馬太福音 25:14-30
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
受託銀子的比喻
14 「天國又好比一個人要出外旅行,就叫來自己的奴僕們,把他所擁有的交託給他們。 15 他按照每個人自己的能力,一個給了五千兩銀子[a],一個給了兩千兩[b],一個給了一千兩[c],然後就出外旅行。 16 那領了五千的,立刻用這些錢去做生意,另外賺了五千。 17 那領了兩千的,也照樣另賺了兩千。 18 可是那領了一千的,卻出去挖地,把他主人的銀子藏起來。
19 「過了很久,那些奴僕的主人回來,與他們清算帳目。 20 那領了五千兩銀子的,帶著另外的五千兩上前來,說:『主啊,你交託給我五千兩銀子,請看,我另外賺了五千兩。』
21 「主人對他說:『做得好,忠心的好奴僕!你在少許的事上忠心,我要委任你統管很多的事。進來分享你主人的快樂吧!』
22 「那領了兩千兩銀子的也上前來,說:『主啊,你交託給我兩千兩銀子,請看,我另外賺了兩千兩。』
23 「主人對他說:『做得好,忠心的好奴僕!你在少許的事上忠心,我要委任你統管很多的事。進來分享你主人的快樂吧!』
24 「接著,那領了一千兩銀子的也上前來,說:『主啊,我知道你是個嚴厲的人,不是你播種的地方,你收穫;不是你投放的地方,你收集。 25 我懼怕,就去把你的銀子藏在地裡。請看,你的銀子在這裡。』
26 「主人回答他,說:『你這又惡又懶的奴僕!你既然知道:不是我播種的地方,我收穫;不是我投放的地方,我收集, 27 你就應該把我的銀子存到錢莊裡,這樣我回來的時候,可以連本帶利得回來。
28 「所以,你們把那一千兩銀子從他那裡拿走,給那個有一萬兩的; 29 因為凡是有的,還要賜給他,使他豐足有餘;那沒有的,連他有的也將從他那裡被拿走。 30 把這個無用的奴僕丟到外面的黑暗裡去!在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。』

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)

Matthew 25:14-30
King James Version
14 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 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 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 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 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 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 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 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 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 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 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 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 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 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
