Κατα Ματθαιον 25
1 τοτε ομοιωθησεται η βασιλεια των ουρανων δεκα παρθενοισ αιτινεσ λαβουσαι τασ λαμπαδασ αυτων εξηλθον εισ απαντησιν του νυμφιου
Then, will the kingdom of the heavens become like unto, ten virgins, who, taking their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 πεντε δε ησαν εξ αυτων φρονιμοι και αι πεντε μωραι
Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent.
3 αιτινεσ μωραι λαβουσαι τασ λαμπαδασ αυτων ουκ ελαβον μεθ εαυτων ελαιον
For, the foolish—though they took, their torches, took not with them, oil:
4 αι δε φρονιμοι ελαβον ελαιον εν τοισ αγγειοισ αυτων μετα των λαμπαδων αυτων
But, the prudent, took oil in their vessels, with their torches.
5 χρονιζοντοσ δε του νυμφιου ενυσταξαν πασαι και εκαθευδον
Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.
6 μεσησ δε νυκτοσ κραυγη γεγονεν ιδου ο νυμφιοσ ερχεται εξερχεσθε εισ απαντησιν αυτου
And, at midnight, an outcry hath been made—Lo! the bridegroom! Be going forth to meet him!
7 τοτε ηγερθησαν πασαι αι παρθενοι εκειναι και εκοσμησαν τασ λαμπαδασ αυτων
Then, arose all those virgins, and trimmed their torches.
8 αι δε μωραι ταισ φρονιμοισ ειπον δοτε ημιν εκ του ελαιου υμων οτι αι λαμπαδεσ ημων σβεννυνται
And, the foolish, unto the prudent, said—Give us of your oil, because, our torches, are going out.
9 απεκριθησαν δε αι φρονιμοι λεγουσαι μηποτε ουκ αρκεση ημιν και υμιν πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προσ τουσ πωλουντασ και αγορασατε εαυταισ
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
10 απερχομενων δε αυτων αγορασαι ηλθεν ο νυμφιοσ και αι ετοιμοι εισηλθον μετ αυτου εισ τουσ γαμουσ και εκλεισθη η θυρα
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.
11 υστερον δε ερχονται και αι λοιπαι παρθενοι λεγουσαι κυριε κυριε ανοιξον ημιν
But, afterwards, came the other virgins also, saying—Lord! Lord! open unto us!
12 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ οιδα υμασ
And, he, answering, said—Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.
13 γρηγορειτε ουν οτι ουκ οιδατε την ημεραν ουδε την ωραν εν η ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ερχεται
Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.
14 ωσπερ γαρ ανθρωποσ αποδημων εκαλεσεν τουσ ιδιουσ δουλουσ και παρεδωκεν αυτοισ τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
For it is, just as a man, who, going from home, called his own servants, and delivered up to them his substance;
15 και ω μεν εδωκεν πεντε ταλαντα ω δε δυο ω δε εν εκαστω κατα την ιδιαν δυναμιν και απεδημησεν ευθεωσ
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.
16 πορευθεισ δε ο τα πεντε ταλαντα λαβων ειργασατο εν αυτοισ και εποιησεν αλλα πεντε ταλαντα
Straightway, he who, the five talents, had received, went and traded with them, and gained other five:
17 ωσαυτωσ και ο τα δυο εκερδησεν και αυτοσ αλλα δυο
Likewise, he of the two, gained other two:
18 ο δε το εν λαβων απελθων ωρυξεν εν τη γη και απεκρυψεν το αργυριον του κυριου αυτου
But, he who the one had received, went away, and digged up ground, and hid the silver of his lord.
19 μετα δε χρονον πολυν ερχεται ο κυριοσ των δουλων εκεινων και συναιρει μετ αυτων λογον
And, after a long time, cometh the lord of those servants, and reckoneth with them.
20 και προσελθων ο τα πεντε ταλαντα λαβων προσηνεγκεν αλλα πεντε ταλαντα λεγων κυριε πεντε ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκασ ιδε αλλα πεντε ταλαντα εκερδησα επ αυτοισ
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.
21 εφη δε αυτω ο κυριοσ αυτου ευ δουλε αγαθε και πιστε επι ολιγα ησ πιστοσ επι πολλων σε καταστησω εισελθε εισ την χαραν του κυριου σου
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.
22 προσελθων δε και ο τα δυο ταλαντα λαβων ειπεν κυριε δυο ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκασ ιδε αλλα δυο ταλαντα εκερδησα επ αυτοισ
He also of the two talents, coming forward, said—Lord! two talents, to me, didst thou deliver up: See! other two talents, I gained.
