25:1

Τοτε ομοιωθησεται η βασιλεια των ουρανων δεκα παρθενοις αιτινες λαβουσαι τας λαμπαδας εαυτων εξηλθον εις υπαντησιν του νυμφιου

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

25:2

πεντε δε εξ αυτων ησαν μωραι και πεντε φρονιμοι

And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

25:3

αι γαρ μωραι λαβουσαι τας λαμπαδας αυτων ουκ ελαβον μεθ εαυτων ελαιον

For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:

25:4

αι δε φρονιμοι ελαβον ελαιον εν τοις αγγειοις μετα των λαμπαδων εαυτων

but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

25:5

χρονιζοντος δε του νυμφιου ενυσταξαν πασαι και εκαθευδον

Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

25:6

Μεσης δε νυκτος κραυγη γεγονεν Ιδου ο νυμφιος εξερχεσθε εις απαντησιν αυτου

But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

25:7

Τοτε ηγερθησαν πασαι αι παρθενοι εκειναι και εκοσμησαν τας λαμπαδας εαυτων

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

25:8

αι δε μωραι ταις φρονιμοις ειπαν Δοτε ημιν εκ του ελαιου υμων οτι αι λαμπαδες ημων σβεννυνται

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

25:9

Απεκριθησαν δε αι φρονιμοι λεγουσαι Μηποτε ου μη αρκεση ημιν και υμιν πορευεσθε μαλλον προς τους πωλουντας και αγορασατε εαυταις

But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

25:10

Απερχομενων δε αυτων αγορασαι ηλθεν ο νυμφιος και αι ετοιμοι εισηλθον μετ αυτου εις τους γαμους και εκλεισθη η θυρα

And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

25:11

Υστερον δε ερχονται και αι λοιπαι παρθενοι λεγουσαι Κυριε κυριε ανοιξον ημιν

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

25:12

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν Αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ οιδα υμας

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

25:13

Γρηγορειτε ουν οτι ουκ οιδατε την ημεραν ουδε την ωραν

Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

25:14

Ωσπερ γαρ ανθρωπος αποδημων εκαλεσεν τους ιδιους δουλους και παρεδωκεν αυτοις τα υπαρχοντα αυτου

For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

25:15

και ω μεν εδωκεν πεντε ταλαντα ω δε δυο ω δε εν εκαστω κατα την ιδιαν δυναμιν και απεδημησεν Ευθεως

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

25:16

Πορευθεις ο τα πεντε ταλαντα λαβων ηργασατο εν αυτοις και εκερδησεν αλλα πεντε

Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.

25:17

ωσαυτως ο τα δυο εκερδησεν αλλα δυο

In like manner he also that received the two gained other two.

25:18

ο δε το εν λαβων απελθων ωρυξεν γην και εκρυψεν το αργυριον του κυριου αυτου

But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

25:19

Μετα δε πολυν χρονον ερχεται ο κυριος των δουλων εκεινων και συναιρει λογον μετ αυτων

Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.

25:20

και προσελθων ο τα πεντε ταλαντα λαβων προσηνεγκεν αλλα πεντε ταλαντα λεγων Κυριε πεντε ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκας ιδε αλλα πεντε ταλαντα εκερδησα

And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.

25:21

Εφη αυτω ο κυριος αυτου Ευ δουλε αγαθε και πιστε επι ολιγα ης πιστος επι πολλων σε καταστησω εισελθε εις την χαραν του κυριου σου

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

25:22

Προσελθων δε και ο τα δυο ταλαντα ειπεν Κυριε δυο ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκας ιδε αλλα δυο ταλαντα εκερδησα

And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.

