Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 25

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Τοτε θελει ομοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων με δεκα παρθενους, αιτινες λαβουσαι τας λαμπαδας αυτων εξηλθον εις απαντησιν του νυμφιου.	1 'Then the kingdom of Heaven wil be like this: Ten wedding attendants took their lamps and went tomeet the bridegroom.
2 Πεντε δε εξ αυτων ησαν φρονιμοι και πεντε μωραι.	2 Five of them were foolish and five were sensible:
3 Αιτινες μωραι, λαβουσαι τας λαμπαδας αυτων, δεν ελαβον μεθ' εαυτων ελαιον?	3 the foolish ones, though they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 αι φρονιμοι ομως ελαβον ελαιον εν τοις αγγειοις αυτων μετα των λαμπαδων αυτων.	4 whereas the sensible ones took flasks of oil as wel as their lamps.
5 Και επειδη ο νυμφιος εβραδυνεν, ενυσταξαν πασαι και εκοιμωντο.	5 The bridegroom was late, and they al grew drowsy and fell asleep.
6 Εν τω μεσω δε της νυκτος εγεινε κραυγη? Ιδου, ο νυμφιος ερχεται, εξελθετε εις απαντησιν αυτου.	6 But at midnight there was a cry, "Look! The bridegroom! Go out and meet him."
7 Τοτε εσηκωθησαν πασαι αι παρθενοι εκειναι και ητοιμασαν τας λαμπαδας αυτων.	7 Then al those wedding attendants woke up and trimmed their lamps,
8 Και αι μωραι ειπον προς τας φρονιμους? Δοτε εις ημας εκ του ελαιου σας, διοτι αι λαμπαδες ημων σβυνονται.	8 and the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, "Give us some of your oil: our lamps are going out."
9 Απεκριθησαν δε αι φρονιμοι, λεγουσαι? Μηποτε δεν αρκεση εις ημας και εις εσας? οθεν υπαγετε καλλιον προς τους πωλουντας και αγορασατε εις εαυτας.	9 But they replied, "There may not be enough for us and for you; you had better go to those who sel itand buy some for yourselves."
10 Ενω δε απηρχοντο δια να αγορασωσιν, ηλθεν ο νυμφιος και αι ετοιμοι εισηλθον μετ' αυτου εις τους γαμους, και εκλεισθη η θυρα.	10 They had gone off to buy it when the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him tothe wedding hall and the door was closed.
11 Υστερον δε ερχονται και αι λοιπαι παρθενοι, λεγουσαι? Κυριε, Κυριε, ανοιξον εις ημας.	11 The other attendants arrived later. "Lord, Lord," they said, "open the door for us."
12 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν? Αληθως σας λεγω, δεν σας γνωριζω.	12 But he replied, "In truth I tel you, I do not know you."
13 Αγρυπνειτε λοιπον, διοτι δεν εξευρετε την ημεραν ουδε την ωραν, καθ' ην ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται.	13 So stay awake, because you do not know either the day or the hour.
14 Διοτι θελει ελθει ως ανθρωπος, οστις αποδημων εκαλεσε τους δουλους αυτου και παρεδωκεν εις αυτους τα υπαρχοντα αυτου,	14 'It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them.
15 και εις αλλον μεν εδωκε πεντε ταλαντα, εις αλλον δε δυο, εις αλλον δε εν, εις εκαστον κατα την ιδιαν αυτου ικανοτητα, και απεδημησεν ευθυς.	15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in proportion to his ability. Then heset out on his journey.
16 Υπηγε δε ο λαβων τα πεντε ταλαντα και εργαζομενος δι' αυτων εκαμεν αλλα πεντε ταλαντα.	16 The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more.
17 Ωσαυτως και ο τα δυο εκερδησε και αυτος αλλα δυο.	17 The man who had received two made two more in the same way.
18 Ο δε λαβων το εν υπηγε και εσκαψεν εις την γην και εκρυψε το αργυριον του κυριου αυτου.	18 But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master'smoney.
19 Μετα δε καιρον πολυν ερχεται ο κυριος των δουλων εκεινων και θεωρει λογαριασμον μετ' αυτων.	19 Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and went through his accountswith them.
20 Και ελθων ο λαβων τα πεντε ταλαντα, προσεφερεν αλλα πεντε ταλαντα, λεγων? Κυριε, πεντε ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκας? ιδου, αλλα πεντε ταλαντα εκερδησα επ' αυτοις.	20 The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. "Sir," he said, "youentrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made."
21 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο κυριος αυτου? Ευγε, δουλε αγαθε και πιστε? εις τα ολιγα εσταθης πιστος, επι πολλων θελω σε καταστησει? εισελθε εις την χαραν του κυριου σου.	21 His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you aretrustworthy in small things; I wil trust you with greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
22 Προσελθων δε και ο λαβων τα δυο ταλαντα ειπε? Κυριε, δυο ταλαντα μοι παρεδωκας? ιδου, αλλα δυο ταλαντα εκερδησα επ' αυτοις.	22 Next the man with the two talents came forward. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made."
