Matye 25
Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Parabòl dis jèn fi yo
25 Nan jou sa a, wayòm Bondye a ap tankou dis demwazèldonè ki te dwe al rankontre mesye marye a ak lanp yo pou yo ka klere chemen pwosesyon an pou li. 2 Senk ladan yo se te tèt cho, lòt senk yo te gen tèt yo anplas. 3 Medam tèt cho pran lanp yo se vre, men yo pa t pran pyès gaz rezèv. 4 Lòt senk medam yo, non sèlman yo te pote lanp, men yo te pote boutèy gaz yo tou. 5 Kòm mesye marye a pran tan pou rive, medam yo vin kagou epi yon ti dòmi vòlè yo.
6 A minwi, gen yon vwa ki anonse byen fò: Men mesye marye ap vini! Soti vin rankontre l.
7 Lè sa a tout medam yo reveye, epi yo kòmanse prepare lanp yo. 8 Kounye a, medam tèt cho yo di lòt medam yo: Ban nou ti gaz tanpri, lanp nou yo ap mouri!
9 Medam ki te gen tèt anplas yo reponn: Non, gaz nou genyen p ap ase pou nou tout. Al achte nan men machann yo.
10 Pandan medam tèt cho yo sou wout pou y al achte gaz, mesye marye a rive. Medam ki te pare yo antre nan sal bankè nòs la. Apre sa, yon responsab fèmen pòt la.
11 Lè lòt medam ki t al achte gaz yo retounen, yo kòmanse sipliye mesye marye a pou ouvri pou yo: Senyè, SENYÈ, ouvri pou nou!
12 Men li reponn yo: An verite, m pa konnen nou!
13 Konsa, nou dwe toujou pare, paske nou pa konnen ni ki jou, ni ki lè Pitit Lòm nan ap retounen.
Yon istwa sou twa sèvitè
(Lik 19:11-27)
14 Wayòm syèl la se tankou yon nonm ki ap pati pou yon vwayaj byen long. Li rele sèvitè li yo pou l ba yo responsab tout byen li genyen. 15 Li gade sou kapasite chak moun pou l konn ki kantite byen pou l bay yo responsab. Li rele yon premye li ba li senk sak lajan.[a] Li rele yon dezyèm, li ba li de sak. Li bay yon twazyèm yon sak. Apre sa li pati. 16 Sèvitè ki te resevwa senk sak lajan an pa t pèdi tan pou l te kòmanse fè l travay. Li fè yon benefis menm gwosè ak manman lajan an. 17 Sèvitè ki te resevwa de sak lajan an fè benefis de lòt sak. 18 Poutan, sèvitè ki te resevwa yon sèl sak lajan an fouye yon twou li sere lajan mèt li te ba l responsab la anba tè.
19 Apre yon bon tan deyò, mèt la retounen epi l rele sèvitè l yo pou yo vin ba l rapò. 20 Sèvitè ki te resevwa senk sak lajan an vini ak senk sak anplis. Li di: Mèt, ou te ban m responsab senk sak, men senk sak benefis mwen fè.
21 Mèt la di li: Konpliman, ou se yon bon sèvitè, yon sèvitè fidèl! Poutèt ou te fidèl nan ti bagay mwen pral ba w responsab anpil gwo bagay. Vin rejwi ak mèt ou!
22 Sèvitè ki te resevwa de sak la vini ak de lòt sak anplis. Li di: Mèt, ou te bann responsab de sak, men de lòt sak benefis mwen fè.
23 Mèt la di li: Konpliman, ou se yon bon sèvitè, yon sèvitè fidèl. Poutèt ou te fidèl nan ti bagay mwen pral ba w responsab anpil gwo bagay. Vin rejwi ak mèt ou!
24 Sèvitè ki te resevwa yon sèl sak lajan an vini. Li di mèt la: Mwen te konnen ou se nèg ki di. Ou rekòlte kote w pa t simen grenn. Ou ranmase fwi kote w pa t plante. 25 Mwen te pè. Konsa mwen te sere lajan w nan anba tè. Men lajan w, mwen pot tounen ba ou!
26 Mèt la reponn li: Ou se yon sèvitè mechan epi w parese! Ou te konnen m rekòlte kote m pa t simen grenn, m ranmase fwi kote w pa t plante, 27 pouki ou pa t met lajan m nan labank? Konsa, m ta jwenn yon ti enterè sou li.
