STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 אָז תִּדְמֶה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְעֶשֶׂר עֲלָמוֹת אֲשֶׁר לָקְחוּ אֶת־נֵרוֹתֵיהֶן וַתֵּצֶאנָה לִקְרַאת הֶחָתָן	1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 חָמֵשׁ מֵהֶן הָיוּ חֲכָמוֹת וְחָמֵשׁ כְּסִילוֹת	2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 הַכְּסִילוֹת לָקְחוּ אֶת־הַנֵּרוֹת וְלֹא־לָקְחוּ עִמָּהֶן שָׁמֶן	3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4 וְהַחֲכָמוֹת לָקְחוּ שֶׁמֶן בִּכְלֵיהֶן וְאֵת נֵרוֹתֵיהֶן	4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5 וְכַאֲשֶׁר בּשֵׁשׁ הֶחָתָן לָבוֹא וַתָּנֹמְנָה כֻלָּן וַתֵּרָדַמְנָה	5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6 וַיְהִי בַּחֲצוֹת הַלַּיְלָה וַיִּשָּׁמַע קוֹל צְעָקָה הִנֵּה הֶחָתָן צְאֶינָה לִקְרָאתוֹ	6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7 אָז הִתְעוֹרְרוּ כָּל־הָעֲלָמוֹת הָהֵן וַתֵּיטַבְנָה אֶת־נֵרוֹתֵיהֶן	7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הַכְּסִילוֹת אֶל־הַחֲכָמוֹת תֵּנָּה לָּנוּ מִשַּׁמְנְכֶן כִּי יִכְבּוּ נֵרוֹתֵינוּ	8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9 וַתַּעֲנֶינָה הַחֲכָמוֹת לֵאמֹר לֹא כֵן פֶּן־יֶחְסַר לָנוּ וְלָכֶן כִּי אִם־לֵכְנָה אֶל־הַמּוֹכְרִים וּקְנֶינָה לָכֶן	9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 וַיְהִי בְּעֵת לֶכְתָּן לִקְנוֹת וַיָּבוֹא הֶחָתָן וְהַנְּכֹנוֹת לָלֶכֶת בָּאוּ אִתּוֹ אֶל־הַחֲתֻנָּה וַתִּסָּגֵר הַדָּלֶת	10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
11 וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן בָּאוּ גַּם־שְׁאָר הָעֲלָמוֹת וַתֹּאמַרְנָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ פְּתַח־לָנוּ	11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶן לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶתְכֶן	12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13 לָכֵן שְׁקֹדוּ כִּי אֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים אֶת־הַיּוֹם וְאֶת־הַשָּׁעָה אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא בָהּ בֶּן־הָאָדָם	13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14 כִּי כְּמוֹ אִישׁ נֹסֵעַ לְמֵרָחוֹק אֲשֶׁר קָרָא אֶל־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּמְסֹר לָהֶם אֶת־רְכוּשׁוֹ	14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 וַיִּתֵּן לָזֶה חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים וְלָזֶה שְׁתַּיִם וְלָזֶה אֶחָת לְכָל־אִישׁ וְאִישׁ כְּפִי עֶרְכּוֹ וַיְמַהֵר וַיִּסַּע מִשָּׁם	15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16 וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ הַלֹּקֵחַ חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים וַיִּסְחַר בָּהֶן וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים אֲחֵרוֹת	16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17 וְכֵן הַלֹּקֵחַ שְׁתַּיִם גַּם־הוּא הִרְוִיחַ שְׁתַּיִם אֲחֵרוֹת	17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18 אַךְ לֹקֵחַ הָאַחַת הָלַךְ וַיַּחְפֹּר בָּאֲדָמָה וַיִּטְמֹן אֶת־כֶּסֶף אֲדֹנָיו	18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 וְאַחֲרֵי יָמִים רַבִּים בָּא אֲדֹנֵי הָעֲבָדִים הָהֵם וַיַּעַשׂ חֶשְׁבּוֹן עִמָּהֶם	19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 וַיִּגַּשׁ הַלֹּקֵחַ חֲמֵשׁ הַכִּכָּרִים וַיָּבֵא חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים אֲחֵרוֹת לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים מָסַרְתָּ לִּי הִנֵּה חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים אֲחֵרוֹת הִרְוַחְתִּי בָהֵן	20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנָיו כֵּן הָעֶבֶד הַטּוֹב וְהַנֶּאֱמָן כִּי בִמְעַט נֶאֱמָן הָיִיתָ וְעַל־הַרְבֵּה אַפְקִידֶךָ בּוֹא אֶל־שִׂמְחַת אֲדֹנֶיךָ	21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 וַיִּגַּשׁ גַּם־לֹקֵחַ הַכִּכָּרַיִם וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי כִּכָּרַיִם מָסַרְתָּ לִי הִנֵּה כִּכָּרַיִם הִרְוַחְתִּי בָהֵן	22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנָיו הֵיטַבְתָּ הָעֶבֶד הַטּוֹב וְהַנֶּאֱמָן בַּמִּזְעָר נֶאֱמָן הָיִיתָ וְעַל־הַרְבֵּה אַפְקִידֶךָ בּוֹא אֶל־שִׂמְחַת אֲדֹנֶיךָ	23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 וַיִּגַּשׁ גַּם־הַלֹּקֵחַ אֶת־הַכִּכָּר הָאַחַת וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי יְדַעְתִּיךָ כִּי־אִישׁ קָשֶׁה אַתָּה קֹצֵר בַּאֲשֶׁר לֹא זָרַעְתָּ וְכֹנֵס מֵאֲשֶׁר לֹא פִזָּרְתָּ	24 But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25 וָאִירָא וָאֵלֵךְ וָאֶטְמֹן אֶת־כִּכָּרְךָ בָּאֲדָמָה וְעַתָּה הֵא־לְךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לָךְ	25 And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26 וַיַּעַן אֲדֹנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָעֶבֶד הָרַע וְהֶעָצֵל אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־קֹצֵר אָנֹכִי בַּאֲשֶׁר לֹא זָרַעְתִּי וְכֹנֵס מֵאֲשֶׁר לֹא פִזָּרְתִּי	26 And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 לָכֵן הָיָה עָלֶיךָ לָתֵת אֶת־כַּסְפִּי לַשֻּׁלְחָנִים וַאֲנִי בְּבוֹאִי הָיִיתִי לֹקֵחַ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לִי בְּרִבִּית	27 Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 עַל־כֵּן שְׂאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ אֵת הַכִּכָּר וּתְנוּ אֶל־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ עֶשֶׂר הַכִּכָּרִים	28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 כִּי כָל־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לוֹ יִנָּתֶן לוֹ וְנוֹסָף לוֹ עוֹד וְהָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לוֹ גַּם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ יֻקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ	29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30 וְאֶת־עֶבֶד הַבְּלִיַּעַל הַשְׁלִיכוּ אֶל־הַחשֶׁךְ הַחִיצוֹן שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	30 And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 וְהָיָה כִּי יָבוֹא בֶּן־הָאָדָם בִּכְבוֹדוֹ וְכָל־הַמַּלְאָכִים הַקְּדוֹשִׁים עִמּוֹ וְיָשַׁב עַל־כִּסֵּא כְבוֹדוֹ	31 And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32 וְנֶאֶסְפוּ לְפָנָיו כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם וְהִפְרִיד בֵּינוֹתָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יַפְרִיד הָרֹעֶה אֵת הַכְּבָשִׂים מִן־הָעַתּוּדִים	32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33 וְהִצִּיב אֶת־הַכְּבָשִׂים לִימִינוֹ וְאֵת הָעַתּוּדִים לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ	33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 אָז יֹאמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־הַנִּצָּבִים לִימִינוֹ בֹּאוּ בְּרוּכֵי אָבִי וּרְשׁוּ אֶת־הַמַּלְכוּת הַמּוּכָנָה לָכֶם לְמִן־הִוָּסֵד הָעוֹלָם	34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 כִּי רָעֵב הָיִיתִי וַתַּאֲכִילֻנִי צָמֵא הָיִיתִי וַתַּשְׁקוּנִי גֵּר הָיִיתִי וַתַּאַסְפוּנִי	35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 עָרוֹם וַתְּכַסּוּנִי חוֹלֶה וַתְּבַקְּרוּנִי בְּמִשְׁמָר הָיִיתִי וַתָּבֹאוּ אֵלָי	36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 וְעָנוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים וְאָמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָתַי רְאִינוּךָ רָעֵב וַנְּכַלְכְּלֶךָ אוֹ צָמֵא וַנַּשְׁקֶה אוֹתָךְ	37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 וּמָתַי רְאִינוּךָ גֵר וַנְּאַסְּפֶךָּ אוֹ עָרֹם וַנְּכַסֶּךָּ	38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 וּמָתַי רְאִינוּךָ חוֹלֶה אוֹ בְּמִשְׁמָר וַנָּבֹא אֵלֶיךָ	39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֶה וְיֹאמַר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם מַה־שֶּׁעֲשִׂיתֶם לְאֶחָד מֵאַחַי הַצְּעִירִים הָאֵלֶּה לִי עֲשִׂיתֶם	40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41 וְאָז יֹאמַר גַּם אֶל־הַנִּצָּבִים לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ לְכוּ מֵעָלַי אַתֶּם הָאֲרוּרִים אֶל־אֵשׁ עוֹלָם הַמּוּכָנָה לַשָּׂטָן וּלְמַלְאָכָיו	41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 כִּי רָעֵב הָיִיתִי וְלֹא הַאֲכַלְתֶּם אוֹתִי צָמֵא הָיִיתִי וְלֹא הִשְׁקִיתֶם אוֹתִי	42 For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 גֵּר הָיִיתִי וְלֹא אֲסַפְתֶּם אוֹתִי עָרוֹם וְלֹא כִסִּיתֶם אוֹתִי חוֹלֶה וּבְמִשְׁמָר וְלֹא בִקַּרְתֶּם אוֹתִי	43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 וְעָנוּ גַם־הֵם וְאָמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָתַי רְאִינוּךָ רָעֵב אוֹ צָמֵא אוֹ גֵר אוֹ עָרוֹם אוֹ חוֹלֶה אוֹ בְּמִשְׁמָר וְלֹא שֵׁרַתְנוּךָ	44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 אָז יַעֲנֶה אֹתָם לֵאמֹר אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם מַה־שֶּׁלֹּא עֲשִׂיתֶם לְאֶחָד מִן הַצְּעִירִים הָאֵלֶּה גַּם־לִי לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם	45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
46 וְיֵלְכוּ אֵלֶּה לְמַעֲצֵבַת עוֹלָם וְהַצַּדִּיקִים לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם	46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
