Matthew 25

25 ¹"Dat time, di kingdom of our Papa go be like ten virgin girls wey carry dia lamp comot go meet di bridegroom. ²Five of dem no get sense, and five get sense. ³Di ones wey no get sense carry dia lamp but dem no carry any oil. ⁴But di ones wey get sense carry oil for bottle join dia lamp. ⁵As di bridegroom delay reach, sleep catch all of dem and dem sleep off. ⁶But for middle of di night, one shout burst comot: 'Look am, di bridegroom don come! Comot go meet am!' ⁷Then all di young women wake up and arrange dia lamp. ⁸Di ones wey no get sense tell di ones wey get sense, 'Abeg give us small for una oil, because our lamp dey wan die.' ⁹But di ones wey get sense answer, 'No o, di oil fit no reach for us and una. Make una rather go meet di people wey dey sell, go buy for unaself.' ¹⁰While dem waka go buy am, di bridegroom come. Di ones wey ready enter go wit am for di wedding feast, and dem lock di door. ¹¹Later di other young women come too, dey talk, 'Oga, oga, open di door for us!' ¹²But e answer, 'True-true I dey tell una, I no know una.' ¹³So make una dey watch, because una no know di day or di hour.

Faithful wit Every Gift wey Dem Give You

¹⁴"E go be like one man wey dey travel go far country, wey call im servants come give dem im property make dem mind am. ¹⁵E give one person five bag of silver, another person two, another person one—each person according to im own power—then e comot go im journey. ¹⁶Di one wey dem give five bag of silver go one time, use am work, and gain five more. ¹⁷Na di same way, di one wey get two bag of silver gain two more. ¹⁸But di one wey collect one bag of silver go, dig ground, and hide im master money.

¹⁹"After long time, di master of dose servants come back and settle account wit dem. ²⁰Di man wey collect five bag of silver come, add five more: 'Master, you give me five bag of silver make I mind am; look am, I don gain five more.'

²¹"Im master tell am, 'You do well, good and faithful servant! You bin faithful wit small thing; I go put you over plenty thing. Enter your master joy!'

²²"Di one wey get two bag of silver come too and talk, 'Master, you give me two bag of silver; look am, I don earn two more.'

²³"Im master tell am, 'You do well, good and faithful servant! You bin faithful wit small thing; I go put you over plenty thing. Enter your master joy!'

²⁴"Then di one wey collect one bag of silver come and talk, 'Master, I bin know say you be hard man, wey dey harvest where you no plant, dey gather where you no scatter seed.' ²⁵I fear, so I go hide your silver for ground. See wetin be your own.

²⁶"Im master answer, 'You bad, lazy servant! You know say I dey harvest where I no plant and dey gather where I no scatter seed?

²⁷"You for put my money for bank, so dat wen I come back, I go collect am back wit interest. ²⁸So collect di bag of silver from am, give am to di one wey get ten bag of silver. ²⁹Because everybody wey get, dem go give am more, and e go plenty pass; but di one wey no get anything, dem go collect even di small wey e get. ³⁰Throway dat useless servant enter di darkness wey dey outside, where cry and grinding of teeth dey.'

The Pikin of Man Go Judge di Nations

³¹"Wen di Pikin of Man come inside im glory, wit all im angels, e go sit down for im throne wey full of glory. ³²All di nations go gather for im front, and e go separate dem from each other, di same way wey shepherd dey separate sheep from goat. ³³E go put di sheep for im right hand and di goat for im left hand. ³⁴Then di King go tell di ones wey dey im right hand, 'Come, una wey my Papa don bless; take di kingdom wey dem prepare for una since wen dem lay di foundation of di world.

³⁵"Because hunger bin dey do me and una feed me; thirst bin catch me, and una give me water drink; I be stranger, and una carry me enter house, ³⁶I no wear cloth and una dress me, I sick and una take care of me, I dey prison and una come see me.'"

³⁷"Then di correct-and-holy people go answer am, 'Oga, wen we see you say hunger dey do you and we feed you, or thirst catch you and we give you drink?

³⁸"Wen we see you as stranger and give you place, or you no wear cloth and we dress you? ³⁹Wen we see you sick or for prison and we come meet you?'"

⁴⁰"And di King go answer, 'True-true I dey tell una, wetin una do for one of dis my brothers and sisters wey be di smallest, na for me una do am.' ⁴¹Then e go tell di ones wey dey im left hand, 'Comot for my front, una wey curse dey on top, enter di fire wey no dey end, wey dem prepare for di devil and im angels. ⁴²Because hunger bin dey do me and una no give me anything chop, thirst catch me and una no give me anything drink, ⁴³I be stranger, and una no carry me enter house; I no wear cloth, and una no dress me; I sick and dey prison, and una no come see me.'"

⁴⁴"Then dem too go answer, 'Oga, wen we see you say hunger dey do you, thirst dey do you, you be stranger, you no wear cloth, you sick, or you dey prison, and we no serve you?'

⁴⁵"E go answer, 'True-true I dey tell una: wetin una no do for one of dis smallest people, na for me una no do am.' ⁴⁶Then dem go waka go punishment wey no dey end, but di correct-and-holy people go life wey no dey end."
