< Matthew 25 >

1 'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܕܡܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܥܤܪ ܒܬܘܠܢ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܡܦܕܝܗܝܢ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܐܘܪܥ ܚܬܢܐ ܘܟܠܬܐ
2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
ܚܡܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܚܟܝܡܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܚܡܫ ܤܟܠܢ
3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
ܘܗܢܝܢ ܤܟܠܬܐ ܢܤܒ ܠܡܦܕܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܥܡܗܝܢ ܡܫܚܐ
4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
ܗܢܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܟܝܡܬܐ ܢܤܒ ܡܫܚܐ ܒܡܐܢܐ ܥܡ ܠܡܦܕܝܗܝܢ
5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
ܟܕ ܐܘܚܪ ܕܝܢ ܚܬܢܐ ܢܡ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܕܡܟ
6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
ܘܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܩܥܬܐ ܗܐ ܚܬܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܦܘܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ
7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܬܩܢ ܠܡܦܕܝܗܝܢ
8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
ܐܡܪܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܝܢ ܤܟܠܬܐ ܠܚܟܝܡܬܐ ܗܒܝܢ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܡܫܚܟܝܢ ܕܗܐ ܕܥܟܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܕܝܢ
9 and the prudent answered, saying — Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.
ܥܢܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܟܝܡܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܦܩ ܠܢ ܘܠܟܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܙܠܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܙܒܢܝܢ ܠܟܝܢ
10 'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;
ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܠܡܙܒܢ ܐܬܐ ܚܬܢܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠ ܥܡܗ ܠܒܝܬ ܚܠܘܠܐ ܘܐܬܬܚܕ ܬܪܥܐ
11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
ܒܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܝ ܐܦ ܗܢܝܢ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܦܬܚ ܠܢ
12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝܢ
13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܠܫܥܬܐ
14 'For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܙܩ ܩܪܐ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܢܝܢܗ
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.
ܐܝܬ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܚܡܫ ܟܟܪܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܚܙܩ ܡܚܕܐ
16 'And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
ܐܙܠ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܢܤܒ ܚܡܫ ܟܟܪܝܢ ܐܬܬܓܪ ܒܗܝܢ ܘܝܬܪ ܚܡܫ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ
17 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
ܘܗܟܘܬ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܐܬܬܓܪ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ
18 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܚܕܐ ܐܙܠ ܚܦܪ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܛܫܝ ܟܤܦܐ ܕܡܪܗ
19 'And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
ܒܬܪ ܕܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܪܗܘܢ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܤܒ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܚܘܫܒܢܐ
20 and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, 'Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.
ܘܩܪܒ ܗܘ ܕܢܤܒ ܗܘܐ ܚܡܫ ܟܟܪܝܢ ܘܩܪܒ ܚܡܫ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܚܡܫ ܟܟܪܝܢ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܗܐ ܚܡܫ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܐܬܬܓܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ
21 'And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܗ ܐܝܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܥܠ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܠ ܤܓܝ ܐܩܝܡܟ ܥܘܠ ܠܚܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܟ
22 'And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them.
ܘܩܪܒ ܗܘ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܟܪܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܟܪܝܢ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܗܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܐܬܬܓܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ
23 'His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܗ ܐܝܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܥܠ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܠ ܤܓܝ ܐܩܝܡܟ ܥܘܠ ܠܚܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܟ
24 'And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;
ܩܪܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܢܤܒ ܚܕܐ ܟܟܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ ܘܡܟܢܫ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܕܪܬ
25 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
ܘܕܚܠܬ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܛܫܝܬܗ ܟܟܪܟ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܕܝܠܟ
26 'And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!
ܥܢܐ ܡܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܥܒܕܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܚܒܢܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܚܨܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ ܘܡܟܢܫ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܕܪܬ
27 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܕܬܪܡܐ ܟܤܦܝ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܢܐ ܘܬܒܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܡ ܪܒܝܬܗ
28 'Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
ܤܒܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܗ ܟܟܪܐ ܘܗܒܘܗ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܥܤܪ ܟܟܪܝܢ
29 for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;
ܠܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܢܬܬܘܤܦ ܠܗ ܘܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗ
30 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
ܘܠܥܒܕܐ ܒܛܝܠܐ ܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܚܫܘܟܐ ܒܪܝܐ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܝܐ ܘܚܘܪܩ ܫܢܐ
31 'And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;
ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܥܡܗ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܒ ܥܠ ܬܪܢܘܤ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ
32 and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,
ܘܢܬܟܢܫܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܢܦܪܫ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܐܝܟ ܪܥܝܐ ܕܡܦܪܫ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܓܕܝܐ
33 and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
ܘܢܩܝܡ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܓܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ
34 'Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܬܘ ܒܪܝܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܝ ܝܪܬܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ
35 for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;
ܟܦܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܘܝܗܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܨܗܝܬ ܘܐܫܩܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܟܢܫܬܘܢܢܝ
36 naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
ܥܪܛܠܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܟܤܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܤܥܪܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܐܬܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ
37 'Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܡܪܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܚܙܝܢܟ ܕܟܦܢ ܐܢܬ ܘܬܪܤܝܢܟ ܐܘ ܕܨܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܫܩܝܢܟ
38 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
ܘܐܡܬܝ ܚܙܝܢܟ ܕܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܢܫܢܟ ܐܘ ܕܥܪܛܠܝ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܤܝܢܟ
39 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
ܘܐܡܬܝ ܚܙܝܢܟ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܟ
40 'And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren — the least — to me ye did [it].
ܘܥܢܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ
41 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܤܡܠܗ ܙܠܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܝ ܠܝܛܐ ܠܢܘܪܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܗܝ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ ܠܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܘܠܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ (aiōnios g166)
42 for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
ܟܦܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܘܨܗܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܩܝܬܘܢܢܝ
43 a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.
ܘܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܟܢܫܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܥܪܛܠܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܟܤܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܟܪܝܗܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܤܥܪܬܘܢܢܝ
44 'Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܥܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܪܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܚܙܝܢܟ ܟܦܢܐ ܐܘ ܨܗܝܐ ܐܘ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܥܪܛܠܝܐ ܐܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܫܢܟ
45 'Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of these, the least, ye did [it] not to me.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܥܢܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܝ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ
46 And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.' (aiōnios g166)
ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
