Mattheum 25
1 Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus: quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso, et sponsae.
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 Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes:
But five of them were wise, and five foolish.
3 sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum:
And those foolish (ones) took their lamps, but did not take with them the oil:
4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus.
but those were wise who took oil in vessels with their lamps.
5 Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt.
But while the bridegroom withheld, they all dozed and slept.
6 Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei.
And in the dividing of the night there was the cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go forth to his meeting.
7 Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas.
Then all the virgins arose, and prepared their lamps.
8 Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro: quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur.
But those foolish ones said to the wise, Give to us from your oil; for, behold, our lamps are gone out.
9 Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.
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 Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est ianua.
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 Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis.
At last came also those other virgins, saying, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us!
12 At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos.
But he answered and said to them, Assuredly I tell you, I know you not.
13 Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.
Be wakeful therefore, for you know not that day nor the hour.
14 Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua.
FOR as a man who journeyed called his servants, and delivered to them his property:
15 Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem, et profectus est statim.
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 Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque.
But he who had received five talents went and traded with them, and gained five others.
17 Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo.
Likewise he who (had received) two by trading gained two others.
18 Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui.
But he who had received one went, dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19 Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis.
After a long time the lord of those servants came, and received from them the account.
20 Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum.
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 Ait illi dominus eius: Euge serve bone, et fidelis, quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam, intra in gaudium domini tui.
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 Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait: Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum.
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 Ait illi dominus eius: Euge serve bone, et fidelis, quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam, intra in gaudium domini tui.
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 Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es, metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti:
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 et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est.
And I feared, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own.
26 Respondens autem dominus eius, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi:
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 oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, ut veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.
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 Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei, qui habet decem talenta.
Take therefore from him the talent, and give it unto him who hath ten talents.
29 omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem, qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo.
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 Et inutilem servum eiicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
And the indolent servant cast forth into the darknesses without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua, et omnes angeli eius cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae:
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 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hoedis:
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 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hoedos autem a sinistris.
And he shall cause the sheep to stand upon his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 Tunc dicet rex his, qui a dextris eius erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi.
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 esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis 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 nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad 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 Tunc respondebunt ei iusti, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum?
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 quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te: aut nudum, et cooperuimus te?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and received thee, or naked, and covered thee?
39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum: aut in carcere, et venimus ad te?
and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.
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 Tunc dicet et his, qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis eius. (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 esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et non desistis mihi potum:
For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat; and I thirsted, but you made me not to drink;
43 hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me.
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 Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi?
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 Tunc respondebit illis dicens: Amen dico vobis: Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis.
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.
