mathiḥ 25
1 yā daśa kanyāḥ pradīpān gr̥hlatyō varaṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahiritāḥ, tābhistadā svargīyarājyasya sādr̥śyaṁ bhaviṣyati|
"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 tāsāṁ kanyānāṁ madhyē pañca sudhiyaḥ pañca durdhiya āsan|
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 yā durdhiyastāḥ pradīpān saṅgē gr̥hītvā tailaṁ na jagr̥huḥ,
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 kintu sudhiyaḥ pradīpān pātrēṇa tailañca jagr̥huḥ|
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 anantaraṁ varē vilambitē tāḥ sarvvā nidrāviṣṭā nidrāṁ jagmuḥ|
Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 anantaram arddharātrē paśyata vara āgacchati, taṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahiryātēti janaravāt
But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look. The bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'
7 tāḥ sarvvāḥ kanyā utthāya pradīpān āsādayituṁ ārabhanta|
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 tatō durdhiyaḥ sudhiya ūcuḥ, kiñcit tailaṁ datta, pradīpā asmākaṁ nirvvāṇāḥ|
The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9 kintu sudhiyaḥ pratyavadan, dattē yuṣmānasmāṁśca prati tailaṁ nyūnībhavēt, tasmād vikrētr̥ṇāṁ samīpaṁ gatvā svārthaṁ tailaṁ krīṇīta|
But the wise answered, saying, 'No, there will not be enough for us and you. Go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
10 tadā tāsu krētuṁ gatāsu vara ājagāma, tatō yāḥ sajjitā āsan, tāstēna sākaṁ vivāhīyaṁ vēśma praviviśuḥ|
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
11 anantaraṁ dvārē ruddhē aparāḥ kanyā āgatya jagaduḥ, hē prabhō, hē prabhō, asmān prati dvāraṁ mōcaya|
Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
12 kintu sa uktavān, tathyaṁ vadāmi, yuṣmānahaṁ na vēdmi|
But he answered, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.'
13 atō jāgrataḥ santastiṣṭhata, manujasutaḥ kasmin dinē kasmin daṇḍē vāgamiṣyati, tad yuṣmābhi rna jñāyatē|
Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
14 aparaṁ sa ētādr̥śaḥ kasyacit puṁsastulyaḥ, yō dūradēśaṁ prati yātrākālē nijadāsān āhūya tēṣāṁ svasvasāmarthyānurūpam
"For it is like a man, going on a journey, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
15 ēkasmin mudrāṇāṁ pañca pōṭalikāḥ anyasmiṁśca dvē pōṭalikē aparasmiṁśca pōṭalikaikām itthaṁ pratijanaṁ samarpya svayaṁ pravāsaṁ gatavān|
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 anantaraṁ yō dāsaḥ pañca pōṭalikāḥ labdhavān, sa gatvā vāṇijyaṁ vidhāya tā dviguṇīcakāra|
Immediately the one who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 yaśca dāsō dvē pōṭalikē alabhata, sōpi tā mudrā dviguṇīcakāra|
In like manner he who got the two gained another two.
18 kintu yō dāsa ēkāṁ pōṭalikāṁ labdhavān, sa gatvā bhūmiṁ khanitvā tanmadhyē nijaprabhōstā mudrā gōpayāñcakāra|
But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 tadanantaraṁ bahutithē kālē gatē tēṣāṁ dāsānāṁ prabhurāgatya tairdāsaiḥ samaṁ gaṇayāñcakāra|
"Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
20 tadānīṁ yaḥ pañca pōṭalikāḥ prāptavān sa tā dviguṇīkr̥tamudrā ānīya jagāda; hē prabhō, bhavatā mayi pañca pōṭalikāḥ samarpitāḥ, paśyatu, tā mayā dviguṇīkr̥tāḥ|
And he who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained another five talents.'
21 tadānīṁ tasya prabhustamuvāca, hē uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyōsi, stōkēna viśvāsyō jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahuvittādhipaṁ karōmi, tvaṁ svaprabhōḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
22 tatō yēna dvē pōṭalikē labdhē sōpyāgatya jagāda, hē prabhō, bhavatā mayi dvē pōṭalikē samarpitē, paśyatu tē mayā dviguṇīkr̥tē|
"And he also who had the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained another two talents.'
23 tēna tasya prabhustamavōcat, hē uttama viśvāsya dāsa, tvaṁ dhanyōsi, stōkēna viśvāsyō jātaḥ, tasmāt tvāṁ bahudraviṇādhipaṁ karōmi, tvaṁ nijaprabhōḥ sukhasya bhāgī bhava|
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
24 anantaraṁ ya ēkāṁ pōṭalikāṁ labdhavān, sa ētya kathitavān, hē prabhō, tvāṁ kaṭhinanaraṁ jñātavān, tvayā yatra nōptaṁ, tatraiva kr̥tyatē, yatra ca na kīrṇaṁ, tatraiva saṁgr̥hyatē|
"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
25 atōhaṁ saśaṅkaḥ san gatvā tava mudrā bhūmadhyē saṁgōpya sthāpitavān, paśya, tava yat tadēva gr̥hāṇa|
I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.'
