Berean Standard Bible
1Tunc simile erit regnum cælorum decem virginibus: quæ accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsæ.
1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuæ, et quinque prudentes:
2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3sed quinque fatuæ, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum:
3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.
4prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus.
4But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
5Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt.
5When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei.
6At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illæ, et ornaverunt lampades suas.
7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8Fatuæ autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostræ extinguuntur.
8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.
9‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quæ paratæ erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua.
10But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
11Novissime vero veniunt et reliquæ virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis.
11Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
12At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos.
12But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’
13Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.
13Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
14Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua.
14For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.
15Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem: et profectus est statim.
15To one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
16Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque.
16The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more.
17Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo.
17Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more.
18Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui.
18But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis.
19After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them.
20Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum.
20The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
21Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui.
21His 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. Enter into the joy of your master!’
22Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait: Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum.
22The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’
23Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui.
23His 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. Enter into the joy of your master!’
24Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es; metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti:
24Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est.
25So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
26Respondens autem dominus ejus, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi:
26‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.
27Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
28Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei qui habet decem talenta:
28Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
29omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo.
29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30Et inutilem servum ejicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium.
30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in majestate sua, et omnes angeli cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem majestatis suæ:
31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.
32et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hædis:
32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinistris.
33He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
34Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi:
34Then 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.
35esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis me:
35For 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,
36nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad me.
36I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
37Tunc respondebunt ei justi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum?
37Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?
38quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te: aut nudum, et cooperuimus te?
38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39aut quando te vidimus infirmum, aut in carcere, et venimus ad te?
39When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
40Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.
40And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
41Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem æternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis ejus:
41Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et non desistis mihi potum:
42For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
43hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me.
43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi?
44And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
45Tunc respondebit illis, dicens: Amen dico vobis: Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis.
45Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
46Et ibunt hi in supplicium æternum: justi autem in vitam æternam.
46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
