Matthew 25

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 "Here is what the kingdom of heaven will be like at that time. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.

2 Five of them were foolish. Five were wise.

3 The foolish ones took their lamps but didn't take any olive oil with them.

4 The wise ones took oil in jars along with their lamps.

5 The groom did not come for a long time. So the bridesmaids all grew tired and fell asleep.

6 "At midnight someone cried out, 'Here's the groom! Come out to meet him!'

7 "Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.

8 The foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.'

9 " 'No,' they replied. 'There may not be enough for all of us. Instead, go to those who sell oil. Buy some for yourselves.'

10 "So they went to buy the oil. But while they were on their way, the groom arrived. The bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding dinner. Then the door was shut.

11 "Later, the other bridesmaids also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'

12 "But he replied, 'What I'm about to tell you is true. I don't know you.'

13 "So keep watch. You do not know the day or the hour that the groom will come.

14 "Again, here is what the kingdom of heaven will be like. A man was going on a journey. He sent for his servants and put them in charge of his property.

15 He gave $10,000 to one. He gave $4,000 to another. And he gave $2,000 to the third. The man gave each servant the amount of money he knew the servant could take care of. Then he went on his journey.

16 "The servant who had received the $10,000 went at once and put his money to work. He earned $10,000 more.

17 The one with the $4,000 earned $4,000 more.

18 But the man who had received $2,000 went and dug a hole in the ground. He hid his master's money in it.

19 "After a long time the master of those servants returned. He wanted to collect all the money they had earned.

20 The man who had received $10,000 brought the other $10,000. 'Master,' he said, 'you trusted me with $10,000. See, I have earned $10,000 more.'

21 "His master replied, 'You have done well, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

22 "The man with $4,000 also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you trusted me with $4,000. See, I have earned $4,000 more.'

23 "His master replied, 'You have done well, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

24 "Then the man who had received $2,000 came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man. You harvest where you have not planted. You gather crops where you have not scattered seed.

25 So I was afraid. I went out and hid your $2,000 in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'

26 "His master replied, 'You evil, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not planted? You knew that I gather crops where I have not scattered seed?

27 Well then, you should have put my money in the bank. When I returned, I would have received it back with interest.'

28 "Then his master commanded the other servants, 'Take the $2,000 from him. Give it to the one who has $20,000.

29 Everyone who has will be given more. He will have more than enough. And what about anyone who doesn't have? Even what he has will be taken away from him.

30 Throw that worthless servant outside. There in the darkness, people will sob and grind their teeth.'

31 "The Son of Man will come in all his glory. All the angels will come with him. Then he will sit on his throne in the glory of heaven.

32 All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will separate the people into two groups. He will be like a shepherd who separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will put the sheep to his right and the goats to his left.

34 "Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say, 'My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.

35 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 invited me in.

36 I needed clothes. And you gave them to me. I was sick. And you took care of me. I was in prison. And you came to visit me.'

37 "Then the people who have done what is right will answer him. 'Lord,' they will ask, 'when did we see you hungry and feed you? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink?

38 When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in? When did we see you needing clothes and give them to you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40 "The King will reply, 'What I'm about to tell you is true. Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'You are cursed! Go away from me into the fire that burns forever. It has been prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 I was hungry. But you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty. But you gave me nothing to drink.

43 I was a stranger. But you did not invite me in. I needed clothes. But you did not give me any. I was sick and in prison. But you did not take care of me.'

44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and not help you? When did we see you as a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and not help you?'

45 "He will reply, 'What I'm about to tell you is true. Anything you didn't do for one of the least important of these, you didn't do for me.'

46 "Then they will go away to be punished forever. But those who have done what is right will receive eternal life."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus quae accipientes lampadas suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae

2 quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae et quinque prudentes

3 sed quinque fatuae acceptis lampadibus non sumpserunt oleum secum

4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus

5 moram autem faciente sponso dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt

6 media autem nocte clamor factus est ecce sponsus venit exite obviam ei

7 tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae et ornaverunt lampades suas

8 fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt date nobis de oleo vestro quia lampades nostrae extinguntur

9 responderunt prudentes dicentes ne forte non sufficiat nobis et vobis ite potius ad vendentes et emite vobis

10 dum autem irent emere venit sponsus et quae paratae erant intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias et clausa est ianua

11 novissime veniunt et reliquae virgines dicentes domine domine aperi nobis

12 at ille respondens ait amen dico vobis nescio vos

13 vigilate itaque quia nescitis diem neque horam

14 sicut enim homo proficiscens vocavit servos suos et tradidit illis bona sua

15 et uni dedit quinque talenta alii autem duo alii vero unum unicuique secundum propriam virtutem et profectus est statim

16 abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat et operatus est in eis et lucratus est alia quinque

17 similiter qui duo acceperat lucratus est alia duo

18 qui autem unum acceperat abiens fodit in terra et abscondit pecuniam domini sui

19 post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum et posuit rationem cum eis

20 et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat obtulit alia quinque talenta dicens domine quinque talenta mihi tradidisti ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum

21 ait illi dominus eius euge bone serve et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti fidelis super multa te constituam intra in gaudium domini tui

22 accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat et ait domine duo talenta tradidisti mihi ecce alia duo lucratus sum

23 ait illi dominus eius euge serve bone et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti fidelis supra multa te constituam intra in gaudium domini tui

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

26 respondens autem dominus eius dixit ei serve male et piger sciebas quia meto ubi non semino et congrego ubi non sparsi

27 oportuit ergo te mittere pecuniam meam nummulariis et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura

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

30 et inutilem servum eicite in tenebras exteriores illic erit fletus et stridor dentium

31 cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua et omnes angeli cum eo tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae

32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes et separabit eos ab invicem sicut pastor segregat oves ab hedis

33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis hedos autem a sinistris

34 tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris eius 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 collexistis me

36 nudus et operuistis me infirmus et visitastis me in carcere eram et venistis ad me

37 tunc respondebunt ei iusti dicentes Domine quando te vidimus esurientem et pavimus sitientem et dedimus tibi potum

38 quando autem te vidimus hospitem et colleximus te aut nudum et cooperuimus

39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum aut in carcere et venimus ad te

40 et respondens rex dicet illis amen dico vobis quamdiu fecistis uni de his fratribus meis minimis mihi fecistis

41 tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum qui paratus est diabolo et angelis eius

42 esurivi enim et non dedistis mihi manducare sitivi et non dedistis mihi potum

43 hospes eram et non collexistis me nudus et non operuistis me infirmus et in carcere et non visitastis me

44 tunc respondebunt et ipsi dicentes Domine quando te vidimus esurientem aut sitientem aut hospitem aut nudum aut infirmum vel in carcere et non ministravimus tibi

45 tunc respondebit illis dicens amen dico vobis quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his nec mihi fecistis

46 et ibunt hii in supplicium aeternum iusti autem in vitam aeternam
