V 001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
V 002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
V 003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them:
V 004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
V 005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
V 006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
V 007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
V 008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our
lamps are gone out.
V 009 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.
V 010 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.
V 011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to
us.
V 012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
V 013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of man cometh.
V 014 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.
V 015 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.
V 016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with
the same, and made them other five talents.
V 017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
V 018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid
his lord's money.
V 019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth
with them.
V 020 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.
V 021 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.
V 022 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.
V 023 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.
V 024 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:
V 025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,
there thou hast that is thine.
V 026 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:
V 027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,
and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
V 028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.
V 029 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.
V 030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
V 031 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:
V 032 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:
V 033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the
left.
V 034 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:
V 035 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:
V 036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
V 037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
V 038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?
V 039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
V 040 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.
V 041 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:
V 042 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me no drink:
V 043 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.
V 044 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?
V 045 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.
V 046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal. |

مثل العذارى
1-
"ويُشبِهُ مَلكوتُ السَّماواتِ عَشرَ عَذارى
حمَلْنَ مَصابـيحَهُنَّ وخرَجْنَ لِلقاءِ العَريسِ.
2-
وكانَ
خَمسٌ مِنهُنَّ جاهِلاتٍ وخَمسٌ عاقِلاتٍ.
3-
فحَمَلتِ
الجاهِلاتُ مَصابـيحَهُنَّ، وما أخَذنَ معَهنَّ زَيتًا.
4-
وأمّا العاقِلاتُ، فأخَذْنَ معَ مَصابـيحِهِنَّ زَيتًا في
وِعاءٍ.
5-
وأبطأَ العَريسُ، فنَعِسنَ جميعًا ونِمنَ.
6-
وعِندَ نِصفِ اللَّيلِ عَلا الصَّياحُ: جاءَ
العَريسُ، فاَخْرُجْنَ لِلقائِهِ!
7-
فقامَتِ العَذارى
العَشْرُ وهيَّأْنَ مَصابـيحَهُنَّ.
8-
فقالَتِ الجاهِلاتُ لِلعاقِلاتِ: أعطينَنا
من زَيْتِكُنَّ، لأنَّ مَصابـيحَنا تَنطفِـئْ.
9-
فأجابَتِ
العاقِلاتُ: رُبَّما لا يكفي لنا وَلكُنَّ، فاَذهَبْنَ إلى
البَــيّاعينَ واَشترِينَ حاجَتَكُنَّ.
10-
وبَينَما هُنَّ ذاهباتٌ ليَشترينَ، وصَلَ
العَريسُ. فدَخلَتْ معَهُ المُستعِدّاتُ إلى مكانِ العُرسِ
وأُغلقَ البابُ.
11-
وبَعدَ حينٍ رجَعَتِ العَذارى الأُخَرُ
فقُلنَ: يا سيَّدُ، يا سيَّدُ، اَفتَحْ لنا!
12-
فأجابَهُنَّ
العريسُ: الحقَّ أقولُ لكُنَّ: أنا لا أعرِفُكُنَّ.
13-
فاَسهَروا، إذًا، لأنَّـكُم لا تَعرِفونَ
اليومَ ولا السّاعَةَ.
مثل الوزنات.
14-
"ويُشبِهُ مَلكوتُ السَّماواتِ رجُلاً أرادَ
السَّفَرَ، فدَعا خدَمَهُ وسَلَّمَ إلَيهِم أموالَهُ،
15-
كُلُّ واحدٍ مِنهُم على قَدْرِ طاقَتِهِ.
فأعطى الأوّلَ خمسَ وزَناتٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ، والثّاني
وزْنَــتَينِ، والثّالثَ وزنَةً واحدةً وسافرَ.
16-
فأسرَعَ الَّذي أخذَ الوَزَناتِ الخَمسَ إلى
المتُاجَرةِ بِها، فربِـحَ خَمسَ وزَناتٍ.
17-
وكذلِكَ الَّذي أخذَ الوَزْنَتينِ، فرَبِـحَ
وزْنَتينِ.
18-
وأمّا الَّذي أخذَ الوَزْنَة الواحدَةَ،
فذهَبَ وحفَرَ حُفْرةً في الأرضِ ودفَنَ مالَ سيَّدِهِ.
19-
وبَعدَ مُدّةٍ طويلةٍ، رجَعَ سيَّدُ
هؤُلاءِ الخَدَمِ وحاسَبَهُم.
20-
فجاءَ الَّذي أخَذَ
الوَزَناتِ الخَمسَ، فدَفَعَ خَمسَ وزَناتٍ مَعَها وقالَ: يا
سيَّدي، أعطيتَني خَمسَ وَزَناتٍ، فخُذْ خَمسَ وزَناتٍ
رَبِحتُها.
21-
فقالَ لَه سيَّدُهُ: أحسَنتَ، أيٌّها الخادمُ
الصالِـحُ الأمينُ! كُنتَ أمينًا على القليلِ، فسَأُقيمُكَ
على الكَثيرِ: اَدخُلْ نَعيمَ سيَّدِكَ.
22-
وجاءَ الَّذي أخَذَ الوَزْنتَينِ، فقالَ: يا سيَّدي،
أعطَيتَني وزْنَــتَينِ، فخُذْ معَهُما وزْنتَينِ
رَبِحتُهُما.
