25 “Then the Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps+ and went out to meet the bridegroom.+2 Five of them were foolish, and five were discreet.*+3 For the foolish took their lamps but took no oil with them,4 whereas the discreet took oil in their flasks along with their lamps.5 While the bridegroom was delaying, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.6 Right in the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Go out to meet him.’7 Then all those virgins got up and put their lamps in order.+8 The foolish said to the discreet, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are about to go out.’9 The discreet answered, saying: ‘Perhaps there may not be enough for both us and you. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.’10 While they were going off to buy it, the bridegroom came. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast,+ and the door was shut.11 Afterward, the rest of the virgins also came, saying, ‘Sir, Sir, open to us!’+12 In answer he said, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you.’13 “Keep on the watch,+ therefore, because you know neither the day nor the hour.+14 “For it is just like a man about to travel abroad who summoned his slaves and entrusted his belongings to them.+15 He gave five talents* to one, two to another, and one to still another, to each according to his own ability, and he went abroad.16 Immediately the one who received the five talents went and did business with them and gained five more.17 Likewise, the one who received the two gained two more.18 But the slave who received just one went off and dug 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.+20 So the one who had received the five talents came forward and brought five additional talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me; see, I gained five talents more.’+21 His master said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things. I will appoint you over many things.+ Enter into the joy of your master.’+22 Next the one who had received the two talents came forward and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me; see, I gained two talents more.’+23 His master said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things. I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’24 “Finally the slave who had received the one talent came forward and said: ‘Master, I knew you to be a demanding man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not winnow.+25 So I grew afraid and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26 In reply his master said to him: ‘Wicked and sluggish slave, you knew, did you, that I reaped where I did not sow and gathered where I did not winnow?27 Well, then, you should have deposited my money* with the bankers, and on my coming I would have received it back with interest.28 “‘Therefore, take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.+29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.+30 And throw the good-for-nothing slave out into the darkness outside. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.’31 “When the Son of man+ comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,+ then he will sit down on his glorious throne.32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.33 And he will put the sheep+ on his right hand, but the goats on his left.+34 “Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.35 For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably;+36 naked* and you clothed me.+ I fell sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’+37 Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?+38 When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked and clothe you?39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40 In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’+41 “Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me,+ you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire+ prepared for the Devil and his angels.+42 For I became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat; and I was thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink.43 I was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’44 Then they too will answer with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’45 Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’+46 These will depart into everlasting cutting-off,*+ but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”+

