Mateo 25
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Talinghaga tungkol sa Sampung Dalaga
25 “Ang(A) kaharian ng langit ay maitutulad dito. May sampung dalagang lumabas upang sumalubong sa lalaking ikakasal. Bawat isa'y may dalang ilawan. 2 Ang lima sa kanila'y hangal at ang lima nama'y matatalino. 3 Ang mga hangal ay nagdala ng kanilang mga ilawan ngunit hindi nagbaon ng langis. 4 Ang matatalino nama'y nagbaon ng langis, bukod pa sa nasa kanilang mga ilawan. 5 Naantala ang pagdating ng lalaking ikakasal kaya't inantok at nakatulog sila sa paghihintay.
6 “Ngunit nang hatinggabi na'y may sumigaw, ‘Narito na ang lalaking ikakasal! Lumabas na kayo upang salubungin siya!’ 7 Agad bumangon ang sampung dalaga at inayos ang kanilang ilawan. 8 Sinabi ng mga hangal sa matatalino, ‘Bigyan naman ninyo kami kahit kaunting langis. Aandap-andap na ang aming mga ilawan.’
9 “‘Baka hindi ito magkasya sa ating lahat. Mabuti pa'y pumunta muna kayo sa tindahan at bumili ng para sa inyo,’ tugon naman ng matatalino. 10 Kaya't lumakad ang limang dalagang iyon upang bumili ng langis. Habang wala sila, dumating ang lalaking ikakasal. Ang limang nakahanda ay kasama niyang pumasok sa kasalan, at isinara ang pinto.
11 “Pagkatapos,(B) dumating naman ang iba pang dalaga. ‘Panginoon, panginoon, papasukin po ninyo kami!’ pakiusap nila.
12 “Ngunit tumugon siya, ‘Sino ba kayo? Hindi ko kayo kilala.’”
13 Pagkatapos nito'y sinabi ni Jesus, “Kaya't magbantay kayo, sapagkat hindi ninyo alam ang araw o ang oras man.”
Talinghaga tungkol sa Tatlong Alipin(C)
14 “Ang(D) paghahari ng Diyos ay maitutulad sa isang taong maglalakbay. Kaya't tinawag niya ang kanyang mga tauhan at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang kanyang ari-arian. 15 Binigyan niya ng salaping ginto[a] ang bawat isa ayon sa kanilang kakayahan. Binigyan niya ang isa ng limanlibong salaping ginto, ang isa nama'y dalawang libong salaping ginto, at ang isa pa ay isanlibong salaping ginto. Pagkatapos nito, siya'y umalis. 16 Kumilos agad ang tumanggap ng limanlibong salaping ginto at ipinangalakal iyon. Kumita siya ng limanlibong salaping ginto. 17 Gayundin naman, ang tumanggap ng dalawang libong salaping ginto ay kumita pa ng dalawang libong salaping ginto. 18 Ngunit ang tumanggap ng isanlibong salaping ginto ay humukay sa lupa at itinago ang salaping ginto ng kanyang panginoon.
19 “Pagkaraan ng mahabang panahon, bumalik ang panginoon ng mga tauhang iyon at sila'y pinag-ulat. 20 Lumapit ang tumanggap ng limanlibong salaping ginto at sinabi, ‘Panginoon, ito po ang limanlibong salaping ginto na iniwan ninyo sa akin. Heto naman po ang limanlibong salaping ginto na tinubo nito.’
21 “Sinabi sa kanya ng panginoon, ‘Magaling! Tapat at mabuting lingkod! Halika, samahan mo ako sa aking kagalakan. Naging tapat ka sa kaunting halaga, kaya gagawin kitang tagapamahala ng malaking halaga.’
22 “Lumapit din ang tumanggap ng dalawang libong salaping ginto at ang sabi, ‘Panginoon, ito po ang iniwan ninyo sa aking dalawang libong salaping ginto. Heto naman po ang dalawang libong salaping ginto na tinubo nito.’
