Matayu 25
1 “Shipindi ashi Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana hangu. Kuweriti na walii lilongu yawatoliti koloboyi zawu na wagenditi kumwanka mpalu gwa ndowa.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 Wamuhanu wamu waweriti na mahala na wamuhanu wamonga waweriti wazigizigi.
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 Wazigizigi walii watoliti koloboyi zyawu pota kutola mafuta ga motu ga shigubukiru.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 Kumbiti wanaluhala walii watoliti mafuta ga motu gatosha msupa zyawu.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Mpalu gwa ndowa kakawiti kwiza, su walii woseri wanjiti kusizira na wagonjiti.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “Paiweriti kala lugonu kuweriti mashowanganu, ‘Aya aya mpalu gwa ndowa! Mgendi mwakamwanki!’
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Walii lilongu walii wimuka na wazitandira koloboyi zyawu.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Shakapanu wazigizigi walii wawagambira wanaluhala walii, ‘Mtupungulili mafuta ga motu, toziya koloboyi zya twenga zankugenda kutenda tiya.’
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 Wanaluhala walii wawankula, ‘Ndala, toziya mafuta ga motu gatutosha ndiri twenga pamuhera na mwenga. Mgendi kuvikolija mwakahemeri maweni.’
But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Su walii wazigizigi walii pawagenditi kuhemera mafuta ga motu, mpalu gwa ndowa kasoka. Na walii wamuhanu walii yawaweriti kala wingiriti pamuhera na mpalu gwa ndowa mnumba ya msambu na shakapanu mlyangu gutatwa.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 “Shakapanu walii wamonga walii wawuya. Su womberi wabotanga, ‘Mtuwa, mtuwa! Gutuvuguliri mlyangu!’
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Nayomberi hakawankuli, ‘Ndala, nuwamana ndiri mwenga!’”
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Na Yesu kamalaliriti kwa kutakula, “Mlikali weri, toziya muvimana ndiri lishaka ama lisaa.”
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 “Shipindi shilii Ufalumi wa Mlungu haulifani hangu. Kweniti muntu yumu yakafiriti kugenda mwanja, kawashema wantumintumi wakuwi na kawatula waloleri ulunda wakuwi.
For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 Kamupiti kila muntu kulawirana na uwezu wakuwi, yumu kamupiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya na yumonga kamupiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya na yumonga kamupiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya. Su kawuka kagenda mwanja.
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Ntumintumi yakawankiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya kazitendera lihengu mpiya zilii kapata mota mihaku muhanu imonga.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
17 Ntambu iraa ayi ntumintumi yakawankiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya kapatiti mota mihaku imonga miwili ya mpiya.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 Kumbiti ntumini yakawankiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya kagutula, kagenda kabawa lirindi mulitapaka, kazififa mpiya zya Mtuwa gwakuwi.
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 “Pashipindi shivuwa mtuwa gwa wantumintumi woseri kawuyiti na kutenda mawalanga pamuhera nawomberi.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 Ntumintumi yakatoliti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya kiza kajega mihaku imonga ya mpiya. Kalonga, ‘Mtuwa guloli!’ Gunupiti mihaku muhanu ya mpiya, panu kwana mihaku muhanu imonga yaiyongelekiti.
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 Mtuwa kalonga, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwamuheri na ntumintumi gwaminika! Guwera mwaminika mushitwatira shididiki, su hanikutuli guloleri vitwatira vikulu. Gwizi tunemeleli pamuhera!’
His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 “Shakapanu ntumini yakawankiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya kiziti na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, gunupiti mihaku miwili ya mpiya. Guloli! Panu pana mihaku miwili imonga yaiyongelekiti.’
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 Mtuwa gwakuwi kalonga, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwamuheri na ntumintumi mwaminika!’ Gwenga gwaminika mushitwatila shididiki, hanukutuli guloleri vitwatira vikulu. Gwizi panu tunemeleli pamuhera!