Tada će kraljevstvo nebesko biti kao deset djevica koje su uzele svjetiljke svoje+ i izašle u susret mladoženji.+2 Pet ih je bilo ludih,+ a pet razboritih.+3 Lude su uzele svjetiljke, ali nisu sa sobom uzele ulja,4 a razborite su uzele ulja u posudama zajedno sa svjetiljkama.5 Kako je mladoženja kasnio, sve su zadrijemale i zaspale.+6 Točno u ponoć čuo se povik:+ ‘Evo mladoženje! Izađite mu u susret!’7 Tada su sve one djevice ustale i pripremile svjetiljke svoje.+8 A lude su rekle razboritima: ‘Dajte nam svojega ulja,+ jer naše svjetiljke samo što se nisu ugasile!’9 Razborite+ su odgovorile: ‘Možda neće biti dovoljno za nas i za vas. Pođite radije k prodavačima i kupite ga sebi!’10 Dok su one išle kupiti, stigao je mladoženja. Djevice koje su bile spremne ušle su s njim na svadbu+ i vrata su se zatvorila.11 Poslije su došle i ostale djevice i rekle: ‘Gospodine, gospodine, otvori nam!’+12 A on im je odvratio: ‘Istinu vam kažem, ne poznajem vas!’+13 Bdijte,+ dakle, jer ne znate ni dan ni čas!+14 To je kao kad je čovjek,+ koji je namjeravao otputovati u tuđinu,+ dozvao robove svoje i povjerio im imovinu svoju.+15 Jednome je dao pet talenata,* drugome dva, trećemu pak jedan, svakome prema njegovoj sposobnosti,+ i otišao je u tuđinu.16 A onaj koji je primio pet talenata odmah je otišao i trgovao s njima i zaradio još pet.+17 Isto tako, onaj koji je primio dva zaradio je još dva.18 Ali onaj koji je primio samo jedan otišao je te iskopao rupu u zemlji i sakrio srebrni novac gospodara svojega.19 Nakon dugo vremena+ došao je gospodar tih robova i počeo sređivati račune s njima.+20 Tako je onaj koji je primio pet talenata pristupio i donio još pet talenata te rekao: ‘Gospodaru, povjerio si mi pet talenata. Evo, zaradio sam još pet talenata.’+21 A gospodar mu je rekao: ‘Odlično, dobri i vjerni robe!+ Bio si vjeran+ nad malim i zato ću te postaviti nad mnogim.+ Raduj se+ s gospodarom svojim!’22 Zatim je pristupio onaj koji je primio dva talenta i rekao: ‘Gospodaru, povjerio si mi dva talenta. Evo, zaradio sam još dva talenta.’+23 A gospodar mu je rekao: ‘Odlično, dobri i vjerni robe! Bio si vjeran nad malim i zato ću te postaviti nad mnogim.+ Raduj se+ s gospodarom svojim!’24 Na kraju je pristupio onaj koji je primio jedan talenat+ i rekao: ‘Gospodaru, znao sam da si zahtjevan čovjek, žanješ gdje nisi sijao i skupljaš gdje nisi vijao.25 Zato sam se pobojao+ i otišao te sakrio tvoj talenat u zemlju. Evo ti što je tvoje!’26 Nato mu je gospodar rekao: ‘Zli i lijeni robe, znao si da žanjem gdje nisam sijao i skupljam gdje nisam vijao!27 Trebao si, dakle, uložiti moj srebrni novac kod bankara i ja bih po povratku dobio svoje uz kamate.+28 Zato mu oduzmite talenat i dajte ga onome koji ima deset talenata!+29 Jer svakome tko ima, još će se dati i imat će obilje, a onome tko nema, oduzet će se i ono što ima.+30 A beskorisnog roba izbacite van u tamu! Ondje će plakati i škrgutati zubima.’+31 Kad Sin čovječji+ stigne u slavi svojoj i svi anđeli s njim,+ tada će sjesti na slavno prijestolje svoje.+32 I svi će se narodi skupiti pred njim+ i on će odvojiti+ ljude jedne od drugih,+ kao što pastir odvaja ovce od jaraca.33 Postavit će ovce sebi zdesna,+ a jarce slijeva.+34 Tada će kralj reći onima koji mu budu zdesna: ‘Dođite, vi koje je Otac moj blagoslovio,+ naslijedite+ kraljevstvo+ koje je pripremljeno za vas od postanka svijeta!+35 Jer ogladnio sam i dali ste mi jesti,+ ožednio sam i dali ste mi piti, bio sam stranac i ugostili ste me,+36 gol+ i obukli ste me, razbolio sam se i brinuli ste se za mene, bio sam u zatvoru+ i došli ste k meni.’37 Tada će mu pravednici odgovoriti: ‘Gospodine, kad smo te vidjeli gladnog i nahranili te ili žednog+ i dali ti piti?+38 Kad smo te vidjeli kao stranca i ugostili te ili golog i obukli te?39 Kad smo te vidjeli bolesnog ili u zatvoru i došli k tebi?’40 A kralj+ će im odgovoriti: ‘Zaista, kažem vam, što god ste učinili jednom od ove moje najmanje+ braće,+ meni ste učinili.’+41 Zatim će reći i onima koji mu budu slijeva: ‘Idite od mene,+ prokleti, u vječnu vatru+ pripremljenu Đavlu i anđelima njegovim!+42 Jer ogladnio sam, ali niste mi dali jesti,+ ožednio sam,+ ali niste mi dali piti,43 bio sam stranac, ali niste me ugostili, gol, ali niste me obukli,+ bolestan i u zatvoru,+ ali niste se brinuli za mene.’44 Tada će mu i oni odgovoriti: ‘Gospodine, kad smo te vidjeli gladnog ili žednog ili kao stranca ili golog ili bolesnog ili u zatvoru i nismo te poslužili?’45 Tada će im on odgovoriti: ‘Zaista, kažem vam, što god niste učinili jednom od ovih najmanjih,+ ni meni niste učinili.’+46 I ovi će otići u vječnu smrt,+ a pravednici u vječni život.”+
