1 Tad Debesu valstība būs līdzīga desmit jaunavām, kas ņēma savus lukturus un izgāja līgavainim pretim. 2 Bet piecas no tām bija ģeķīgas, un piecas bija gudras. 3 Jo ģeķīgās ņēma savus lukturus, bet eļļas tās nepaņēma sev līdzi. 4 Bet gudrās paņēma sev līdz ar lukturiem arī eļļu savos traukos. 5 Kad līgavainis kavējās nākt, tad viņas visas iesnaudās un gulēja. 6 Bet nakts vidū balss atskanēja: redzi, līgavainis nāk, izeita viņam pretim. 7 Tad visas jaunavas cēlās un sakārtoja savus lukturus. 8 Bet ģeķīgās sacīja gudrajām: dodiet mums no savas eļļas, jo mūsu lukturi izdziest. 9 Bet gudrās atbildēja un sacīja: tā ne, lai nepietrūktu mums un jums, bet noeita labāk pie pārdevējiem un pērciet sev. 10 Un, kad tās aizgāja pirkt, nāca līgavainis, un, kas bija gatavas, iegāja ar viņu kāzās, un durvis aizslēdza. 11 Pēc tam atnāca arī pārējās jaunavas un sacīja: kungs, kungs, atdari mums! 12 Bet tas atbildēja un sacīja: patiesi es jums saku: es jūs nepazīstu. 13 Tāpēc esiet modrīgi, jo jūs nezināt ne dienu, nedz stundu, kurā Cilvēka Dēls nāks. 14 Tas tāpat kā ar cilvēku, kas aizceļodams saaicināja savus kalpus un nodeva tiem savu mantu, 15 un vienam viņš deva piecus talentus, otram divus un trešam vienu, katram pēc viņa spējām, un pats tūdaļ aizceļoja. 16 Tūlīt nogāja tas, kas bija dabūjis piecus talentus, darbojās ar tiem un sapelnīja vēl piecus. 17 Tā arī tas, kas bija dabūjis divus, sapelnīja vēl divus klāt. 18 Bet tas, kas bija dabūjis vienu, aizgāja un ieraka to zemē un tā paslēpa sava kunga naudu. 19 Bet pēc ilga laika šo kalpu kungs atnāca un sāka norēķināties ar tiem. 20 Tad atnāca tas, kas bija dabūjis piecus talentus, atnesa vēl piecus un sacīja: kungs, tu man iedevi piecus talentus; redzi, es sapelnīju vēl piecus. 21 Un viņa kungs sacīja tam: labi, tu godīgais un uzticīgais kalps. Tu esi bijis uzticīgs pār mazumu, es tevi iecelšu pār daudzumu. Ieej sava kunga priekā. 22 Arī tas, kas bija dabūjis divus talentus, atnāca un sacīja: kungs, tu man iedevi divus talentus; redzi, es sapelnīju vēl divus. 23 Viņa kungs sacīja tam: labi, tu godīgais un uzticīgais kalps. Tu esi bijis uzticīgs pār mazumu, es tevi iecelšu pār daudzumu. Ieej sava kunga priekā. 24 Bet atnāca arī tas, kas bija dabūjis vienu talentu, un sacīja: es pazīstu tevi kā bargu cilvēku, tu pļauj, kur neesi sējis, un salasi, kur neesi kaisījis. 25 Es baidījos un aizgāju un apraku tavu talentu zemē. Te viņš ir, ņem savu mantu. 26 Bet viņa kungs atbildēja tam un sacīja: tu blēdīgais un kūtrais kalps. Ja tu zināji, ka es pļauju, kur neesmu sējis, un salasu, kur neesmu kaisījis, 27 tad tev vajadzēja dot manu mantu naudas mainītājiem; es pārnācis būtu saņēmis savu naudu ar augļiem. 28 Tāpēc ņemiet viņa talentu un dodiet to tam, kam ir desmit talentu. 29 Jo ikvienam, kam ir, tiks dots, un tam būs pārpilnība, bet no tā, kam nav, atņems to, kas tam ir. 30 Un nelietīgo kalpu izmetiet galējā tumsībā, tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana. 31 Bet, kad Cilvēka Dēls nāks Savā godībā un visi eņģeļi līdz ar Viņu, tad Viņš sēdēs uz Sava godības krēsla. 32 Un visas tautas tiks sapulcētas Viņa priekšā; un Viņš tās šķirs, kā gans šķir avis no āžiem, 33 un liks avis pa Savu labo, bet āžus pa kreiso roku. 34 Tad Ķēniņš sacīs tiem, kas pa labo roku: nāciet šurp, jūs Mana Tēva svētītie, iemantojiet Valstību, kas jums ir sataisīta no pasaules iesākuma. 35 Jo Es biju izsalcis un jūs esat Mani paēdinājuši; Es biju izslāpis un jūs esat Mani dzirdinājuši; Es biju svešinieks un jūs esat Mani uzņēmuši. 36 Es biju pliks un jūs esat Mani apģērbuši; Es biju slims un jūs esat Mani apmeklējuši; Es biju cietumā un jūs esat nākuši pie Manis. 37 Tad taisnie atbildēs Viņam un sacīs: Kungs, kad mēs esam Tevi redzējuši izsalkušu un Tevi paēdinājuši? Vai izslāpušu un Tevi dzirdinājuši? 38 Kad mēs esam Tevi redzējuši kā svešinieku un Tevi uzņēmuši? Vai pliku un Tevi apģērbuši? 39 Kad mēs esam Tevi redzējuši slimu vai cietumā un nākuši pie Tevis? 40 Tad Ķēniņš tiem atbildēs un sacīs: patiesi Es jums saku: ko jūs esat darījuši vienam no šiem Maniem vismazākajiem brāļiem, to jūs esat Man darījuši. 41 Tad Viņš arī sacīs tiem, kas pa kreiso roku: eita nost no Manis, jūs nolādētie, mūžīgā ugunī, kas sataisīta velnam un viņa eņģeļiem. 42 Jo Es biju izsalcis un jūs neesat Mani paēdinājuši; Es biju izslāpis un jūs neesat Mani dzirdinājuši. 43 Es biju svešinieks un jūs neesat Mani uzņēmuši; Es biju pliks, un jūs neesat Mani apģērbuši; Es biju slims un cietumā un jūs neesat Mani apmeklējuši. 44 Tad tie arīdzan Viņam atbildēs un sacīs: Kungs, kad mēs esam Tevi redzējuši izsalkušu vai izslāpušu, vai kā svešinieku, vai pliku, vai slimu, vai cietumā un neesam Tev kalpojuši? 45 Tad Viņš tiem atbildēs un sacīs: patiesi Es jums saku: ko jūs neesat darījuši vienam no šiem vismazākajiem, to jūs arīdzan Man neesat darījuši. 46 Un tie ieies mūžīgā sodībā, bet taisnie mūžīgā dzīvībā."
1 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.
