Matthew 25
1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went 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 when the foolish virgins took their lamps, they did not take any oil with them.
yā durdhiyastāḥ pradīpān saṅge gṛhītvā tailaṁ na jagṛhuḥ,
4 But the wise virgins took containers of oil along with their lamps.
kintu sudhiyaḥ pradīpān pātreṇa tailañca jagṛhuḥ|
5 Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all got sleepy and slept.
anantaraṁ vare vilambite tāḥ sarvvā nidrāviṣṭā nidrāṁ jagmuḥ|
6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look, the bridegroom! Go out and meet him.'
anantaram arddharātre paśyata vara āgacchati, taṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahiryāteti janaravāt
7 Then all those virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps.
tāḥ sarvvāḥ kanyā utthāya pradīpān āsādayituṁ ārabhanta|
8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.'
tato durdhiyaḥ sudhiya ūcuḥ, kiñcit tailaṁ datta, pradīpā asmākaṁ nirvvāṇāḥ|
9 But the wise answered and said, 'Since there will not be enough for us and you, go instead to those who sell and buy some 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 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 and said, 'Master, master, open for us.'
anantaraṁ dvāre ruddhe aparāḥ kanyā āgatya jagaduḥ, he prabho, he prabho, asmān prati dvāraṁ mocaya|
12 But he answered and said, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'
kintu sa uktavān, tathyaṁ vadāmi, yuṣmānahaṁ na vedmi|
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day or the hour.
ato jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata, manujasutaḥ kasmin dine kasmin daṇḍe vāgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rna jñāyate|
14 For it is like when a man was about to go into another country. He called his own servants and gave over to them his wealth.
aparaṁ sa etādṛśaḥ kasyacit puṁsastulyaḥ, yo dūradeśaṁ prati yātrākāle nijadāsān āhūya teṣāṁ svasvasāmarthyānurūpam
15 To one of them he gave five talents, to another he gave two, and to yet another he gave one talent. Each one received an amount according to his own ability, and that man went on his journey.
ekasmin mudrāṇāṁ pañca poṭalikāḥ anyasmiṁśca dve poṭalike aparasmiṁśca poṭalikaikām itthaṁ pratijanaṁ samarpya svayaṁ pravāsaṁ gatavān|
16 The one who received the five talents went at once and invested them and made another five talents.
anantaraṁ yo dāsaḥ pañca poṭalikāḥ labdhavān, sa gatvā vāṇijyaṁ vidhāya tā dviguṇīcakāra|
17 Likewise the one who had received two talents made another two.
yaśca dāso dve poṭalike alabhata, sopi tā mudrā dviguṇīcakāra|
18 But the servant who had received one talent went away, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.
kintu yo dāsa ekāṁ poṭalikāṁ labdhavān, sa gatvā bhūmiṁ khanitvā tanmadhye nijaprabhostā mudrā gopayāñcakāra|
19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them.
tadanantaraṁ bahutithe kāle gate teṣāṁ dāsānāṁ prabhurāgatya tairdāsaiḥ samaṁ gaṇayāñcakāra|
20 The servant who had received the five talents came and brought another five talents. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five talents more.'
tadānīṁ yaḥ pañca poṭalikāḥ prāptavān sa tā dviguṇīkṛtamudrā ānīya jagāda; he prabho, bhavatā mayi pañca poṭalikāḥ samarpitāḥ, paśyatu, tā mayā dviguṇīkṛtāḥ|
21 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'
tadānīṁ tasya prabhustamuvāca, he uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyosi, stokena viśvāsyo jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahuvittādhipaṁ karomi, tvaṁ svaprabhoḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
22 The servant who had received two talents came and said, 'Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more talents.'
tato yena dve poṭalike labdhe sopyāgatya jagāda, he prabho, bhavatā mayi dve poṭalike samarpite, paśyatu te mayā dviguṇīkṛte|
23 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'
tena tasya prabhustamavocat, he uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyosi, stokena viśvāsyo jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahudraviṇādhipaṁ karomi, tvaṁ nijaprabhoḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
24 Then the servant who had received one talent came and said, 'Master, I know that you are a strict man. You reap where you did not sow, and you harvest 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, so I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have here what belongs to you.'
atohaṁ saśaṅkaḥ san gatvā tava mudrā bhūmadhye saṁgopya sthāpitavān, paśya, tava yat tadeva gṛhāṇa|
26 But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed and harvest where I have not scattered.
tadā tasya prabhuḥ pratyavadat re duṣṭālasa dāsa, yatrāhaṁ na vapāmi, tatra chinadmi, yatra ca na kirāmi, tatreva saṁgṛhlāmīti cedajānāstarhi
27 Therefore you should have given my money to the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
vaṇikṣu mama vittārpaṇaṁ tavocitamāsīt, yenāhamāgatya vṛdvyā sākaṁ mūlamudrāḥ prāpsyam|
28 Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to the servant who has ten talents.
atosmāt tāṁ poṭalikām ādāya yasya daśa poṭalikāḥ santi tasminnarpayata|
29 For to everyone who possesses, more will be given—even more abundantly. But from anyone who does not possess anything, even what he does have will be taken away.
yena vardvyate tasminnaivārpiṣyate, tasyaiva ca bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yena na vardvyate, tasyāntike yat kiñcana tiṣṭhati, tadapi punarneṣyate|
30 Throw the worthless 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 When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
yadā manujasutaḥ pavitradūtān saṅginaḥ kṛtvā nijaprabhāvenāgatya nijatejomaye siṁhāsane nivekṣyati,
32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate the people 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 place the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
dakṣiṇe chāgāṁśca vāme sthāpayiṣyati|
34 Then the King will say to those on his right hand, 'Come, you who have been blessed by 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; I was thirsty and you gave me a 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 cared for 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 and say, '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 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 Then the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, what you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me.'
tadānīṁ rājā tān prativadiṣyati, yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, mamaiteṣāṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ madhye kañcanaikaṁ kṣudratamaṁ prati yad akuruta, tanmāṁ pratyakuruta|
41 Then he will say to those on his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire that has been 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 because I was hungry, but you did not give me food; I was thirsty, but you did not give me a drink;
yato kṣudhitāya mahyamāhāraṁ nādatta, pipāsitāya mahyaṁ peyaṁ nādatta,
43 I was a stranger, but you did not take me in; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not care for me.'
videśinaṁ māṁ svasthānaṁ nānayata, vasanahīnaṁ māṁ vasanaṁ na paryyadhāpayata, pīḍitaṁ kārāsthañca māṁ vīkṣituṁ nāgacchata|
44 Then they will also answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve 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 and say, 'Truly I say to you, what you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
tadā sa tān vadiṣyati, tathyamahaṁ yuṣmān bravīmi, yuṣmābhireṣāṁ kañcana kṣodiṣṭhaṁ prati yannākāri, tanmāṁ pratyeva nākāri|
