Matthew 25
1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
yā daśa kanyāḥ pradīpān gṛhlatyo varaṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahiritāḥ, tābhistadā svargīyarājyasya sādṛśyaṁ bhaviṣyati|
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
tāsāṁ kanyānāṁ madhye pañca sudhiyaḥ pañca durdhiya āsan|
3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
yā durdhiyastāḥ pradīpān saṅge gṛhītvā tailaṁ na jagṛhuḥ,
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
kintu sudhiyaḥ pradīpān pātreṇa tailañca jagṛhuḥ|
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
anantaraṁ vare vilambite tāḥ sarvvā nidrāviṣṭā nidrāṁ jagmuḥ|
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
anantaram arddharātre paśyata vara āgacchati, taṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahiryāteti janaravāt
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
tāḥ sarvvāḥ kanyā utthāya pradīpān āsādayituṁ ārabhanta|
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
tato durdhiyaḥ sudhiya ūcuḥ, kiñcit tailaṁ datta, pradīpā asmākaṁ nirvvāṇāḥ|
9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you. Go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
kintu sudhiyaḥ pratyavadan, datte yuṣmānasmāṁśca prati tailaṁ nyūnībhavet, tasmād vikretṛṇāṁ samīpaṁ gatvā svārthaṁ tailaṁ krīṇīta|
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
tadā tāsu kretuṁ gatāsu vara ājagāma, tato yāḥ sajjitā āsan, tāstena sākaṁ vivāhīyaṁ veśma praviviśuḥ|
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
anantaraṁ dvāre ruddhe aparāḥ kanyā āgatya jagaduḥ, he prabho, he prabho, asmān prati dvāraṁ mocaya|
12 But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
kintu sa uktavān, tathyaṁ vadāmi, yuṣmānahaṁ na vedmi|
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
ato jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata, manujasutaḥ kasmin dine kasmin daṇḍe vāgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rna jñāyate|
14 "For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
aparaṁ sa etādṛśaḥ kasyacit puṁsastulyaḥ, yo dūradeśaṁ prati yātrākāle nijadāsān āhūya teṣāṁ svasvasāmarthyānurūpam
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
ekasmin mudrāṇāṁ pañca poṭalikāḥ anyasmiṁśca dve poṭalike aparasmiṁśca poṭalikaikām itthaṁ pratijanaṁ samarpya svayaṁ pravāsaṁ gatavān|
16 Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
anantaraṁ yo dāsaḥ pañca poṭalikāḥ labdhavān, sa gatvā vāṇijyaṁ vidhāya tā dviguṇīcakāra|
17 In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
yaśca dāso dve poṭalike alabhata, sopi tā mudrā dviguṇīcakāra|
18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
kintu yo dāsa ekāṁ poṭalikāṁ labdhavān, sa gatvā bhūmiṁ khanitvā tanmadhye nijaprabhostā mudrā gopayāñcakāra|
19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
tadanantaraṁ bahutithe kāle gate teṣāṁ dāsānāṁ prabhurāgatya tairdāsaiḥ samaṁ gaṇayāñcakāra|
20 And he who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained another five talents.'
tadānīṁ yaḥ pañca poṭalikāḥ prāptavān sa tā dviguṇīkṛtamudrā ānīya jagāda; he prabho, bhavatā mayi pañca poṭalikāḥ samarpitāḥ, paśyatu, tā mayā dviguṇīkṛtāḥ|
21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
tadānīṁ tasya prabhustamuvāca, he uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyosi, stokena viśvāsyo jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahuvittādhipaṁ karomi, tvaṁ svaprabhoḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
22 "And he also who had the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'
tato yena dve poṭalike labdhe sopyāgatya jagāda, he prabho, bhavatā mayi dve poṭalike samarpite, paśyatu te mayā dviguṇīkṛte|
23 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
tena tasya prabhustamavocat, he uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyosi, stokena viśvāsyo jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahudraviṇādhipaṁ karomi, tvaṁ nijaprabhoḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
24 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
anantaraṁ ya ekāṁ poṭalikāṁ labdhavān, sa etya kathitavān, he prabho, tvāṁ kaṭhinanaraṁ jñātavān, tvayā yatra noptaṁ, tatraiva kṛtyate, yatra ca na kīrṇaṁ, tatraiva saṁgṛhyate|
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
atohaṁ saśaṅkaḥ san gatvā tava mudrā bhūmadhye saṁgopya sthāpitavān, paśya, tava yat tadeva gṛhāṇa|
26 "But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.
