1Daymi deg wussan-nni, tagelda n igenwan aț-țecbu ɣer ɛecṛa telmeẓyin i geddmen tiftilin-nsent iwakken ad ṛuḥent ad mmagrent isli.
1Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2Xemsa seg-sent ț-țuḥṛicin, xemsa nniḍen ț-țungifin.
2And five of them were prudent and five foolish.
3Mi d-ddment tungifin-nni tiftilin nsent, ur d-wwint ara zzit yid-sent.
3They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;
4Ma ț-țuḥṛicin-nni, wwint-ed yid-sent tiqbucin n zzit.
4but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.
5Imi i gɛeṭṭel yesli, tilmeẓyin-nni nuddment dɣa ṭsent.
5Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.
6Di tlemmast n yiḍ, yiwet n taɣect tɛeggeḍ-ed : Ataya yesli iteddu-d, ffɣemt a t-temmagremt !
6But in [the] middle of [the] night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him.
7Imiren kan ukint-ed akk telmeẓyin-nni, heggant tiftilin-nsent.
7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their torches.
8Tungifin-nni nnant i tuḥṛicin : Fkemt-aɣ-d kra si zzit-nkunt, tiftilin-nneɣ qṛib ad xsint.
8And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.
9Tuḥṛicin rrant-asent : Ulamek, ur aɣ-d-tkeffu ara i nekkunti d kunemti, ṛuḥemt a d taɣemt i yiman-nkunt ɣer wid yeznuzun.
9But the prudent answered saying, [We cannot,] lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10Mi ṛuḥent a d-aɣent, isli yewweḍ-ed, tuḥṛicin-nni iheggan iman-nsent kecment yid-es ɣer wexxam n tmeɣṛa, dɣa rran-d tawwurt.
10But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the [ones that were] ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
11Mi i d-wwḍent tungifin-nni, bdant țɛeggiḍent : A Sidi, a Sidi ldi-yaɣ-d tawwurt.
11Afterwards come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us;
12Meɛna nețța yerra-yasent-ed : A kunt-iniɣ tideț : ur kkunt ssineɣ ara !
12but he answering said, Verily I say unto you, I do not know you.
13Daymi a wen-iniɣ : Ɛasset, imi ur teẓrim ass, ur teẓrim lweqt.
13Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14Ass n tuɣalin n Mmi-s n bunadem ad yili daɣen am yiwen wergaz i gțeddun ad iṛuḥ ɣer lɣeṛba, yesnejmaɛ-ed iqeddacen-is, iwekkel iten ɣef wayen akk yesɛa.
14For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
15Ifka i umezwaru xemsmeyya twiztin n ddheb, wi sin yefka-yas mitin, wis tlata yefka-yas meyya ; yefka i yal yiwen s wakken tella tezmert-is, dɣa iṛuḥ.
15And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
16Imiren kan, aqeddac-nni iwumi yefka xemsmeyya twiztin, iṛuḥ yetjeṛ yis-sent, irbeḥ-ed xemsmeyya nniḍen.
16And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
17Ula d win iwumi yefka mitin, ixdem akken, irbeḥ-ed mitin nniḍen.
17In like manner also he that [had received] the two, [he also] gained two others.
18Ma d win iwumi yefka meyya, iṛuḥ yeɣza di lqaɛa, yeffer tiwiztin-nni i s-d-ifka umɛellem-is.
18But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19Mi gɛedda lweqt, yuɣal-ed umɛellem-nni, isnejmaɛ-iten-id iwakken ad imḥasab yid-sen.
19And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.
20Win akken iwumi yefka xemsmeyya twiztin, yusa-d yewwi-d yid-es xemsmeyya twiztin nniḍen, yenna-yas : A Sidi tefkiḍ-iyi-d xemsmeyya twiztin n ddheb, a tent-ih xemsmeyya nniḍen i d-rebḥeɣ yis-sent.
20And he that had received the five talents came to [him] and brought five other talents, saying, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.
21Amɛellem-is yenna-yas : D ayen yelhan i txedmeḍ ay aqeddac unṣiḥ, imi deg-ek laman ɣef tɣawsiwin timecṭuḥin, sya d asawen a k-wekkleɣ ɣef timeqqranin ! Ili-k di lfeṛḥ yid-i !
21His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.
22Aqeddac-nni iwumi yefka mitin twiztin n ddheb, iqeṛṛeb-ed ula d nețța, yenna-yas : A Sidi tefkiḍ-iyi mitin twiztin n ddheb, a tent-ih mitin nniḍen i d-rebḥeɣ yis-sent.
22And he also that had received the two talents came to [him] and said, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
23Amɛellem-is yenna-yas : D ayen yelhan i txedmeḍ, ay aqeddac unṣiḥimi deg-k laman ɣef tɣawsiwin timecṭuḥin, sya d asawen a k-wekkleɣ ɣef timeqqranin ! Ili-k di lfeṛḥ yid-i !
