mathiH 25
1 yA dasha kanyAH pradIpAn gR^ihlatyo varaM sAkShAt karttuM bahiritAH, tAbhistadA svargIyarAjyasya sAdR^ishyaM bhaviShyati|
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 tAsAM kanyAnAM madhye pa ncha sudhiyaH pa ncha durdhiya Asan|
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 yA durdhiyastAH pradIpAn sa Nge gR^ihItvA tailaM na jagR^ihuH,
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 kintu sudhiyaH pradIpAn pAtreNa taila ncha jagR^ihuH|
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 anantaraM vare vilambite tAH sarvvA nidrAviShTA nidrAM jagmuH|
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 anantaram arddharAtre pashyata vara AgachChati, taM sAkShAt karttuM bahiryAteti janaravAt
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 tAH sarvvAH kanyA utthAya pradIpAn AsAdayituM Arabhanta|
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 tato durdhiyaH sudhiya UchuH, ki nchit tailaM datta, pradIpA asmAkaM nirvvANAH|
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 kintu sudhiyaH pratyavadan, datte yuShmAnasmAMshcha prati tailaM nyUnIbhavet, tasmAd vikretR^iNAM samIpaM gatvA svArthaM tailaM krINIta|
But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 tadA tAsu kretuM gatAsu vara AjagAma, tato yAH sajjitA Asan, tAstena sAkaM vivAhIyaM veshma pravivishuH|
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 anantaraM dvAre ruddhe aparAH kanyA Agatya jagaduH, he prabho, he prabho, asmAn prati dvAraM mochaya|
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 kintu sa uktavAn, tathyaM vadAmi, yuShmAnahaM na vedmi|
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 ato jAgrataH santastiShThata, manujasutaH kasmin dine kasmin daNDe vAgamiShyati, tad yuShmAbhi rna j nAyate|
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 aparaM sa etAdR^ishaH kasyachit puMsastulyaH, yo dUradeshaM prati yAtrAkAle nijadAsAn AhUya teShAM svasvasAmarthyAnurUpam
For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 ekasmin mudrANAM pa ncha poTalikAH anyasmiMshcha dve poTalike aparasmiMshcha poTalikaikAm itthaM pratijanaM samarpya svayaM pravAsaM gatavAn|
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 anantaraM yo dAsaH pa ncha poTalikAH labdhavAn, sa gatvA vANijyaM vidhAya tA dviguNIchakAra|
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
17 yashcha dAso dve poTalike alabhata, sopi tA mudrA dviguNIchakAra|
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 kintu yo dAsa ekAM poTalikAM labdhavAn, sa gatvA bhUmiM khanitvA tanmadhye nijaprabhostA mudrA gopayA nchakAra|
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 tadanantaraM bahutithe kAle gate teShAM dAsAnAM prabhurAgatya tairdAsaiH samaM gaNayA nchakAra|
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 tadAnIM yaH pa ncha poTalikAH prAptavAn sa tA dviguNIkR^itamudrA AnIya jagAda; he prabho, bhavatA mayi pa ncha poTalikAH samarpitAH, pashyatu, tA mayA dviguNIkR^itAH|
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 tadAnIM tasya prabhustamuvAcha, he uttama vishvAsya dAsa, tvaM dhanyosi, stokena vishvAsyo jAtaH, tasmAt tvAM bahuvittAdhipaM karomi, tvaM svaprabhoH sukhasya bhAgI bhava|
His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 tato yena dve poTalike labdhe sopyAgatya jagAda, he prabho, bhavatA mayi dve poTalike samarpite, pashyatu te mayA dviguNIkR^ite|
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 tena tasya prabhustamavochat, he uttama vishvAsya dAsa, tvaM dhanyosi, stokena vishvAsyo jAtaH, tasmAt tvAM bahudraviNAdhipaM karomi, tvaM nijaprabhoH sukhasya bhAgI bhava|
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 anantaraM ya ekAM poTalikAM labdhavAn, sa etya kathitavAn, he prabho, tvAM kaThinanaraM j nAtavAn, tvayA yatra noptaM, tatraiva kR^ityate, yatra cha na kIrNaM, tatraiva saMgR^ihyate|
