Matthew 25
1 Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.
Then the kingdome of heauen shalbe likened vnto tenne virgins, which tooke their lampes, and went foorth to meete the bridegrome.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
And fiue of them were wise, and fiue foolish.
3 And the foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them.
The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none oyle with them.
4 But the wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes.
5 And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep.
Nowe while the bridegrome taried long, all slumbred and slept.
6 And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
And at midnight there was a crie made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.
8 And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out.
And the foolish said to the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are out.
9 The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be ynough for vs and you: but goe ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.
And while they went to bye, the bridegrome came: and they that were readie, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.
11 And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us.
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs.
12 But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not.
But he answered, and said, Verely I say vnto you, I knowe you not.
13 Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour.
Watch therfore: for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, when the sonne of man will come.
14 For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;
For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods.
15 to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed.
And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own ability, and straightway went from home.
16 Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more.
Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents.
17 And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more.
Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
But he that receiued that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money.
19 And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them.
But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them.
20 And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them.
Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents.
21 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
22 And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them.
Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more.
23 His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord.
His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy.
24 And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not:
25 and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine.
I was therefore afraide, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne.
26 His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered!
And his master answered, and said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not.
27 Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest.
Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, and then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents.
29 For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away.
For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Cast therefore that vnprofitable seruant into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnasshing of teeth.
31 And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.
And when the Sonne of man commeth in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glorie,
32 And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.
And before him shalbe gathered all nations, and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shepheard separateth the sheepe from ye goates.
33 And he will place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, and the goates on the left.
34 Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Then shall ye king say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me home;
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in vnto you.
36 I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me.
37 Then will the righteous say to him: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Then shall the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gaue thee drinke?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee home? or naked, and clothed thee?
And when sawe we thee a stranger, and tooke thee in vnto vs? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
40 And the king will answer, and say to them: Verily I Say to you, That inasmuch as ye did so to one of these my little brothers, ye did so to me.
And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethre, ye haue done it to me.
41 Then will he say also to them on his left hand: Go from me, ye accursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the Calumniator and his angels, (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say vnto them on ye left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuill and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food; and I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me no drinke:
43 and I was a stranger, and ye took me not home; and I was naked, and ye clothed me not; and I was sick and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
I was a stranger, and ye tooke me not in vnto you: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then will they also answer and say: Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee?
45 Then will he answer, and say to them: Verily I say to you, That in as much as ye did not so to one of these little ones, ye did not so to me.
Then shall he answere them, and say, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
