Matthew 25
1 'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
Se konsa, nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la se va tankou istwa dis jennfi ki pran lanp yo, ki soti al kontre msye marye a.
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
Senk nan yo te tèt chaje, senk lòt yo te gen bon konprann.
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
Tèt chaje yo te pran lanp yo ase. Yo pa t' pote gaz an rezèv.
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
Men sa ki te gen bon konprann yo te pote yon boutèy plen gaz ansanm ak lanp yo.
5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
Pandan yo t'ap tann msye marye a ki te an reta, yo tout pran kabicha, dòmi vòlò yo.
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
Nan mitan lannwit lan, yon rèl pati: Men msye marye a. Ann al kontre li.
7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
Dis jennfi yo leve, yo pran pare lanp yo.
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
Tèt chaje yo mande sak gen bon konprann yo: Tanpri, ban nou ti gout nan gaz nou pote a, paske lanp pa nou yo ap mouri.
9 and the prudent answered, saying — Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.
Men, senk ki te gen bon konprann yo reponn: Non, nou pa kapab, paske pa gen ase pou nou tout. Pito n' al achte nan men machann yo.
10 'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;
Antan tèt chaje yo al achte gaz la, msye marye a vin rive. Senk jennfi ki te pare yo antre ansanm avè l' nan kay nòs la. Yo fèmen pòt la dèyè yo.
11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
Pita, lòt jennfi yo vin rive, yo di konsa: Mèt, Mèt, louvri pou nou.
12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
Men msye marye a reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: m' pa konnen nou.
13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske, nou pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive.
14 'For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
Vwala, se va tankou yon nonm ki tapral pati pou yon vwayaj. Li rele domestik li yo, li mete yo reskonsab byen li yo.
15 and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
Li bay yonn senkmil (5.000) goud, li bay yon lòt demil (2.000) goud, li bay yon twazyèm mil (1.000) goud. Konsa li bay yo chak dapre sa l' konnen yo ka fè. Lèfini, li pati.
16 'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
Lamenm, domestik ki te resevwa senkmil (5.000) goud la al fè lajan an travay. Li rapòte l' senkmil (5.000) goud benefis.
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
Konsa tou, domestik ki te resevwa demil (2.000) goud la fè demil (2.000) goud benefis.
18 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Sa ki te resevwa mil (1.000) goud la menm ale, li fouye yon twou nan tè, li sere lajan mèt la.
19 'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
Lontan apre sa, mèt domestik yo tounen, li pran fè regleman ak yo.
20 and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, 'Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.
Domestik ki te resevwa senkmil goud la pwoche, li pote senkmil goud benefis la ba li, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen senkmil goud. Men senkmil goud benefis mwen fè.
21 'And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè toujou. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
22 'And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them.
Domestik ki te resevwa demil goud la pwoche apre sa, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen demil goud, men demil goud benefis mwen fè.
23 'His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè ankò. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
24 'And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;
Apre sa, domestik ki te resevwa sèlman mil goud la pwoche, li di: Mèt, mwen konnen ou se yon nonm ki di. Ou rekolte kote ou pa t' simen, ou ranmase kote ou pa t' plante.
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
Mwen te pè, se sak fè mwen te al sere mil goud ou a anba tè. Men, pran lajan ou.
26 'And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!
Mèt la reponn li: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik, ou parese konsa! Ou te konnen mwen rekolte kote mwen pa t' simen, mwen ranmase kote mwen pa t' plante.
27 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
Enben, se pou ou te mete lajan m' labank. Lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete manman lajan an ak yon enterè sou li.
28 'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
Wete mil goud la nan men l', pran l' bay sa ki gen dimil (10.000) goud la.
29 for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;
Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; konsa la gen depase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
30 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Kanta domestik ki pa vo anyen an, jete l' deyò nan fènwa a. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.
31 'And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;
Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini nan tout bèl pouvwa li ak tout zanj li yo, la chita sou fotèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li.
32 and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,
Tout nasyon ki sou latè va sanble devan li. Lè sa a, la separe yo fè de gwoup, menm jan moun k'ap gade mouton mete mouton yon bò, kabrit yon bò.
33 and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
La mete mouton yo sou bò dwat li, kabrit yo sou bò gòch li.
34 'Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Apre sa, wa a va pale ak sa ki sou bò dwat li yo, la di: Vini non, nou menm ki resevwa benediksyon Papa m', vin pran posesyon peyi ki te pare pou nou depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye lemonn lan.
35 for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;
Mwen te grangou, nou ban m' manje; mwen te swaf dlo, nou ban m' bwè. Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou te resevwa m' lakay nou.
36 naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
Mwen te toutouni, nou te ban m' rad. Mwen te malad, nou pran swen m'; mwen te nan prizon, nou vin wè mwen.
37 'Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
Lè sa a, moun ki te fè byen yo va reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou pou n' te ba ou manje? Kilè nou te wè ou swaf dlo pou nou te ba ou bwè?
38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
Kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, pou nou te resevwa ou lakay nou? Osinon toutouni, pou n' te ba ou rad?
39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
Kilè nou te wè ou malad, osinon nan prizon, pou n' te al wè ou?
40 'And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren — the least — to me ye did [it].
Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou te fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti pami frè m' yo, se pou mwen nou te fè li.
41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
Apre sa, la pale avèk sa ki sou bò gòch li yo, la di: Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm ki gen madichon! Al nan dife ki p'ap janm mouri an, dife ki te pare pou dyab la ak zanj li yo. (aiōnios g166)
42 for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
Mwen te grangou, nou pa t' ban m' manje, mwen te swaf dlo, nou pa t' ban m' bwè.
43 a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.
Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou pa t' resevwa m' lakay nou. Mwen te toutouni, nou pa t' ban m' anyen pou mwen te mete sou mwen. Mwen te malad, mwen te nan prizon, nou pa t' vin wè mwen.
44 'Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?
Lè sa a, y'a reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou, osinon swaf dlo, kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, osinon toutouni, kilè nou te wè ou malad osinon nan prizon, jouk pou nou pa t' ba ou lasistans?
45 'Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of these, the least, ye did [it] not to me.
Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou pa t' fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti sa yo, se pou mwen nou pa t' fè li.
