Mattheum 25
1 Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus: quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso, et sponsae.
Thanne the kyngdoom of heuenes schal be lijk to ten virgyns, whiche token her laumpis, and wenten out ayens the hosebonde and the wijf;
2 Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes:
and fyue of hem weren foolis, and fyue prudent.
3 sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum:
But the fyue foolis token her laumpis, and token not oile with hem;
4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus.
but the prudent token oile in her vessels with the laumpis.
5 Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt.
And whilis the hosebonde tariede, alle thei nappiden and slepten.
6 Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei.
But at mydnyyt a cryy was maad, Lo! the spouse cometh, go ye oute to mete with him.
7 Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas.
Thanne alle tho virgyns risen vp, and araieden her laumpis.
8 Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro: quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur.
And the foolis seiden to the wise, Yyue ye to vs of youre oile, for oure laumpis ben quenchid.
9 Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.
The prudent answeriden, and seiden, Lest perauenture it suffice not to vs and to you, go ye rather to men that sellen, and bie to you.
10 Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est ianua.
And while thei wenten for to bie, the spouse cam; and tho that weren redi, entreden with him to the weddyngis; and the yate was schit.
11 Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis.
And at the last the othere virgyns camen, and seiden, Lord, lord, opene to vs.
12 At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos.
And he answeride, and seide, Treuli Y seie to you, Y knowe you not.
13 Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.
Therfor wake ye, for ye witen not the dai ne the our.
14 Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua.
For as a man that goith in pilgrimage, clepide hise seruauntis, and bitook to hem hise goodis;
15 Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem, et profectus est statim.
and to oon he yaf fyue talentis, and to another tweyne, and to another oon, to ech after his owne vertu; and wente forth anoon.

And he that hadde fyue besauntis, wente forth, and wrouyte in hem, and wan othere fyue.
17 Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo.

18 Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui.
But he that hadde takun oon, yede forth, and dalf in to the erthe, and hidde the money of his lord.
19 Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis.
But after long tyme, the lord of tho seruauntis cam, and rekenede with hem.
20 Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum.
And he that hadde takun fyue besauntis, cam, and brouyte othere fyue, and seide, Lord, thou bytokist to me fyue besauntis, loo! Y haue getun aboue fyue othere.
21 Ait illi dominus eius: Euge serve bone, et fidelis, quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam, intra in gaudium domini tui.

24 Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es, metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti:
But he that hadde takun o besaunt, cam, and seide, Lord, Y woot that thou art an hard man; thou repist where thou hast not sowe, and thou gederist togidere where thou hast not spred abrood;
25 et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est.
and Y dredynge wente, and hidde thi besaunt in the erthe; lo! thou hast that that is thin.
26 Respondens autem dominus eius, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi:
His lord answeride, and seide to hym, Yuel seruaunt and slowe, wistist thou that Y repe where Y sewe not, and gadir to gidere where Y spredde not abrood?
27 oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, ut veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.
Therfor it bihofte thee to bitake my money to chaungeris, that whanne Y cam, Y schulde resseyue that that is myn with vsuris.
28 Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei, qui habet decem talenta.

29 omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem, qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo.
For to euery man that hath me schal yyue, and he schal encreese; but fro hym that hath not, also that that hym semeth to haue, schal be taken awey fro him.
30 Et inutilem servum eiicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
And caste ye out the vnprofitable seruaunt in to vtmer derknessis; ther schal be wepyng, and gryntyng of teeth.
31 Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua, et omnes angeli eius cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae:
Whanne mannus sone schal come in his maieste, and alle hise aungels with hym, thanne he schal sitte on the sege of his maieste;
32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hoedis:
and alle folkis schulen be gaderid bifor hym,
33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hoedos autem a sinistris.
and he schal departe hem atwynne, as a scheeperde departith scheep from kidis; and he schal sette the scheep on his riythalf, and the kidis on the lefthalf.
34 Tunc dicet rex his, qui a dextris eius erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi.
Thanne the kyng schal seie to hem, that schulen be on his riythalf, Come ye, the blessid of my fadir, take ye in possessioun the kyngdoom maad redi to you fro the makyng of the world.
35 esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis me:
For Y hungride, and ye yauen me to ete; Y thristide, and ye yauen me to drynke; Y was herboreles, and ye herboriden me;
36 nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad me.
nakid, and ye hiliden me; sijk, and ye visitiden me; Y was in prisoun, and ye camen to me.
37 Tunc respondebunt ei iusti, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum?
Thanne iust men schulen answere to hym, and seie, Lord, whanne siyen we thee hungry, and we fedden thee; thristi, and we yauen to thee drynk?

40 Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.
And the kyng answerynge schal seie to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, as longe as ye diden to oon of these my leeste britheren, ye diden 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)
Thanne the kyng schal seie also to hem, that schulen be on his lefthalf, Departe fro me, ye cursid, in to euerlastynge fijr, that is maad redi to the deuel and hise aungels. (aiōnios g166)

For Y hungride, and ye yauen not me to ete; Y thristide, and ye yauen not me to drynke;
43 hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me.
Y was herborles, and ye herberden not me; nakid, and ye keuerden not me; sijk, and in prisoun, and ye visitiden not 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?
Thanne and thei schulen answere to hym, and schulen seie, Lord, whanne sayn we thee hungrynge, or thristynge, or herboreles, or nakid, or sijk, or in prisoun, and we serueden not to thee?
