Mattheum 25
1 Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus: quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso, et sponsae.
Then may the kingdom of heaven be compared to ten virgins, who went out with their lamps to meet the bridegroom.
2 Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes:
Of these, five were prudent and five foolish.
3 sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum:
The foolish took their lamps, but carried no oil with them.
4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus.
But the prudent, besides their lamps, carried oil in their vessels.
5 Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all became drowsy, and fell asleep.
6 Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei.
And at midnight a cry was raised, The bridegroom is coming, go out and meet him.
7 Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas.
Then all the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro: quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur.
And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
9 Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.
But the prudent answered, saying, Lest there be not enough for us and you, go rather to them who sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est ianua.
While they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis.
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Master, Master, open to us.
12 At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos.
He answered, Indeed, I say to you, I know you not.
13 Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.
Watch, therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua.
For the Son of Man is like one who intending to travel, called his servants, and committed to them his stock;
15 Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem, et profectus est statim.
to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his respective ability, and immediately set out.
16 Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque.
Then he who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five others.
17 Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo.
Likewise he who had received two, gained other two.
18 Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui.
Whereas he who had received but one, digged a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis.
After a long time, their master returned and reckoned with them.
20 Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum.
Then he who had received the five talents, came and presented five other talents, saying, Sir, you delivered to me five talents; here they are, and five other talents which I have gained.
21 Ait illi dominus eius: Euge serve bone, et fidelis, quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam, intra in gaudium domini tui.
His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
22 Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait: Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum.
He, also, who had received the two talents, advancing said, Sir, you delivered to me two talents: here they are, and two other talents which I have gained.
23 Ait illi dominus eius: Euge serve bone, et fidelis, quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam, intra in gaudium domini tui.
His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
24 Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es, metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti:
Then came he also who had received the talent, and said, Sir, I know that you are a severe man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered;
25 et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est.
being therefore afraid, I hid your talent under ground; but now I restore you your own.
26 Respondens autem dominus eius, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi:
His master answering, said to him, Malignant and slothful servant, did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered?
27 oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, ut veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.
Should you not then have given my money to the bankers, that, at my return, I might have received it with interest?
28 Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei, qui habet decem talenta.
Take from him, therefore, the talent, and give it to him who has ten:
29 omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem, qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo.
for to every one that has, more shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
30 Et inutilem servum eiicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
And thrust out this unprofitable servant into darkness, where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua, et omnes angeli eius cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae:
Now when the Son of Man shall come in his glory, accompanied by all the angels, and shall be seated on his glorious throne;
32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hoedis:
then shall all the nations be assembled before him; and out of them he will separate the good from the bad, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hoedos autem a sinistris.
The sheep he will set at his right hand, and the goats at his left.
34 Tunc dicet rex his, qui a dextris eius erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi.
Then will the King say to those at his right hand: Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis me:
for I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you lodged me; I was a stranger, and you lodged me;
36 nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad me.
I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick and you assisted me; I was in prison, and you visited me.
37 Tunc respondebunt ei iusti, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum?
Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and feed thee; or thirsty, and give thee drink?
38 quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te: aut nudum, et cooperuimus te?
When did we see thee a stranger, and lodged thee; or naked, and clothed thee?
39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum: aut in carcere, et venimus ad te?
When did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?
40 Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.
The King will reply to them, Indeed, I say to you, that inasmuch as you have done this to any the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me.
41 Tunc dicet et his, qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis eius. (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say to those at his left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
42 esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et non desistis mihi potum:
for I was hungry, but you gave me no food; thirsty, but you gave me no drink;
43 hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me.
I was a stranger, but you did not lodge me; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, but you did not visit me.
44 Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi?
Then they also will answer, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not assist thee?
45 Tunc respondebit illis dicens: Amen dico vobis: Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis.
Then he will reply to them, saying, Indeed, I say to you, that inasmuch as you did it not to any the least of these, you did it not to me.