23 Ειπε προς αυτον ο κυριος αυτου? Ευγε, δουλε αγαθε και πιστε? εις τα ολιγα εσταθης πιστος, επι πολλων θελω σε καταστησει? εισελθε εις την χαραν του κυριου σου.	23 His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you aretrustworthy in small things; I wil trust you with greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
24 Προσελθων δε και ο λαβων το εν ταλαντον, ειπε? Κυριε, σε εγνωρισα οτι εισαι σκληρος ανθρωπος, θεριζων οπου δεν εσπειρας και συναγων οθεν δεν διεσκορπισας?	24 Last came forward the man who had the single talent. "Sir," said he, "I had heard you were a hardman, reaping where you had not sown and gathering where you had not scattered;
25 και φοβηθεις υπηγα και εκρυψα το ταλαντον σου εν τη γη? ιδου, εχεις το σον.	25 so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here it is; it was yours, you have itback."
26 Αποκριθεις δε ο κυριος αυτου, ειπε προς αυτον? Πονηρε δουλε και οκνηρε? ηξευρες οτι θεριζω οπου δεν εσπειρα και συναγω οθεν δεν διεσκορπισα?	26 But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I havenot sown and gather where I have not scattered?
27 επρεπε λοιπον να βαλης το αργυριον μου εις τους τραπεζιτας, και ελθων εγω ηθελον λαβει το εμον μετα τοκου.	27 Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have gotmy money back with interest.
28 Λαβετε λοιπον απ' αυτου το ταλαντον, και δοτε εις τον εχοντα τα δεκα ταλαντα.	28 So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.
29 Διοτι εις παντα τον εχοντα θελει δοθη και περισσευθη, απο δε του μη εχοντος και εκεινο το οποιον εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.	29 For to everyone who has wil be given more, and he wil have more than enough; but anyone whohas not, wil be deprived even of what he has.
30 Και τον αχρειον δουλον ριψατε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.	30 As for this good-for-nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weepingand grinding of teeth."
31 Οταν δε ελθη ο ιος του ανθρωπου εν τη δοξη αυτου και παντες οι αγιοι αγγελοι μετ' αυτου, τοτε θελει καθησει επι του θρονου της δοξης αυτου,	31 'When the Son of man comes in his glory, escorted by al the angels, then he will take his seat on histhrone of glory.
32 και θελουσι συναχθη εμπροσθεν αυτου παντα τα εθνη, και θελει χωρισει αυτους απ' αλληλων, καθως ο ποιμην χωριζει τα προβατα απο των εριφιων,	32 Al nations wil be assembled before him and he wil separate people one from another as theshepherd separates sheep from goats.
33 και θελει στησει τα μεν προβατα εκ δεξιων αυτου, τα δε εριφια εξ αριστερων.	33 He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left.
34 Τοτε ο Βασιλευς θελει ειπει προς τους εκ δεξιων αυτου? Ελθετε οι ευλογημενοι του Πατρος μου, κληρονομησατε την ητοιμασμενην εις εσας βασιλειαν απο καταβολης κοσμου.	34 Then the King wil say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take asyour heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world.
35 Διοτι επεινασα, και μοι εδωκατε να φαγω, εδιψησα, και με εποτισατε, ξενος ημην, και με εφιλοξενησατε,	35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger andyou made me welcome,
36 γυμνος, και με ενεδυσατε, ησθενησα, και με επεσκεφθητε, εν φυλακη ημην, και ηλθετε προς εμε.	36 lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me."
37 Τοτε θελουσιν αποκριθη προς αυτον οι δικαιοι, λεγοντες? Κυριε, ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα και εθρεψαμεν, η διψωντα και εποτισαμεν;	37 Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirstyand give you drink?
38 ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ξενον και εφιλοξενησαμεν, η γυμνον και ενεδυσαμεν;	38 When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you?
39 ποτε δε σε ειδομεν ασθενη η εν φυλακη και ηλθομεν προς σε;	39 When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?"
40 Και αποκριθεις ο Βασιλευς θελει ειπει προς αυτους? Αληθως σας λεγω, καθ' οσον εκαμετε εις ενα τουτων των αδελφων μου των ελαχιστων, εις εμε εκαμετε.	40 And the King wil answer, "In truth I tel you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of thesebrothers of mine, you did it to me."
41 Τοτε θελει ειπει και προς τους εξ αριστερων? Υπαγετε απ' εμου οι κατηραμενοι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον, το ητοιμασμενον δια τον διαβολον και τους αγγελους αυτου.	41 Then he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to theeternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 Διοτι επεινασα, και δεν μοι εδωκατε να φαγω, εδιψησα, και δεν με εποτισατε,	42 For I was hungry and you never gave me food, I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink,
43 ξενος ημην, και δεν με εφιλοξενησατε, γυμνος, και δεν με ενεδυσατε, ασθενης και εν φυλακη, και δεν με επεσκεφθητε.	43 I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, lacking clothes and you never clothed me, sickand in prison and you never visited me."
44 Τοτε θελουσιν αποκριθη προς αυτον και αυτοι, λεγοντες? Κυριε, ποτε σε ειδομεν πεινωντα η διψωντα η ξενον η γυμνον η ασθενη η εν φυλακη, και δεν σε υπηρετησαμεν;	44 Then it wil be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or lackingclothes, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?"
45 Τοτε θελει αποκριθη προς αυτους, λεγων? Αληθως σας λεγω, καθ' οσον δεν εκαμετε εις ενα τουτων των ελαχιστων, ουδε εις εμε εκαμετε.	45 Then he will answer, "In truth I tel you, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least ofthese, you neglected to do it to me."
46 Και θελουσιν απελθει ουτοι μεν εις κολασιν αιωνιον, οι δε δικαιοι εις ζωην αιωνιον.	46 And they wil go away to eternal punishment, and the upright to eternal life.'