tadā tasya prabhuḥ pratyavadat re duṣṭālasa dāsa, yatrāhaṁ na vapāmi, tatra chinadmi, yatra ca na kirāmi, tatreva saṁgṛhlāmīti cedajānāstarhi
27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
vaṇikṣu mama vittārpaṇaṁ tavocitamāsīt, yenāhamāgatya vṛdvyā sākaṁ mūlamudrāḥ prāpsyam|
28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
atosmāt tāṁ poṭalikām ādāya yasya daśa poṭalikāḥ santi tasminnarpayata|
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
yena vardvyate tasminnaivārpiṣyate, tasyaiva ca bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yena na vardvyate, tasyāntike yat kiñcana tiṣṭhati, tadapi punarneṣyate|
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
aparaṁ yūyaṁ tamakarmmaṇyaṁ dāsaṁ nītvā yatra sthāne krandanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañca vidyete, tasmin bahirbhūtatamasi nikṣipata|
31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
yadā manujasutaḥ pavitradūtān saṅginaḥ kṛtvā nijaprabhāvenāgatya nijatejomaye siṁhāsane nivekṣyati,
32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
tadā tatsammukhe sarvvajātīyā janā saṁmeliṣyanti| tato meṣapālako yathā chāgebhyo'vīn pṛthak karoti tathā sopyekasmādanyam itthaṁ tān pṛthaka kṛtvāvīn
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
dakṣiṇe chāgāṁśca vāme sthāpayiṣyati|
34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
tataḥ paraṁ rājā dakṣiṇasthitān mānavān vadiṣyati, āgacchata mattātasyānugrahabhājanāni, yuṣmatkṛta ā jagadārambhat yad rājyam āsāditaṁ tadadhikuruta|
35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
yato bubhukṣitāya mahyaṁ bhojyam adatta, pipāsitāya peyamadatta, videśinaṁ māṁ svasthānamanayata,
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
vastrahīnaṁ māṁ vasanaṁ paryyadhāpayata, pīḍītaṁ māṁ draṣṭumāgacchata, kārāsthañca māṁ vīkṣituma āgacchata|
37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
tadā dhārmmikāḥ prativadiṣyanti, he prabho, kadā tvāṁ kṣudhitaṁ vīkṣya vayamabhojayāma? vā pipāsitaṁ vīkṣya apāyayāma?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
kadā vā tvāṁ videśinaṁ vilokya svasthānamanayāma? kadā vā tvāṁ nagnaṁ vīkṣya vasanaṁ paryyadhāpayāma?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
kadā vā tvāṁ pīḍitaṁ kārāsthañca vīkṣya tvadantikamagacchāma?
40 "The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
tadānīṁ rājā tān prativadiṣyati, yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, mamaiteṣāṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ madhye kañcanaikaṁ kṣudratamaṁ prati yad akuruta, tanmāṁ pratyakuruta|
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
paścāt sa vāmasthitān janān vadiṣyati, re śāpagrastāḥ sarvve, śaitāne tasya dūtebhyaśca yo'nantavahnirāsādita āste, yūyaṁ madantikāt tamagniṁ gacchata| (aiōnios g166)
42 for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
yato kṣudhitāya mahyamāhāraṁ nādatta, pipāsitāya mahyaṁ peyaṁ nādatta,
43 I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'
videśinaṁ māṁ svasthānaṁ nānayata, vasanahīnaṁ māṁ vasanaṁ na paryyadhāpayata, pīḍitaṁ kārāsthañca māṁ vīkṣituṁ nāgacchata|
44 "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'
tadā te prativadiṣyanti, he prabho, kadā tvāṁ kṣudhitaṁ vā pipāsitaṁ vā videśinaṁ vā nagnaṁ vā pīḍitaṁ vā kārāsthaṁ vīkṣya tvāṁ nāsevāmahi?
45 "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'
tadā sa tān vadiṣyati, tathyamahaṁ yuṣmān bravīmi, yuṣmābhireṣāṁ kañcana kṣodiṣṭhaṁ prati yannākāri, tanmāṁ pratyeva nākāri|
