The Latin Vulgate VUL
American Standard Version ASV
1 tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus quae accipientes lampadas suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae
1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae et quinque prudentes
2
And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 sed quinque fatuae acceptis lampadibus non sumpserunt oleum secum
3
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus
4
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 moram autem faciente sponso dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt
5
Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 media autem nocte clamor factus est ecce sponsus venit exite obviam ei
6
But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
7 tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae et ornaverunt lampades suas
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt date nobis de oleo vestro quia lampades nostrae extinguntur
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us 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
9
But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 dum autem irent emere venit sponsus et quae paratae erant intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias et clausa est ianua
10
And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
11 novissime veniunt et reliquae virgines dicentes domine domine aperi nobis
11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 at ille respondens ait amen dico vobis nescio vos
12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 vigilate itaque quia nescitis diem neque horam
13
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 sicut enim homo proficiscens vocavit servos suos et tradidit illis bona sua
14
For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 et uni dedit quinque talenta alii autem duo alii vero unum unicuique secundum propriam virtutem et profectus est statim
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.
16 abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat et operatus est in eis et lucratus est alia quinque
16
Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
17 similiter qui duo acceperat lucratus est alia duo
17
In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
18 qui autem unum acceperat abiens fodit in terra et abscondit pecuniam domini sui
18
But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum et posuit rationem cum eis
19
Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
20 et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat obtulit alia quinque talenta dicens domine quinque talenta mihi tradidisti ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum
20
And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
21 ait illi dominus eius euge bone serve et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti fidelis super multa te constituam intra in gaudium domini tui
21
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat et ait domine duo talenta tradidisti mihi ecce alia duo lucratus sum
22
And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
23 ait illi dominus eius euge serve bone et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti fidelis supra multa te constituam intra in gaudium domini tui
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy 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
24
And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
25 et timens abii et abscondi talentum tuum in terra ecce habes quod tuum est
25
and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26 respondens autem dominus eius dixit ei serve male et piger sciebas quia meto ubi non semino et congrego ubi non sparsi
26
But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;
27 oportuit ergo te mittere pecuniam meam nummulariis et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura
27
thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
28 tollite itaque ab eo talentum et date ei qui habet decem talenta
28
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
29 omni enim habenti dabitur et abundabit ei autem qui non habet et quod videtur habere auferetur ab eo
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
30 et inutilem servum eicite in tenebras exteriores illic erit fletus et stridor dentium
30
And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
31 cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua et omnes angeli cum eo tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae
31
But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes et separabit eos ab invicem sicut pastor segregat oves ab hedis
32
and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis hedos autem a sinistris
33
and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris eius erunt venite benedicti Patris mei possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi
34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 esurivi enim et dedistis mihi manducare sitivi et dedistis mihi bibere hospes eram et collexistis me
35
for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 nudus et operuistis me infirmus et visitastis me in carcere eram et venistis ad me
36
naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 tunc respondebunt ei iusti dicentes Domine quando te vidimus esurientem et pavimus sitientem et dedimus tibi potum
37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 quando autem te vidimus hospitem et colleximus te aut nudum et cooperuimus
38
And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum aut in carcere et venimus ad te
39
And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 et respondens rex dicet illis amen dico vobis quamdiu fecistis uni de his fratribus meis minimis mihi fecistis
40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me.
41 tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum qui paratus est diabolo et angelis eius
41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 esurivi enim et non dedistis mihi manducare sitivi et non dedistis mihi potum
42
for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 hospes eram et non collexistis me nudus et non operuistis me infirmus et in carcere et non visitastis me
43
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
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
44
Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 tunc respondebit illis dicens amen dico vobis quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his nec mihi fecistis
45
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.
46 et ibunt hii in supplicium aeternum iusti autem in vitam aeternam
46
And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
