馬太福音 25
1 「那時，天國好比十個童女拿着燈出去迎接新郎。
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 其中有五個是愚拙的，五個是聰明的。
And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 愚拙的拿着燈，卻不預備油；
But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4 聰明的拿着燈，又預備油在器皿裏。
But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5 新郎遲延的時候，她們都打盹，睡着了。
And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6 半夜有人喊着說：『新郎來了，你們出來迎接他！』
And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7 那些童女就都起來收拾燈。
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 愚拙的對聰明的說：『請分點油給我們， 因為我們的燈要滅了。』
And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9 聰明的回答說：『恐怕不夠你我用的；不如你們自己到賣油的那裏去買吧。』
The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 她們去買的時候，新郎到了。那預備好了的，同他進去坐席，門就關了。
Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 其餘的童女隨後也來了，說：『主啊，主啊，給我們開門！』
But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 他卻回答說：『我實在告訴你們，我不認識你們。』
But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13 所以，你們要警醒；因為那日子，那時辰，你們不知道。」
Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14 「天國又好比一個人要往外國去，就叫了僕人來，把他的家業交給他們，
For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 按着各人的才幹給他們銀子：一個給了五千，一個給了二千，一個給了一千，就往外國去了。
And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16 那領五千的隨即拿去做買賣，另外賺了五千。
And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17 那領二千的也照樣另賺了二千。
And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18 但那領一千的去掘開地，把主人的銀子埋藏了。
But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 過了許久，那些僕人的主人來了，和他們算帳。
But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 那領五千銀子的又帶着那另外的五千來，說：『主啊，你交給我五千銀子。請看，我又賺了五千。』
And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21 主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 那領二千的也來，說：『主啊，你交給我二千銀子。請看，我又賺了二千。』
And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23 主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 那領一千的也來，說：『主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25 我就害怕，去把你的一千銀子埋藏在地裏。請看，你的原銀子在這裏。』
And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26 主人回答說：『你這又惡又懶的僕人，你既知道我沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，
And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 就當把我的銀子放給兌換銀錢的人，到我來的時候，可以連本帶利收回。
Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 奪過他這一千來，給那有一萬的。
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 因為凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪過來。
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30 把這無用的僕人丟在外面黑暗裏；在那裏必要哀哭切齒了。』」
And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 「當人子在他榮耀裏、同着眾天使降臨的時候，要坐在他榮耀的寶座上。
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32 萬民都要聚集在他面前。他要把他們分別出來，好像牧羊的分別綿羊山羊一般，
And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33 把綿羊安置在右邊，山羊在左邊。
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 於是王要向那右邊的說：『你們這蒙我父賜福的，可來承受那創世以來為你們所預備的國；
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 因為我餓了，你們給我吃，渴了，你們給我喝；我作客旅，你們留我住；
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 我赤身露體，你們給我穿；我病了，你們看顧我；我在監裏，你們來看我。』
Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 義人就回答說：『主啊，我們甚麼時候見你餓了，給你吃，渴了，給你喝？
Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 甚麼時候見你作客旅，留你住，或是赤身露體，給你穿？
And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 又甚麼時候見你病了，或是在監裏，來看你呢？』
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 王要回答說：『我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。』
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 因為我餓了，你們不給我吃，渴了，你們不給我喝；
For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 我作客旅，你們不留我住；我赤身露體，你們不給我穿；我病了，我在監裏，你們不來看顧我。』
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 他們也要回答說：『主啊，我們甚麼時候見你餓了，或渴了，或作客旅，或赤身露體，或病了，或在監裏，不伺候你呢？』
Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 王要回答說：『我實在告訴你們，這些事你們既不做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上，就是不做在我身上了。』
Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
