Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 25

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 אָז תִּדְמֶה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְעֶשֶׂר עֲלָמוֹת אֲשֶׁר לָקְחוּ אֶת־נֵרוֹתֵיהֶן וַתֵּצֶאנָה לִקְרַאת הֶחָתָן	1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 חָמֵשׁ מֵהֶן הָיוּ חֲכָמוֹת וְחָמֵשׁ כְּסִילוֹת	2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 הַכְּסִילוֹת לָקְחוּ אֶת־הַנֵּרוֹת וְלֹא־לָקְחוּ עִמָּהֶן שָׁמֶן	3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 וְהַחֲכָמוֹת לָקְחוּ שֶׁמֶן בִּכְלֵיהֶן וְאֵת נֵרוֹתֵיהֶן	4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 וְכַאֲשֶׁר בּשֵׁשׁ הֶחָתָן לָבוֹא וַתָּנֹמְנָה כֻלָּן וַתֵּרָדַמְנָה	5 While the bridegroom tarried, 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 out 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 unto 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 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but 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 And while 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 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶן לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֶתְכֶן	12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 לָכֵן שְׁקֹדוּ כִּי אֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים אֶת־הַיּוֹם וְאֶת־הַשָּׁעָה אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא בָהּ בֶּן־הָאָדָם	13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14 כִּי כְּמוֹ אִישׁ נֹסֵעַ לְמֵרָחוֹק אֲשֶׁר קָרָא אֶל־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּמְסֹר לָהֶם אֶת־רְכוּשׁוֹ	14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 וַיִּתֵּן לָזֶה חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים וְלָזֶה שְׁתַּיִם וְלָזֶה אֶחָת לְכָל־אִישׁ וְאִישׁ כְּפִי עֶרְכּוֹ וַיְמַהֵר וַיִּסַּע מִשָּׁם	15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ הַלֹּקֵחַ חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים וַיִּסְחַר בָּהֶן וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ חָמֵשׁ כִּכָּרִים אֲחֵרוֹת	16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 וְכֵן הַלֹּקֵחַ שְׁתַּיִם גַּם־הוּא הִרְוִיחַ שְׁתַּיִם אֲחֵרוֹת	17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 אַךְ לֹקֵחַ הָאַחַת הָלַךְ וַיַּחְפֹּר בָּאֲדָמָה וַיִּטְמֹן אֶת־כֶּסֶף אֲדֹנָיו	18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 וְאַחֲרֵי יָמִים רַבִּים בָּא אֲדֹנֵי הָעֲבָדִים הָהֵם וַיַּעַשׂ חֶשְׁבּוֹן עִמָּהֶם	19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth 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 so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנָיו כֵּן הָעֶבֶד הַטּוֹב וְהַנֶּאֱמָן כִּי בִמְעַט נֶאֱמָן הָיִיתָ וְעַל־הַרְבֵּה אַפְקִידֶךָ בּוֹא אֶל־שִׂמְחַת אֲדֹנֶיךָ	21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler 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 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנָיו הֵיטַבְתָּ הָעֶבֶד הַטּוֹב וְהַנֶּאֱמָן בַּמִּזְעָר נֶאֱמָן הָיִיתָ וְעַל־הַרְבֵּה אַפְקִידֶךָ בּוֹא אֶל־שִׂמְחַת אֲדֹנֶיךָ	23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler 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 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 וָאִירָא וָאֵלֵךְ וָאֶטְמֹן אֶת־כִּכָּרְךָ בָּאֲדָמָה וְעַתָּה הֵא־לְךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לָךְ	25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 וַיַּעַן אֲדֹנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָעֶבֶד הָרַע וְהֶעָצֵל אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־קֹצֵר אָנֹכִי בַּאֲשֶׁר לֹא זָרַעְתִּי וְכֹנֵס מֵאֲשֶׁר לֹא פִזָּרְתִּי	26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 לָכֵן הָיָה עָלֶיךָ לָתֵת אֶת־כַּסְפִּי לַשֻּׁלְחָנִים וַאֲנִי בְּבוֹאִי הָיִיתִי לֹקֵחַ אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לִי בְּרִבִּית	27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 עַל־כֵּן שְׂאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ אֵת הַכִּכָּר וּתְנוּ אֶל־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ עֶשֶׂר הַכִּכָּרִים	28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which 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 unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 וְאֶת־עֶבֶד הַבְּלִיַּעַל הַשְׁלִיכוּ אֶל־הַחשֶׁךְ הַחִיצוֹן שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer 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 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 וְנֶאֶסְפוּ לְפָנָיו כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם וְהִפְרִיד בֵּינוֹתָם כַּאֲשֶׁר יַפְרִיד הָרֹעֶה אֵת הַכְּבָשִׂים מִן־הָעַתּוּדִים	32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his 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 the 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 unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit 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 an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 עָרוֹם וַתְּכַסּוּנִי חוֹלֶה וַתְּבַקְּרוּנִי בְּמִשְׁמָר הָיִיתִי וַתָּבֹאוּ אֵלָי	36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 וְעָנוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים וְאָמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָתַי רְאִינוּךָ רָעֵב וַנְּכַלְכְּלֶךָ אוֹ צָמֵא וַנַּשְׁקֶה אוֹתָךְ	37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 וּמָתַי רְאִינוּךָ גֵר וַנְּאַסְּפֶךָּ אוֹ עָרֹם וַנְּכַסֶּךָּ	38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 וּמָתַי רְאִינוּךָ חוֹלֶה אוֹ בְּמִשְׁמָר וַנָּבֹא אֵלֶיךָ	39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֶה וְיֹאמַר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם מַה־שֶּׁעֲשִׂיתֶם לְאֶחָד מֵאַחַי הַצְּעִירִים הָאֵלֶּה לִי עֲשִׂיתֶם	40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 וְאָז יֹאמַר גַּם אֶל־הַנִּצָּבִים לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ לְכוּ מֵעָלַי אַתֶּם הָאֲרוּרִים אֶל־אֵשׁ עוֹלָם הַמּוּכָנָה לַשָּׂטָן וּלְמַלְאָכָיו	41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 כִּי רָעֵב הָיִיתִי וְלֹא הַאֲכַלְתֶּם אוֹתִי צָמֵא הָיִיתִי וְלֹא הִשְׁקִיתֶם אוֹתִי	42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 גֵּר הָיִיתִי וְלֹא אֲסַפְתֶּם אוֹתִי עָרוֹם וְלֹא כִסִּיתֶם אוֹתִי חוֹלֶה וּבְמִשְׁמָר וְלֹא בִקַּרְתֶּם אוֹתִי	43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 וְעָנוּ גַם־הֵם וְאָמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָתַי רְאִינוּךָ רָעֵב אוֹ צָמֵא אוֹ גֵר אוֹ עָרוֹם אוֹ חוֹלֶה אוֹ בְּמִשְׁמָר וְלֹא שֵׁרַתְנוּךָ	44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 אָז יַעֲנֶה אֹתָם לֵאמֹר אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם מַה־שֶּׁלֹּא עֲשִׂיתֶם לְאֶחָד מִן הַצְּעִירִים הָאֵלֶּה גַּם־לִי לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם	45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 וְיֵלְכוּ אֵלֶּה לְמַעֲצֵבַת עוֹלָם וְהַצַּדִּיקִים לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם	46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
