Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.
3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
9 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.
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 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.
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 at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
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, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
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 he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter
17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter, andre to.
18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
20 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.
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 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.
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 he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
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 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.
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 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.
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 being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
26 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:
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 oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og når jeg kom, da havde jeg fået mit igen med Rente.
28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
29 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.
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 the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.
31 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.
Men når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde på sin Herligheds Trone.
32 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:
Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
34 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.
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 you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you 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 you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you 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 shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, 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 covered thee?
Når så vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
40 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.
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 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)
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 you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to 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 you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit 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 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?
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 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.
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.
