Matthew 25
King James Version
25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 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 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 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 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 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 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 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 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 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 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 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 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 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 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 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 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 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 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 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 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 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 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 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 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 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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 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 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 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.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

21 “Ambuye ake anayankha nati, ‘Wachita bwino, wantchito wabwino ndi wokhulupirika iwe! Wakhala wokhulupirika pa zinthu zochepa; ndidzakuyika iwe kukhala woyangʼanira zinthu zambiri. Bwera, udzakondwere pamodzi ndi mbuye wako!’
22 “Munthu amene anali ndi ndalama 2,000 uja anabweranso nati, ‘Ambuye munandisungitsa 2,000, onani, ndapindula 2,000 zinanso.’

24 “Kenaka munthu amene analandira ndalama 1,000 uja anabwera nati, ‘Ambuye ndinadziwa kuti ndinu munthu wowuma mtima, amene mumakolola pamene simunadzale ndi kututa kumene simunafese. 25 Choncho ndinachita mantha ndipo ndinapita ndi kukabisa ndalama yanuyo pa dzenje. Onani, si iyi ndalama yanu ija.’
26 “Mbuye wake anayankha nati, ‘Iwe wantchito woyipa ndi waulesi! Iwe umadziwa kuti ndimakolola pamene sindinadzale, ndi kututa kumene sindinafese. 27 Bwanji sunayike ndalama yanga kwa osunga ndalama kuti ine pobwera ndidzalandire ndalama yangayo pamodzi ndi chiwongoladzanja?
28 “ ‘Mulandeni ndalamayo, ndipo patsani iye amene ali ndi ndalama 10,000. 29 Pakuti aliyense amene ali nazo adzapatsidwa zambiri, ndipo adzakhala nazo zochuluka. Aliyense amene alibe adzalandidwa ngakhale chimene ali nacho. 30 Ndipo muponyeni wantchito wopanda phinduyu kunja, ku mdima kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.’ ”
Nkhosa ndi Mbuzi
31 “Pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wake, pamodzi ndi angelo ake onse, adzakhala pa mpando waufumu mu ulemerero wakumwamba. 32 Mitundu yonse ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa pamaso pake, ndipo adzawalekanitsa iwo wina ndi mnzake monga mʼbusa amalekanitsa nkhosa ndi mbuzi. 33 Adzayika nkhosa ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi mbuzi ku lamanzere.
34 “Pamenepo mfumu idzati kwa a ku dzanja lamanja, ‘Bwerani inu odalitsika ndi Atate anga; landirani ufumu umene unakonzedwa chifukwa cha inu kuyambira pachiyambi cha dziko. 35 Pakuti ndinali ndi njala ndipo munandipatsa chakudya, ndinali ndi ludzu ndipo munandipatsa madzi akumwa, ndinali mlendo ndipo munandilandira, 36 ndinali wausiwa ndipo munandiveka, ndinali wodwala ndipo munandisamalira, ndinali ku ndende ndipo inu munandiyendera.’
37 “Ndipo olungamawo adzamuyankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala ndipo tinakudyetsani, kapena ludzu ndipo tinakupatsani madzi akumwa? 38 Ndi liti tinakuonani muli mlendo ndipo tinakulandirani, kapena wa usiwa ndipo tinakuvekani? 39 Ndi liti tinakuonani mutadwala kapena ku ndende ndipo tinakuyenderani?’

44 “Iwo adzayankha kuti, ‘Ambuye ndi liti tinakuonani muli ndi njala kapena ludzu kapena mlendo kapena wausiwa kapena wodwala kapena mʼndende, ndipo kuti sitinakuthandizeni?’
45 “Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene simunachitire mmodzi wa abale anga onyozekawa simunandichitire Ine.’
46 “Amenewa adzapita ku chilango chosatha pamene olungama ku moyo wosatha.”