23 “Sinabi ng kanyang panginoon, ‘Magaling! Tapat at mabuting lingkod! Naging tapat ka sa kaunting halaga, kaya't pamamahalain kita sa malaking halaga. Samahan mo ako sa aking kagalakan!’
24 “Lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng isanlibong salaping ginto at sinabi, ‘Alam ko pong kayo'y mahigpit at pinipitas ninyo ang bunga ng hindi ninyo itinanim at inaani ninyo ang hindi ninyo inihasik. 25 Natakot po ako, kaya't ibinaon ko sa lupa ang inyong salaping ginto. Heto na po ang inyong salapi.’
26 “Sumagot ang kanyang panginoon, ‘Masama at tamad na lingkod! Alam mo palang pinipitas ko ang bunga ng hindi ko itinanim at inaani ko ang hindi ko inihasik, 27 bakit hindi mo na lamang inilagay sa bangko ang aking salapi! Kahit paano'y may tinubo sana ito! 28 Kunin ninyo sa kanya ang isanlibong salaping ginto at ibigay sa may sampung libong salaping ginto. 29 Sapagkat(E) ang mayroon ay bibigyan pa, at magkakaroon ng sagana; ngunit ang wala, pati ang kakaunting nasa kanya ay kukunin pa. 30 Itapon(F) ninyo sa kadiliman sa labas ang walang silbing taong iyan! Doo'y mananangis siya at magngangalit ang kanyang mga ngipin.’”
Ang Paghuhukom
31 “Sa(G) maluwalhating pagdating ng Anak ng Tao, kasama ang lahat ng anghel, uupo siya sa kanyang trono ng kaluwalhatian. 32 Tipunin sa harapan niya ang lahat ng mga bansa at sila'y kanyang pagbubukud-bukurin, tulad ng ginagawa ng pastol sa mga tupa at mga kambing. 33 Ilalagay niya sa kanyang kanan ang mga tupa, at sa kaliwa naman ang mga kambing. 34 Kaya't sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kanan niya, ‘Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama! Pumasok kayo at tanggapin ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula pa nang likhain ang daigdig. 35 Sapagkat(H) ako'y nagugutom at ako'y inyong pinakain; ako'y nauuhaw at ako'y inyong pinainom. Ako'y isang dayuhan at inyong pinatuloy. 36 Ako'y hubad at ako'y inyong dinamitan, nagkasakit at inyong dinalaw, nabilanggo at inyong pinuntahan.’
37 “Sasagot ang mga matuwid, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom at aming pinakain, o nauhaw at aming pinainom? 38 Kailan po kayo naging dayuhan at aming pinatuloy, o kaya'y hubad at aming dinamitan? 39 At kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagkasakit o nabilanggo at kayo'y aming dinalaw?’
40 “Sasabihin ng Hari, ‘Tandaan ninyo, nang gawin ninyo ito sa pinakahamak sa mga kapatid kong ito, sa akin ninyo ito ginawa.’
41 “Sasabihin naman niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, ‘Lumayo kayo sa harapan ko, kayong mga isinumpa! Doon kayo sa apoy na di namamatay na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kanyang mga kampon. 42 Sapagkat hindi ninyo ako pinakain noong ako'y nagugutom; hindi ninyo ako pinainom noong ako'y nauuhaw. 43 Hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy noong ako'y isang dayuhan. Hindi ninyo ako dinamitan noong ako'y hubad. Hindi ninyo ako dinalaw noong ako'y may sakit at noong ako'y nasa bilangguan.’
44 “At sasagot din sila, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom, nauhaw, walang matuluyan, hubad, may sakit, o nasa bilangguan, na hindi namin kayo tinulungan?’
45 “At sasabihin sa kanila ng Hari, ‘Tandaan ninyo, nang pagkaitan ninyo ng tulong ang isa sa pinakahamak sa mga ito, ako ang inyong pinagkaitan.’ 46 Itataboy(I) ang mga ito sa kaparusahang walang hanggan, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay pupunta sa buhay na walang hanggan.”

