< Matthew 25 >

1 “Then the kingdom of the heavens will be like ten virgins who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
Then will be likened the kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins who having taken the lamps (their own *N(k)O*) went forth to (meet *N(k)O*) the bridegroom.
2 Now five of them were prudent and five foolish.
Five now of them were foolish and (the [other] *k*) five wise;
3 Those who were foolish, taking their lamps, did not take [extra] oil with them,
(Those [who] *N(k)O*) (for *no*) foolish having taken the lamps (of them *N(k)O*) not did take with their own oil,
4 but the prudent ones took oil in their vessels along with their lamps.
but the wise took oil in the vessels (of them *k*) with the lamps (their own. *N(k)O*)
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed they all dozed and slept,
As was tarrying then the bridegroom they became drowsy all and were sleeping.
6 but at midnight there was a shout: ‘Attention! The bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him.’
At middle then of [the] night a cry there was: Behold the bridegroom (comes *k*) do go forth to meet him!
7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
Then arose all the virgins those and trimmed the lamps (their own. *N(k)O*)
8 And the foolish ones said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
And the foolish to the wise said; do give us of the oil of you, for the lamps of us are going out.
9 But the prudent ones answered saying, ‘No, in case there not be enough for you and us; instead, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.’
Answered then the wise saying; otherwise otherwise certainly (not even *no*) it may suffice for us and you. do go (now *k*) rather to those selling and do buy for yourselves.
10 But while they went to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the ones who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast—and the door was shut!
[While] are going away then they to buy came the bridegroom, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and was shut the door.
11 Later the other virgins arrived too saying, ‘Lord, lord, open for us!’
Afterward then come also the other virgins saying; lord lord, do open to us!
12 But in answer he said, ‘Assuredly I say to you, I do not know you.’
And answering he said; Amen I say to you; not I do know you.
13 Therefore, keep alert, because you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of the Man is coming.
do watch therefore, for neither do you know the day nor [know] the hour (in who son of man comes. *K*)
14 “Because the kingdom is also like a man about to go on a long journey, who called his own servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
[It is] like for a man going on a journey [who] called [his] own servants and delivered to them the possessions of him.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on the journey.
And to one indeed he gave five talents, to one however two, to one however one, to each according to the [their] own ability; and he left the region. immediately
16 So the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
Having gone (now *ko*) the [one] the five talents having received he traded with them and (he gained *N(k)O*) more five (talents; *K*)
17 So also the one who received the two gained another two as well.
Likewise (and *ko*) the [one with] the two gained (and he [gained] *k*) more two.
18 But he who received the one went off and dug in the ground and hid his lord's silver.
however one having received having gone away he dug in (in the *k*) (ground *N(k)O*) and (he hid *N(k)O*) the money of the master of him.
19 “Then, after a long time, the lord of those servants comes and settles accounts with them.
After then much time comes the master of the servants those and takes account with them.
20 “So the one who had received the five talents approached and brought five more talents saying, ‘Lord, you entrusted five talents to me; see, I gained five more talents besides them!’
And having come the [one] the five talents having received he brought to [him] other five talents saying; Master, five talents to me you did deliver; Behold more five talents I gained (upon them. *k*)
21 His lord said to him: ‘Super, you good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
was saying (now *k*) to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
22 So the one who had received the two talents also approached and said, ‘Lord, you entrusted two talents to me; see, I gained two more talents besides them!’
Having come then also the [one] with the two talents (having taken *k*) he said; Master, two talents to me you did deliver; Behold more two talents I gained (upon them. *k*)
23 His lord said to him: ‘Super, you good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
was saying to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
24 “Then he who had received the one talent also approached and said: ‘Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter.
Having come then also the one talent having received he said; Master, I knew you that hard you are a man reaping where not you did sow and gathering from where not you did scatter;
25 And being afraid I went off and hid your talent in the ground; here, take what is yours.’
And having been afraid having gone away I hid the talent of you in the ground; Behold you have what [is] yours.
26 So in answer his lord said to him: ‘You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.
answering now the master of him said to him; Wicked servant and lazy! You knew that I reap where not I sowed and I gather from where not I scattered?
27 Therefore you were obligated to deposit my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received what is mine with interest.
It was necessary you therefore to put (the coins *N(k)O*) of mine to the bankers, and having come I myself received then would my own with interest.
28 Therefore, take the talent away from him and give it to the one having the ten talents.
do take therefore from him the talent and do give [it] to the [one] having the ten talents.
29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but the one who does not have, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away from him.
For having to everyone will be given and he will have in abundance; (from *k*) the [one] however not having, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
30 And throw out the useless servant, into the darkness farthest out!’ There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And the worthless servant (do cast out *N(k)O*) into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 “When the Son of the Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on His throne of glory.
When then may come the Son of Man in the glory of Him and all the (holy *K*) angels with Him, then He will sit upon [the] throne of glory of Him,
32 And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
And (they will be gathered *N(k)O*) before Him all the nations, and He will separate them from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 And the sheep He will place on His right, but the goats on His left.
And He will set indeed the sheep on [the] right hand of Him, however the goats on [the] left.
34 Then the King will say to those on His right: ‘Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you at the foundation of the world.
Then will say the King to those on [the] right hand of Him; Come you who [are] blessed of the Father of mine, do inherit the prepared for you kingdom from [the] foundation of [the] world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in;
I hungered for and you gave Me to eat, I thirsted and you gave to drink me, a stranger I was and you took in Me,
36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me.’
naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, in prison I was and you came to Me.
37 Then the righteous will answer Him saying: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
Then will answer Him the righteous saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering and fed [You] Or thirsting and gave [You] to drink?
38 When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
When now You saw we a stranger and took [You] in Or naked and clothed [You]?
39 Or when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
When now You saw we (ailing *N(k)O*) or in prison and came to You?
40 And in answer the King will say to them, ‘Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
And answering the King will say to them; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as you did [it] to one of these the brothers of Mine of the least, to Me myself you did [it].
41 “Then He will also say to those on His left: ‘Go away from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
Then will He say also to those on [the] left; do depart from Me you who [are] cursed into the fire eternal which prepared for the devil and the angels of him. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry and you did not give me food; I was thirsty and you did not give me drink;
I hungered for and nothing you gave to Me to eat, (and *o*) I thirsted and nothing You gave to drink Me,
43 I was a stranger and you did not take me in; I was naked and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
a stranger I was and not You took in Me, naked and not you did clothe Me, sick and in prison and not did you visit Me.
44 Then they also will answer saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’
Then will answer (to him *k*) also themselves saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering or thirsting or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not did minister to You?
45 Then He will answer them saying, ‘Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to me.’
Then will He answer to them saying; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as not you did [it] to one of these the least, neither to Me myself did you.
46 And they will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (aiōnios g166)
And will go away these into punishment eternal, but the righteous into life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
