Κατα Ματθαιον 25
1 Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἵτινες λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Πέντε δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἦσαν μωραὶ, καὶ πέντε φρόνιμοι.
And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 Αἱ γὰρ μωραὶ λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἔλαβον μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν ἔλαιον·
But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4 αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἔλαβον ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις, μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων ἑαυτῶν.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5 Χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου, ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευδον.
And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς, κραυγὴ γέγονεν, ‘Ἰδοὺ, ὁ νυμφίος!’ Ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν.
And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7 Τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι, καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπον, ‘Δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται.’
And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9 Ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι λέγουσαι, ‘Μήποτε οὐ μὴ ἀρκέσῃ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας, καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς.’
The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι, ἦλθεν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ αἱ ἕτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα.
Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 Ὕστερον δὲ ἔρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι λέγουσαι, ‘Κύριε, κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν!’
But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, ‘Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς.’
But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13 Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν ἡμέραν, οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν.
Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14 Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ἀποδημῶν, ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ἰδίους δούλους, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ.
For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 Καὶ ᾧ μὲν ἔδωκεν πέντε τάλαντα, ᾧ δὲ δύο, ᾧ δὲ ἕν, ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν εὐθέως.
And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16 Πορευθεὶς, ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν, ἠργάσατο ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκέρδησεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα.
And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17 Ὡσαύτως καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο, ἐκέρδησεν ἄλλα δύο.
And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18 Ὁ δὲ τὸ ἓν λαβὼν, ἀπελθὼν ὤρυξεν γῆν καὶ ἔκρυψεν τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ.
But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 Μετὰ δὲ πολὺν χρόνον, ἔρχεται ὁ κύριος τῶν δούλων ἐκείνων, καὶ συναίρει λόγον μετʼ αὐτῶν.
But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 Καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ, τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν, προσήνεγκεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα λέγων, ‘Κύριε, πέντε τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας, ἴδε, ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα.’
And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, ‘Εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! Ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.’
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 Προσελθὼν καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο τάλαντα εἶπεν, ‘Κύριε, δύο τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας. Ἴδε, ἄλλα δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα.’
And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23 Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, ‘Εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! Ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.’
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἓν τάλαντον εἰληφὼς εἶπεν, ‘Κύριε, ἔγνων σε, ὅτι σκληρὸς εἶ ἄνθρωπος, θερίζων ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρας, καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας.
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25 Καὶ φοβηθεὶς ἀπελθὼν, ἔκρυψα τὸ τάλαντόν σου ἐν τῇ γῇ. Ἴδε, ἔχεις τὸ σόν.’
And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ‘Πονηρὲ Δοῦλε καὶ ὀκνηρέ! ἬΙδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα;
And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 Ἔδει σε οὖν βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν, ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ.
Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 Ἄρατε οὖν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον, καὶ δότε τῷ ἔχοντι τὰ δέκα τάλαντα.
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 Τῷ γὰρ ἔχοντι παντὶ δοθήσεται καὶ περισσευθήσεται, τοῦ δὲ μὴ ἔχοντος, καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30 Καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον, ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον. Ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.’
And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι μετʼ αὐτοῦ, τότε καθίσει ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ.
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32 Καὶ συναχθήσονται ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἀλλήλων, ὥσπερ ὁ ποιμὴν ἀφορίζει τὰ πρόβατα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐρίφων.
And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33 Καὶ στήσει τὰ μὲν πρόβατα ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ ἐρίφια ἐξ εὐωνύμων.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 Τότε ἐρεῖ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, ‘Δεῦτε οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ Πατρός μου, κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 Ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἤμην καὶ συνηγάγετέ με,
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 γυμνὸς καὶ περιεβάλετέ με, ἠσθένησα καὶ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με, ἐν φυλακῇ ἤμην καὶ ἤλθατε πρός με.’
Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ οἱ δίκαιοι λέγοντες, ‘˚Κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα καὶ ἐθρέψαμεν, ἢ διψῶντα καὶ ἐποτίσαμεν;
Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 Πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ξένον καὶ συνηγάγομεν, ἢ γυμνὸν καὶ περιεβάλομεν;
And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 Πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ ἤλθομεν πρός σε;’
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Βασιλεὺς ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς, ‘Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφʼ ὅσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων, ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.’
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41 Τότε ἐρεῖ καὶ τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων, ‘Πορεύεσθε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κατηραμένοι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον, τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ. (aiōnios g166)
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ οὐκ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐδίψησα καὶ οὐκ ἐποτίσατέ με,
For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 ξένος ἤμην καὶ οὐ συνηγάγετέ με, γυμνὸς καὶ οὐ περιεβάλετέ με, ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με.’
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 Τότε ἀποκριθήσονται καὶ αὐτοὶ λέγοντες, ‘˚Κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα, ἢ διψῶντα, ἢ ξένον, ἢ γυμνὸν, ἢ ἀσθενῆ, ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοι;’
Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 Τότε ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτοῖς λέγων, ‘Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφʼ ὅσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.’
Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
