[Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
2 តាសាំ កន្យានាំ មធ្យេ បញ្ច សុធិយះ បញ្ច ទុទ៌្ហិយ អាសន៑។
Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.

The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
4 កិន្តុ សុធិយះ ប្រទីបាន៑ បាត្រេណ តៃលញ្ច ជគ្ឫហុះ។
But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.

The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
7 តាះ សវ៌្វាះ កន្យា ឧត្ថាយ ប្រទីបាន៑ អាសាទយិតុំ អារភន្ត។
So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].

The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
9 កិន្តុ សុធិយះ ប្រត្យវទន៑, ទត្តេ យុឞ្មានស្មាំឝ្ច ប្រតិ តៃលំ ន្យូនីភវេត៑, តស្មាទ៑ វិក្រេត្ឫណាំ សមីបំ គត្វា ស្វាត៌្ហំ តៃលំ ក្រីណីត។
The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
10 តទា តាសុ ក្រេតុំ គតាសុ វរ អាជគាម, តតោ យាះ សជ្ជិតា អាសន៑, តាស្តេន សាកំ វិវាហីយំ វេឝ្ម ប្រវិវិឝុះ។
But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.

Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
12 កិន្តុ ស ឧក្តវាន៑, តថ្យំ វទាមិ, យុឞ្មានហំ ន វេទ្មិ។
But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”

[Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”

“[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
15 ឯកស្មិន៑ មុទ្រាណាំ បញ្ច បោដលិកាះ អន្យស្មិំឝ្ច ទ្វេ បោដលិកេ អបរស្មិំឝ្ច បោដលិកៃកាម៑ ឥត្ថំ ប្រតិជនំ សមប៌្យ ស្វយំ ប្រវាសំ គតវាន៑។
He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.

The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.

Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.

After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.

The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’

His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’

The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’

His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’

Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].

So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’

His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?)

So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
