Mattityahu 25
25
1Then the Malchut HaShomayim will be compared to ten alamot (young unmarried virgins), who, having taken their menorahs, went out to meet the Choson (Bridegroom).
2Now five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3When the foolish took their menorahs, they neglected to take shemen (oil).
4But the wise took shemen in containers with their menorahs.
5Now the Choson, being delayed, here is what happened: all the alamot became drowsy and were sleeping.
6And at chatsot halailah (midnight) there was a shout, Hinei! The Choson (Bridegroom)! Go out to meet him!
7Then all the ten alamot awakened and they trimmed their menorahs.
8But the foolish said to the wise, Give us from your shemen (oil), for our menorahs are going out.
9But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there might not be enough for us and for you. Instead, you go to the ones selling and buy for yourselves.
10And as they were going away to buy, the Bias of the Choson (Bridegroom) occurred! The ones prepared entered with him into the Chasunoh (Wedding) feast and the door was shut.
11And later, here comes also the other alamot, saying, Adoneinu, Adoneinu, open the door for us.
12But he, in reply, said, Omein, I say to you, I do not know you.
13Be shomer, be on the alert, therefore, for you do not have daas of the Yom or the Shaah (hour, time).
14For it is as a man going on a journey, who called to his own avadim (slaves) and handed over to them his possessions.
15And to this one, he gave five talents, and to this one, two, and to this one, one, each according to his own ability. Then the man went on his journey. Immediately
16after the man had gone, the one having received the five talents, went to work with them, and gained five others.
17Likewise, the one having received the two talents, this one gained two others.
18But the one, having received one, went out and dug a hole in the ground and buried the gelt (money) of his Adon in a hiding place.
19And after much time, here comes the Adon of those servants. And he conducts a settling of accounts with them.
20Then the one who had received five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, Adoni, five talents you gave me. Hinei! Five more talents I gained.
21And his Adon said to him, Shkoyach (well done), eved tov vneeman (good and faithful servant)! A few things you were faithful over, over many things I will ordain you. Enter into the simchah of your Adon.
22And having come forward, the one having received two talents, said, You bestowed upon me two talents. Hinei! Two more talents I gained.
23His Adon said to him, Shkoyach (well done), eved tov vneeman! A few things you were faithful over, over many things I will ordain you. Enter into the simcha of your Adon.
24And also the one who had received one talent stepped forward. He said, Adoni, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from that which you did not scatter seed.
25And having been afraid and having gone away, I hid your talent by burying it in the ground. Here, see, you have that which belongs to you.
26And, in reply, his Adon said to him, You farbissener (mean) eved rah vatzel (wicked and lazy slave), so you had daas that I reap where I did not sow and I gather from which I did not scatter seed?
27Then why was it not necessary for you to deposit my gelt with the bankers, and having returned, I would have received back that which was mine with interest?
28Take, therefore, from him the talent and give it to the one having the ten talents.
29For to every one having, it will be given and he will have abundance; but from the one not having, even what he has will be taken from him.
30And as for the useless slave, throw him into the outer choshech, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
31And when the Bar Enosh#25:31 Dan 7:13 comes, in his kavod and all his malachim with him, then he will sit upon his Kissei Kavod (Glorious Throne).
32And there will be assembled all the Goyim, and he will separate them from each other as the Roeh (the Shepherd) separates the Kevasim (Sheep) from the Izzim (Goats).
33And he will put the Kevasim on the right of him, but the Izzim on his left.
34Then he will say to the ones on his right, Come! Baruchei Avi (Blessed of my Father), receive the bechorah (inheritance), the Malchut prepared for you from before Hivvased HaOlam (the establishing of the world).
35For I hungered and you gave me something to eat. I thirsted and you gave drink to me. I was a sojourner, and you extended hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to me.
36I was naked and you gave me malbish arumim (clothing the naked). I was ill; with bikkur cholim (visiting the sick) you ministered to me. I was in the beit hasohar (prison); you came to me.
37Then the tzaddikim will answer him,#25:37 Moshiach Adoneinu, when did we see you hungering and we fed you, or thirsting and we gave you drink?
38And when did we see you a sojourner and we extended hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to you, or naked and we clothed you?
39And when did we see you ill or in the beit hasohar and we came to you?
40And in reply, HaMelech#25:40 HaMoshiach will say to them, Omein, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these achim of mine, you did it to me.
41Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will say also to the ones on his left, Depart from me, the ones having been cursed, into the Eish Olam having been prepared for HaSatan and his malachim.
42For I hungered and you did not give me something to eat; I thirsted and you did not give drink to me.
43I was a sojourner and you did not extend hachnosas orchim to me; I was naked and you did not clothe me; ill and in the beit hasohar and you did not visit me.
44Then, also they will answer, saying,#25:44 Moshiach Adoneinu, when did we see you hungering or thirsting or a sojourner or naked or sick or in the beit hasohar and we did not minister to you?
45Then he will answer them, saying, Omein, I say to you, in as much as you did not do it for one of these least ones, neither did you do it for me.
46And these will go away into Onesh Olam (Eternal Punishment), but the tzaddikim into Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life).#25:46 Isa 66:24; Dan 12:2

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 25
25
1“Then the reign of the heavens shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2“And five of them were wise, and five foolish.
3Those who were foolish, having taken their lamps, took no oil with them,”
4but the wise took oil in their containers with their lamps.
5“Now while the bridegroom took time, they all slumbered and slept.
6And at midnight a cry was heard, ‘See, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him!’ ”
7“Then all those maidens rose up and trimmed their lamps.
8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ ”
9“But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, indeed, there would not be enough for us and you. Instead, go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
10“And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
11“And later the other maidens also came, saying, ‘Master, Master, open up for us!’
12But he answering, said, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ ”
13“Watch therefore, because you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Aḏam is coming,
14for it is like a man going from home, who called his own servants and delivered his possessions to them.
15“And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability, and went from home.
16“And he who had received the five talents went and worked with them, and made another five talents.
17“In the same way, he with the two also, he gained two more.
18“But he who had received the one went away and dug in the ground, and hid the silver of his master.
19“And after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20“And he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents besides them.’
21And his master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant. You were trustworthy over a little, I shall set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ ”
22“Then he who had received two talents came and said, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained two more talents besides them.’
23His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant. You were trustworthy over a little, I shall set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ ”
24“And the one who had received the one talent also came and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed,
25and being afraid, I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
26“And his master answering, said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27Then you should have put my silver with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
28Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to him who possesses ten talents.
29‘For to everyone who possesses, more shall be given, and he shall have overflowingly; but from him who does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away.#See Luke 8:18
30And throw the worthless servant out into the outer darkness – there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31“And when the Son of Aḏam comes in His esteem, and all the set-apart messengers with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His esteem.
32“And all the nations shall be gathered before Him, and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats.
33“And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then the Sovereign shall say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the reign prepared for you from the foundation of the world - ”
35for 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,
36was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry and we fed You, or thirsty and gave You to drink?
38And when did we see You a stranger and took You in, or naked and clothed You?
39And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came to You?’
40“And the Sovereign shall answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.’
41He shall then also say to those on the left hand, ‘Go away from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers - ”
42for I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink,
43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, was naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44“Then they also shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not serve You?’
45Then He shall answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ ”
46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.
