Matthæus 25
1 Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,
2 Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.
and five were foolish.
3 Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
The foolish ones 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 as well as in their lamps.
5 Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:
6 Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!
and in the middle of the night there was a cry, The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.
7 Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
Then all the virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps:
8 Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
and the foolish ones 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 them, saying, Least there should not be enough for us and you, go rather to them that sell it, 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 that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.
11 Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
Afterwards 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 answered them, Verily I declare unto you, I do not know you.
13 Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day, nor the season in which the Son of man cometh.
14 Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte på sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
For as a man, who was going to travel abroad, called his servants, and delivered to them his stock: and to one he gave five talents,
15 og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.
to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability: and then he took his journey.
16 Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter
Now he that had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained other five talents:
17 Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter, andre to.
and likewise he that had the two, he also gained two more:
18 Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
but he who had received the one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his master's money:
19 Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
and after some time the lord of those servants cometh and settleth his account 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 who had received the five talents came and brought to him five talents more, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents, behold I have gained other five talents to them:
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!
and his lord said to him, Well done, my good and trusty servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into thy master's joy.
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.
And he also who had received the two talents came to him and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents with them:
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 in a few things, I will set thee over many, 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;
And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;
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 ground; behold, there is 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, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed;
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 to the bankers, and when I came I should have received my own with interest.
28 Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that 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 shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall 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, where there shall be weeping 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.
So when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon his glorious throne:
32 Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.
and all nations shall be assembled before Him; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats:
33 Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
and He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his 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 them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of 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 famishing, 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.
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye took care of me; I was in prison, and ye visited 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 did we see 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 did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?
39 Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited 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 replying will say unto them, Verily I declare unto you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the lest 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 everlasting fire, 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 famishing, and ye gave me nothing to eat; I was a-thirst, 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 took no care of me.
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 Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve 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 reply to them, saying, Verily I tell you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the lest of these, ye did it not to me.