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 atohaM sasha NkaH san gatvA tava mudrA bhUmadhye saMgopya sthApitavAn, pashya, tava yat tadeva gR^ihANa|
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
26 tadA tasya prabhuH pratyavadat re duShTAlasa dAsa, yatrAhaM na vapAmi, tatra Chinadmi, yatra cha na kirAmi, tatreva saMgR^ihlAmIti chedajAnAstarhi
His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 vaNikShu mama vittArpaNaM tavochitamAsIt, yenAhamAgatya vR^idvyA sAkaM mUlamudrAH prApsyam|
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 atosmAt tAM poTalikAm AdAya yasya dasha poTalikAH santi tasminnarpayata|
Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
29 yena vardvyate tasminnaivArpiShyate, tasyaiva cha bAhulyaM bhaviShyati, kintu yena na vardvyate, tasyAntike yat ki nchana tiShThati, tadapi punarneShyate|
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 aparaM yUyaM tamakarmmaNyaM dAsaM nItvA yatra sthAne krandanaM dantagharShaNa ncha vidyete, tasmin bahirbhUtatamasi nikShipata|
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 yadA manujasutaH pavitradUtAn sa NginaH kR^itvA nijaprabhAvenAgatya nijatejomaye siMhAsane nivekShyati,
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 tadA tatsammukhe sarvvajAtIyA janA saMmeliShyanti| tato meShapAlako yathA ChAgebhyo. avIn pR^ithak karoti tathA sopyekasmAdanyam itthaM tAn pR^ithaka kR^itvAvIn
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
33 dakShiNe ChAgAMshcha vAme sthApayiShyati|
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 tataH paraM rAjA dakShiNasthitAn mAnavAn vadiShyati, AgachChata mattAtasyAnugrahabhAjanAni, yuShmatkR^ita A jagadArambhat yad rAjyam AsAditaM tadadhikuruta|
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 yato bubhukShitAya mahyaM bhojyam adatta, pipAsitAya peyamadatta, videshinaM mAM svasthAnamanayata,
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 vastrahInaM mAM vasanaM paryyadhApayata, pIDItaM mAM draShTumAgachChata, kArAstha ncha mAM vIkShituma AgachChata|
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 tadA dhArmmikAH prativadiShyanti, he prabho, kadA tvAM kShudhitaM vIkShya vayamabhojayAma? vA pipAsitaM vIkShya apAyayAma?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 kadA vA tvAM videshinaM vilokya svasthAnamanayAma? kadA vA tvAM nagnaM vIkShya vasanaM paryyadhApayAma?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?
39 kadA vA tvAM pIDitaM kArAstha ncha vIkShya tvadantikamagachChAma?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 tadAnIM rAjA tAn prativadiShyati, yuShmAnahaM satyaM vadAmi, mamaiteShAM bhrAtR^iNAM madhye ka nchanaikaM kShudratamaM prati yad akuruta, tanmAM pratyakuruta|
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
41 pashchAt sa vAmasthitAn janAn vadiShyati, re shApagrastAH sarvve, shaitAne tasya dUtebhyashcha yo. anantavahnirAsAdita Aste, yUyaM madantikAt tamagniM gachChata| (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 yato kShudhitAya mahyamAhAraM nAdatta, pipAsitAya mahyaM peyaM nAdatta,
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 videshinaM mAM svasthAnaM nAnayata, vasanahInaM mAM vasanaM na paryyadhApayata, pIDitaM kArAstha ncha mAM vIkShituM nAgachChata|
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 tadA te prativadiShyanti, he prabho, kadA tvAM kShudhitaM vA pipAsitaM vA videshinaM vA nagnaM vA pIDitaM vA kArAsthaM vIkShya tvAM nAsevAmahi?
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 tadA sa tAn vadiShyati, tathyamahaM yuShmAn bravImi, yuShmAbhireShAM ka nchana kShodiShThaM prati yannAkAri, tanmAM pratyeva nAkAri|
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
