Matthæus 25
1 Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.
And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
For the foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them.
4 Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
And as the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!
But at midnight there was a cry, Lo! the bridegroom! go out to meet him.
7 Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9 Men de kloge svarede og sagde: Der vilde vist ikke blive nok til os og til eder; går hellere hen til Købmændene og køber til eder selv!
But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
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 buy, the bridegroom came; and they who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
11 Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us.
12 Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
But he answering said, Truly do I say to you, I know you not,
13 Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte på sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
For it will be as when a man going abroad called his own servants, and intrusted to them his property;
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 to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability, and went abroad.
16 Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter
He that had received the five talents went immediately and traded with the same, and gained five talents more.
17 Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter, andre to.
In like manner, he that had received the two gained two more.
18 Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
And after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 Og den, som havde fået 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.
And he that had received the five talents came and brought five talents more, saying, Lord, thou intrustedst to me five talents; see, I have gained five talents more.
21 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gå ind til din Herres Glæde!
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.
22 Da kom også han frem, som havde fået de to Talenter, og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig to Talenter; se, jeg har vundet to andre Talenter.
He also that had received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou intrustedst to me two talents; see, I have gained two talents more.
23 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gå ind til din Herres glæde!
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.
24 Men også han, som havde fået den ene Talent, kom frem og sagde: Herre! jeg kendte dig, at du er en hård Mand, som høster, hvor du ikke såede, og samler, hvor du ikke spredte;
Then he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee to be a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter seed;
25 og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. See! thou hast thine own.
26 Men hans Herre svarede og sagde til ham: Du onde og lade Tjener! du vidste, at jeg høster, hvor jeg ikke såede, og samler, hvor jeg ikke spredte;
But his lord answered and said to him, Wicked and slothful servant! Didst thou know that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter seed?
27 derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og når jeg kom, da havde jeg fået mit igen med Rente.
Thou oughtest then to have put my money with the money-dealers, and on my coming I should have received mine own with interest.
28 Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath the ten talents.
29 Thi enhver, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal få Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
For to every one that hath will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath will be taken away.
30 Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.
And cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
31 Men når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde på sin Herligheds Trone.
And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory,
32 Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.
and before him will be gathered all the nations; and he will separate men one from another, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
33 Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats 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 will the king say to those on his right hand, Come, ye blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom 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 hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig; jeg var syg, og I besøgte mig; jeg var i Fængsel, og I kom til mig.
naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
37 Da skulle de retfærdige svare ham og sige: Herre! når så vi dig hungrig og gave dig Mad, eller tørstig og gave dig at drikke?
Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Når så vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
or when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and come to 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 will answer and say to them, Truly do I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it to me.
41 Da skal han også sige til dem ved den venstre Side: Går bort fra mig, I forbandede! til den evige Ild, som er beredt Djævelen og hans Engle. (aiōnios g166)
Then will he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire, which is prepared for the Devil 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 hungry, and ye gave me no food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
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 took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Da skulle også de svare og sige: Herre! når så vi dig hungrig eller tørstig eller fremmed eller nøgen eller syg eller i Fængsel og tjente dig ikke?
Then will they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to 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 will he answer them, saying, Truly do I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