23 εφη αυτω ο κυριοσ αυτου ευ δουλε αγαθε και πιστε επι ολιγα ησ πιστοσ επι πολλων σε καταστησω εισελθε εισ την χαραν του κυριου σου
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.
24 προσελθων δε και ο το εν ταλαντον ειληφωσ ειπεν κυριε εγνων σε οτι σκληροσ ει ανθρωποσ θεριζων οπου ουκ εσπειρασ και συναγων οθεν ου διεσκορπισασ
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;
25 και φοβηθεισ απελθων εκρυψα το ταλαντον σου εν τη γη ιδε εχεισ το σον
And, overcome with fear, I went away, and hid thy talent in the ground: See! thou hast what is thine!
26 αποκριθεισ δε ο κυριοσ αυτου ειπεν αυτω πονηρε δουλε και οκνηρε ηδεισ οτι θεριζω οπου ουκ εσπειρα και συναγω οθεν ου διεσκορπισα
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?
27 εδει ουν σε βαλειν το αργυριον μου τοισ τραπεζιταισ και ελθων εγω εκομισαμην αν το εμον συν τοκω
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.
28 αρατε ουν απ αυτου το ταλαντον και δοτε τω εχοντι τα δεκα ταλαντα
Therefore take away, from him, the talent, and give unto him that hath the ten talents;
29 τω γαρ εχοντι παντι δοθησεται και περισσευθησεται απο δε του μη εχοντοσ και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
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:
30 και τον αχρειον δουλον εκβαλετε εισ το σκοτοσ το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
And, the unprofitable servant, cast ye forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
31 οταν δε ελθη ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου εν τη δοξη αυτου και παντεσ οι αγιοι αγγελοι μετ αυτου τοτε καθισει επι θρονου δοξησ αυτου
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;
32 και συναχθησεται εμπροσθεν αυτου παντα τα εθνη και αφοριει αυτουσ απ αλληλων ωσπερ ο ποιμην αφοριζει τα προβατα απο των εριφων
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, —
33 και στησει τα μεν προβατα εκ δεξιων αυτου τα δε εριφια εξ ευωνυμων
And he will set, the sheep, indeed, on his right hand, but, the goats, on the left.
34 τοτε ερει ο βασιλευσ τοισ εκ δεξιων αυτου δευτε οι ευλογημενοι του πατροσ μου κληρονομησατε την ητοιμασμενην υμιν βασιλειαν απο καταβολησ κοσμου
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;
35 επεινασα γαρ και εδωκατε μοι φαγειν εδιψησα και εποτισατε με ξενοσ ημην και συνηγαγετε με
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,
36 γυμνοσ και περιεβαλετε με ησθενησα και επεσκεψασθε με εν φυλακη ημην και ηλθετε προσ με
Naked, and ye clothed me, sick, and ye visited me, in prison, was I, and ye came unto me.
37 τοτε αποκριθησονται αυτω οι δικαιοι λεγοντεσ κυριε ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα και εθρεψαμεν η διψωντα και εποτισαμεν
Then, will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord! when, saw we thee—hungry, and fed thee, or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ξενον και συνηγαγομεν η γυμνον και περιεβαλομεν
And, when, saw we thee—a stranger, and took thee home, or naked, and clothed thee?
39 ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ασθενη η εν φυλακη και ηλθομεν προσ σε
And, when, saw we thee—sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 και αποκριθεισ ο βασιλευσ ερει αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν εφ οσον εποιησατε ενι τουτων των αδελφων μου των ελαχιστων εμοι εποιησατε
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.
41 τοτε ερει και τοισ εξ ευωνυμων πορευεσθε απ εμου οι κατηραμενοι εισ το πυρ το αιωνιον το ητοιμασμενον τω διαβολω και τοισ αγγελοισ αυτου (aiōnios g166)
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)
42 επεινασα γαρ και ουκ εδωκατε μοι φαγειν εδιψησα και ουκ εποτισατε με
For I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat, [and] I was thirsty, and ye gave me not to drink,
43 ξενοσ ημην και ου συνηγαγετε με γυμνοσ και ου περιεβαλετε με ασθενησ και εν φυλακη και ουκ επεσκεψασθε με
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.
44 τοτε αποκριθησονται και αυτοι λεγοντεσ κυριε ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα η διψωντα η ξενον η γυμνον η ασθενη η εν φυλακη και ου διηκονησαμεν σοι
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?
45 τοτε αποκριθησεται αυτοισ λεγων αμην λεγω υμιν εφ οσον ουκ εποιησατε ενι τουτων των ελαχιστων ουδε εμοι εποιησατε
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.
