|
|
| 3 Who foolish, having taken the lamps of them, not took with themselves oil.
|
|
| 4 The but prudent took oil in the vessels of them with the lamps of them.
|
|
| 5 Delaying and the bridegroom, nodded all, and did sleep.
|
|
| 6 Of middle and night a cry was raised; Lo, the bridegroom comes; go out to a meeting of him.
|
|
| 7 Then arose all the virgins those, and put in order the lamps of them.
|
|
| 8 The but foolish to the prudent said: Give to us out of the oil of you, because the lamps of us are extinguished.
|
|
| 9 Answered but the prudent, saying: Lest not it might suffice to us and to you; go you rather to the selling, and buy to yourselves.
|
|
| 10 Going away and of them to buy, came the bridegroom; and the prepared ones entered with him into the nuptial-feasts; and was closed the door.
|
|
| 11 Afterwards and came also the remaining virgins, saying: O lord, O lord, open to us.
|
|
| 12 The but answering said: Indeed I say to you, not know you.
|
|
| 13 Watch you therefore, because not you know the day, nor the hour.

|
| 14 Like for a man going abroad called the own slaves, and delivered to them the goods of him.
|
|
| 15 and to him indeed he gave five talents, to him and two, to him and one; to each according to the own power; and went abroad immediately.
|
|
| 16 Going and he the five talents having received, traded with them, and made other five talents.
|
|
| 17 Likewise also he the two, gained also he other two.
|
|
| 18 He but the one having received having retired digged in the earth, and hid the silver of the lord of him.
|
|
| 19 After but time much comes the lord of the slaves those, and adjusts with them an account.
|
|
| 20 And coming he the five talents having received, brought other five talents, saying: O lord, five talents to me thou delivered; see, other five talents I gained upon them.
|
|
| 21 Said to him the lord of him: Well, O slave good and faithful; over a few (things) thou wast faithful, over many thee I will place; enter into the joy of the lord of thee.
|
|
| 22 Coming and also he the two talents having received, said: O lord, two talents to me thou deliveredst; lo, other two talents I gained upon them;
|
|
| 23 Said to him the lord of him: Well, O slave good and faithful; over a few (things) thou wast faithful, over many thee I will place; enter into the joy of the lord of thee.
|
|
| 24 Coming and also he the one talent having taken, said: O lord, I knew thee, that hard thou art a man, reaping where not thou sowed, and gathering whence not thou scatteredst;
|
|
| 25 and being afraid, going away I hid the talent of thee in the earth; lo, thou hast the thine.
|
|
| 26 Answering and the lord of him said to him: O wicked slave and slothful, didst thou know, that I reap where not I sowed, and gather whence not I scattered?
|
|
| 27 It behooved then thee cast the silver of me to the bankers; and coming I might have received the mine with interest.
|
|
| 28 Take you therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents.
|
|
| 29 To the for having all shall be given, and he shall abound; from but the not having, even what he has, shall be taken away from him.
|
|
| 30 And the useless slave cast you into the darkness the outer; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
|
|
| 31 When and may come the son of the man in the glory of him, and all the messengers with him, then shall be sit on a throne of glory of him,
|
|
| 32 and will be gathered in presence of him all the nations; and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
|
|
| 33 and and he will place the indeed sheep by right of him, the and goats by left.
|
|
| 34 Then will say the king to the by right of him: Come the having been blessed of the Father of me, inherit the having been prepared to you kingdom from a foundation of world.
|
|
| 35 I hungered for, and you gave to me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave drink to me; a stranger I was, and you entertained me;
|
|
| 36 naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; in prison I was, and you came to me.
|
|
| 37 Then shall answer to him the just one, saying: O lord, when thee we saw hungering, and nourished? or thirsting, and we gave drink?
|
|
| 38 When and thee we saw a stranger, and we entertained? or naked, and we clothed?
|
|
| 39 When and thee we saw sick, or in prison, and we came to thee?
|
|
| 40 And answering the king will say to them: Indeed I say to you, in whatever you did, to one of these of the brothers of me of the least, to me you did.
|
|
| 41 Then he will say also to the of left: Go from me the having been cursed into the fire the everlasting, that having been prepared to the accuser and to the messengers of him.
|
|
| 42 I hungered for, and not you gave to me to eat; I thirsted, and not you gave drink to me;
|
|
| 43 a stranger I was, and not you entertained me; naked, and not you clothed me; sick, and in prison, and not you visited me.
|
|
| 44 Then will answer and they, saying: O lord, when thee we saw hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and not we served thee?
|
|
| 45 Then he will answer them, saying: Indeed I say to you, in as much not you did to one of these of the least, neither to me you did.
|
|
| 46 And shall go away these into a cutting-off age-lasting; the and just ones into life age-lasting.