23His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24Iwweḍ-ed win akken iwumi yefka meyya twiztin, yenna yas : A Sidi ẓriɣ-k d argaz iweɛṛen, tmeggreḍ anda ur tezriɛeḍ, tjemmɛeḍ seg wennar ayen ur tesrewteḍ ,
24And he also that had received the one talent coming to [him] said, [My] lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,
25dɣa uggadeɣ-k, daymi i ṛuḥeɣ ffreɣ deg wakal tiwiztin-nni i yi-tefkiḍ. Atan wayla-k, ddem-it !
25and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.
26Amɛellem-is yenna-yas : Ay aqeddac amcum, ameɛdaz ! Imi iyi-teẓriḍ meggreɣ-d anda ur zriɛeɣ, jemmɛeɣ-ed daɣen anda ur srewteɣ,
26And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;
27acuɣeṛ ihi ur tessekraḍ ara idrimin-iw iwakken m'ara d-uɣaleɣ a ten-id-erreɣ s lfayda.
27thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.
28Imiren amɛellem-nni yumeṛ i iqeddacen-is yenna-yasen : Kkset-as meyya-nni twiztin ternum-tent i win yesɛan ɛecṛa alef n twiztin !
28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:
29Axaṭer kra win yesɛan, a s-nernu ad yili di tawant, ma d win ur nesɛi ara, a s-nekkes ula d ayen yesɛa.
29for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
30Ma d aqeddac-agi ur nemɛin, ḍeggṛet-eț ɣer ṭṭlam n beṛṛa anda ara yilin imeṭṭawen d nndama tameqqrant.
30And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
31Asm'ara d-yas Mmi-s n bunadem di tmanegt-is nețța d lmalayekkat meṛṛa, ad iḥkem di lɛaḍima-s ;
31But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,
32leǧnas meṛṛa a d-nnejmaɛen zdat-es, a ten-ifṛeq am umeksa iɛeSlen ulli ɣef tɣeṭṭen.
32and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33Ad yerr ulli ɣer uyeffus-is, tiɣeṭṭen ɣer uzelmaḍ-is.
33and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.
34Imiren agellid ad yini i wid yellan ɣer uyeffus-is : Aset-ed a kunwi iburek Baba, aț-țweṛtem tagelda i wen-ițțuheggan seg wasmi i tebda ddunit.
34Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:
35Axaṭer lliɣ lluẓeɣ tefkam-iyi ččiɣ, ffudeɣ tefkam-iyi swiɣ, usiɣ-ed d abeṛṛani testeṛḥbem yis-i,
35for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36lliɣ d aɛeryan tesselsem-iyi, d amuḍin telham-d yid-i, lliɣ daɣen d ameḥbus tusam-d teẓram-iyi.
36naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
37Imiren iḥeqqiyen a s-d-rren : A Sidi melmi i k-neẓra telluẓeḍ, nefka-yak teččiḍ ? Neɣ neẓra-k teffuḍeḍ nefka-yak teswiḍ ?
37Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?
38Melmi daɣen i d-tusiḍ d abeṛṛani nesṭeṛḥeb yis-ek, neɣ melmi i k-nwala d aɛeryan, nessels-ik ?
38and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?
39Melmi i k-neẓra d amuḍin neɣ di lḥebs nusa-d ɣuṛ-ek ?
39and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?
40Agellid a sen-d-yerr : A wen-iniɣ tideț, yal tikkelt i deg txedmem ayagi i yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi yellan d atmaten-iw, i nekk iwumi t-txedmem.
40And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
41Imiren ad yini i wid yellan ɣer uẓelmaḍ-is : Beɛdet akkin fell-i a kunwi yețwaneɛlen, ṛuḥet ɣer tmes n dayem yețwaheggan i Cciṭan d wid i t- tebɛen.
41Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42Axaṭer lliɣ lluẓeɣ ur iyi tesseččem ara, ffudeɣ ur iyi-tefkim ara ad sweɣ,
42for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;
43usiɣ-ed d abeṛṛani ur tesṭerḥbem ara yis-i, lliɣ d aɛeryan ur iyi tesselsem ara, lliɣ daɣen d amuḍin, d ameḥbus, ur d-tusim ara aț-țesteqsim fell-i.
43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
44Imiren ula d nutni a s-d-rren : A Sidi, melmi i k-neẓra telluẓeḍ neɣ teffudeḍ d abeṛṛani neɣ d aɛeryan, d amuḍin neɣ d ameḥbus, ur d-nelhi ara yid-ek ?
44Then shall *they* also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?
45Nețța a sen-d-yerr : A wen-iniɣ tideț : yal tikkelt i deg ur texdimem ara ayagi i yiwen seg imecṭuḥen-agi, i nekk iwumi ur t-texdimem ara.
45Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.
46Imiren widak-agi ad kecmen ɣer lɛiqab ur nfennu, ma d iḥeqqiyen ad kecmen ɣer tudert n dayem !
46And these shall go away into eternal punishment, and the righteous into life eternal.
