Matthew 25
1 Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto. x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:
THEN shall be likened the kingdom of heaven unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.
But five of them were wise, and five foolish.
3 The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.
And those foolish (ones) took their lamps, but did not take with them the oil:
4 But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.
but those were wise who took oil in vessels with their lamps.
5 Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.
But while the bridegroom withheld, they all dozed and slept.
6 And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.
And in the dividing of the night there was the cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go forth to his meeting.
7 Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.
Then all the virgins arose, and prepared their lamps.
8 And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?
But those foolish ones said to the wise, Give to us from your oil; for, behold, our lamps are gone out.
9 but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.
But the wise ones answered them, saying, Lest it should not suffice for us and for you; but go to those who sell, and buy for you.
10 And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:
And while they were gone to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared entered with him into the house of festivity, and the gate was shut.
11 Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.
At last came also those other virgins, saying, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us!
12 But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.
But he answered and said to them, Assuredly I tell you, I know you not.
13 Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.
Be wakeful therefore, for you know not that day nor the hour.
14 Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.
FOR as a man who journeyed called his servants, and delivered to them his property:
15 And vnto one he gave. v. talentes to another. ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.
To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, each man according to his faculty; and forthwith went away.
16 Then he that had receaved the fyve talentes went and bestowed them and wanne other fyve talentes.
But he who had received five talents went and traded with them, and gained five others.
17 Lykwyse he that receaved. ii. gayned other. ii.
Likewise he who (had received) two by trading gained two others.
18 But he yt receaved ye one went and digged a pit in the erth and hyd his masters money.
But he who had received one went, dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19 After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the.
After a long time the lord of those servants came, and received from them the account.
20 Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo.
Then he drew near who had received the five talents, and brought five others, and said, My lord, five talents thou gavest me: behold, five others I have gained by them.
21 The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.
His lord said to him, It is well, good and faithful servant; over a little thou hast been faithful, over much I will establish thee: enter into the joy of thy lord.
22 Also he that receaved. ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me. ii. talentes: beholde I have wone. ii. other talentes with them.
And he of the two talents approached, and said, My lord, two talents thou gavest me: behold, two others I have gained by them.
23 And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye.
His lord saith to him, It is well, servant good and faithful; over a little thou hast been faithful, over much will I establish thee: enter into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not
But he also drew near who had received the one talent, and said, My lord, I knew thee, that thou wast a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering together from whence thou hadst not dispersed.
25 and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne.
And I feared, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
26 His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:
His lord answered, Thou evil and slothful servant, thou didst know me that I reap where I have not sowed, and collect from whence I have not dispersed.
27 thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage.
Did it not behove thee to cast my money upon the table, that when I came I might require mine own with its increase?
28 Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath. x. talentes.
Take therefore from him the talent, and give it unto him who hath ten talents.
29 For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
For unto him who hath shall be given, and it shall be added to him; but he who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken from him.
30 And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.
And the indolent servant cast forth into the darknesses without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie
WHEN the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.
32 and before him shalbe Gaddred all nacions. And he shall seperate the one from a nother as a shepherde deuideth the shepe from the gootes.
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats.
33 And he shall set the shepe on his right honde and the gotes on the lyfte.
And he shall cause the sheep to stand upon his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.
Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which was to be for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me.
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I thirsted, and you made me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received me;
36 I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sicke and ye visited me. I was in preson and ye came vnto me.
I was naked, and you covered me; I was sick, and you cared for me; and I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 Then shall ye righteous answere him sayinge master whe sawe we ye anhongred and feed the? or a thurst and gave ye drinke?
Then shall say unto him those righteous, Our Lord! when did we see that thou wast hungry, and fed thee, or that thou didst thirst, and we gave thee drink?
38 when sawe we ye herbourlesse and lodged the? or naked and clothed the?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and received thee, or naked, and covered thee?
39 or when sawe we the sicke or in preson and came vnto the?
and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me.
And the King shall answer and say to them, Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me you did it.
41 Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say also unto them on his left hand, Go from me, accursed, into the fire of eternity, which was prepared for the accuser and for his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meate. I thursted and ye gave me no drinke.
For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat; and I thirsted, but you made me not to drink;
43 I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me not. I was naked and ye clothed me not. I was sicke and in preson and ye visited me not.
and I was a stranger, and you received me not; and naked, and you clothed me not; and I was sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answere him sayinge: master when sawe we the an hungred or a thurst or herbourlesse or naked or sicke or in preson and did not ministre vnto the?
Then shall 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 unto thee?
45 Then shall he answere the and saye: Verely I saye vnto you in as moche as ye did it not to one of ye leest of these ye did it not to me.
Then shall he answer and say to them, Amen I say unto you, that inasmuch as you did it not unto one of these little ones, you did it not to me.
