Matthew 25
1 “Then will the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
yA daza kanyAH pradIpAn gRhlatyO varaM sAkSAt karttuM bahiritAH, tAbhistadA svargIyarAjyasya sAdRzyaM bhaviSyati|
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
tAsAM kanyAnAM madhyE panjca sudhiyaH panjca durdhiya Asan|
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
yA durdhiyastAH pradIpAn saggE gRhItvA tailaM na jagRhuH,
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
kintu sudhiyaH pradIpAn pAtrENa tailanjca jagRhuH|
5 And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
anantaraM varE vilambitE tAH sarvvA nidrAviSTA nidrAM jagmuH|
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
anantaram arddharAtrE pazyata vara Agacchati, taM sAkSAt karttuM bahiryAtEti janaravAt
7 Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
tAH sarvvAH kanyA utthAya pradIpAn AsAdayituM Arabhanta|
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
tatO durdhiyaH sudhiya UcuH, kinjcit tailaM datta, pradIpA asmAkaM nirvvANAH|
9 and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.
kintu sudhiyaH pratyavadan, dattE yuSmAnasmAMzca prati tailaM nyUnIbhavEt, tasmAd vikrEtRNAM samIpaM gatvA svArthaM tailaM krINIta|
10 And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feasts, and the door was shut;
tadA tAsu krEtuM gatAsu vara AjagAma, tatO yAH sajjitA Asan, tAstEna sAkaM vivAhIyaM vEzma pravivizuH|
11 and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
anantaraM dvArE ruddhE aparAH kanyA Agatya jagaduH, hE prabhO, hE prabhO, asmAn prati dvAraM mOcaya|
12 and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
kintu sa uktavAn, tathyaM vadAmi, yuSmAnahaM na vEdmi|
13 Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
atO jAgrataH santastiSThata, manujasutaH kasmin dinE kasmin daNPE vAgamiSyati, tad yuSmAbhi rna jnjAyatE|
14 For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
aparaM sa EtAdRzaH kasyacit puMsastulyaH, yO dUradEzaM prati yAtrAkAlE nijadAsAn AhUya tESAM svasvasAmarthyAnurUpam
15 and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
Ekasmin mudrANAM panjca pOTalikAH anyasmiMzca dvE pOTalikE aparasmiMzca pOTalikaikAm itthaM pratijanaM samarpya svayaM pravAsaM gatavAn|
16 And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
anantaraM yO dAsaH panjca pOTalikAH labdhavAn, sa gatvA vANijyaM vidhAya tA dviguNIcakAra|
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
yazca dAsO dvE pOTalikE alabhata, sOpi tA mudrA dviguNIcakAra|
18 and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
kintu yO dAsa EkAM pOTalikAM labdhavAn, sa gatvA bhUmiM khanitvA tanmadhyE nijaprabhOstA mudrA gOpayAnjcakAra|
19 And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
tadanantaraM bahutithE kAlE gatE tESAM dAsAnAM prabhurAgatya tairdAsaiH samaM gaNayAnjcakAra|
20 and he who received the five talents, having come, brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me; behold, I gained five other talents besides them.
tadAnIM yaH panjca pOTalikAH prAptavAn sa tA dviguNIkRtamudrA AnIya jagAda; hE prabhO, bhavatA mayi panjca pOTalikAH samarpitAH, pazyatu, tA mayA dviguNIkRtAH|
21 And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
tadAnIM tasya prabhustamuvAca, hE uttama vizvAsya dAsa, tvaM dhanyOsi, stOkEna vizvAsyO jAtaH, tasmAt tvAM bahuvittAdhipaM karOmi, tvaM svaprabhOH sukhasya bhAgI bhava|
