1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
1 «Booba nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji dina mel ni fukki janq, ñu fab seeni làmp, génn, gatanduji boroom séet ba.
2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
2 Fekk juróom ca janq ya di ñu am xel, juróom ya ca des ñàkk xel.
3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
3 Ñi ñàkk xel nag fab nañu seeni làmp, waaye fabaalewuñu diwlin;
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
4 waaye ñi am xel ñoom fab nañu seeni làmp, fabaale diwlin ciy njaq.
5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
5 Ni boroom séet bi yéexee ñëw nag, ñépp gëmmeentu bay nelaw.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
6 «Noonu ci xaaju guddi baat jib ne: “Boroom séet baa ngi, génnleen, gatandu ko.”
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
7 Bi ko janq ya déggee, ñu jóg, defar seeni làmp.
8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
8 Ñi ñàkk xel wax ñi am xel: “Mayleen nu ci seen diwlin, ndaxte sunuy làmp ñu ngi bëgg a fey.”
9But 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.
9 Waaye ñi am xel tontu leen ne: “Li nu yor du doy ngir nun ak yéen; tee ngeen a dem ca jaaykat ya, jënd.”
10And 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.
10 «Bi nga xamee ne dem nañu jëndi, boroom séet ba agsi. Ñi amoon diwlin ci seeni làmp, ànd ak boroom séet ba ca reer ya. Noonu bunt ba tëj.
11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
11 Gannaaw loolu janq ya ca des agsi naan: “Sang bi, Sang bi, ubbil nu.”
12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
12 Waaye mu tontu leen ne: “Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, xawma leen.”
13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
13 «Yeewuleen nag, ndaxte xamuleen bés ba mbaa waxtu wa.
14For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
14 «Te it nguuru Yàlla dafa mel ni kuy tukki bitim réew. Bi mu laata dem, mu woo ay surgaam, batale leen alalam, ku nekk lu mu àttan.
15And 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.
15 Kenn ka, mu dénk ko juróomi milyoŋ, keneen ka, mu dénk ko ñaar; ka ca des, benn; daldi tukki.
16Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
16 «Bi mu demee nag, ki jot juróomi milyoŋ ya dem, di ci jula, ba amaat yeneen juróom.
17And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
17 Noonu it ki jot ñaar amaat yeneen ñaar.
18But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
18 Waaye ki jot benn milyoŋ dem, gas pax, nëbb fa xaalisu njaatigeem.
19After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
19 «Gannaaw diir bu yàgg njaatigeb surga ya dellusi, daldi leen laaj alalam.
20And 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.
20 Noonu ki jot juróomi milyoŋ ya jegeñsi, indi yeneen juróom naan: “Kilifa gi, dénk nga ma juróomi milyoŋ; seetal, ame naa ci yeneen juróom.”
21His 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.
21 Njaatigeem tontu ko: “Def nga lu baax, surga bu baax nga te takku. Gannaaw takku nga ci lu tuuti, dinaa la dénk lu bare. Kaay bokk ci sama mbég.”
22He 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.
22 Naka noona ki jot ñaari milyoŋ it jegeñsi ne ko: “Kilifa gi, dénk nga ma ñaari milyoŋ, seetal, ame naa ci yeneen ñaar.”
23His 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.
23 Njaatigeem ne ko: “Def nga lu baax, surga bu baax nga te takku. Gannaaw takku nga ci lu tuuti, dinaa la dénk lu bare. Kaay bokk ci sama mbég.”
24Then 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:
24 «Gannaaw loolu nag, ki jot benn milyoŋ jegeñsi ne ko: “Kilifa gi, xamoon naa ne, nit ku néeg nga; dangay dajale foo jiwul, tey góob foo faruwul.
25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
25 Moo tax ma ragaloon la, ba dem, nëbb sa xaalis ci biir suuf; mi ngii, fabal li nga moom.”
26His 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:
26 Waaye njaatigeem tontu ko: “Surga bu bon nga te tayel! Gannaaw xamoon nga ne, damay dajale fu ma jiwul, tey góob fu ma faruwul,
27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
27 kon waroon ngaa yóbbu sama xaalis ca denckati xaalis ya. Bés bu ma ñëwee nag, ma man a jot li ma moom ak la mu jur.”
28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
28 Noonu njaatige bi ne: “Nanguleen xaalis bi ci moom, jox ko boroom fukki milyoŋ yi.
29For 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.
29 Ndaxte ku am dinañu la dolli, ba nga barele, waaye ku amul, li nga am as néew sax, dinañu ko nangu.
30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
30 Te sànnileen surga bu amul njariñ bi ci biti ci lëndëm gi. Foofa dees na fa jooy te yéyu.”
31When 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:
31 «Boo xamee ne Doomu nit ki mu ngi ñëw ci ndamam, ànd ak malaaka yépp, booba dina falu ni buur, toog ci jalam bu soloo ndam.
32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
32 Bu boobaa dees na dajale xeeti àddina yépp ci kanamam, te dina leen xàjjale, ni sàmm di xàjjalee xar yi ak bëy yi,
33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
33 mu teg xar yi ci ndeyjooram, bëy yi ci càmmooñam.
34Then 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:
34 «Noonu Buur bi dina wax ñi féete ndeyjoor: “Agsileen, yéen ñi sama Baay barkeel, jël-leen nguur, gi ñu leen waajal li dale ci njàlbéenug àddina.
35For 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:
35 Ndaxte xiifoon naa, ngeen jox ma, ma lekk; te mar, ngeen jox ma, ma naan; nekkoon naa ab doxandéem, ngeen fat ma;
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
36 te rafle, ngeen wodd ma; woppoon naa, ngeen seetsi ma; te ñu tëj ma, ngeen ñëw fi man.”
37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
37 Ci kaw loolu ñi jub dinañu tontu ne: “Boroom bi, kañ lanu la gisoon, nga xiif, nu jox la, nga lekk; mbaa nga mar, nu jox la, nga naan?
38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
38 Kañ lanu la gisoon, nga nekk ab doxandéem, nu fat la; mbaa nga rafle, nu wodd la?
39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
39 Kañ lanu la gisoon, nga wopp mbaa ñu tëj la, nu ñëw ci yaw?”
40And 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.
40 Noonu Buur bi dina leen tontu ne: “Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, saa yu ngeen defalee loolu kenn ki gën a ndaw ci sama bokk yii, man ngeen ko defal.”
41Then 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:
41 «Gannaaw loolu dina wax ñi ci càmmooñam: “Soreleen ma yéen ñi alku, te dem ci safara su dul fey, si ñu sàkkal Seytaane ak ay malaakaam.
42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
42 Ndaxte xiifoon naa waaye joxuleen ma, ma lekk; te mar waaye joxuleen ma, ma naan.
43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
43 nekkoon naa ab doxandéem, waaye fatuleen ma; te rafle, waaye wodduleen ma; woppoon naa te ñu tëj ma, waaye seetsiwuleen ma.”
44Then 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?
44 Ci kaw loolu dinañu tontu ne: “Boroom bi, kañ lanu la gisoon, nga xiif, mbaa nga mar, nga nekk ab doxandéem mbaa rafle, nga wopp mbaa ñu tëj la, te topptoowunu la?”
45Then 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.
45 Kon dina leen tontu ne: “Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, saa su ngeen ko defalul kenn ci ñi gën a ndaw, man ngeen ko defalul.”
46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
46 Noonu ñii dinañu sóobu ci mbugal gu dul jeex, waaye ñi jub dinañu tàbbi ci dund gu dul jeex.»
