Matthew 25
1 Mu lumbu kina, Kipfumu ki Diyilu kiela dedakana banga kumi di bandumba bobo zisi zaba nitu yi babakala ko babonga minda miawu mu kuenda dengana ditoko di makuela.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 Mu bawu mu ba bandumba zitanu ziba bivulu, zitanu ziba nduenga.
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 Bivulu bibonga minda miawu vayi basi nata mafuta ko.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 Vayi bobo baba nduenga babonga mintutu miawu mi mafuta ayi minda miawu.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Sumbu bakala di makuela kazingila mu kuiza, buna bawu boso baniungina ayi baleka tulu.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Va midi mi phipa, mbembo yiyamikina: “Tala, ditoko di makuela wizidi! Yenda lundengana.”
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Buna bandumba zioso zikotuka ayi zitona kubika minda miawu.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Buna bandumba ziosi zi bivulu zikamba kuidi ziozi ziba nduenga: “Lutuvananu ndambu yi mafuta meno, bila minda mieto mieka nzima!”
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 Vayi ziozi ziba nduenga ziba vutudila: “Yilendi fuana kuidi beto ayi beno ko. Mboti luenda sumbi mafuta meno veka kuidi bobo beti sumbisa mafuta.”
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 Vayi bu bayenda ku sumba, ditoko di makuela diyiza. Bobo baba bakubama bakota yandi mu nzo yi nyengo ayi muelo wuzibama.
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 Ku nzimunina, bandumba bankaka bayiza, zituba: “Pfumu, Pfumu, wutuzibudila.”
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Mfunu wuba vutudila: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba, ndisi ku luzaba ko.”
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Diawu luzibula meso bila lusi zaba ko lumbu ayi thangu.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 Kiela dedakana banga mutu wumosi wukubama mu vanga nzietolo. Wutela bisadi biandi ayi wuba vana bima biandi.
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 Wuvana kuidi mutu wutheti bitalanta bitanu; kuidi wunkaka bibiodi. Bosi kuidi wuntatu talanta kimosi. Wuvanina buawu kuidi kadika mutu boso bu kalenda sadila mu diela diandi. Buna mutu beni wuyenda kuandi.
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 Mutu wowo wutambula bitalanta bitanu wuyenda tumbu sadila biawu mukhita ayi wuyiza baka bitanu diaka va yilu.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
17 Mutu wowo wutambula bitalanta biodi mamvandi wuvanga buawu; bosi wuyiza baka bitalanta biodi diaka va yilu.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 Vayi mutu wowo wutambula talanta kimosi, wuyenda kaba dibulu mu tsi ntoto ayi wusueka zimbongo zi pfumuꞌandi.
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 Bilumbu biwombo bu bivioka, pfumu yi bisadi beni wuvutuka mu nzietolo andi ayi wuyuvula kadika mutu kamvumbudila kipholo mu phila yi kasadidi.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 Mutu wowo wutambula bitalanta bitanu wuyiza ayi wumvana bitalanta bitanu binkaka. Wukamba pfumuꞌandi: “Pfumuꞌama ngeyo wuphana bitalanta bitanu, tala bitanu diaka ndibeki va yilu.”
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 Pfumuꞌandi wuvutula: “widi kisadi kimboti ayi kikuikama. Ngeyo wubedi wukuikama mu bima bifioti. Diawu ndieka kuvana minsua mu bima biwombo. Yiza moni khini va kimosi ayi Pfumu aku.”
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 Mutu wowo wutambula bitalanta biodi wuyiza ayi wutuba: “Pfumu ngeyo wuphana bitalanta biodi, tala, bi biodi diaka ndibeki va mbata.”
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 Pfumuꞌandi wunkamba: “widi kisadi kimboti ayi kikuikama. Ngeyo wubedi wukuikama mu bima bifioti. Diawu ndieka kuvana minsua mu bima biwombo. Yiza moni khini va kimosi ayi Pfumu aku.”