Matei 25
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Pilda celor zece fecioare
25 Atunci, Împărăţia cerurilor se va asemăna cu zece fecioare care şi-au luat candelele şi au ieşit în întâmpinarea mirelui(A). 2 Cinci(B) din ele erau nechibzuite, şi cinci, înţelepte. 3 Cele nechibzuite, când şi-au luat candelele, n-au luat cu ele untdelemn, 4 dar cele înţelepte, împreună cu candelele, au luat cu ele şi untdelemn în vase. 5 Fiindcă mirele zăbovea, au(C) aţipit toate şi au adormit. 6 La miezul nopţii, s-a(D) auzit o strigare: ‘Iată mirele, ieşiţi-i în întâmpinare!’ 7 Atunci, toate fecioarele acelea s-au sculat şi şi-au(E) pregătit candelele. 8 Cele nechibzuite au zis celor înţelepte: ‘Daţi-ne din untdelemnul vostru, căci ni se sting candelele’. 9 Cele înţelepte le-au răspuns: ‘Nu, ca nu cumva să nu ne ajungă nici nouă, nici vouă, ci mai bine duceţi-vă la cei ce vând untdelemn şi cumpăraţi-vă’. 10 Pe când se duceau ele să cumpere untdelemn, a venit mirele: cele ce erau gata au intrat cu el în odaia de nuntă şi s-a(F) încuiat uşa. 11 Mai pe urmă, au venit şi celelalte fecioare şi au zis: ‘Doamne(G), Doamne, deschide-ne!’ 12 Dar el, drept răspuns, le-a zis: ‘Adevărat vă spun că nu(H) vă cunosc!’ 13 Vegheaţi dar(I), căci nu ştiţi ziua, nici ceasul în care va veni Fiul omului.
Pilda talanţilor
14 Atunci(J), Împărăţia cerurilor se va asemăna cu(K) un om care, când era să plece într-o altă ţară, a chemat pe robii săi şi le-a încredinţat avuţia sa. 15 Unuia i-a dat cinci talanţi, altuia doi şi altuia unul, fiecăruia(L) după puterea lui, şi a plecat. 16 Îndată, cel ce primise cei cinci talanţi s-a dus, i-a pus în negoţ şi a câştigat cu ei alţi cinci talanţi. 17 Tot aşa, cel ce primise cei doi talanţi a câştigat şi el alţi doi cu ei. 18 Cel ce nu primise decât un talant s-a dus de a făcut o groapă în pământ şi a ascuns acolo banii stăpânului său. 19 După multă vreme, stăpânul robilor acelora s-a întors şi le-a cerut socoteală. 20 Cel ce primise cei cinci talanţi a venit, a adus alţi cinci talanţi şi a zis: ‘Doamne, mi-ai încredinţat cinci talanţi; iată că am câştigat cu ei alţi cinci talanţi’. 21 Stăpânul său i-a zis: ‘Bine, rob bun şi credincios, ai fost credincios în puţine lucruri, te voi pune peste(M) multe lucruri; intră în bucuria(N) stăpânului tău’. 22 Cel ce primise cei doi talanţi a venit şi el şi a zis: ‘Doamne, mi-ai încredinţat doi talanţi; iată că am câştigat cu ei alţi doi talanţi’. 23 Stăpânul său i-a zis: ‘Bine(O), rob bun şi credincios, ai fost credincios în puţine lucruri, te voi pune peste multe lucruri; intră în bucuria stăpânului tău!’ 24 Cel ce nu primise decât un talant a venit şi el şi a zis: ‘Doamne, am ştiut că eşti om aspru, care seceri de unde n-ai semănat şi strângi de unde n-ai vânturat: 25 mi-a fost teamă şi m-am dus de ţi-am ascuns talantul în pământ; iată-ţi ce este al tău!’ 26 Stăpânul său i-a răspuns: ‘Rob viclean şi leneş! Ai ştiut că secer de unde n-am semănat şi că strâng de unde n-am vânturat, 27 prin urmare se cădea ca tu să-mi fi dat banii la zarafi, şi, la venirea mea, eu mi-aş fi luat înapoi cu dobândă ce este al meu! 28 Luaţi-i dar talantul şi daţi-l celui ce are zece talanţi. 29 Pentru că(P) celui ce are, i se va da şi va avea de prisos, dar de la cel ce n-are, se va lua şi ce are! 30 Iar pe robul acela netrebnic, aruncaţi-l în(Q) întunericul de afară: acolo vor fi plânsul şi scrâşnirea dinţilor’.
