25:1 tunc simile erit regnum caelorum        1.  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be
decem virginibus quae accipientes            likened unto ten virgins, which took
lampadas suas exierunt obviam sponso et      their lamps, and went forth to meet the
sponsae                                      bridegroom.
                                             
25:2 quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae       2.  And five of them were wise, and
et quinque prudentes                         five were foolish.
                                             
25:3 sed quinque fatuae acceptis             3.  They that were foolish took their
lampadibus non sumpserunt oleum secum        lamps, and took no oil with them:
                                             
25:4 prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in      4.  But the wise took oil in their
vasis suis cum lampadibus                    vessels with their lamps.
                                             
25:5 moram autem faciente sponso             5.  While the bridegroom tarried, they
dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt            all slumbered and slept.
                                             
25:6 media autem nocte clamor factus         6.  And at midnight there was a cry
est ecce sponsus venit exite obviam ei       made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go
                                             ye out to meet him.
                                             
25:7 tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines         7.  Then all those virgins arose, and
illae et ornaverunt lampades suas            trimmed their lamps.
                                             
25:8 fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt       8.  And the foolish said unto the wise,
date nobis de oleo vestro quia lampades      Give us of your oil; for our lamps are
nostrae extinguntur                          gone out.
                                             
25:9 responderunt prudentes dicentes ne      9.  But the wise answered, saying, Not
forte non sufficiat nobis et vobis ite       so; lest there be not enough for us and
potius ad vendentes et emite vobis           you: but go ye rather to them that
                                             sell, and buy for yourselves.
                                             
25:10 dum autem irent emere venit            10.  And while they went to buy, the
sponsus et quae paratae erant                bridegroom came; and they that were
intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias et clausa      ready went in with him to the marriage:
est ianua                                    and the door was shut.
                                             
25:11 novissime veniunt et reliquae          11.  Afterward came also the other
virgines dicentes domine domine aperi        virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
nobis                                        

25:12 at ille respondens ait amen dico       12.  But he answered and said, Verily I
vobis nescio vos                             say unto you, I know you not.
                                             
25:13 vigilate itaque quia nescitis          13.  Watch therefore, for ye know
diem neque horam                             neither the day nor the hour wherein
                                             the Son of man cometh.
                                             
25:14 sicut enim homo proficiscens           14.  For the kingdom of heaven is as a
vocavit servos suos et tradidit illis        man travelling into a far country, who
bona sua                                     called his own servants, and delivered
                                             unto them his goods.
                                             
25:15 et uni dedit quinque talenta alii      15.  And unto one he gave five talents,
autem duo alii vero unum unicuique           to another two, and to another one; to
secundum propriam virtutem et profectus      every man according to his several
est statim                                   ability; and straightway took his
                                             journey.
                                             
25:16 abiit autem qui quinque talenta        16.  Then he that had received the five
acceperat et operatus est in eis et          talents went and traded with the same,
lucratus est alia quinque                    and made them other five talents.
                                             
25:17 similiter qui duo acceperat            17.  And likewise he that had received
lucratus est alia duo                        two, he also gained other two.
                                             
25:18 qui autem unum acceperat abiens        18.  But he that had received one went
fodit in terra et abscondit pecuniam         and digged in the earth, and hid his
domini sui                                   lord's money.
                                             
25:19 post multum vero temporis venit        19.  After a long time the lord of
dominus servorum illorum et posuit           those servants cometh, and reckoneth
rationem cum eis                             with them.
                                             
25:20 et accedens qui quinque talenta        20.  And so he that had received five
acceperat obtulit alia quinque talenta       talents came and brought other five
dicens domine quinque talenta mihi           talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst
tradidisti ecce alia quinque                 unto me five talents: behold, I have
superlucratus sum                            gained beside them five talents more.
                                             
25:21 ait illi dominus eius euge bone        21.  His lord said unto him, Well done,
serve et fidelis quia super pauca            thou good and faithful servant: thou
fuisti fidelis super multa te                hast been faithful over a few things, I
constituam intra in gaudium domini tui       will make thee ruler over many things:
                                             enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
                                             
25:22 accessit autem et qui duo talenta      22.  He also that had received two
acceperat et ait domine duo talenta          talents came and said, Lord, thou
tradidisti mihi ecce alia duo lucratus       deliveredst unto me two talents:
sum                                          behold, I have gained two other talents
                                             beside them.
                                             
25:23 ait illi dominus eius euge serve       23.  His lord said unto him, Well done,
bone et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti      good and faithful servant; thou hast
fidelis supra multa te constituam intra      been faithful over a few things, I will
in gaudium domini tui                        make thee ruler over many things: enter
                                             thou into the joy of thy lord.
                                             