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 Bosi mutu wowo wutambula talanta kimosi wuyiza ayi wutuba: “Pfumu, ndizaba ti ngeyo widi mutu wumosi wu phasi bila weti vela mimbutu mu biobi wusia kuna ko ayi wuntotanga bima biobi ka wusia kuna ko.
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 Ndimueni boma, diawu ndiyenda suekila talanta kiaku ku tsi ntoto. Tala, tambula talanta kiaku.”
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
26 Pfumuꞌandi wumvutudila: “widi kisadi kimbimbi ayi kibolo! Zebi ti ndimvelanga mimbutu mu biobi ndisia kuna ko ayi ndintotanga bima biobi ndisia kuna.
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 Vayi nganu wutula zimbongo ziama ku banki mu diambu mu lumbu ndiela vutuka; nditambula zimbongo ziama ayi ndandu va yilu.
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 Lunziona talanta kioki ayi luvana kiawu kuidi mutu wowo widi kumi di bitalanta.”
Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
29 Bila bela buela vana kuidi woso mutu widi bima ayi wela baka biwombo. Vayi kuidi woso mutu kambulu bela kunziona ka diambu ko biobi bidi yandi.
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 Luloza kisadi kikondolo mfunu ku nganda kuidi tombi, kuna kuidi bidilu ayi nkuetoso wu meno.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 —Mu thangu Muana Mutu kela kuiza mu nkembo andi va kimosi ayi zimbasi zioso, wela vuanda va Kundu kiandi ki nkembo.
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 Batu boso badi va ntoto bela kutakana va ntualꞌandi. Wela vasa batu banga bumvasilanga nsungi mamemi ayi zikhombo.
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 Wela tula mamemi ku koko kuandi ku lubakala bosi zikhombo ku koko kuandi ku lumoso.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Buna Ntinu wela kamba kuidi bobo bela ba ku koko kuandi ku lubakala: “Beno lusakumunu kuidi Dise diama, yizanu; tambulanu kiuka, Kipfumu kioki balukubikila tona vana va vangulu nza.
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 Bila bu ndiba nzala, luphana bidia; bu ndiba phuila beno lunduikina, bu ndiba nzenza, luthambula,
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 bu ndikambu minledi mivuata, luphuika; bu ndiba kimbevo, luyiza kuthala; bu ndiba mu nloko, luyiza kuthala!”
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Vayi batu basonga bela kumvutudila: “A Pfumu! Thangu mbi tumona wumfua nzala vayi tuvana bidia e? Thangu mbi tumuena wuba phuila vayi tunuikina e?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 A thangu mbi wubela nzenza vayi beto tutambula e? Voti thangu wukambulu minledi ayi beto tuvuika e?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
39 A thangu mbi wubela kimbevo voti mu nloko buna beto tuyiza kutala e?”
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 Vayi ntinu wela kuba vutudila: “Bukiedika ndikulukamba: yoso khumbu luvanga bobo, kuidi bakhomba ziama ziazi zikambulu mfunu, buna kuidi minu kuandi luvangidi buawu.”
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 Bosi wela tuba kuidi bobo bela ba ku koko kuandi ku lumoso, “Botukanu va meso mama, luidi batu basingu; yendanu ku mbazu yoyo ka yizimanga ko, yoyo yikubuku mu diambu di Satana ayi zimbasi ziandi. (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 Bila bu ndiba nzala, lusia kuphana bidia ko; bu ndiba phuila lusia kunduikina ko;
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 bu ndiba nzenza, lusia kuthambula ko; bu ndikambu minledi lusia kuphuika ko; bu ndiba kimbevo ayi ndiba mu nloko lusia kuiza kuthala ko!”
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 Buna bawu bela kumvutudila: “A Pfumu! A thangu mbi tumona ti wumfua nzala voti phuila, voti wuba nzenza, wukambu minledi, wuba kimbevo voti mu nloko vayi tumanga kusadisa?”
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 Vayi niandi wela kuba vutudila: “Yoso khumbu lusia buvanga ko kuidi batu baba bakambulu mfunu buna kuidi minu kuandi luvangila buawu.”
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.