Judecata viitoare
31 Când(R) va veni Fiul omului în slava Sa, cu toţi sfinţii îngeri, va şedea pe scaunul de domnie al slavei Sale. 32 Toate neamurile vor(S) fi adunate înaintea Lui. El(T) îi va despărţi pe unii de alţii cum desparte păstorul oile de capre; 33 şi va pune oile la dreapta, iar caprele la stânga Lui. 34 Atunci, Împăratul va zice celor de la dreapta Lui: ‘Veniţi, binecuvântaţii Tatălui Meu, de moşteniţi(U) Împărăţia, care(V) v-a fost pregătită de la întemeierea lumii. 35 Căci(W) am fost flămând şi Mi-aţi dat de mâncat; Mi-a fost sete şi Mi-aţi dat de băut; am fost străin(X) şi M-aţi primit; 36 am fost gol(Y) şi M-aţi îmbrăcat; am fost bolnav şi aţi venit să Mă vedeţi; am fost în(Z) temniţă şi aţi venit pe la Mine.’ 37 Atunci, cei neprihăniţi Îi vor răspunde: ‘Doamne, când Te-am văzut noi flămând şi Ţi-am dat să mănânci sau fiindu-Ţi sete şi Ţi-am dat de ai băut? 38 Când Te-am văzut noi străin şi Te-am primit sau gol şi Te-am îmbrăcat? 39 Când Te-am văzut noi bolnav sau în temniţă şi am venit pe la Tine?’ 40 Drept răspuns, Împăratul le va zice: ‘Adevărat vă spun că, ori de câte ori(AA) aţi făcut aceste lucruri unuia din aceşti foarte neînsemnaţi fraţi ai Mei, Mie mi le-aţi făcut.’ 41 Apoi va zice celor de la stânga Lui: ‘Duceţi-vă(AB) de la Mine, blestemaţilor, în(AC) focul cel veşnic, care a fost pregătit Diavolului(AD) şi îngerilor lui! 42 Căci am fost flămând, şi nu Mi-aţi dat să mănânc; Mi-a fost sete, şi nu Mi-aţi dat să beau; 43 am fost străin, şi nu M-aţi primit; am fost gol, şi nu M-aţi îmbrăcat; am fost bolnav şi în temniţă, şi n-aţi venit pe la Mine.’ 44 Atunci, Îi vor răspunde şi ei: ‘Doamne, când Te-am văzut noi flămând sau fiindu-Ţi sete, sau străin, sau gol, sau bolnav, sau în temniţă şi nu Ţi-am slujit?’ 45 Şi El, drept răspuns, le va zice: ‘Adevărat vă spun că, ori de câte ori(AE) n-aţi făcut aceste lucruri unuia dintr-aceşti foarte neînsemnaţi fraţi ai Mei, Mie nu Mi le-aţi făcut.’ 46 Şi aceştia vor(AF) merge în pedeapsa veşnică, iar cei neprihăniţi vor merge în viaţa veşnică.”

