< Matthew 25 >
1 Then will be likened the kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins who having taken the lamps (their own *N+kO) went forth to (meet *N+kO) the bridegroom.
2 Five now of them were foolish and (the [other] *k) five wise;
3 (Those [who] *N+kO) (for *no) foolish having taken the lamps (of them *N+kO) not did take with their own oil,
4 but the wise took oil in the vessels (of them *k) with the lamps (their own. *N+kO)
5 As was tarrying then the bridegroom they became drowsy all and were sleeping.
6 At middle then of [the] night a cry there was: Behold the bridegroom (comes *k) do go forth to meet him!
7 Then arose all the virgins those and trimmed the lamps (their own. *N+kO)
8 And the foolish to the wise said; do give us of the oil of you, for the lamps of us are going out.
9 Answered then the wise saying; otherwise otherwise certainly (not even *no) it may suffice for us and you. do go (now *k) rather to those selling and do buy for yourselves.
10 [While] are going away then they to buy came the bridegroom, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and was shut the door.
11 Afterward then come also the other virgins saying; lord lord, do open to us!
12 And answering he said; Amen I say to you; not I do know you.
13 do watch therefore, for neither do you know the day nor [know] the hour (in who son of man comes. *K)
14 [It is] like for a man going on a journey [who] called [his] own servants and delivered to them the possessions of him.
15 And to one indeed he gave five talents, to one however two, to one however one, to each according to the [their] own ability; and he left the region. immediately
16 Having gone (now *ko) the [one] the five talents having received he traded with them and (he gained *N+kO) more five (talents; *K)
17 Likewise (and *ko) the [one with] the two gained (and he [gained] *k) more two.
18 however one having received having gone away he dug in (in the *k) (ground *N+kO) and (he hid *N+kO) the money of the master of him.
19 After then much time comes the master of the servants those and takes account with them.
20 And having come the [one] the five talents having received he brought to [him] other five talents saying; Master, five talents to me you did deliver; Behold more five talents I gained (upon them. *k)
21 was saying (now *k) to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
22 Having come then also the [one] with the two talents (having taken *k) he said; Master, two talents to me you did deliver; Behold more two talents I gained (upon them. *k)
23 was saying to him the master of Him; Well done, servant good and faithful! Over a few things you were faithful, over many things you will I set. do enter into the joy of the master of you!
24 Having come then also the one talent having received he said; Master, I knew you that hard you are a man reaping where not you did sow and gathering from where not you did scatter;
25 And having been afraid having gone away I hid the talent of you in the ground; Behold you have what [is] yours.
26 answering now the master of him said to him; Wicked servant and lazy! You knew that I reap where not I sowed and I gather from where not I scattered?
27 It was necessary you therefore to put (the coins *N+kO) of mine to the bankers, and having come I myself received then would my own with interest.
28 do take therefore from him the talent and do give [it] to the [one] having the ten talents.
29 For having to everyone will be given and he will have in abundance; (from *k) the [one] however not having, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
30 And the worthless servant (do cast out *N+kO) into the darkness outer; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 When then may come the Son of Man in the glory of Him and all the (holy *K) angels with Him, then He will sit upon [the] throne of glory of Him,
32 And (they will be gathered *N+kO) before Him all the nations, and He will separate them from one another as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 And He will set indeed the sheep on [the] right hand of Him, however the goats on [the] left.
34 Then will say the King to those on [the] right hand of Him; Come you who [are] blessed of the Father of mine, do inherit the prepared for you kingdom from [the] foundation of [the] world.
35 I hungered for and you gave Me to eat, I thirsted and you gave to drink me, a stranger I was and you took in Me,
36 naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, in prison I was and you came to Me.
37 Then will answer Him the righteous saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering and fed [You] Or thirsting and gave [You] to drink?
38 When now You saw we a stranger and took [You] in Or naked and clothed [You]?
39 When now You saw we (ailing *N+kO) or in prison and came to You?
40 And answering the King will say to them; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as you did [it] to one of these the brothers of Mine of the least, to Me myself you did [it].
41 Then will He say also to those on [the] left; do depart from Me you who [are] cursed into the fire eternal which prepared for the devil and the angels of him. (aiōnios )
42 I hungered for and nothing you gave to Me to eat, (and *o) I thirsted and nothing You gave to drink Me,
43 a stranger I was and not You took in Me, naked and not you did clothe Me, sick and in prison and not did you visit Me.
44 Then will answer (to him *k) also themselves saying; Lord, when You saw we hungering or thirsting or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not did minister to You?
45 Then will He answer to them saying; Amen I say to you; to the extent as much as not you did [it] to one of these the least, neither to Me myself did you.
46 And will go away these into punishment eternal, but the righteous into life eternal. (aiōnios )
