Matthew 25

Se konsa, nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la se va tankou istwa dis jennfi ki pran lanp yo, ki soti al kontre msye marye a.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Senk nan yo te tèt chaje, senk lòt yo te gen bon konprann.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Tèt chaje yo te pran lanp yo ase. Yo pa t' pote gaz an rezèv.

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Men sa ki te gen bon konprann yo te pote yon boutèy plen gaz ansanm ak lanp yo.

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Pandan yo t'ap tann msye marye a ki te an reta, yo tout pran kabicha, dòmi vòlò yo.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Nan mitan lannwit lan, yon rèl pati: Men msye marye a. Ann al kontre li.

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Dis jennfi yo leve, yo pran pare lanp yo.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Tèt chaje yo mande sak gen bon konprann yo: Tanpri, ban nou ti gout nan gaz nou pote a, paske lanp pa nou yo ap mouri.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Men, senk ki te gen bon konprann yo reponn: Non, nou pa kapab, paske pa gen ase pou nou tout. Pito n' al achte nan men machann yo.

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.

Antan tèt chaje yo al achte gaz la, msye marye a vin rive. Senk jennfi ki te pare yo antre ansanm avè l' nan kay nòs la. Yo fèmen pòt la dèyè yo.

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.

Pita, lòt jennfi yo vin rive, yo di konsa: Mèt, Mèt, louvri pou nou.

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Men msye marye a reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: m' pa konnen nou.

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske, nou pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive.

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Vwala, se va tankou yon nonm ki tapral pati pou yon vwayaj. Li rele domestik li yo, li mete yo reskonsab byen li yo.

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.

Li bay yonn senkmil (5.000) goud, li bay yon lòt demil (2.000) goud, li bay yon twazyèm mil (1.000) goud. Konsa li bay yo chak dapre sa l' konnen yo ka fè. Lèfini, li pati.

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.

Lamenm, domestik ki te resevwa senkmil (5.000) goud la al fè lajan an travay. Li rapòte l' senkmil (5.000) goud benefis.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

Konsa tou, domestik ki te resevwa demil (2.000) goud la fè demil (2.000) goud benefis.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

Sa ki te resevwa mil (1.000) goud la menm ale, li fouye yon twou nan tè, li sere lajan mèt la.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

Lontan apre sa, mèt domestik yo tounen, li pran fè regleman ak yo.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

Domestik ki te resevwa senkmil goud la pwoche, li pote senkmil goud benefis la ba li, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen senkmil goud. Men senkmil goud benefis mwen fè.

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.

Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè toujou. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.

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.

Domestik ki te resevwa demil goud la pwoche apre sa, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen demil goud, men demil goud benefis mwen fè.

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.

Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè ankò. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.

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.

Apre sa, domestik ki te resevwa sèlman mil goud la pwoche, li di: Mèt, mwen konnen ou se yon nonm ki di. Ou rekolte kote ou pa t' simen, ou ranmase kote ou pa t' plante.

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:

Mwen te pè, se sak fè mwen te al sere mil goud ou a anba tè. Men, pran lajan ou.

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Mèt la reponn li: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik, ou parese konsa! Ou te konnen mwen rekolte kote mwen pa t' simen, mwen ranmase kote mwen pa t' plante.

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:

Enben, se pou ou te mete lajan m' labank. Lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete manman lajan an ak yon enterè sou li.

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Wete mil goud la nan men l', pran l' bay sa ki gen dimil (10.000) goud la.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; konsa la gen depase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.

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.

Kanta domestik ki pa vo anyen an, jete l' deyò nan fènwa a. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini nan tout bèl pouvwa li ak tout zanj li yo, la chita sou fotèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li.

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:

Tout nasyon ki sou latè va sanble devan li. Lè sa a, la separe yo fè de gwoup, menm jan moun k'ap gade mouton mete mouton yon bò, kabrit yon bò.

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:

La mete mouton yo sou bò dwat li, kabrit yo sou bò gòch li.

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Apre sa, wa a va pale ak sa ki sou bò dwat li yo, la di: Vini non, nou menm ki resevwa benediksyon Papa m', vin pran posesyon peyi ki te pare pou nou depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye lemonn lan.

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:

Mwen te grangou, nou ban m' manje; mwen te swaf dlo, nou ban m' bwè. Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou te resevwa m' lakay nou.

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:

Mwen te toutouni, nou te ban m' rad. Mwen te malad, nou pran swen m'; mwen te nan prizon, nou vin wè mwen.

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Lè sa a, moun ki te fè byen yo va reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou pou n' te ba ou manje? Kilè nou te wè ou swaf dlo pou nou te ba ou bwè?

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, pou nou te resevwa ou lakay nou? Osinon toutouni, pou n' te ba ou rad?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Kilè nou te wè ou malad, osinon nan prizon, pou n' te al wè ou?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou te fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti pami frè m' yo, se pou mwen nou te fè li.

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.

Apre sa, la pale avèk sa ki sou bò gòch li yo, la di: Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm ki gen madichon! Al nan dife ki p'ap janm mouri an, dife ki te pare pou dyab la ak zanj li yo.

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:

Mwen te grangou, nou pa t' ban m' manje, mwen te swaf dlo, nou pa t' ban m' bwè.

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou pa t' resevwa m' lakay nou. Mwen te toutouni, nou pa t' ban m' anyen pou mwen te mete sou mwen. Mwen te malad, mwen te nan prizon, nou pa t' vin wè mwen.

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.

Lè sa a, y'a reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou, osinon swaf dlo, kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, osinon toutouni, kilè nou te wè ou malad osinon nan prizon, jouk pou nou pa t' ba ou lasistans?

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?

Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou pa t' fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti sa yo, se pou mwen nou pa t' fè li.

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.

Apre sa, l'ap voye yo resevwa chatiman ki p'ap janm fini an. Men, pou moun ki te fè byen yo, y'ap antre nan lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