26 tadā tasya prabhuḥ pratyavadat rē duṣṭālasa dāsa, yatrāhaṁ na vapāmi, tatra chinadmi, yatra ca na kirāmi, tatrēva saṁgr̥hlāmīti cēdajānāstarhi
"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.
27 vaṇikṣu mama vittārpaṇaṁ tavōcitamāsīt, yēnāhamāgatya vr̥dvyā sākaṁ mūlamudrāḥ prāpsyam|
You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
28 atōsmāt tāṁ pōṭalikām ādāya yasya daśa pōṭalikāḥ santi tasminnarpayata|
Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 yēna vardvyatē tasminnaivārpiṣyatē, tasyaiva ca bāhulyaṁ bhaviṣyati, kintu yēna na vardvyatē, tasyāntikē yat kiñcana tiṣṭhati, tadapi punarnēṣyatē|
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
30 aparaṁ yūyaṁ tamakarmmaṇyaṁ dāsaṁ nītvā yatra sthānē krandanaṁ dantagharṣaṇañca vidyētē, tasmin bahirbhūtatamasi nikṣipata|
Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
31 yadā manujasutaḥ pavitradūtān saṅginaḥ kr̥tvā nijaprabhāvēnāgatya nijatējōmayē siṁhāsanē nivēkṣyati,
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 tadā tatsammukhē sarvvajātīyā janā saṁmēliṣyanti| tatō mēṣapālakō yathā chāgēbhyō'vīn pr̥thak karōti tathā sōpyēkasmādanyam itthaṁ tān pr̥thaka kr̥tvāvīn
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 dakṣiṇē chāgāṁśca vāmē sthāpayiṣyati|
He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 tataḥ paraṁ rājā dakṣiṇasthitān mānavān vadiṣyati, āgacchata mattātasyānugrahabhājanāni, yuṣmatkr̥ta ā jagadārambhat yad rājyam āsāditaṁ tadadhikuruta|
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 yatō bubhukṣitāya mahyaṁ bhōjyam adatta, pipāsitāya pēyamadatta, vidēśinaṁ māṁ svasthānamanayata,
for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
36 vastrahīnaṁ māṁ vasanaṁ paryyadhāpayata, pīḍītaṁ māṁ draṣṭumāgacchata, kārāsthañca māṁ vīkṣituma āgacchata|
I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
37 tadā dhārmmikāḥ prativadiṣyanti, hē prabhō, kadā tvāṁ kṣudhitaṁ vīkṣya vayamabhōjayāma? vā pipāsitaṁ vīkṣya apāyayāma?
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 kadā vā tvāṁ vidēśinaṁ vilōkya svasthānamanayāma? kadā vā tvāṁ nagnaṁ vīkṣya vasanaṁ paryyadhāpayāma?
When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
39 kadā vā tvāṁ pīḍitaṁ kārāsthañca vīkṣya tvadantikamagacchāma?
When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
40 tadānīṁ rājā tān prativadiṣyati, yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, mamaitēṣāṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ madhyē kañcanaikaṁ kṣudratamaṁ prati yad akuruta, tanmāṁ pratyakuruta|
"The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
41 paścāt sa vāmasthitān janān vadiṣyati, rē śāpagrastāḥ sarvvē, śaitānē tasya dūtēbhyaśca yō'nantavahnirāsādita āstē, yūyaṁ madantikāt tamagniṁ gacchata| (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
42 yatō kṣudhitāya mahyamāhāraṁ nādatta, pipāsitāya mahyaṁ pēyaṁ nādatta,
for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43 vidēśinaṁ māṁ svasthānaṁ nānayata, vasanahīnaṁ māṁ vasanaṁ na paryyadhāpayata, pīḍitaṁ kārāsthañca māṁ vīkṣituṁ nāgacchata|
I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'
44 tadā tē prativadiṣyanti, hē prabhō, kadā tvāṁ kṣudhitaṁ vā pipāsitaṁ vā vidēśinaṁ vā nagnaṁ vā pīḍitaṁ vā kārāsthaṁ vīkṣya tvāṁ nāsēvāmahi?
"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'
45 tadā sa tān vadiṣyati, tathyamahaṁ yuṣmān bravīmi, yuṣmābhirēṣāṁ kañcana kṣōdiṣṭhaṁ prati yannākāri, tanmāṁ pratyēva nākāri|
"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'