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 “Shakapanu ntumintumi yakawankiti muhaku gumu gwa mpiya kiza na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, nuvimana kuwera gwenga gwa muntu gukalipa, gubena shilii shaguyala ndiri na gujonjonira vyagukwetiti ndiri.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 Ntiriti, su ng'enditi na nugufifa muhaku gwa mpiya zyaku.’
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
26 “Mtuwa gwakuwi kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi mdoda na mleri! Guvimana handa neni mbena pota na kuyala na njojinira pota na kukweta.
His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Sawa, ifiruwitwi gutuli mpiya ya neni mubenki na neni mentoliti mpiya zyangu pamuhera na mbotu yakuwi!
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Vinu, mumpoki mpiya azi mumpanani ulii yakana mihaku lilongu ya mpiya.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
29 Toziya muntu yoseri yakawera na shintu hawamupanani na kumwongera, kumbiti ulii yakahera shintu, ata shididini shilii shakaweriti nashu hawampoki.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 Na kuusu ntumintumi ulii yakahera mana, mumwasi kunja muntiti, aku hakalili na kuyagaya menu gakuwi.’”
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 “Mwana gwa Muntu ndomweni Mfalumi pakiza muukwisa wakuwi pamuhera na wantumintumi wa kumpindi wakuwi wananagala, hakalivagi mushibanta shakuwi sha shifalumi muukwisa wakuwi.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 Wantu wa isi zoseri hawajojiniki kulongolu kwakuwi. Na yomberi hakawatuli muvipinga viwili, gambira mlolera mifugu ntambu yakawatulaga gweka wakondolu kulawa mushipinga sha wambuzi.
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
33 Hakawatuli wantu yawatenda ntambu yakafiriti Mlungu uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu na yawatenditi vidoda uwega wakuwi wa kumshigi.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Shakapanu Mfalumi hakawagambiri wantu walii wa uwega wakuwi wa kumliwu, Mwizi, mwenga mtekeleritwi na Tati gwangu! Mwizi na muwuwanki ufalumi yawakutandirani kwanjira pakunyawa pasipanu.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 Pahweriti na njala mwenga munupiti shiboga, panyumuluwiti mwenga mnupiti mashi, nweriti muhenga mwenga mshemera ukaya kwenu,
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 nweriti shivula hera munvalasiya, nweriti ndwala mwenga munwaziya, nweriti wantatira mushibetubetu mwenga mwiza kutyangira.”
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 “Shakapanu wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu hamwankuli, ‘Mtuwa, tukuwona koshi gwana njala na twenga tukupiti shiboga, ama guweriti guyumuluwa na twenga tukulandasiya mashi?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Ndii tukuwoniti gwamuhenga na twenga tukushemera ukaya, ama gwashivula na twenga tukuvalasiya?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
39 Tukuwoniti ndii gulwala ama gwamushibetubetu na twenga twiza kukulola?’
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 Mfalumi hakawankuli, ‘Nukugambirani nakaka, kila shintu shammutendiriti yumu gwa wapusu wangu awa muntendera neni!’
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
41 “Shakapanu hakawagambiri walii yawaweriti uwega wa kumshigi, ‘Muwuki kulongolu kwa neni, mwenga mpangirwiti na Mlungu! Mgendi mumotu gwa gutenda tiya ndiri gwawamtandiriti Shetani na wantumintumi wakuwi! (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 Nweriti na njala, mwenga mnupa ndiri shiboga, nweriti nyumluwa, mwenga mnupa ndiri mashi.
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 Nweriti namuhenga, mwenga munshemiriti ndiri ukaya kwenu, nweriti shivula hera, mwenga munvalasiya ndiri, nweriti ndwaliti na wantatira mushibetubetu, mwenga mwiza ndiri kuntyangira.’
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 “Shakapanu wamwankula, ‘Ndii, Mtuwa, tukuwoniti gwana njala ama guyumluwa, na gwamuhenga ama gwashivula ama gulwala ama gwamushibetubetu, na twenga twiza ndiri kukutanga?’
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Mfalumi hakawankuli, ‘Nuwagambirani, kila pamlemiti kumtanga yumu gwa wapusu awa, mlemiti kuntanga neni.’
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
