25 ¶ Se konsa, nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la se va tankou istwa dis jennfi ki pran lanp yo, ki soti al kontre msye marye a.
2 Senk nan yo te tèt chaje, senk lòt yo te gen bon konprann.
3 Tèt chaje yo te pran lanp yo ase. Yo pa t' pote gaz an rezèv.
4 Men sa ki te gen bon konprann yo te pote yon boutèy plen gaz ansanm ak lanp yo.
5 Pandan yo t'ap tann msye marye a ki te an reta, yo tout pran kabicha, dòmi vòlò yo.
6 Nan mitan lannwit lan, yon rèl pati: Men msye marye a. Ann al kontre li.
7 Dis jennfi yo leve, yo pran pare lanp yo.
8 Tèt chaje yo mande sak gen bon konprann yo: Tanpri, ban nou ti gout nan gaz nou pote a, paske lanp pa nou yo ap mouri.
9 Men, senk ki te gen bon konprann yo reponn: Non, nou pa kapab, paske pa gen ase pou nou tout. Pito n' al achte nan men machann yo.
10 Antan tèt chaje yo al achte gaz la, msye marye a vin rive. Senk jennfi ki te pare yo antre ansanm avè l' nan kay nòs la. Yo fèmen pòt la dèyè yo.
11 Pita, lòt jennfi yo vin rive, yo di konsa: Mèt, Mèt, louvri pou nou.
12 Men msye marye a reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: m' pa konnen nou.
13 Apre sa, Jezi di yo: Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, paske, nou pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè sa va rive.
14 ¶ Vwala, se va tankou yon nonm ki tapral pati pou yon vwayaj. Li rele domestik li yo, li mete yo reskonsab byen li yo.
15 Li bay yonn senkmil (5.000) goud, li bay yon lòt demil (2.000) goud, li bay yon twazyèm mil (1.000) goud. Konsa li bay yo chak dapre sa l' konnen yo ka fè. Lèfini, li pati.
16 Lamenm, domestik ki te resevwa senkmil (5.000) goud la al fè lajan an travay. Li rapòte l' senkmil (5.000) goud benefis.
17 Konsa tou, domestik ki te resevwa demil (2.000) goud la fè demil (2.000) goud benefis.
18 Sa ki te resevwa mil (1.000) goud la menm ale, li fouye yon twou nan tè, li sere lajan mèt la.
19 Lontan apre sa, mèt domestik yo tounen, li pran fè regleman ak yo.
20 Domestik ki te resevwa senkmil goud la pwoche, li pote senkmil goud benefis la ba li, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen senkmil goud. Men senkmil goud benefis mwen fè.
21 Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè toujou. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
22 Domestik ki te resevwa demil goud la pwoche apre sa, li di: Mèt, ou te ban mwen demil goud, men demil goud benefis mwen fè.
23 Mèt la di l': Sa se bèl bagay. Ou se yon bon domestik ki travay byen. Paske ou te fè ti travay sa a byen, m'ap mete ou reskonsab pi gwo zafè ankò. vin fè fèt avèk mèt ou.
24 Apre sa, domestik ki te resevwa sèlman mil goud la pwoche, li di: Mèt, mwen konnen ou se yon nonm ki di. Ou rekolte kote ou pa t' simen, ou ranmase kote ou pa t' plante.
25 Mwen te pè, se sak fè mwen te al sere mil goud ou a anba tè. Men, pran lajan ou.
26 Mèt la reponn li: Gade jan ou se yon move domestik, ou parese konsa! Ou te konnen mwen rekolte kote mwen pa t' simen, mwen ranmase kote mwen pa t' plante.
27 Enben, se pou ou te mete lajan m' labank. Lè m' ta tounen, mwen ta wete manman lajan an ak yon enterè sou li.
28 Wete mil goud la nan men l', pran l' bay sa ki gen dimil (10.000) goud la.
29 Paske, moun ki genyen deja a, y'a ba li ankò; konsa la gen depase sa l' bezwen an. Men, moun ki pa gen anyen an, y'a wete nan men l' menm ti sa l' te genyen an.