23-
فَقالَ لَه سيَّدُهُ: أحسنتَ، أيٌّها
الخادِمُ الصّالِـحُ الأمينُ! كُنتَ أمينًا على
القَليلِ، فسأُقيمُكَ على الكَثيرِ: اَدخُلْ نَعيمَ
سيَّدكَ
24-
وجاءَ الَّذي أخَذَ الوَزْنةَ الواحِدَةَ، فقالَ: يا سيَّدُ،
عَرَفْتُكَ رجُلاً قاسِيًا، تحصِدُ حيثُ لا تَزرَعُ،
وتَجمَعُ حيث لا تَبذُرُ،
25-
فخِفتُ. فذَهبتُ ودفَنْتُ مالَكَ في الأرضِ، وها هوَ مالُكَ.
26-
فأجابَهُ سيَّدُهُ: يا لَكَ من خادِمِ شِرّيرٍ كَسلانَ!
عَرَفتَني أحصِدُ حَيثُ لا أزرَعُ وأجمَعُ حيثُ لا أبذُرُ،
27-
فكانَ علَيكَ أنْ تضَعَ مالي عِندَ الصَّيارِفَةِ، وكُنتُ في
عَودتي أستَرِدٌّهُ معَ الفائِدَةِ.
28-
وقالَ لخَدَمِه: خُذوا مِنهُ الوَزْنَةَ واَدْفَعوها إلى
صاحِبِ الوَزَناتِ العَشْرِ،
29-
لأنَّ مَنْ كانَ لَه شيءٌ، يُزادُ فيَفيضُ. ومَنْ لا شيءَ
لَه، يُؤخذُ مِنهُ حتى الَّذي لَه.
30-
وهذا الخادِمُ الَّذي لا نَفْعَ مِنهُ، اَطرَحوهُ خارِجًا في
الظّلامِ. فهُناكَ البُكاءُ وصَريفُ الأسنانِ.
يوم الدينونة.
31-
"ومَتى جاءَ اَبنُ الإنسانِ في
مَجدِهِ، ومعَهُ جميعُ ملائِكَتِهِ يَجلِسُ على عرشِهِ
المَجيدِ،
32-
وتَحتَشِدُ أمامَهُ جميعُ الشٌّعوبِ،
فيُفرِزُ بَعضَهُم عَنْ بَعضٍ، مِثلَما يُفرِزُ
الرّاعي الخِرافَ عَنِ الجداءِ،
33-
فيَجعَلُ الخِرافَ عَنْ يَمينِهِ
والجِداءَ عن شِمالِه.
34-
ويقولُ المَلِكُ للَّذينَ عن يَمينِهِ:
تَعالَوا، يا مَنْ باركهُم أبـي، رِثُوا المَلكوتَ
الذي هَيَّـأهُ لكُم مُنذُ إنشاءِ العالَمِ،
35-
لأنَّي جُعتُ فأطعَمتُموني، وعَطِشتُ
فسَقَيْتُموني، وكُنتُ غَريبًا فآوَيْتُموني،
36-
وعُريانًا فكَسَوْتُموني، ومَريضًا
فَزُرتُموني، وسَجينًا فجِئتُم إليَّ.
37-
فيُجيبُهُ الصّالِحونَ: يا ربٌّ، متى
رأيناكَ جوعانًا فأطْعَمناكَ؟ أو عَطشانًا
فَسَقيْناكَ؟
38-
ومتى رَأيناكَ غَريبًا فآويناكَ؟ أو
عُريانًا فكَسوناكَ؟
39-
ومتى رَأيناكَ مَريضًا أو سَجينًا
فزُرناكَ؟
40-
فيُجيبُهُمُ المَلِكُ: الحقَّ أقولُ
لكُم: كُلَ مَرَّةٍ عَمِلْتُم هذا لواحدٍ من إخوتي
هَؤلاءِ الصَّغارِ، فلي عَمِلتُموهُ!
41-
ثُمَّ يَقولُ لِلَّذينَ عَنْ
شِمالِهِ: اَبتَعِدوا عنَّي، يا ملاعينُ، إلى النّارِ
الأبدِيَّةِ المُهيّـأةِ لإبليسَ وأعوانِهِ:
42-
لأنَّي
جُعتُ فما أطعَمْتُموني، وعَطِشتُ فما سَقَيْتُموني،
43-
وكُنتُ غَريبًا فما آوَيْتموني، وعُريانًا فما
كَسَوْتُموني، ومريضًا وسَجينًا فما زُرْتُموني.
44-
فيُجيبُهُ هؤُلاءِ: يا ربٌّ، متى رأيناكَ جوعانًا أو
عَطشانًا، غريبًا أو عُريانًا، مريضًا أو سَجينًا، وما
أسْعَفْناكَ؟
45-
فيُجيبُهُم المَلِكُ: الحقَّ أقولُ
لكُم: كُلَ مرَّةٍ ما عَمِلتُم هذا لِواحدٍ مِنْ إخوتي
هؤلاءِ الصَّغارِ، فلي ما عمِلتُموهُ.
46-
فيذهَبُ
هؤُلاءِ إلى العَذابِ الأبديَّ، والصّالِحونَ إلى
الحياةِ الأبدِيَّةِ".