28 Pran lajan an nan men l bay sèvitè ki fè lajan an rapòte dis (10) fwa plis la. 29 Wi, moun ki byen sèvi ak sa l gen nan men l ap resevwa plis toujou. Epi li p ap manke anyen! Men moun ki mal sèvi ak sa l gen nan men l, y a wete nan men l tout ti sa l te genyen. 30 Pran voryen an, voye l deyò nan fènwa a kote ki pral gen rèl ak manje dan.
Pitit Lòm nan gen pou jije tout moun
31 Lè Pitit Lòm nan vini ak tout otorite l ansanm ak tout anj li yo, l ap chita sou yon twòn ki montre tout glwa li. 32 Apre sa tout nasyon sou latè pral rasanble devan li. L ap separe yo youn ak lòt, menm jan yon bèje separe mouton ak kabrit. 33 L ap mete mouton yo sou bò dwat li, l ap mete kabrit yo sou bò gòch li.
34 Apre sa wa a pral di moun ki sou bò dwat li yo: Vin non, nou menm moun Papa m beni. Vin pran posesyon wayòm Papa m te prepare pou nou an depi nan kòmansman. 35 Wayòm nan se pou nou, paske lè m te grangou nou te bann manje. Lè m te swaf, nou te bann bwè. Lè m te etranje nan lari, nou te resevwa m lakay nou. 36 Lè m te touni nou te bann rad. Lè m te malad, nou te pran swen m. Lè m te nan prizon, nou te vizite m.
37 Lè sa a moun jis yo ap reponn: Senyè, ki lè nou te wè w grangou nou te ba w manje? Ki lè nou te wè w swaf, nou te ba w bwè? 38 Ki lè nou te wè w etranje nan lari, nou te resevwa w lakay nou? Ki lè nou te wè w touni nou te ba w rad? 39 Ki lè nou te wè w malad, nou te pran swen w? Ki lè nou te wè w nan prizon, nou te vizite w?
40 Lè sa a wa a va reponn yo: An verite, m ap di nou, chak fwa nou te fè sa pou youn nan pi piti nan frè m yo, se pou mwen nou te fè l.
41 Apre sa l ap di sa k sou bò gòch li yo: Rale kò nou sou mwen, bann moun modi! Ale nan dife lanfè ki te prepare pou dyab la ak anj li yo. 42 Lè m te grangou nou pa t bann manje. Lè m te swaf, nou pa t bann bwè. 43 Lè m te etranje nan lari, nou pa t resevwa m lakay nou. Lè m te touni nou pa t bann rad. Lè m te malad, nou pa t pran swen m. Lè m te nan prizon, nou pa t vizite m.
44 Lè sa a y ap reponn li: Senyè ki lè ou te grangou oswa swaf, oswa etranje nan lari, oswa touni, oswa nan prizon epi nou pa t ede w?
45 Lè sa a wa a va reponn yo: An verite, m ap di nou, chak fwa nou pa t fè sa pou youn nan pi piti nan frè m yo, se pou mwen nou pa t fè l.
46 Apre sa, moun ki te renmen fè mal yo pral resevwa yon pinisyon etènèl. Moun ki jis yo pral resevwa lavi etènèl.”

The Parable of the 10 Virgins
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins[a] who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.(A) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were sensible.(B) 3 When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take olive oil with them. 4 But the sensible ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps. 5 Since the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7 “Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 But the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9 “The sensible ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell, and buy oil for yourselves.’
10 “When they had gone to buy some, the groom arrived. Then those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.(C)
11 “Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, ‘Master, master, open up for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘I assure you: I do not know you!’
13 “Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour.[b]
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it is just like a man going on a journey.(D) He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents;[c] to another, two; and to another, one—to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey.(E) Immediately 16 the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more. 17 In the same way the man with two earned two more. 18 But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’
21 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’(F)
22 “Then the man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’
23 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’
24 “Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.(G) 25 So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’
26 “But his master replied to him, ‘You evil, lazy slave!(H) If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered, 27 then[d] you should have deposited my money with the bankers. And when I returned I would have received my money[e] back with interest.
28 “‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents. 29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.(I) 30 And throw this good-for-nothing slave into the outer darkness.(J) In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels[f](K) with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.(L) 32 All the nations[g](M) will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(N) 33 He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom(O) prepared for you from the foundation of the world.(P)
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 took Me in;
36 I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you took care of Me;
I was in prison and you visited Me.’(Q)
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 take You in, or without clothes and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and visit You?’
40 “And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’(R) 41 Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!(S)
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 didn’t take Me in;
I was naked
and you didn’t clothe Me,
sick and in prison
and you didn’t take care of Me.’
44 “Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?’
45 “Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’(T)
46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”(U)

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.