22 And he also, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I gained two other talents besides them.
tatO yEna dvE pOTalikE labdhE sOpyAgatya jagAda, hE prabhO, bhavatA mayi dvE pOTalikE samarpitE, pazyatu tE mayA dviguNIkRtE|
23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
tEna tasya prabhustamavOcat, hE uttama vizvAsya dAsa, tvaM dhanyOsi, stOkEna vizvAsyO jAtaH, tasmAt tvAM bahudraviNAdhipaM karOmi, tvaM nijaprabhOH sukhasya bhAgI bhava|
24 And he also who has received the one talent, having come, said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter;
anantaraM ya EkAM pOTalikAM labdhavAn, sa Etya kathitavAn, hE prabhO, tvAM kaThinanaraM jnjAtavAn, tvayA yatra nOptaM, tatraiva kRtyatE, yatra ca na kIrNaM, tatraiva saMgRhyatE|
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
atOhaM sazagkaH san gatvA tava mudrA bhUmadhyE saMgOpya sthApitavAn, pazya, tava yat tadEva gRhANa|
26 And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
tadA tasya prabhuH pratyavadat rE duSTAlasa dAsa, yatrAhaM na vapAmi, tatra chinadmi, yatra ca na kirAmi, tatrEva saMgRhlAmIti cEdajAnAstarhi
27 It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
vaNikSu mama vittArpaNaM tavOcitamAsIt, yEnAhamAgatya vRdvyA sAkaM mUlamudrAH prApsyam|
28 Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
atOsmAt tAM pOTalikAm AdAya yasya daza pOTalikAH santi tasminnarpayata|
29 for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;
yEna vardvyatE tasminnaivArpiSyatE, tasyaiva ca bAhulyaM bhaviSyati, kintu yEna na vardvyatE, tasyAntikE yat kinjcana tiSThati, tadapi punarnESyatE|
30 and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
aparaM yUyaM tamakarmmaNyaM dAsaM nItvA yatra sthAnE krandanaM dantagharSaNanjca vidyEtE, tasmin bahirbhUtatamasi nikSipata|
31 And whenever the Son of Man may come in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then He will sit on a throne of His glory;
yadA manujasutaH pavitradUtAn sagginaH kRtvA nijaprabhAvEnAgatya nijatEjOmayE siMhAsanE nivEkSyati,
32 and all the nations will be gathered together before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
tadA tatsammukhE sarvvajAtIyA janA saMmEliSyanti| tatO mESapAlakO yathA chAgEbhyO'vIn pRthak karOti tathA sOpyEkasmAdanyam itthaM tAn pRthaka kRtvAvIn
33 and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
dakSiNE chAgAMzca vAmE sthApayiSyati|
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
tataH paraM rAjA dakSiNasthitAn mAnavAn vadiSyati, Agacchata mattAtasyAnugrahabhAjanAni, yuSmatkRta A jagadArambhat yad rAjyam AsAditaM tadadhikuruta|
35 for I hungered, and you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
yatO bubhukSitAya mahyaM bhOjyam adatta, pipAsitAya pEyamadatta, vidEzinaM mAM svasthAnamanayata,
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
vastrahInaM mAM vasanaM paryyadhApayata, pIPItaM mAM draSTumAgacchata, kArAsthanjca mAM vIkSituma Agacchata|
37 Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
tadA dhArmmikAH prativadiSyanti, hE prabhO, kadA tvAM kSudhitaM vIkSya vayamabhOjayAma? vA pipAsitaM vIkSya apAyayAma?
38 And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
kadA vA tvAM vidEzinaM vilOkya svasthAnamanayAma? kadA vA tvAM nagnaM vIkSya vasanaM paryyadhApayAma?
39 And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
kadA vA tvAM pIPitaM kArAsthanjca vIkSya tvadantikamagacchAma?
40 And the King answering, will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of these My brothers—the least—you did [it] to Me.
tadAnIM rAjA tAn prativadiSyati, yuSmAnahaM satyaM vadAmi, mamaitESAM bhrAtRNAM madhyE kanjcanaikaM kSudratamaM prati yad akuruta, tanmAM pratyakuruta|
41 Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Go from Me, the cursed, into the continuous fire that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
pazcAt sa vAmasthitAn janAn vadiSyati, rE zApagrastAH sarvvE, zaitAnE tasya dUtEbhyazca yO'nantavahnirAsAdita AstE, yUyaM madantikAt tamagniM gacchata| (aiōnios g166)
42 for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
yatO kSudhitAya mahyamAhAraM nAdatta, pipAsitAya mahyaM pEyaM nAdatta,
43 I was a stranger, and you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after Me.
vidEzinaM mAM svasthAnaM nAnayata, vasanahInaM mAM vasanaM na paryyadhApayata, pIPitaM kArAsthanjca mAM vIkSituM nAgacchata|
44 Then they will answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?
tadA tE prativadiSyanti, hE prabhO, kadA tvAM kSudhitaM vA pipAsitaM vA vidEzinaM vA nagnaM vA pIPitaM vA kArAsthaM vIkSya tvAM nAsEvAmahi?
45 Then will He answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] not to one of these, the least, you did [it] not to Me.
tadA sa tAn vadiSyati, tathyamahaM yuSmAn bravImi, yuSmAbhirESAM kanjcana kSOdiSThaM prati yannAkAri, tanmAM pratyEva nAkAri|
