Využívaj zverené dary

14 Dám vám iný príklad. Jeden človek si pred odchodom na ďalekú cestu zavolal svojich podriadených a zveril im svoje peniaze.

15 Každému podľa schopností: jednému päťstotisíc, druhému dvestotisíc a ďalšiemu stotisíc. Potom odcestoval.

16 Ten, čo dostal päťstotisíc, začal hneď podnikať a získal ďalších päťstotisíc.

17 Ten, čo dostal dvestotisíc, takisto sumu zdvojnásobil.

18 Ale ten, ktorému zveril stotisíc, vykopal v zemi skrýšu a peniaze do nej schoval.

19 Po dlhšom čase sa pán vrátil a chcel, aby mu podriadení predložili účty.

20 Prvý priniesol peniaze a povedal: Pán môj, zveril si mi päťstotisíc, a tu máš zisk -- ďalších päťstotisíc.

21 Pán ho pochválil za dobrú prácu a povedal mu: Osvedčil si sa v malej úlohe, preto ti môžem zveriť oveľa väčšiu. A teraz ťa pozývam na oslavu svojho návratu.

22 Prišiel ďalší a povedal: Pán môj, zveril si mi dvestotisíc a odovzdávam ti štyristotisíc. --

23 Veľmi dobre! odpovedal pán. Si usilovný a spoľahlivý. Splnil si malú úlohu, zverím ti väčšiu. Aj teba pozývam na hostinu.

24 Potom skladal účty posledný. Pán môj, viem, že si prísny a záleží ti na zisku,

25 ale ja som sa bál, aby som neprerobil, a preto som peniaze radšej ukryl a teraz ti ich v poriadku vraciam.

26 Pán zvolal: Ty lenivec a naničhodník! Vedel si, o čo mi ide.

27 Mal si zverené peniaze uložiť a priniesli by mi aspoň úroky.

28 Vezmite od neho peniaze a dajte ich prvému.

29 Lebo tomu, kto dobre využíva to, čo mu bolo zverené, bude ešte pridané. Ale kto sa ani trochu neusiluje, príde o všetko.

30 Tohto lenivca vyžeňte do tmy! Tam ho čaká len plač a škrípanie zubami. "

The Parable of the Bags of Gold(A)

14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey,(B) who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability.(C) Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.(D) 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(E) Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(F) Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(G) 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(H)