30 Kanta domestik ki pa vo anyen an, jete l' deyò nan fènwa a. Se lè sa a va gen rèl, se lè sa a va gen manje dan.
31 ¶ Lè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va vini nan tout bèl pouvwa li ak tout zanj li yo, la chita sou fotèy li ak tout bèl pouvwa li.
32 Tout nasyon ki sou latè va sanble devan li. Lè sa a, la separe yo fè de gwoup, menm jan moun k'ap gade mouton mete mouton yon bò, kabrit yon bò.
33 La mete mouton yo sou bò dwat li, kabrit yo sou bò gòch li.
34 Apre sa, wa a va pale ak sa ki sou bò dwat li yo, la di: Vini non, nou menm ki resevwa benediksyon Papa m', vin pran posesyon peyi ki te pare pou nou depi lè Bondye t'ap kreye lemonn lan.
35 Mwen te grangou, nou ban m' manje; mwen te swaf dlo, nou ban m' bwè. Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou te resevwa m' lakay nou.
36 Mwen te toutouni, nou te ban m' rad. Mwen te malad, nou pran swen m'; mwen te nan prizon, nou vin wè mwen.
37 Lè sa a, moun ki te fè byen yo va reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou pou n' te ba ou manje? Kilè nou te wè ou swaf dlo pou nou te ba ou bwè?
38 Kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, pou nou te resevwa ou lakay nou? Osinon toutouni, pou n' te ba ou rad?
39 Kilè nou te wè ou malad, osinon nan prizon, pou n' te al wè ou?
40 Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou te fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti pami frè m' yo, se pou mwen nou te fè li.
41 Apre sa, la pale avèk sa ki sou bò gòch li yo, la di: Wete kò nou sou mwen, nou menm ki gen madichon! Al nan dife ki p'ap janm mouri an, dife ki te pare pou dyab la ak zanj li yo.
42 Mwen te grangou, nou pa t' ban m' manje, mwen te swaf dlo, nou pa t' ban m' bwè.
43 Mwen te lwen peyi m', nou pa t' resevwa m' lakay nou. Mwen te toutouni, nou pa t' ban m' anyen pou mwen te mete sou mwen. Mwen te malad, mwen te nan prizon, nou pa t' vin wè mwen.
44 Lè sa a, y'a reponn li: Mèt, kilè nou te wè ou grangou, osinon swaf dlo, kilè nou te wè ou lwen peyi ou, osinon toutouni, kilè nou te wè ou malad osinon nan prizon, jouk pou nou pa t' ba ou lasistans?
45 Wa a va reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: chak fwa nou pa t' fè sa pou yonn nan pi piti sa yo, se pou mwen nou pa t' fè li.
46 Apre sa, l'ap voye yo resevwa chatiman ki p'ap janm fini an. Men, pou moun ki te fè byen yo, y'ap antre nan lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

Matthew 25
New International Version
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like(A) ten virgins who took their lamps(B) and went out to meet the bridegroom.(C) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(D) 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.(E)
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’(F)
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet.(G) And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’(H)
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.(I)
The Parable of the Bags of Gold(J)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey,(K) 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.(L) 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.(M) 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.(N) 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.(O) 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.(P) 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(Q)
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes(R) in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.(S) 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate(T) the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(U) 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom(V) prepared for you since the creation of the world.(W) 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,(X) 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,(Y) I was sick and you looked after me,(Z) I was in prison and you came to visit me.’(AA)
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’(AB)
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(AC) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(AD) prepared for the devil and his angels.(AE) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(AF)
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.(AG)”(AH)

Chapter 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins.[a] 1 “Then[b] the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 [c]Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, 4 but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ 10 While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. 11 [d](A)Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ 12 But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 (B)Therefore, stay awake,[e] for you know neither the day nor the hour.
The Parable of the Talents.[f] 14 (C)“It will be as when a man who was going on a journey[g] called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents;[h] to another, two; to a third, one—to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately 16 the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. 17 Likewise, the one who received two made another two. 18 [i]But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. 19 After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. 20 The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five.[j] He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ 21 (D)His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ 22 [Then] the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ 24 Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; 25 so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’ 26 His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant![k] So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter? 27 Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? 28 Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. 29 [l](E)For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 [m]And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’
The Judgment of the Nations.[n] 31 (F)“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, 32 (G)and all the nations[o] will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 (H)For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ 37 Then the righteous[p] will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ 40 (I)And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ 41 [q](J)Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 (K)For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ 44 [r]Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ 45 He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ 46 (L)And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Footnotes
- 25:1–13 Peculiar to Matthew.
