1“Pea ʻe toki tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kau tāupoʻou ʻe toko hongofulu, naʻa nau toʻo ʻenau ngaahi tūhulu, ʻo ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki ki he tangata taʻane.
1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2Naʻe poto honau toko nima, kae vale ʻae toko nima.
2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3Ko kinautolu naʻe vale naʻe ʻave ʻenau tūhulu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻave mo haʻanau lolo:
3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.
4Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe he poto ʻae lolo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ipu, pea mo ʻenau tūhulu
4But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
5Pea ʻi he tuai mai ʻae tangata taʻane, naʻa nau tulemohe kotoa pē ʻo mohe.
5When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6“Pea tuʻuapō mālie mo ʻene pa mai ʻae kalanga, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae tangata taʻane; mou ʻalu atu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia.’
6At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7Pea toki tuʻu hake ʻae kau tāupoʻou kotoa pē ko ia, ʻo teuteu ʻenau tūhulu.
7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8Pea lea ʻae vale ki he poto, ‘Foaki mai maʻamautolu ʻi hoʻomou lolo; he ʻoku tei mate ʻemau tūhulu’
8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9Ka naʻe lea ʻae poto, ʻo pehēange, ‘Ka koeʻuhi naʻa siʻi ia kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu: ka mou ʻalu kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatau, ʻo fakatau maʻamoutolu.’
9‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10Pea lolotonga ʻenau ʻalu ke fakatau, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko kinautolu naʻe teuteu naʻe hū mo ia ki he taʻane: pea tāpuni ʻae matapā.
10But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
11“Hili ia, mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae kau tāupoʻou naʻe ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu.’
11Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
12Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, ‘ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻakimoutolu.’
12But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
13“Ko ia mou leʻo, he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻae ʻaho pe ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe haʻu ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
13Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
14¶ “Pea ʻoku hangē foki ko e tangata ʻoku te u fononga ki ha fonua mamaʻo, pea ui ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaʻana, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻene ngaahi meʻa.
14For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.
15Naʻe tuku ki he tokotaha ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, pea ua ki he tokotaha, pea taha ki he tokotaha; ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene faʻa fai, pea ʻalu leva hono fononga.
15To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
16Pea ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo fakatauʻaki ia, ʻo ne fakalahi ʻaki ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe nima.
16The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.
17Pea ko ia foki naʻe ua, naʻa ne maʻu ʻaki ia ʻae ua kehe.
17Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.
18Ka ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻae taha, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo keli ʻi he kelekele, ʻo tanu ʻae koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki.
18But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19“Pea fuoloa, pea toki haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu.
19After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them.
20Pea haʻu ia ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe nima, ʻo ne ʻomi mo e taleniti kehe ʻe nima, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa ke tuku mai kiate au ʻae taleniti ʻe nima: vakai, kuo u maʻu mo ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe nima.’
20The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
21Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene ʻeiki kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei mo angatonu: kuo ke fai totonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, te u fakanofo koe ke ke pule ki he meʻa lahi: hū koe ki he fiefiaʻanga ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.’
21His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
22Pea haʻu foki ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa ke tuku mai kiate au ʻae taleniti ʻe ua: vakai, kuo u maʻu mo ia ʻae taleniti kehe ʻe ua.’
22The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’
23Pea pehēange ʻe heʻene ʻeiki kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei mo angatonu: kuo ke fai totonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, te u fakanofo koe ke ke pule ki he meʻa lahi: hū koe ki he fiefiaʻanga ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.’
23His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
24Pea toki haʻu ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae taleniti ʻe taha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ne u ʻilo koe ko e tangata faingataʻa, ʻoku ke tuʻusi ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ai, ʻo tānaki ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te ke tufaki ai:
24Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25Pea ne u manavahē, pea u ʻalu ʻo fufū hoʻo taleniti ʻi he kelekele: vakai, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau.’
25So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
26“Pea lea ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻAe tamaioʻeiki angakovi mo fakapikopiko, naʻa ke ʻilo ʻoku ou tuʻusi ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi ai, mo tānaki ʻi he potu naʻe ʻikai te u tufaki ai:
26‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27Naʻe totonu ai haʻo ʻatu ʻeku koloa ki he kau fakatau, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku mo hono fakalahi.
27Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
28Ko ia toʻo ʻae taleniti meiate ia, ʻo ʻoatu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene taleniti.
28Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
29He ko ia fulipē ʻoku maʻu, ʻe toe ʻoatu kiate ia, pea te ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30Pea mou lī ʻae tamaioʻeiki taʻeʻaonga ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31¶ “ʻOka haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi hono nāunau, mo e kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē mo ia, ʻe toki nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻa ʻo hono nāunau:
31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.
32pea ʻe fakakātoa ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē: pea ʻe vahe ua ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e vaheʻi ʻe he tauhi sipi ʻa ʻene sipi mei he kosi:
32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33Pea ʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae fanga sipi ki hono nima toʻomataʻu, ka ko e fanga kosi ki he toʻohema.
33He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
34Pea ʻe toki pehē ʻe he Tuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, ‘Haʻu, ʻakimoutolu kuo monūʻia ʻi heʻeku Tamai, ʻo maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kuo teu moʻomoutolu talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani:
34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35He naʻaku fiekaia, pea naʻa mou foaki ʻae meʻakai kiate au: naʻaku fieinua, pea naʻa mou foaki ʻae inu kiate au: ko e muli au, pea naʻa mou fakaʻafeʻi au:
35For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,
36Telefua, pea naʻa mou fakakofuʻi au: naʻaku mahaki, pea naʻa mou ʻaʻahi mai kiate au: naʻaku ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea naʻa mou haʻu kiate au.’
36I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
37“Pea ʻe toki lea ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke fiekaia, pea mau fafangaʻi koe ? Pea fieinua, pea mau foaki ʻae inu kiate koe ?
37Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?
38Naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ko e muli, pea mau fakaafeʻi koe ? Pe telefua, pea mau fakakofuʻi koe ?
38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39Pea naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke mahaki, pe ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea mau ʻalu atu kiate koe?’
39When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
40Pea ʻe lea ʻae Tuʻi, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fai ia ki ha taha ʻoku kihiʻi siʻi hifo ʻi hoku kāinga ni, ko hoʻomou fai ia kiate au.’
40And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
41“Pea ʻe toki tala ʻe ia foki kiate kinautolu ʻi hono nima toʻohema, ‘ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu kuo malaʻia, ki he afi taʻemate, naʻe teu ki he tēvolo mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo:
41Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42He naʻaku fiekaia, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ha meʻakai kiate au: naʻaku fieinua, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ha inu kiate au:
42For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
43Ko e muli au, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou fakaafeʻi au: telefua, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou fakakofuʻi au: mahaki, pea ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻaʻahi kiate au.’
43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44“Pea ʻe toki lea ai ʻakinautolu kiate ia foki, ʻo pehēange, ‘ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke fiekaia, pe ko e fieinua, pe ko e muli, pe telefua, pe mahaki, pe ʻi he fale fakapōpula, kae ʻikai te mau tauhi koe?’
44And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
45Pea ʻe toki lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻefai ia ki ha tokotaha ʻoku kihiʻi siʻi hifo ʻiate kinautolu ni, ko hoʻomou taʻefai ia kiate au.’
45Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
46Pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻakinautolu ni ki he malaʻia taʻengata: ka ko e māʻoniʻoni ki he moʻui taʻengata.”
46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
