Matthew 25
1 Then, will the kingdom of the heavens become like unto, ten virgins, who, taking their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Then the kingdome of heauen shalbe likened vnto tenne virgins, which tooke their lampes, and went foorth to meete the bridegrome.
2 Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent.
And fiue of them were wise, and fiue foolish.
3 For, the foolish—though they took, their torches, took not with them, oil:
The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none oyle with them.
4 But, the prudent, took oil in their vessels, with their torches.
But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes.
5 Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.
Nowe while the bridegrome taried long, all slumbred and slept.
6 And, at midnight, an outcry hath been made—Lo! the bridegroom! Be going forth to meet him!
And at midnight there was a crie made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him.
7 Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.
8 And, the foolish, unto the prudent, said—Give us of your oil, because, our torches, are going out.
And the foolish said to the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are out.
9 But the prudent, answered, saying—Lest once, by any means, there be not enough for us and you, be going rather unto them that sell, and buy for yourselves
But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be ynough for vs and you: but goe ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues.
10 But, as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and, they who were ready, went in with him, into the marriage-feast, and, the door was locked.
And while they went to bye, the bridegrome came: and they that were readie, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.
11 But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying—Lord! Lord! open unto us!
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs.
12 And, he, answering, said—Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.
But he answered, and said, Verely I say vnto you, I knowe you not.
13 Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.
Watch therfore: for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, when the sonne of man will come.
14 For it is, just as a man, who, going from home, called his own servants, and delivered up to them his substance;
For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods.
15 And, to one, indeed, gave he five talents, and, to another, two, and, to another, one, —to each according to his particular ability, and went from home.
And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own ability, and straightway went from home.
16 Straightway, he who, the five talents, had received, went and traded with them, and gained other five:
Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents.
17 Likewise, he of the two, gained other two:
Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two.
18 But, he who the one had received, went away, and digged up ground, and hid the silver of his lord.
But he that receiued that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money.
19 And, after a long time, cometh the lord of those servants, and reckoneth with them.
But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them.
20 And he who the five talents had received, coming forward, brought other five talents, saying, —Lord! five talents, to me, thou didst deliver up: See! other five talents, I gained.
Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents.
21 His lord said unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant, —Over a few things wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy lord.
Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
22 He also of the two talents, coming forward, said—Lord! two talents, to me, didst thou deliver up: See! other two talents, I gained.
Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more.
23 His lord said unto him—Well-done! good and faithful servant, —Over a few things, wast thou faithful, over many things, will I appoint thee: Enter into the joy of thy lord.
His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
24 But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said—Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown, —and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;
Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not:
25 And, overcome with fear, I went away, and hid thy talent in the ground: See! thou hast what is thine!
I was therefore afraide, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne.
26 And his lord, answering, said unto him—O wicked servant, and cowardly, knewest thou that I reap, where I have not sown, and gather, whence I have not winnowed?
And his master answered, and said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not.
27 It was binding on thee, therefore, to cast my silver into the money-changers, —and, I, when I, came, might have obtained what was mine, with interest.
Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, and then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage.
28 Therefore take away, from him, the talent, and give unto him that hath the ten talents;
Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents.
29 For, to every one that hath, shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away from him:
For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away.
30 And, the unprofitable servant, cast ye forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Cast therefore that vnprofitable seruant into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnasshing of teeth.
31 But, whensoever the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the messengers with him, then will he sit on his throne of glory;
And when the Sonne of man commeth in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glorie,
32 And there will be gathered before him, all the nations, and he will separate them one from another, just as, the shepherd! separateth the sheep from the goats, —
And before him shalbe gathered all nations, and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shepheard separateth the sheepe from ye goates.
33 And he will set, the sheep, indeed, on his right hand, but, the goats, on the left.
And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, and the goates on the left.
34 Then, will the king say to those on his right hand: Come ye, the blessed of my Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Then shall ye king say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I hungered, and ye gave me to eat, I thirsted, and ye gave me drink, a stranger, was I, and ye took me home,
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in vnto you.
36 Naked, and ye clothed me, sick, and ye visited me, in prison, was I, and ye came unto me.
I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me.
37 Then, will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord! when, saw we thee—hungry, and fed thee, or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Then shall the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gaue thee drinke?
38 And, when, saw we thee—a stranger, and took thee home, or naked, and clothed thee?
And when sawe we thee a stranger, and tooke thee in vnto vs? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And, when, saw we thee—sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
40 And, answering, the king will say unto them: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me, ye did it.
And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethre, ye haue done it to me.
41 Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say vnto them on ye left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuill and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat, [and] I was thirsty, and ye gave me not to drink,
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me no drinke:
43 A stranger, was I, and ye took me not home, naked, and ye clothed me not, sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
I was a stranger, and ye tooke me not in vnto you: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then, will, they also, answer, saying: Lord! when saw we thee—hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and ministered not unto thee?
Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee?
45 Then, will he answer them, saying: Verily, I say unto you—Inasmuch as ye did it not, unto one of these least, neither unto me, did ye it.
Then shall he answere them, and say, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