- 25:1 Then: at the time of the parousia. Kingdom…will be like: see note on Mt 13:24–30.
- 25:2–4 Foolish…wise: cf. the contrasted “wise man” and “fool” of Mt 7:24, 26 where the two are distinguished by good deeds and lack of them, and such deeds may be signified by the oil of this parable.
- 25:11–12 Lord, Lord: cf. Mt 7:21. I do not know you: cf. Mt 7:23 where the Greek verb is different but synonymous.
- 25:13 Stay awake: some scholars see this command as an addition to the original parable of Matthew’s traditional material, since in Mt 25:5 all the virgins, wise and foolish, fall asleep. But the wise virgins are adequately equipped for their task, and stay awake may mean no more than to be prepared; cf. Mt 24:42, 44.
- 25:14–30 Cf. Lk 19:12–27.
- 25:14 It will be as when…journey: literally, “For just as a man who was going on a journey.” Although the comparison is not completed, the sense is clear; the kingdom of heaven is like the situation here described. Faithful use of one’s gifts will lead to participation in the fullness of the kingdom, lazy inactivity to exclusion from it.
- 25:15 Talents: see note on Mt 18:24.
- 25:18 Buried his master’s money: see note on Mt 13:44.
- 25:20–23 Although the first two servants have received and doubled large sums, their faithful trading is regarded by the master as fidelity in small matters only, compared with the great responsibilities now to be given to them. The latter are unspecified. Share your master’s joy: probably the joy of the banquet of the kingdom; cf. Mt 8:11.
- 25:26–28 Wicked, lazy servant: this man’s inactivity is not negligible but seriously culpable. As punishment, he loses the gift he had received, that is now given to the first servant, whose possessions are already great.
- 25:29 See note on Mt 13:12 where there is a similar application of this maxim.
- 25:30 See note on Mt 8:11–12.
- 25:31–46 The conclusion of the discourse, which is peculiar to Matthew, portrays the final judgment that will accompany the parousia. Although often called a “parable,” it is not really such, for the only parabolic elements are the depiction of the Son of Man as a shepherd and of the righteous and the wicked as sheep and goats, respectively (Mt 25:32–33). The criterion of judgment will be the deeds of mercy that have been done for the least of Jesus’ brothers (Mt 25:40). A difficult and important question is the identification of these least brothers. Are they all people who have suffered hunger, thirst, etc. (Mt 25:35, 36) or a particular group of such sufferers? Scholars are divided in their response and arguments can be made for either side. But leaving aside the problem of what the traditional material that Matthew edited may have meant, it seems that a stronger case can be made for the view that in the evangelist’s sense the sufferers are Christians, probably Christian missionaries whose sufferings were brought upon them by their preaching of the gospel. The criterion of judgment for all the nations is their treatment of those who have borne to the world the message of Jesus, and this means ultimately their acceptance or rejection of Jesus himself; cf. Mt 10:40, “Whoever receives you, receives me.” See note on Mt 16:27.
- 25:32 All the nations: before the end the gospel will have been preached throughout the world (Mt 24:14); thus the Gentiles will be judged on their response to it. But the phrase all the nations includes the Jews also, for at the judgment “the Son of Man…will repay everyone according to his conduct” (Mt 16:27).
- 25:37–40 The righteous will be astonished that in caring for the needs of the sufferers they were ministering to the Lord himself. One of these least brothers of mine: cf. Mt 10:42.
- 25:41 Fire prepared…his angels: cf. 1 Enoch 10:13 where it is said of the evil angels and Semyaza, their leader, “In those days they will lead them into the bottom of the fire—and in torment—in the prison (where) they will be locked up forever.”
- 25:44–45 The accursed (Mt 25:41) will be likewise astonished that their neglect of the sufferers was neglect of the Lord and will receive from him a similar answer.
