25 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference

1Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἱτινες λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου. "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.The Parable of the Ten Maidens Mt.25.1-13
2πέντε δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἦσαν μωραὶ καὶ πέντε φρόνιμοι. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 
3αἱ γὰρ μωραὶ λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐλαβον μεθ' ἑαυτῶν ἐλαιον· For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; 
4αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἐλαβον ἐλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων ἑαυτῶν. but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 
5χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευδον. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 
6μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς κραυγὴ γέγονεν, Ἰδοὺ ὁ νυμφίος, ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ. But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 
7τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν. Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps. 
8αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπαν, Δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 
9ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι λέγουσαι, Μήποτε οὐ μὴ ἀρκέσῃ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς. But the wise replied, 'Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' 
10ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι ἦλθεν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ αἱ ἑτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. 
11ὑστερον δὲ ἐρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι λέγουσαι, Κύριε κύριε, ἀνοιξον ἡμῖν. Afterward the other maidens came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.' 
12ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς. But he replied, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 
13Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἰδατε τὴν ἡμέραν οὐδὲ τὴν ὡραν. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. 
14Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ἀποδημῶν ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ἰδίους δούλους καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, "For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property;The Parable of the Talents Mt.25.14-30 | Lk.19.11-27 | [ Mt.25.14-30 → ]

15καὶ ᾧ μὲν ἐδωκεν πέντε τάλαντα, ᾧ δὲ δύο, ᾧ δὲ ἑν, ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν. εὐθέως to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 
16πορευθεὶς ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν ἠργάσατο ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκέρδησεν ἀλλα πέντε· He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. 
17ὡσαύτως ὁ τὰ δύο ἐκέρδησεν ἀλλα δύο. So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. 
18ὁ δὲ τὸ ἓν λαβὼν ἀπελθὼν ὠρυξεν γῆν καὶ ἐκρυψεν τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 
19μετὰ δὲ πολὺν χρόνον ἐρχεται ὁ κύριος τῶν δούλων ἐκείνων καὶ συναίρει λόγον μετ' αὐτῶν. Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 
20καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν προσήνεγκεν ἀλλα πέντε τάλαντα λέγων, Κύριε, πέντε τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἰδε ἀλλα πέντε τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.' 
21ἐφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, Εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ, ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἰσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου. His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 
22προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο τάλαντα εἶπεν, Κύριε, δύο τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἰδε ἀλλα δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα. And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.' 
23ἐφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, Εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ, ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἰσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου. His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 
24προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἓν τάλαντον εἰληφὼς εἶπεν, Κύριε, ἐγνων σε ὅτι σκληρὸς εἶ ἄνθρωπος, θερίζων ὁπου οὐκ ἐσπειρας καὶ συνάγων ὁθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας· He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; 
25καὶ φοβηθεὶς ἀπελθὼν ἐκρυψα τὸ τάλαντόν σου ἐν τῇ γῇ· ἰδε ἐχεις τὸ σόν. so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 
26ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Πονηρὲ δοῦλε καὶ ὀκνηρέ, ᾐδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὁπου οὐκ ἐσπειρα καὶ συνάγω ὁθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισὰ; But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? 
27ἐδει σε οὖν βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ. Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 
28ἀρατε οὖν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον καὶ δότε τῷ ἐχοντι τὰ δέκα τάλαντα· So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. 
29τῷ γὰρ ἐχοντι παντὶ δοθήσεται καὶ περισσευθήσεται· τοῦ δὲ μὴ ἐχοντος καὶ ὃ ἐχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 
30καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἐσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.' 
31Ὅταν δὲ ἐλθῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀγγελοι μετ' αὐτοῦ, τότε καθίσει ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ· "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.The Judgment of the Nations Mt.25.31-46

32καὶ συναχθήσονται ἐμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ ἐθνη, καὶ ἀφορίσει αὐτοὺς ἀπ' ἀλλήλων, ὡσπερ ὁ ποιμὴν ἀφορίζει τὰ πρόβατα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐρίφων, Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 
33καὶ στήσει τὰ μὲν πρόβατα ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ δὲ ἐρίφια ἐξ εὐωνύμων. and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 
34τότε ἐρεῖ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, Δεῦτε, οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ πατρός μου, κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου· Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 
35ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἠμην καὶ συνηγάγετέ με, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 
36γυμνὸς καὶ περιεβάλετέ με, ἠσθένησα καὶ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με, ἐν φυλακῇ ἠμην καὶ ἠλθατε πρός με. I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 
37τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ οἱ δίκαιοι λέγοντες, Κύριε, πότε σε εἰδομεν πεινῶντα καὶ ἐθρέψαμεν, ἢ διψῶντα καὶ ἐποτίσαμεν; Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 
38πότε δέ σε εἰδομεν ξένον καὶ συνηγάγομεν, ἢ γυμνὸν καὶ περιεβάλομεν; And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 
39πότε δέ σε εἰδομεν ἀσθενοῦντα ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ ἠλθομεν πρός σὲ; And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 
40καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ' ὁσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων, ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε. And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' 
41Τότε ἐρεῖ καὶ τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων, Πορεύεσθε ἀπ' ἐμοῦ [οἱ] κατηραμένοι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ· Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 
42ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ οὐκ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ οὐκ ἐποτίσατέ με, for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 
43ξένος ἠμην καὶ οὐ συνηγάγετέ με, γυμνὸς καὶ οὐ περιεβάλετέ με, ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 
44τότε ἀποκριθήσονται καὶ αὐτοὶ λέγοντες, Κύριε, πότε σε εἰδομεν πεινῶντα ἢ διψῶντα ἢ ξένον ἢ γυμνὸν ἢ ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοὶ; Then they also will answer, '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?' 
45τότε ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτοῖς λέγων, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ' ὁσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε. Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' 
46καὶ ἀπελεύσονται οὗτοι εἰς κόλασιν αἰώνιον, οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
