Matthew 25
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to the bridegroom's gathering.
Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish,
Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.
3 foolish women, who, having taken their lamps, took no olive oil with them.
Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
4 But the wise took olive oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
6 But at midnight a shout occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go ye forth for his gathering.
Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!
7 Then all those virgins were roused, and put their lamps in order.
Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us from your olive oil, because our lamps are going out.
Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there may not be enough for us and you. But go ye rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
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!
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut.
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.
11 But afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
12 But having answered, he said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.
Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
13 Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.
Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
14 For, like a man going on a journey, he called his own bondmen, and delivered to them the things possessed by him.
Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte på sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his personal ability, and straightaway he journeyed.
og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.
16 And having departed, the man who received the five talents worked with them, and made five other talents.
Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter
17 And likewise also the man of the two gained two others.
Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter, andre to.
18 But having departed, the man who received the one dug in the ground, and hid his lord's silver.
Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
19 Now after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes, and takes up accounting with them.
Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
20 And having come, the man who received the five talents brought five other talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered five talents to me, lo, I have gained five other talents besides them.
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.
21 And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
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!
22 And also having come, the man who received the two talents said, Lord, thou delivered two talents to me, lo, I have gained two other talents besides them.
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.
23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
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!
24 And the man who received the one talent also having come, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou are a hard man, reaping where thou did not sow, and gathering from where thou did not scatter.
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;
25 And after being afraid, having gone, I hid thy talent in the ground. Lo, thou have thine own.
og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
26 But having answered, his lord said to him, Thou evil and lazy bondman, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather from where I did not scatter.
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;
27 Thou ought therefore to have placed my silver with the bankers, and having come I would have received back my own with interest.
derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og når jeg kom, da havde jeg fået mit igen med Rente.
28 Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
29 For to every man who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
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.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.
31 But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy agents with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
Men når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde på sin Herligheds Trone.
32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.
33 And he will truly place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
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.
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in,
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;
36 naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me.
jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig; jeg var syg, og I besøgte mig; jeg var i Fængsel, og I kom til mig.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and fed thee, or thirsting, and gave thee drink?
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?
38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in, or naked, and clothed thee?
Når så vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
39 And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee?
Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
40 And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me.
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.
41 Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents. (aiōnios g166)
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)
42 For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat, I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink,
Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig ikke at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig ikke at drikke;
43 I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in, naked, and ye did not clothe me, weak, and in prison, and ye did not come to help me.
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.
44 Then they will also answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or weak, or in prison, and did not serve thee?
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?
45 Then he will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these least, ye did it not to me.
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.