25:23

Εφη αυτω ο κυριος αυτου Ευ δουλε αγαθε και πιστε επι ολιγα ης πιστος επι πολλων σε καταστησω εισελθε εις την χαραν του κυριου σου

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

25:24

Προσελθων δε και ο το εν ταλαντον ειληφως ειπεν Κυριε εγνων σε οτι σκληρος ει ανθρωπος θεριζων οπου ουκ εσπειρας και συναγων οθεν ου διεσκορπισας

And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

25:25

και φοβηθεις απελθων εκρυψα το ταλαντον σου εν τη γη ιδε εχεις το σον

and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.

25:26

Αποκριθεις δε ο κυριος αυτου ειπεν αυτω Πονηρε δουλε και οκνηρε ηδεις οτι θεριζω οπου ουκ εσπειρα και συναγω οθεν ου διεσκορπισα

But 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 did not scatter;

25:27

εδει σε ουν βαλειν τα αργυρια μου τοις τραπεζιταις και ελθων εγω εκομισαμην αν το εμον συν τοκω

thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.

25:28

Αρατε ουν απ αυτου το ταλαντον και δοτε τω εχοντι τα δεκα ταλαντα

Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.

25:29

τω γαρ εχοντι παντι δοθησεται και περισσευθησεται του δε μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

25:30

και τον αχρειον δουλον εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων

And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

25:31

Οταν δε ελθη ο υιος του ανθρωπου εν τη δοξη αυτου και παντες οι αγγελοι μετ αυτου τοτε καθισει επι θρονου δοξης αυτου

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

25:32

και συναχθησονται εμπροσθεν αυτου παντα τα εθνη και αφορισει αυτους απ αλληλων ωσπερ ο ποιμην αφοριζει τα προβατα απο των εριφων

and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

25:33

και στησει τα μεν προβατα εκ δεξιων αυτου τα δε εριφια εξ ευωνυμων

and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

25:34

Τοτε ερει ο Βασιλευς τοις εκ δεξιων αυτου Δευτε οι ευλογημενοι του Πατρος μου κληρονομησατε την ητοιμασμενην υμιν βασιλειαν απο καταβολης κοσμου

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:

25:35

επεινασα γαρ και εδωκατε μοι φαγειν εδιψησα και εποτισατε με ξενος ημην και συνηγαγετε με

for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

25:36

γυμνος και περιεβαλετε με ησθενησα και επεσκεψασθε με εν φυλακη ημην και ηλθατε προς με

naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

25:37

Τοτε αποκριθησονται αυτω οι δικαιοι λεγοντες Κυριε ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα και εθρεψαμεν η διψωντα και εποτισαμεν

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?

25:38

ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ξενον και συνηγαγομεν η γυμνον και περιεβαλομεν

And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

25:39

ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ασθενουντα η εν φυλακη και ηλθομεν προς σε

And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

25:40

Και αποκριθεις ο Βασιλευς ερει αυτοις Αμην λεγω υμιν εφ οσον εποιησατε ενι τουτων των αδελφων μου των ελαχιστων εμοι εποιησατε

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.

¹

25:41

Τοτε ερει και τοις εξ ευωνυμων Πορευεσθε απ εμου οι κατηραμενοι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον το ητοιμασμενον τω διαβολω και τοις αγγελοις αυτου

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:

25:42

επεινασα γαρ και ουκ εδωκατε μοι φαγειν εδιψησα και ουκ εποτισατε με

for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;

25:43

ξενος ημην και ου συνηγαγετε με γυμνος και ου περιεβαλετε με ασθενης και εν φυλακη και ουκ επεσκεψασθε με

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.

25:44

Τοτε αποκριθησονται και αυτοι λεγοντες Κυριε ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα η διψωντα η ξενον η γυμνον η ασθενη η εν φυλακη και ου διηκονησαμεν σοι

Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

25:45

Τοτε αποκριθησεται αυτοις λεγων Αμην λεγω υμιν εφ οσον ουκ εποιησατε ενι τουτων των ελαχιστων ουδε εμοι εποιησατε

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.

25:46

Και απελευσονται ουτοι εις κολασιν αιωνιον οι δε δικαιοι εις ζωην αιωνιον

And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
