Matthæus 25
1 Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
Then the kingdome of heauen shalbe likened vnto tenne virgins, which tooke their lampes, and went foorth to meete the bridegrome.
2 Men fem af dem vare Daarer, og fem kloge.
And fiue of them were wise, and fiue foolish.
3 Daarerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none oyle with them.
4 Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes.
5 Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
Nowe while the bridegrome taried long, all slumbred and slept.
6 Men ved Midnat lød der et Raab: Se, Brudgommen kommer, gaar ham i Møde!
And at midnight there was a crie made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him.
7 Da vaagnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.
8 Men Daarerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
And the foolish said to the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are out.
9 Men de kloge svarede og sagde: Der vilde vist ikke blive nok til os og til eder; gaar hellere hen til Købmændene og køber til eder selv!
But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be ynough for vs and you: but goe ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues.
10 Men medens de gik bort for at købe, kom Brudgommen, og de, som vare rede, gik ind med ham til Brylluppet; og Døren blev lukket.
And while they went to bye, the bridegrome came: and they that were readie, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.
11 Men senere komme ogsaa de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs.
12 Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
But he answered, and said, Verely I say vnto you, I knowe you not.
13 Vaager derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
Watch therfore: for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, when the sonne of man will come.
14 Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte paa sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods.
15 og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.
And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own ability, and straightway went from home.
16 Men den, som havde faaet de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter.
Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents.
17 Ligesaa vandt ogsaa den, som havde faaet de to Talenter, andre to.
Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two.
18 Men den, som havde faaet den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
But he that receiued that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money.
19 Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them.
20 Og den, som havde faaet de fem Talenter, kom frem og bragte andre fem Talenter og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig fem Talenter; se, jeg har vundet fem andre Talenter.
Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents.
21 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gaa ind til din Herres Glæde!
Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
22 Da kom ogsaa han frem, som havde faaet de to Talenter, og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig to Talenter; se, jeg har vundet to andre Talenter.
Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more.
23 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gaa ind til din Herres Glæde!
His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
24 Men ogsaa han, som havde faaet den ene Talent, kom frem og sagde: Herre! jeg kendte dig, at du er en haard Mand, som høster, hvor du ikke saaede, og samler, hvor du ikke spredte;
Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not:
25 og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
I was therefore afraide, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne.
26 Men hans Herre svarede og sagde til ham: Du onde og lade Tjener! du vidste, at jeg høster, hvor jeg ikke saaede, og samler, hvor jeg ikke spredte;
And his master answered, and said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not.
27 derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og naar jeg kom, da havde jeg faaet mit igen med Rente.
Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, and then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage.
28 Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents.
29 Thi enhver, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal faa Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away.
30 Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
Cast therefore that vnprofitable seruant into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnasshing of teeth.
31 Men naar Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde paa sin Herligheds Trone.
And when the Sonne of man commeth in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glorie,
32 Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Faarene fra Bukkene.
And before him shalbe gathered all nations, and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shepheard separateth the sheepe from ye goates.
33 Og han skal stille Faarene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, and the goates on the left.
34 Da skal Kongen sige til dem ved sin højre Side: Kommer hid, I min Faders velsignede! arver det Rige, som har været eder beredt fra Verdens Grundlæggelse.
Then shall ye king say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig at drikke; jeg var fremmed, og I toge mig hjem til eder;
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in vnto you.
36 jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig; jeg var syg, og I besøgte mig; jeg var i Fængsel, og I kom til mig.
I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me.
37 Da skulle de retfærdige svare ham og sige: Herre! naar saa vi dig hungrig og gave dig Mad, eller tørstig og gave dig at drikke?
Then shall the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gaue thee drinke?
38 Naar saa vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
And when sawe we thee a stranger, and tooke thee in vnto vs? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Naar saa vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
40 Og Kongen skal svare og sige til dem: Sandelig, siger jeg eder: Hvad I have gjort imod een af disse mine mindste Brødre, have I gjort imod mig.
And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethre, ye haue done it to me.
41 Da skal han ogsaa sige til dem ved den venstre Side: Gaar bort fra mig, I forbandede! til den evige Ild, som er beredt Djævelen og hans Engle. (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say vnto them on ye left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuill and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig ikke at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig ikke at drikke;
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me no drinke:
43 jeg var fremmed, og I toge mig ikke hjem til eder; jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig ikke; jeg var syg og i Fængsel, og I besøgte mig ikke.
I was a stranger, and ye tooke me not in vnto you: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Da skulle ogsaa de svare og sige: Herre! naar saa vi dig hungrig eller tørstig eller fremmed eller nøgen eller syg eller i Fængsel og tjente dig ikke?
Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee?
45 Da skal han svare dem og sige: Sandelig, siger jeg eder: Hvad I ikke have gjort imod een af disse mindste, have I heller ikke gjort imod mig.
Then shall he answere them, and say, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