Het verhaal van de tien bruidsmeisjes
25 Jezus zei: "Je kan het Koninkrijk van God ook vergelijken met tien bruidsmeisjes die met hun olielampen op weg gingen om de bruidegom op te wachten. 2 Vijf meisjes waren dwaas en vijf meisjes waren verstandig. 3 Want de dwaze meisjes namen wel hun olielampen mee, maar geen olie. 4 Maar de verstandige meisjes namen behalve hun olielamp ook een kruikje olie mee.[a] 5 Het duurde lang voordat de bruidegom kwam. Daardoor werden ze moe en ze vielen in slaap. 6 Maar midden in de nacht werd er geroepen: 'Kijk, daar komt de bruidegom! Kom mee, hem tegemoet!' 7 De meisjes stonden haastig op en staken hun lampen aan. 8 Toen zeiden de dwaze meisjes tegen de verstandige meisjes: 'Geef ons een beetje van jullie olie, want onze lampen gaan uit.' 9 Maar de verstandige meisjes zeiden: 'Nee, want dan hebben we geen van allen genoeg. Gaan jullie maar naar de winkel om olie te kopen.' 10 Maar terwijl de dwaze meisjes olie gingen kopen, kwam de bruidegom. En de meisjes die klaar stonden, gingen met hem mee naar binnen, de feestzaal in. Toen ging de deur dicht. 11 Later kwamen ook de andere meisjes en riepen: 'Heer, heer, laat ons er in!' 12 Maar hij antwoordde: 'Luister: ik ken jullie niet.'
13 Let dus goed op. Want jullie weten niet op welke dag en op welk moment de Mensenzoon komt."
Het verhaal van de dienaren met het geld
14 Jezus zei: "Het is hetzelfde als met een man die naar het buitenland vertrok. Voordat hij ging, riep hij zijn dienaren bij zich. Hij gaf hun een bedrag waarmee ze voor hem zaken moesten doen. 15 Eén dienaar gaf hij 1200 goudstukken, een andere 500 goudstukken en een derde 250 goudstukken. Hij gaf ieder de hoeveelheid geld waarvan hij wist dat die dienaar daar goed mee zou kunnen omgaan. Daarna ging hij op reis.
16 De man die 1200 goudstukken had gekregen, ging onmiddellijk op weg om zaken te doen. Hij verdiende er 1200 goudstukken bij. 17 De man met de 500 goudstukken verdiende er 500 bij. 18 Maar de man die 250 goudstukken had gekregen, groef een gat in de grond en stopte er het geld van zijn heer in.
19 Na lange tijd kwam de heer van die dienaren terug. Hij wilde weten hoeveel ze met zijn geld voor hem verdiend hadden. 20 De man die 1200 goudstukken had gekregen, ging naar zijn heer. Hij bracht ook de 1200 goudstukken mee die hij had bijverdiend en zei: 'Heer, u had mij 1200 goudstukken gegeven. Kijk, ik heb er 1200 bijverdiend.' 21 Zijn heer zei tegen hem: 'Goed gedaan! Je bent een goede en trouwe dienaar. Ik heb je eerst weinig gegeven. Daar ben je goed mee omgegaan. Daarom zal ik je nu véél geven. En je bent welkom op mijn feest.'
22 De man die de 500 goudstukken had gekregen, ging ook naar zijn heer. Hij zei: 'Heer, u had mij 500 goudstukken gegeven. Kijk, ik heb er 500 bijverdiend.' 23 Zijn heer zei tegen hem: 'Goed gedaan! Je bent een goede en trouwe dienaar. Ik heb je eerst weinig gegeven. Daar ben je goed mee omgegaan. Daarom zal ik je nu véél geven. En je bent welkom op mijn feest.'
24 Toen kwam ook de man die maar 250 goudstukken had gekregen. Hij zei: 'Heer, ik wist dat u een hard mens bent. U maait waar u niet heeft gezaaid en u verzamelt op plaatsen waar u niets heeft uitgestrooid. 25 Omdat ik bang voor u was, heb ik uw 250 goudstukken in de grond gestopt. Hier zijn ze weer.' 26 Zijn heer zei tegen hem: 'Je bent een slechte en luie dienaar! Je zegt dat ik maai waar ik niet heb gezaaid, en dat ik verzamel waar ik niet heb uitgestrooid. 27 Dan had je mijn geld naar de bank moeten brengen. Dan had ik het bij mijn terugkomst met rente van de bank kunnen halen! 28 Neem hem de 250 goudstukken af. Geef ze aan hem die 2400 goudstukken heeft.'
