Matthew 25
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Ndipo ufalme wa mbinguni utafananishwa na wanawali kumi waliochukua taa zao na kuondoka kwenda kumpokea bwana harusi.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Watano miongoni mwao walikuwa wapumbavu na watano wengine walikuwa werevu.
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
Wanawali wapumbavu walipochukua taa zao, hawakuchukua mafuta yoyote.
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Bali wanawali welevu walichukua vyombo vyenye mafuta pamoja na taa zao.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Sasa wakati bwana harusi amechelewa kufika, wote walishikwa usingizi na wakalala.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
Lakini wakati wa usiku wa manane kulikuwa na yowe, 'Tazama, bwana harusi! Tokeni nje mkampokee.'
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Ndipo hao wanawali waliamka wote na kuwasha taa zao.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Wale wapumbavu waliwaambia wale welevu, 'Mtupatie sehemu ya mafuta yenu kwa sababu taa zetu zinazimika.'
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
Lakini wale welevu waliwajibu na kuwaambia, 'Kwa kuwa hayatatutosha sisi na ninyi, badala yake nendeni kwa wanaouza mjinunulie kiasi kwa ajili yenu.'
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
Wakati wameenda huko kununua, Bwana harusi alifika, na wote waliokuwa tayari walienda naye kwenye sherehe ya harusi, na mlango ulifungwa.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
Baadaye wale wanawali wengine pia walifika na kusema, 'Bwana, bwana, tufungulie.'
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
Lakini alijibu na kusema, 'Kweli nawaambia, Mimi siwajui.'
13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Kwa hiyo angalieni, kwa kuwa hamjui siku au saa.
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
Kwa kuwa ni sawa na mtu alipotaka kusafiri kwenda nchi nyingine. Aliwaita watumwa wake na kuwakabidhi utajiri wake.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
Mmoja wao alimpatia talanta tano, mwingine alimpa mbili, na yule mwingine alimpa talanta moja. Kila mmoja alipokea kiasi kulingana na uwezo wake, na yule mtu alisafari kwenda zake.
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
Mapema yule aliyepokea talanta tano alienda kuziwekeza, na kuzalisha talanta zingine tano.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
Vilevile yule aliyepokea talanta mbili, alizalisha zingine mbili.
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
Lakini mtumwa aliyepokea talanta moja, alienda zake, akachimba shimo ardhini, na kuificha fedha ya bwana wake.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
Na baada ya muda mrefu, bwana wa watumwa hao alirudi na kutengeneza mahesabu nao.
20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’
Yule mtumwa aliyepokea talanta tano alikuja na kuleta talanta zingine tano, akasema, 'Bwana, ulinipa talanta tano. Tazama, nimepata faida ya talanta zingine tano.'
21 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Bwana wake alimwambia, 'Hongera, mtumwa mzuri na mwaminifu! Umekuwa mwaminifu kwa vitu vidogo. Nitakupa madaraka juu ya vitu vingi. Ingia katika furaha ya bwana wako.'
22 “He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’
Mtumwa aliyepokea talanta mbili alikuja na kusema, 'Bwana, ulinipa talanta mbili. Tazama, nimepata faida ya talanta zingine mbili,'
23 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Bwana wake alimwambia, 'Hongera, mtumwa mzuri na mwaminifu! Umekuwa mwaminifu kwa vitu vichache. Nitakupa madaraka juu ya vitu vingi. Ingia katika furaha ya bwana wako.'
24 “He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.
Baadaye mtumwa aliyepokea talanta moja alikuja na kusema, 'Bwana, najua kuwa wewe ni mtu mkali. Unachuma mahali ambapo hukupanda, na unavuna mahali ambapo hukusia.
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
Mimi niliogopa, nikaenda zangu na kuificha talanta yako katika udongo. Tazama, unayo hapa ile iliyo yako.'
26 “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.
Lakini bwana wake alijibu na kusema, 'Wewe mtumwa mwovu na mzembe, ulijua kwamba ninachuma mahali ambapo sijapanda na kuvuna mahali ambapo sikusia.
27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
Kwahiyo ulipaswa kuwapa fedha yangu watu wa benki, na wakati wa kurudi kwangu ningeipokea ile yangu pamoja na faida.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Kwa hiyo mnyang'anyeni hiyo talanta na mpeni yule mtumwa aliye na talanta kumi.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Kila mtu aliye nacho, ataongezewa zaidi-hata kwa kuzidishiwa sana. Lakini kwa yeyote asiye na kitu, hata alicho nacho atanyang'anywa.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Mtupeni nje gizani huyo mtumwa asiyefaa, ambako kutakuwa na kilio na kusaga meno.'
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
Wakati Mwana wa Adamu atakapokuja katika utukufu wake, na malaika wote pamoja naye, ndipo atakapokaa juu ya kiti chake cha utukufu.
32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Mataifa yote yatakusanyika mbele zake, naye atawatenganisha watu, kama vile mchungaji anavyowatenganisha kondoo na mbuzi.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Atawaweka kondoo mkono wake wa kuume, bali mbuzi atawaweka mkono wa kushoto.
34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Kisha mfalme atawaambia wale walio mkono wake wa kulia, 'Njoni, mliobarikiwa na Baba yangu, urithini ufalme ulioandaliwa kwa ajili yenu tangu kuwekwa msingi wa ulimwengu.
35 for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.
Kwa kuwa nilikuwa na njaa na mlinipa chakula; Nilikuwa mgeni na mlinikaribisha;
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
Nilikuwa uchi, na mlinivika nguo; Nilikuwa mgonjwa na mkanitunza; Nilikuwa kifungoni na mkaniijia.'
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
Ndipo wenye haki watamjibu na kumwambia, 'Bwana, lini tulikuona ukiwa na njaa, na kukulisha? Au una kiu na tukakupa maji?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
Na lini tulikuona ukiwa mgeni, na tukakukaribisha? Au ukiwa uchi na tukakuvisha nguo?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
Na lini tulikuona ukiwa mgonjwa, au katika kifungo, na tukakujia?
40 “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Na mfalme atawajibu na kuwaambia, 'Kweli nawaambia, mlichotenda hapa kwa mmoja wa ndugu zangu wadogo, mlinitendea mimi.'
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
Ndipo atawaambia hao walio mkono wake wa kushoto, 'Ondokeni kwangu, mliolaaniwa, nendeni katika moto wa milele ulioandaliwa kwa ajili ya shetani na malaika zake, (aiōnios g166)
42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
kwa sababu nilikuwa na njaa lakini hamkunipa chakula; Nilikuwa na kiu lakini hamkunipa maji;
43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
Nilikuwa mgeni lakini hamkunikaribisha; nikiwa uchi lakini hamkunipa mavazi; nikiwa mgonjwa na nikiwa kifungoni, lakini hamkunitunza.'
44 “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’
Ndipo wao pia watamjibu na kusema, 'Bwana, lini tulikuona ukiwa na njaa, au una kiu, au u mgeni, au ukiwa uchi, au ukiwa mgonjwa, au ukiwa mfungwa, na hatukukuhudumia?
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’
Kisha atawajibu na kusema, 'Kweli nawaambia, kile ambacho hamkutenda kwa mmoja wa hawa wadogo, hamkunitendea mimi.'
