Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom.
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 were wise.
Men fem af dem vare Daarer, og fem kloge.
3 For the foolish, taking their lamps, took no oil with themselves:
Daarerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
4 and the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
5 But the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and slept.
Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom! go ye out to meet him.
Men ved Midnat lød der et Raab: Se, Brudgommen kommer, gaar ham i Møde!
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Da vaagnede 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 going out.
Men Daarerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
9 And the wise responded, saying, No, lest there may not be a sufficiency for us and 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; gaar hellere hen til Købmændene og køber til eder selv!
10 And they going to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who 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 And afterwards the other virgins come, saying; Lord, lord, open unto us.
Men senere komme ogsaa de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
12 And he responding, said; Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
13 Watch therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
Vaager derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
14 For as a man going away, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods,
Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte paa sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
15 to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each one according to his own ability; and departed.
og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.
16 The one having received the five talents going immediately, operated with the same, and made other five talents.
Men den, som havde faaet de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter.
17 Likewise the one having received two gained two others.
Ligesaa vandt ogsaa den, som havde faaet de to Talenter, andre to.
18 And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord.
Men den, som havde faaet den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
19 And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them.
Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
20 And the one having received the five talents coming to him brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me five talents: behold, I have gained other five talents.
Og den, som havde faaet 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, thou good and faithful servant: thou wast faithful over few things, and I will make thee ruler over many things: come 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; gaa ind til din Herres Glæde!
22 And the one having received two talents, coming to him, said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents: behold, I have gained other two talents.
Da kom ogsaa han frem, som havde faaet de to Talenter, og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig to Talenter; se, jeg har vundet to andre Talenter.
23 And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: come 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; gaa ind til din Herres Glæde!
24 And the one having received one talent also coming, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewn:
Men ogsaa han, som havde faaet den ene Talent, kom frem og sagde: Herre! jeg kendte dig, at du er en haard Mand, som høster, hvor du ikke saaede, og samler, hvor du ikke spredte;
25 and being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
26 And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn?
Men hans Herre svarede og sagde til ham: Du onde og lade Tjener! du vidste, at jeg høster, hvor jeg ikke saaede, og samler, hvor jeg ikke spredte;
27 Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product.
derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og naar jeg kom, da havde jeg faaet mit igen med Rente.
28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents.
Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
29 For to every one having it shall be given, and he shall superabound: but from the one not having shall be taken away even that which he has.
Thi enhver, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal faa Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
31 But when the Son of min may come in His glory, and all His angels with Him, then will He sit upon the throne of His glory:
Men naar Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde paa sin Herligheds Trone.
32 and all nations shall be gathered before Him: and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:
Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Faarene fra Bukkene.
33 and He will place the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left.
Og han skal stille Faarene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
34 Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been 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 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 was naked, and ye clothed me: was sick, and ye visited me: was in prison, and ye came unto 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 respond to Him, saying; Lord, when saw we thee then hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Da skulle de retfærdige svare ham og sige: Herre! naar saa vi dig hungrig og gave dig Mad, eller tørstig og gave dig at drikke?
38 And when saw we thee then a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Naar saa vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
39 But when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Naar saa vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
40 And the King responding will say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did these things to one of the least of these my brethren, you did them unto 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 will He also say unto those on the left, Depart from me, ye cursed, into eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
Da skal han ogsaa sige til dem ved den venstre Side: Gaar 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 nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing 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; was naked, and you clothed me not; was sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
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 will they also respond, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto thee?
Da skulle ogsaa de svare og sige: Herre! naar saa vi dig hungrig eller tørstig eller fremmed eller nøgen eller syg eller i Fængsel og tjente dig ikke?
45 Then will He respond to them, saying, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did not these things to one of the least of these, you did them not unto 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.
