Pene 47

Na paretenia hoê ahuru

Ten virgins wait at the door for the bridegroom - ch.47-1

Ua faati‘a Iesu i te hoê aamu no ni‘a i na vahine apî hoê ahuru te haere ra i te hoê faaipoiporaa. Ua tia‘i ratou ia tae mai te tane faaipoipo e ia faatomo ia ratou i roto. Aita ratou i ite eaha te taime e tae mai ai oia.

The wise virgins have extra oil for their lamps - ch.47-2

E mori hinu ta teie na vahine hoê ahuru ra. E pae vahine paari. Ua hopoi mai ratou i te hinu hau.

The foolish virgins had only the oil in their lamps - A woman stands looking at a lamp she holds in her hands - ch.47-3

E pae vahine maamaa. Tei roto ana‘e ta ratou hinu i ta ratou mau lamepa.

The five wise virgins put extra oil in their lamps while the five foolish go to find more oil - ch.47-4

Ua maoro te taeraa mai o te tane faaipoipo. Ua pau a‘e ra te hinu i roto i te mau lamepa. E hinu ta te mau vahine paari e toe ra no te tuu i roto i ta ratou lamepa. Area ra te mau vahine maamaa e pae, e titauhia ïa ia ratou ia haere e hoo mai i te tahi atu hinu na ratou.

The bridgroom comes and the five wise virgins go into the feast - ch.47-5

Tei te haereraa’tu ratou, tae maira te tane faaipoipo. Ua faatomo atu ra oia i na vahine paari toopae i roto i te faaipoiporaa.

The five foolish virgins knock on the door - ch.47-6

Ia ho‘i mai na vahine maamaa toopae ra, ua piri te opani. Aita a‘e ra i ti‘a ia ratou ia tomo i roto i te faaipoiporaa.

Jesus Christ comes again and the righteous members are ready, but other members, like the foolish virgins, are not - ch.47-7

E au Iesu mai te tane faaipoipo i roto i teie aamu. E au te mau melo o te Ekalesia mai na vahine tooahuru ra. Ia ho‘i faahou mai o Iesu ra, ua ineine te tahi mau melo. Ua haapa‘o ratou i te mau faaueraa a te Atua. Aita te tahi pae e ineine. Eita e ti‘a ia ratou ia parahi i piha‘iho i te Faaora ia ho‘i faahou mai Oia.
