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.

Usporedba o deset djevojaka
25 »Tada će Kraljevstvo nebesko biti poput deset djevojaka[a] koje su uzele svoje svjetiljke i pošle ususret mladoženji. 2 Pet ih je bilo ludih, a pet mudrih. 3 Lude su djevojke uzele svoje svjetiljke, ali nisu ponijele ulje. 4 No mudre su, zajedno sa svjetiljkama, uzele i ulje u posudama. 5 Budući da je mladoženja kasnio, sve su djevojke zadrijemale i zaspale.
6 No u ponoć začuo se glas: ‘Evo mladoženje! Izađite mu u susret!’
7 Tada su sve djevojke ustale i pripremile svoje svjetiljke. 8 Lude su djevojke rekle mudrima: ‘Dajte nam malo vašega ulja, jer nam se gase svjetiljke.’
9 Ali mudre su im djevojke odgovorile: ‘Ne možemo jer neće biti dovoljno ni za nas ni za vas. Radije otiđite prodavaču i kupite ulje.’
10 Dok su išle kupiti ulje, mladoženja je stigao. One djevojke koje su bile spremne, pošle su s njim na svadbenu svečanost, a vrata su se za njima zatvorila.
11 Kasnije su stigle i ostale djevojke pa su rekle: ‘Gospodine, Gospodine, otvori nam vrata!’
12 A on im je odgovorio: ‘Istinu vam kažem: ja vas ne poznajem.’
13 Stoga, budite spremni, jer ne znate ni dan ni sat kada će doći Sin Čovječji.«
Usporedba o povjerenom novcu
(Lk 19,11-27)
14 »Kraljevstvo je nebesko poput čovjeka koji se spremao na put pa je pozvao sluge i predao im svoju imovinu na upravljanje. 15 Jednom od njih dao je pet talenata[b], drugome dva talenta, a trećemu jedan. Svakom je dodijelio prema njegovim sposobnostima, a zatim je otputovao. 16 Onaj koji je primio pet talenata odmah je uložio novac te zaradio još pet talenata. 17 Isto tako, onaj koji je primio dva talenta zaradio je još dva. 18 No onaj koji je primio jedan talenat otišao je, iskopao jamu u zemlji i sakrio gospodarev novac.
19 Nakon mnogo vremena vratio se gospodar i zatražio od slugu da mu polože račun. 20 Pristupio mu je onaj koji je dobio pet talenata te je donio još pet talenata. Rekao je: ‘Gospodaru, povjerio si mi pet talenata, a ja sam, evo, zaradio još pet.’
21 Gospodar mu je rekao: ‘Dobro, vjerni i dobri slugo! Bio si pouzdan u malome pa ću te postaviti da upravljaš velikim. Uđi i podijeli radost sa svojim gospodarem!’
22 Zatim mu je pristupio onaj koji je dobio dva talenta pa mu rekao: ‘Gospodaru, povjerio si mi dva talenta, a ja sam, evo, zaradio još dva.’
23 Gospodar mu je odgovorio: ‘Dobro, vjerni i dobri slugo! Bio si pouzdan u malom pa ću te postaviti da upravljaš velikim. Uđi i podijeli radost sa svojim gospodarem!’
24 Tada mu je pristupio onaj koji je dobio jedan talenat te mu rekao: ‘Gospodaru, znao sam da si tvrd čovjek i da ubireš gdje nisi posadio i skupljaš gdje nisi posijao. 25 Bojao sam se pa sam otišao i sakrio talenat u zemlju. Evo, uzmi što je tvoje!’
26 Gospodar mu je na to odgovorio: ‘Zli i lijeni slugo! Znao si da ubirem gdje nisam posadio i da skupljam gdje nisam posijao. 27 Zato si trebao odnijeti moj novac u banku pa bih, kada dođem, uzeo svoje zajedno s kamatama.
28 Zato mu oduzmite talenat i dajte ga onomu koji ima deset talenata! 29 Jer, svakomu tko ima dat će se još, pa će imati u izobilju, a svakomu tko nema, oduzet će se i ono što ima. 30 Stoga, bacite ovoga beskorisnog slugu u tamu, gdje će biti plač i škrgut zuba!’«
Sud svih naroda
31 »Kad Sin Čovječji dođe u svojoj slavi, sa svim svojim anđelima, sjest će na svoje slavno prijestolje. 32 Tada će se pred njim okupiti svi narodi i on će razdvojiti jedne od drugih, kao što pastir razdvaja ovce od jaraca. 33 Ovce će postaviti sa svoje desne strane, a jarce s lijeve.
34 Tada će kralj reći onima s desne strane: ‘Dođite, vi blagoslovljeni od moga Oca, i primite u nasljedstvo Kraljevstvo pripremljeno za vas od postanka svijeta! 35 To je vaša nagrada, jer bio sam gladan, a vi ste me nahranili; bio sam žedan, a vi ste me napojili; bio sam stranac, a vi ste me ugostili; 36 bio sam gol, a vi ste me obukli; bio sam bolestan, a vi ste se brinuli za mene; bio sam u zatvoru, a vi ste me posjetili.’
37 Tada će mu pravednici reći: ‘Gospodine, kad smo te to vidjeli gladnoga i nahranili te, ili žednoga i dali ti piti? 38 Kad smo te vidjeli kao stranca i ugostili te, ili bez odjeće i obukli te? 39 I kad smo te to vidjeli bolesnoga, ili u zatvoru, i posjetili te?’
40 A kralj će im odgovoriti: ‘Istinu vam kažem: kad god ste učinili nešto za jednoga od ove moje najmanje braće, za mene ste učinili!’
41 Zatim će kralj reći i onima sa svoje lijeve strane: ‘Idite od mene, vi prokleti, u vječni plamen koji je pripremljen za đavla i njegove anđele! 42 Jer, bio sam gladan, a niste me nahranili; bio sam žedan, a niste mi dali piti; 43 bio sam stranac, a niste me primili u svoj dom; bio sam bez odjeće, a niste me odjenuli; bio sam bolestan i u zatvoru, a niste me posjetili.’
44 Tada će mu i oni reći: ‘Gospodine, kad smo te to vidjeli gladnog ili žednog, ili kao stranca, ili bez odjeće, ili bolesnog, ili u zatvoru, pa ti nismo pomogli?’
45 A on će im odgovoriti: ‘Istinu vam kažem: kad god niste nešto učinili za jednoga od ovih najmanjih, niste učinili ni za mene.’
46 Takvi će otići u vječnu muku, a pravednici u vječni život.«
