1`Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
3they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
3But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them.
4and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5`And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,
5And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.
6And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him.
7`Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,
7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
8And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9and the prudent answered, saying--Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.
9The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.
10`And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;
10Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut.
11and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;
11But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.
12But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13`Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
13Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14`For--as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,
14For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods;
15and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
15And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16`And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;
16And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five.
17in like manner also he who <FI>received<Fi> the two, he gained, also he, other two;
17And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two.
18and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
18But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money.
19`And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
19But after a long time the lord of those servants came and reckoned with them.
20and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.
20And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above.
21`And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
21His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22`And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them.
22And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two.
23`His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.
23His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24`And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;
24But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!
25And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26`And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!
26And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed.
27it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.
27Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28`Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
28Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that hath ten talents.
29for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;
29For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
30And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31`And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;
31And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,
32And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left.
33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34`Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
34Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;
35For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.
36Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37`Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
37Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?
38and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?
38Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee?
39and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?
39Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?
40`And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did <FI>it<Fi> to one of these my brethren--the least--to me ye did <FI>it<Fi> .
40And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;
41Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
42for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;
42For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink.
43a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.
43I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
44`Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?
44Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee?
