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

Matthew 25
25
The Parable of the 10 Virgins
1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins # Or bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. # Mt 13:24; Ac 20:8; Rv 4:5; 19:7; 21:2,9 2Five of them were foolish and five were sensible. # Mt 7:24; 10:16; 24:45 3When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take olive oil with them. 4But the sensible ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps. 5Since the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6“In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7“Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8But the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9“The sensible ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell, and buy oil for yourselves.’
10“When they had gone to buy some, the groom arrived. Then those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. # Mt 22:2; Lk 13:25
11“Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, ‘Master, master, open up for us! ’
12“But he replied, ‘I assure you: I do not know you! ’
13“Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour. # Other mss add in which the Son of Man is coming.
The Parable of the Talents
14“For it is just like a man going on a journey. # Lk 19:12-27 He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them. 15To one he gave five talents; # Worth a very large sum of money; a talent = 6,000 denarii to another, two; and to another, one — to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey. # Mt 18:24; Lk 19:13; Rm 12:6; 1Co 12:11; Eph 4:7 Immediately 16the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more. 17In the same way the man with two earned two more. 18But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19“After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’
21“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy! ’ # Mt 24:45,47; Lk 12:44; 22:28; Heb 12:2
22“Then the man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’
23“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy! ’
24“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed. # 1Sm 25:3; 2Co 8:12 25So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’
26“But his master replied to him, ‘You evil, lazy slave! # Pr 20:4; Mt 18:32; Rm 12:11 If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered, 27then # Or So you knew . . . scattered? Then (as a question) you should have deposited my money with the bankers. And when I returned I would have received my money # Lit received what is mine back with interest.
28“ ‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents. 29For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. # Mt 13:12; Mk 4:25; Lk 8:18; 19:26; Jn 15:2 30And throw this good-for-nothing slave into the outer darkness. # Mt 8:12; 22:13; Lk 13:28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Sheep and the Goats
31“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels # Other mss read holy angels # Gn 16:7; Mt 5:34; 13:49; Lk 1:11; Ac 5:19; Rv 14:6 with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. # Mt 16:27; 19:28; 2Th 1:7; Jd 14; Rv 1:7 32All the nations # Or the Gentiles # Jl 3:12; Mt 24:14; 28:19; Rm 1:5; Gl 1:16 will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. # Ezk 34:17,20; Mt 13:49 33He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom # Mt 19:29; Lk 12:32; 1Co 15:50; Gl 5:21; Jms 2:5; 1Pt 3:9; Rv 21:7 prepared for you from the foundation of the world. # Mt 13:35; 20:23; 1Co 2:9; Heb 4:3; 9:26; 11:16; Rv 13:8; 17:8
35For 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;
36I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you took care of Me;
I was in prison and you visited Me.’ # Jb 31:32; Is 58:7; Ezk 18:7; 2Tm 1:16; Heb 13:2; Jms 1:27; 2:15-16
37“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or without clothes and clothe You? 39When did we see You sick, or in prison, and visit You? ’
40“And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ # Pr 19:17; Mt 10:42; 25:34; Heb 6:10 41Then He will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels! # Mt 7:23; 13:40,42; Mk 9:48; 2Pt 2:4; Jd 6-7
42For I was hungry
and you gave Me nothing to eat;
I was thirsty
and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43I was a stranger
and you didn’t take Me in;
I was naked
and you didn’t clothe Me,
sick and in prison
and you didn’t take care of Me.’
44“Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You? ’
45“Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’ # Pr 14:31; 17:5; Ac 9:5
46“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” # Dn 12:2; Jn 5:21; Ac 24:15; Rm 2:7