29 Want aan iedereen die heeft, zal meer gegeven worden, en hij zal meer dan genoeg hebben. Maar van wie niet heeft, zal afgenomen worden wat hij heeft. 30 En de heer zei: 'En gooi die nutteloze dienaar in de donkerste kerker. Daar zal hij huilen en met zijn tanden knarsen van spijt.' "
Het oordeel van Jezus over de mensen
31 Jezus zei: "Straks zal de Mensenzoon komen in zijn stralende hemelse macht en majesteit, samen met al zijn engelen. Dan zal Hij op zijn koninklijke troon gaan zitten. 32 Alle volken zullen vóór Hem worden gebracht. En Hij zal ze van elkaar scheiden, zoals een herder de schapen scheidt van de bokken. 33 Hij zal de 'schapen' aan zijn rechterkant zetten en de 'bokken' aan zijn linkerkant.
34 Dan zal de Koning tegen de mensen rechts van Hem zeggen: 'Kom, mijn Vader wil goed voor jullie zijn. Hij geeft jullie het Koninkrijk dat Ik al voor jullie heb klaargemaakt nog voordat de aarde bestond. 35 Want toen Ik honger had, hebben jullie Mij te eten gegeven. Toen Ik dorst had, hebben jullie Mij te drinken gegeven. Toen Ik een vreemdeling was, hebben jullie Mij in huis genomen. 36 Toen Ik geen kleren had, hebben jullie Mij kleren gegeven. Toen Ik ziek was, hebben jullie Mij opgezocht. Toen Ik in de gevangenis zat, hebben jullie Mij bezocht.' 37 Dan zullen ze Hem antwoorden: 'Heer, wanneer had U honger en hebben we U te eten gegeven? Wanneer had U dorst en hebben we U te drinken gegeven? 38 Wanneer was U een vreemdeling en hebben we U in huis genomen? Wanneer had U geen kleren en hebben we U kleren gegeven? 39 Wanneer was U ziek of in de gevangenis en hebben we U bezocht?' 40 En de Koning zal zeggen: 'Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie: toen jullie die dingen voor één van mijn minst belangrijke broeders of zusters deden, hebben jullie ze ook voor Míj gedaan.'
41 Daarna zal Hij tegen de mensen links van Hem zeggen: 'Ga weg van Mij. Jullie zijn vervloekt. Ga naar het eeuwige vuur dat voor de duivel en zijn engelen is klaargemaakt. 42 Want toen Ik honger had, hebben jullie Mij niet te eten gegeven. Toen Ik dorst had, hebben jullie Mij niet te drinken gegeven. 43 Toen Ik een vreemdeling was, hebben jullie Mij niet in huis genomen. Toen Ik geen kleren had, hebben jullie Mij geen kleren gegeven. Toen Ik ziek was en in de gevangenis, hebben jullie Mij niet bezocht.' 44 Dan zullen ook zij antwoorden: 'Heer, wanneer had U honger, of dorst, of geen kleren, of was U ziek, of in de gevangenis en hebben we niets voor U gedaan?' 45 Dan zal Hij zeggen: 'Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie: toen jullie die dingen niet voor één van mijn minst belangrijke broeders of zusters deden, hebben jullie ze ook niet voor Míj gedaan.' 46 Deze mensen zullen voor eeuwig gestraft worden. Maar de mensen die hebben geleefd zoals God het wil, zullen het eeuwige leven krijgen."
Footnotes
- Mattheüs 25:4 Als je een olielamp meenam, nam je een lege lamp mee en de olie deed je in een flesje. Anders ging de lamp lekken. Vijf van de meisjes zijn dwaas omdat ze wel een lamp meenemen, maar geen olie! De lont van een lamp zonder olie brandt wel heel even, maar bij gebrek aan olie gaat hij ook gelijk weer uit. Ze hebben zich dus niet echt voorbereid op de bruiloft. Want wat zij doen is zinloos.
Matthew 25
King James Version
25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 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 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 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
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.
31 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 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 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 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 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 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 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 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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 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 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 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.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
