1 Tunc simile erit regnum cælorum decem virginibus : quæ accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsæ. ||||||"to virgins"|||lamps||went out||the bridegroom||to the bride 1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. 2 Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuæ, et quinque prudentes : 3 sed quinque fatuæ, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : 4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. |||||foolish||||||||"with lamps"||took|oil|||||||vessels||| 2 But five of them were foolish, and five were wise: 3 but the foolish, taking their lamps, took no oil with them: 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. ||||they slept|||they slept 5 While the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. at midnight||night|||||bridegroom||go out|| 6 And at midnight a cry was heard: Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him. 7 Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illæ, et ornaverunt lampades suas. |||virgins|||they adorned|| Then all those virgins rose and adorned their lamps. 8 Fatuæ autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostræ extinguuntur. ||the wise|||||oil||||our|are going out But the foolish said to the wise: Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. 9 Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. ||||||suffice|||||||||buy| The wise answered, saying: Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quæ paratæ erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. ||were going||||||||entered||||||the door was closed||door 11 Novissime vero veniunt et reliquæ virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. ||||the remaining|||||open| 11 Then the last virgins come, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. |||||||I do not know| 12 But he responding, said: Truly I say to you, I do not know you. 13 Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam. 13 Therefore stay awake, for you do not know the day or the hour.

14 Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. |||"on a journey"|setting out|||||||| 14 For just as a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted his goods to them. 15 Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem : et profectus est statim. |to one||||||||||||his own|||"went away immediately"|| 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his own ability: and he went away immediately. 16 Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque. |||||had received||he worked|||||||| 16 Now he who had received the five talents went and worked with them, and gained five more. 17 Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo. ||||had received|||| 17 Similarly, he who had received two gained two more. 18 Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui. ||||going away|||||"hid"||| 18 But he who had received one went away, dug in the ground, and hid his master's money. 19 Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis. |||time|||of the servants|||||| 19 After a long time, however, the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens : Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum. |"approaching" or "coming forward"|||||he offered||||||||you have entrusted|||||I have gained| 21 Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam ; intra in gaudium domini tui. ||||Well done|||||||few|you have been|||||I will place you|||joy|| 21 His lord 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 lord. 22 Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait : Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum. 22 And he who had received the two talents came forward, saying: Lord, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more. 23 Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam ; intra in gaudium domini tui. 23 His lord 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 lord. 24 Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait : Domine, scio quia homo durus es ; metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti : 25 et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra : ecce habes quod tuum est. "Coming forward"|||||talent||||I know|||hard||reaping|||||gather|||you scattered||fearing|I went||I hid||||||||| 24 Then he who had received one talent came forward, saying: 'Lord, I know that you are a hard man; you reap where you did not sow, and gather where you scattered no seed.' 25 So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground: here you have what is yours. 26 Respondens autem dominus ejus, dixit ei : Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi : 27 oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura. |||||||||lazy|you knew||I reap|||sow||I gather|||I scattered||||to commit|||to the bankers||||"I would have received"|"certainly" or "surely"|||||interest 26 But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I scattered no seed. 27 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.' 28 Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei qui habet decem talenta : 29 omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit : ei autem qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo. ||||||||||||||to the one who has||||||||||||||| 28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.' 30 Et inutilem servum ejicite in tenebras exteriores : illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium. |useless|||||||||||

31 Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in majestate sua, et omnes angeli cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem majestatis suæ : 32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hædis : 33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinistris. ||||||||||||||he will sit||throne||||||||||he will separate|||||pastor|separates|||of the goats||will place||||||goats|||the left 31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne: 32 and all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats: 33 and He will place the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt : Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi : 35 esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare : sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere : hospes eram, et collegistis me : 36 nudus, et cooperuistis me : infirmus, et visitastis me : in carcere eram, et venistis ad me. ||||||||||blessed|||"Take possession of"|prepared for you||||foundation||I was hungry|||you gave|||I was thirsty|||||guest|I was||you collected||naked||you have fed||infirm||you visited||||||you have come|| 34 Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry, and you gave Me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; 36 I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' 37 Tunc respondebunt ei justi, dicentes : Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te : sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum ? |will answer||||||||hungry||we fed you||thirsty||we gave||a drink 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You?
