorten dirade berce virginac-ere dioitela, Iauna, iauna, irequi ieçaguc.
Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
12 Baina harc ihardesten duela, dio, Eguiaz diotsuet, etzaituztet eçagutzen.
But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
13 Veilla eçaçue bada: ecen eztaquiçue guiçonaren Semea ethorriren den eguna ez orena.
[Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
14 Ecen gauça haur guiçombat beçala da, ceinec lekorerat ioaitean dei baitzitzan bere cerbitzariac, eta bere onac eman baitzietzén.
“[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
15 Eta batari eman cietzón borz talent, eta berceari biga, eta berceari bat: batbederari bere anciaren araura: eta ioan cedin lekorrerat bertan.
He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
16 Eta ioan cedin borz talentac recebitu cituena, eta traffica ceçan heçaz, eta eguin citzan berce borz talent.
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
17 Halaber biga recebitu cituenac-ere, irabaz citzan berce biga.
Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
18 Baina bat recebitu çuenac ioanic aitzur ceçan lurrean, eta gorde ceçan bere nabussiaren diruä.
But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
19 Eta dembora handiaren buruän ethorten da cerbitzari hayén nabussia, eta contu eguiten du hequin.
After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
20 Orduan ethorriric borz talentac recebitu cituenac presenta cietzón berce borz talent, cioela, Nabussiá, borz talent eman drauzquidac, huná, berce borz talent irabaci citiat heçaz.
The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
21 Erran cieçón bere nabussiac, Vngui, cerbitzari oná eta leyalá: gauça gutian içan aiz leyal, anhitzaren gaineco eçarriren aut: sar adi eure nabussiaren alegrançan.
His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
22 Guero ethorriric bi talentac recebitu cituenac-ere diotsa, Nabussiá, bi talent eman drauzquidac, huná, berce biga irabaci citiat heçaz.
The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
23 Erran cieçón bere nabussiac, Vngui, cerbitzari oná eta leyalá, gutiaren gainean içan aiz leyal, anhitzaren gaineco eçarriren aut: sar adi eure nabussiaren alegrançán.
His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
24 Baina ethorriric talentbat recebitu çuenac-ere diotsa, Nabussiá, eçagutzen nián ecen guiçon gogorra incela, erein eztuán lekuan biltzen duala, eta barreyatu eztuán lekuan elkarganatzen duala.
Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
25 Hunegatic beldurrez ioanic gorde diát hire talenta lurrean: huná, baduc eurea.
So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
26 Eta ihardesten çuela bere nabussiac erran cieçón, Cerbitzari gaichtoá eta lachoá, bahaquian ecen biltzen dudala erein eztudan lekuan: eta elkarganatzen dudala barreyatu eztudan lekuan.
His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
27 Beraz behar erauèn eman ene diruä cambiadorey, eta ethorriric nic recebitu bainuqueen neurea lucururequin.
So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
28 Edequi eçoçue bada huni talenta, eta emoçue hamar talentac dituenari.
[Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
29 Ecen duen guciari emanen çayó, eta hambat guehiago vkanen du: baina deus eztuenari, duena-ere edequiren çayó.
To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
30 Eta cerbitzari alferra egotzaçue lekoreco ilhunbera: han içanen da nigar eta hortz garrascots.
Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
31 Bada guiçonaren Semea dathorrenean bere glorián, eta Aingueru saindu guciac harequin, orduan iarriren da bere gloriaren thronoan.
“When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
32 Eta bilduren dirade haren aitzinera natione guciac, eta bereciren ditu batac bercetaric, artzainac ardiac akerretaric beretzen dituen beçala.
People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
33 Eta eçarriren ditu ardiac bere escuinean, eta akerrac bere ezquerrean.
I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
34 Orduan erranen draue Reguec bere escuinecoey Çatozte ene Aitaren benedicatuác, hereta eçaçue munduaren fundationetic preparatu çaiçuen resumá.
Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
35 Ecen gosse içan naiz eta eman drautaçue iatera: egarri içan naiz, eta eman drautaçue edatera: arrotz nincen, eta recebitu nauçue,
[They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
36 Billuci, eta veztitu nauçue: eri, eta visitatu nauçue: presoindeguian nincén, eta enegana ethorri içan çarete.
When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
37 Orduan ihardetsiren draucate iustoéc, dioitela, Iauna, noiz ikussi augu gosseric, eta bazcatu augu: edo egarriric eta edatera eman drauagu?
Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
38 Eta noiz ikussi augu arrotz, eta recebitu augu? edo billuci, eta veztitu augu?
When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
39 Edo noiz ikussi augu eri, edo presoindeguian eta ethorri gara hiregana?
When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
40 Eta ihardesten duela Reguec erranen draue, Eguiaz diotsuet, ene anaye chipién hautaric bati eguin draucaçuen becembatean niri eguin drautaçue:
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
41 Orduan erranen draue ezquerrecoy-ere, Maradicatuác, parti çaitezte eneganic seculaco sura, deabruari eta haren aingueruèy preparaturic dauenera. (aiōnios g166)
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
42 Ecen gosse içan naiz, eta eztrautaçue eman iatera: egarri içan naiz, eta eztrautaçue eman edatera.
[It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
43 Arrotz nincén, eta eznauçue recebitu: billuci, eta eznauçue veztitu: eri eta presoindeguian, eta eznauçue visitatu.
You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
44 Orduan hec-ere ihardetsiren draucate, erraiten dutela, Iauna, noiz ikussi augu gosse edo egarri, edo arrotz, edo billuci, edo eri, edo presoindeguian, eta ezaugu cerbitzatu?
They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
45 Orduan ihardetsiren draue, erraiten duela, Eguiaz diotsuet chipien hautaric bati eguin eztraucaçuen becembatean, niri-ere eztrautaçue eguin.
I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
