| 25 1 | 'When that day comes, the kingdom of Heaven will be like this. There were ten girls, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. | The Parable of the Ten Maidens Mt.25.1-13 (Olivet) | Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἱτινες λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου. |
|
| 2 | Five of them were foolish, and five prudent; | | πέντε δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἦσαν μωραὶ καὶ πέντε φρόνιμοι. |
|
| 3 | when the foolish ones took their lamps, they took no oil with them, | | αἱ γὰρ μωραὶ λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐλαβον μεθ' ἑαυτῶν ἐλαιον· |
|
| 4 | but the others took flasks of oil with their lamps. | | αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἐλαβον ἐλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων ἑαυτῶν. |
|
| 5 | As the bridegroom was late in coming they all dozed off to sleep. | | χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευδον. |
|
| 6 | But at midnight a cry was heard: "Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him." | | μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς κραυγὴ γέγονεν, Ἰδοὺ ὁ νυμφίος, ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 7 | With that the girls all got up and trimmed their lamps. | | τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν. |
|
| 8 | The foolish said to the prudent, "Our lamps are going out; give us some of your oil." | | αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπαν, Δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται. |
|
| 9 | "No," they said; "there will never be enough for us both. You had better go to the shop and buy some for yourselves." | | ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι λέγουσαι, Μήποτε οὐ μὴ ἀρκέσῃ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς. |
|
| 10 | While they were away the bridegroom arrived; those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. | | ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι ἦλθεν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ αἱ ἑτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα. |
|
| 11 | And then the other five came back. "Sir, sir," they cried, "open the door for us." | | ὑστερον δὲ ἐρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι λέγουσαι, Κύριε κύριε, ἀνοιξον ἡμῖν. |
|
| 12 | But he answered, "'I declare, I do not know you." | | ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς. |
|
| 13 | Keep awake then; for you never know the day or the hour.
| | Γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἰδατε τὴν ἡμέραν οὐδὲ τὴν ὡραν. |
