Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, My master, My master, open to us.
And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his master's money.
But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the master of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, My master, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
21 His master said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy master.
His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, My master, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
23 His master said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy master.
His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, My master, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
26 His master answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
And he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
For I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me home;
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Our master, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Then will the righteous say to him: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee home? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
And the king will answer, and say to them: Verily I Say to you, That inasmuch as ye did so to one of these my little brothers, ye did so to me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
Then will he say also to them on his left hand: Go from me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the Calumniator and his angels, (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food; and I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
and I was a stranger, and ye took me not home; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Our master, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then will they also answer and say: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Then will he answer, and say to them: Verily I say to you, That in as much as ye did not so to one of these little ones, ye did not so to me.
