| [1]`Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; |
[1]Then shall the kyngdome of heauen be lykened vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes, and went to meete the brydegrome |
| [2]and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; |
[2]But fyue of them were foolyshe, and fyue were wyse |
| [3]they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil; |
[3]They that were foolyshe, toke their lampes, but toke none oyle with them |
| [4]and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. |
[4]But the wise, toke oyle in their vessels, with their lampes also |
| [5]`And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, |
[5]Whyle the brydegrome taryed, they all slumbred and slept |
| [6]and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. |
[6]And euen at mydnyght, there was a crye made: beholde, the brydegrome commeth, go out to meete hym |
| [7]`Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, |
[7]Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lampes |
| [8]and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out; |
[8]So the foolyshe sayde vnto the wyse: geue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are gone out |
| [9]and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves. |
[9]But the wyse aunswered, saying: [not so] lest there be not inough for vs & you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues |
| [10]`And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut; |
[10]And whyle they went to bye, the brydegome came: and they that were redy, went in with hym, to ye maryage, and the gate was shut vp |
| [11]and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; |
[11]Afterwarde came also the other virgins, saying: Lorde, Lorde, open to vs |
| [12]and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you. |
[12]But he aunswered and sayde: veryly I say vnto you, I knowe you not |
| [13]`Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come. |
[13]Watch therfore, for ye knowe neither the day, nor yet the houre, wherin the sonne of man shall come |
| [14]`For -- as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance, |
[14]Lykewyse, as a [certayne] man, redy to take his iourney into a straunge countrey, called his owne seruauntes, and delyuered vnto them his goodes |
| [15]and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately. |
[15]And vnto one, he gaue fyue talentes, to another two, and to another one: to euery man after his habilitie, & strayght way departed |
| [16]`And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents; |
[16]Then he that had receaued the fyue talentes, went, and occupyed with the same, & made [them] other fyue talentes |
| [17]in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two; |
[17]And lykewyse, he [that receaued] two: he also gayned other two |
| [18]and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. |
[18]But he that receaued that one, went and digged in the earth, and hyd his Lordes money |
| [19]`And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them; |
[19]After a long season, the Lorde of those seruauntes commeth, and reckeneth with them |
| [20]and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them. |
[20]And so, he that had receaued fyue talentes, came, and brought other fyue talentes, saying: Lorde, thou delyueredst vnto me fyue talentes, beholde, I haue gayned with them fyue talentes mo |
| [21]`And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. |
[21]His Lorde saide vnto him: Well done, thou good and faythfull seruaut. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thynges, I wyll make thee ruler ouer manye thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde |
| [22]`And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them. |
[22]He also that had receaued two talentes, came, and sayde: Lorde thou delyueredst vnto me two talentes, beholde, I haue wonne two other taletes with them |
| [23]`His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. |
[23]His Lorde saide vnto him? Well done, good and faithfull seruaunt. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyl make thee ruler ouer many thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde |
| [24]`And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter; |
[24]Then he which had receaued the one talent, came, and saide: Lorde I knew thee, that thou art an harde man, reapyng where thou hast not sowen, & gatheryng where thou hast not strowed |
| [25]and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own! |
[25]And [therfore] was I afrayde, & went and hid thy talent in the earth: loe, there thou hast that thyne is |
| [26]`And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter! |
[26]His Lorde aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Thou euyll and slouthfull seruaut, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I haue not strowed |
| [27]it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase. |
[27]Thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, and then at my commyng shoulde I haue receaued myne owne with vauntage |
| [28]`Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents, |
[28]Take therfore the talent from hym, and geue it vnto hym whiche hath ten talentes |
| [29]for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him; |
[29]For vnto euery one that hath, shalbe geuen, and he shall haue aboundaunce: But he that hath not, from hym shalbe taken away, euen that which he hath |
| [30]and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. |
[30]And cast the vnprofitable seruaunt into vtter darknesse, there shalbe wepyng, and gnasshyng of teeth |
| [31]`And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory; |
[31]When the sonne of man shall come in his glorie, and all the holy Angels with hym, then shall he sitte vpon the throne of his glorie |
| [32]and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats, |
[32]And before hym shalbe gathered all nations: and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shephearde deuideth his sheepe from the goates |
| [33]and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left. |
[33]And he shall set the sheepe on his right hande, but the goates on the lefte |
| [34]`Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world; |
[34]Then shall the king say vnto them on his right hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inherite the kyngdome, prepared for you from the foundation of the worlde |
| [35]for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me; |
[35]For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me drynke: I was harbourlesse, and ye toke me in |
| [36]naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me. |
[36]Naked, and ye clothed me: Sicke, and ye visited me: I was in pryson, and ye came vnto me |
| [37]`Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink? |
[37]Then shall the ryghteous aunswere hym, saying: Lorde, when sawe we thee an hungred, & fedde thee? or thirstie and gaue thee drynke |
| [38]and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around? |
[38]When sawe we thee harbourlesse, and toke thee in? or naked, and clothed thee |
| [39]and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee? |
[39]Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee |
| [40]`And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did [it]. |
[40]And the kyng shall aunswere, and say vnto them: Ueryly I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethren, ye haue done [it] vnto me |
| [41]Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; |
[41]Then shall he saye vnto them on the left hande: Depart from me ye cursed into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuyll and his angels |
| [42]for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink; |
[42]For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me no drynke |
| [43]a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me. |
[43]I was harbourlesse, and ye toke me not in: I was naked, and ye clothed me not: I was sicke, and in prison, and ye visited me not |
| [44]`Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee? |
[44]Then shall they also aunswere hym, saying: Lorde, when sawe we thee an hungred, or a thirste, or harbourlesse, or naked, or sicke, or in pryson, and did not minister vnto thee |
| [45]`Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of these, the least, ye did [it] not to me. |
[45]Then shall he aunswere them, saying: Ueryly I say vnto you, in as much as ye dyd it not to one of the least of these, ye dyd it not to me |
| [46]And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.' |
[46]And these shall go into euerlastyng payne: the ryghteous into lyfe eternall |
