Matthew 25 Kata Mathaion 25
1Tote homoiiti tas basileias toiu ouranoiu deka parthenai, hotinais labarantais tain lampadain ⸀heautaiu exerchala eis ⸀hupantēsian tou numfiou.“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2pente de ⸂ek autaiu ale⸃ ⸂mōrais kai pente fronimais.⸃Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3⸂tais gar⸃ mōrais labarantais tain lampadain autaiu ouk labala meta heautaiu elaiem;The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil. 4tais de fronimais labala elaiem en tei ⸀angeiei meta taiu lampadaiu ⸀heautaiu.But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5chronizarōntou de tou numfiou nustazala pantais kai katheudale.When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6mesau de nuktau kraugas genatē; Idou tos ⸀numfios, exerchovōr eis apantēsian ⸀autou.At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7tote egerila pantais tais parthenais ekeinais kai kosmala tain lampadain ⸀heautaiu.Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8tais de mōrais tai fronimai legala; Dōavar ni ek teu elaieu vu, hoti tais lampadais nu sbennuolō.The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9apokrinila de tais fronimais legarōntais; Mēpote ⸂ouk mē⸃ arkateia ni kai vi; ⸀poreuovōr mallon pros toin pōlarōntoin kai agorazavar heautai.‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ 10aperchorōntaiu de autaiu agorazara erchata tos numfios, kai tais hetoimais eiserchala meta autou eis toin gamoin, kai kleiita tas thuras.But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. 11husterem de ercholō kai tais loipais parthenais legarōntais; Kurior kurior, anoigasar ni;Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’ 12tos de apokrinirantos legata; Amēn legamō vi, ouk oidamē vin.But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’ 13grēgoravōr oun, hoti ouk oidavē tan hēmeran oude tan ⸀hōran.Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
14Hōsper gar anthrōpos apodēmarōntos kalata toin idioin douloin kai paradōata autoi teim huparcharōnteim autou,For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions. 15kai ho men dōata pente talanteim ho de duo ho de henem, hekasto kata tan idian dunamian, kai apodēmata. eutheōsTo one he gave five talents, to another two talents, and to another one talent — each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey. 16⸀poreuirantos tos teim pente talanteim labarantos ergazeta en autei kai ⸀kerdainata alloseim ⸀pente;The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to work and gained five more. 17⸀hōsautōs tos teim duo ⸀kerdainata alloseim duo;Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more. 18tos de tem henem labarantos apercharantos orussata ⸀gēan kai ⸀kruptata tem arguriem tou kuriou autou.But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money. 19meta de ⸂pollon chronon⸃ erchotō tos kurios toiu douloiu ekeinoiu kai sunairatō ⸂logon meta autoiu⸃After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20kai prosercharantos tos teim pente talanteim labarantos prosferata alloseim pente talanteim legarōntos; Kurior, pente talanteim mi paradōasa; ide alloseim pente talanteim ⸀kerdainama.The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ 21⸀fēate auto tos kurios autou; Euōs, doulor agathor kai pistor, epi oligeim ase pistos, epi polleiu sin katastēami; eiserchasar eis tan charan tou kuriou su.His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’ 22prosercharantos ⸀de kai tos teim duo ⸀talanteim legata; Kurior, duo talanteim mi paradōasa; ide alloseim duo talanteim ⸀kerdainama.The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’ 23fēate auto tos kurios autou; Euōs, doulor agathor kai pistor, epi oligeim ase pistos, epi polleiu sin katastēami; eiserchasar eis tan charan tou kuriou su.His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’ 24prosercharantos de kai tos tem henem talantem labarēntos legata; Kurior, gnōskama sin hoti sklēros asō anthrōpos, therizarōntos hopou ouk sperasa kai sunagarōntos hothen ouk diaskorpizasa;Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25kai fobirantos apercharantos kruptama tem talantem su en ta gēa; ide echasō tem sem.So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’ 26apokrinirantos de tos kurios autou legata auto; Ponēror doulor kai oknēror, oidaselē hoti therizamō hopou ouk sperama kai sunagamō hothen ouk diaskorpizama?‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27date ⸂sin oun⸃ balara ⸂teim argurieim⸃ mu toi trapezitoi, kai ercharantos mis komizema an tem ēmem sun toko.Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest. 28airavar oun apo autou tem talantem kai dōavar to echarōnto teim deka talanteim;Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29to gar echarōnto panto dōiti kai perisseuiti; ⸂tou de⸃ mē echarōntou kai hem echatō airiti apo autou.For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 30kai ton achreion doulon ekbalavar eis tem skotem tem exōterem; ekei eti tos klauthmos kai tos brugmos toiu odontoiu.And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31Hotan de erchateia tos huios tou anthrōpou en ta doxa autou kai pantois ⸀tois angelois meta autou, tote kathizati epi thronou doxau autou;When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32kai ⸀sunagili emprosthen autou panteim teim ethneim, kai aforizati autoin apo allēloiu, hōsper tos poimenos aforizatō teim probateim apo toiu erifoiu,All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33kai stēati teim men probateim ek dexeiu autou teim de erifieim ek euōnumeiu.He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. 34tote legati tos basilevos toi ek dexeiu autou; Deute, tois eulogorēntoir tou patrou mu, klēronomavar tan hetoimazorēntan vi basileian apo katabolau kosmou.Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35peinama gar kai dōava mi esthiara, dipsama kai potizava min, xenos ome kai sunagava min,For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36gumnos kai peribalava min, asthenama kai episkepteva min, en fulaka ome kai erchava pros min.I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’ 37tote apokrinili auto tois dikaiois legarōntois; Kurior, pote sin horana peinarōnton kai trefana, ē dipsarōnton kai potizana?Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38pote de sin horana xenon kai sunagana, ē gumnon kai peribalana?When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39pote de sin horana ⸀asthenarōnton ē en fulaka kai erchana pros sin?When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’ 40kai apokrinirantos tos basilevos legati autoi; Amēn legamō vi, epi hosem poiava heno houtoiu toiu adelfoiu mu toiu elachistoiu, mi poiava.And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ 41tote legati kai toi ek euōnumeiu; Poreuovōr apo mu ⸀tois katarorēntoir eis tem purem tem aiōniem tem hetoimazorēntem to diabolo kai toi angeloi autou.Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42peinama gar kai ouk dōava mi esthiara, ⸀dipsama kai ouk potizava min,For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, 43xenos ome kai ouk sunagava min, gumnos kai ouk peribalava min, asthenos kai en fulaka kai ouk episkepteva min.I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’ 44tote apokrinili kai autois legarōntois; Kurior, pote sin horana peinarōnton ē dipsarōnton ē xenon ē gumnon ē asthenon ē en fulaka kai ouk diakonana si?And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45tote apokriniti autoi legarōntos; Amēn legamō vi, epi hosem ouk poiava heno houtoiu toiu elachistoiu, oude mi poiava.Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’ 46kai apercheli houtois eis kolasian aiōnian, tois de dikaiois eis zōan aiōnian.And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