25:24 accedens autem et qui unum             24.  Then he which had received the one
talentum acceperat ait domine scio quia      talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee
homo durus es metis ubi non seminasti        that thou art an hard man, reaping
et congregas ubi non sparsisti               where thou hast not sown, and gathering
                                             where thou hast not strawed:
                                             
25:25 et timens abii et abscondi             25.  And I was afraid, and went and hid
talentum tuum in terra ecce habes quod       thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou
tuum est                                     hast that is thine.
                                             
25:26 respondens autem dominus eius          26.  His lord answered and said unto
dixit ei serve male et piger sciebas         him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,
quia meto ubi non semino et congrego         thou knewest that I reap where I sowed
ubi non sparsi                               not, and gather where I have not
                                             strawed:
                                             
25:27 oportuit ergo te mittere pecuniam      27.  Thou oughtest therefore to have
meam nummulariis et veniens ego              put my money to the exchangers, and
recepissem utique quod meum est cum          then at my coming I should have
usura                                        received mine own with usury.
                                             
25:28 tollite itaque ab eo talentum et       28.  Take therefore the talent from
date ei qui habet decem talenta              him, and give it unto him which hath
                                             ten talents.
                                             
25:29 omni enim habenti dabitur et           29.  For unto every one that hath shall
abundabit ei autem qui non habet et          be given, and he shall have abundance:
quod videtur habere auferetur ab eo          but from him that hath not shall be
                                             taken away even that which he hath.
                                             
25:30 et inutilem servum eicite in           30.  And cast ye the unprofitable
tenebras exteriores illic erit fletus        servant into outer darkness: there
et stridor dentium                           shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
                                             
25:31 cum autem venerit Filius hominis       31.  When the Son of man shall come in
in maiestate sua et omnes angeli cum eo      his glory, and all the holy angels with
tunc sedebit super sedem maiestatis suae     him, then shall he sit upon the throne
                                             of his glory:
                                             
25:32 et congregabuntur ante eum omnes       32.  And before him shall be gathered
gentes et separabit eos ab invicem           all nations: and he shall separate them
sicut pastor segregat oves ab hedis          one from another, as a shepherd
                                             divideth his sheep from the goats:
                                             
25:33 et statuet oves quidem a dextris       33.  And he shall set the sheep on his
suis hedos autem a sinistris                 right hand, but the goats on the left.
                                             
25:34 tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris       34.  Then shall the King say unto them
eius erunt venite benedicti Patris mei       on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
possidete paratum vobis regnum a             my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
constitutione mundi                          for you from the foundation of the
                                             world:
                                             
25:35 esurivi enim et dedistis mihi          35.  For I was an hungred, and ye gave
manducare sitivi et dedistis mihi            me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
bibere hospes eram et collexistis me         drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me
                                             in:
                                             
25:36 nudus et operuistis me infirmus        36.  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
et visitastis me in carcere eram et          sick, and ye visited me: I was in
venistis ad me                               prison, and ye came unto me.
                                             
25:37 tunc respondebunt ei iusti             37.  Then shall the righteous answer
dicentes Domine quando te vidimus            him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
esurientem et pavimus sitientem et           hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and
dedimus tibi potum                           gave thee drink?
                                             
25:38 quando autem te vidimus hospitem       38.  When saw we thee a stranger, and
et colleximus te aut nudum et                took thee in? or naked, and clothed
cooperuimus                                  thee?
                                             
25:39 aut quando te vidimus infirmum         39.  Or when saw we thee sick, or in
aut in carcere et venimus ad te              prison, and came unto thee?
                                             
25:40 et respondens rex dicet illis          40.  And the King shall answer and say
amen dico vobis quamdiu fecistis uni de      unto them, Verily I say unto you,
his fratribus meis minimis mihi fecistis     Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
                                             the least of these my brethren, ye have
                                             done it unto me.
                                             
25:41 tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris      41.  Then shall he say also unto them
erunt discedite a me maledicti in ignem      on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
aeternum qui paratus est diabolo et          cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
angelis eius                                 for the devil and his angels:
                                             
25:42 esurivi enim et non dedistis mihi      42.  For I was an hungred, and ye gave
manducare sitivi et non dedistis mihi        me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
potum                                        me no drink:
                                             
25:43 hospes eram et non collexistis me      43.  I was a stranger, and ye took me
nudus et non operuistis me infirmus et       not in: naked, and ye clothed me not:
in carcere et non visitastis me              sick, and in prison, and ye visited me
                                             not.
                                             
25:44 tunc respondebunt et ipsi              44.  Then shall they also answer him,
dicentes Domine quando te vidimus            saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
esurientem aut sitientem aut hospitem        hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or
aut nudum aut infirmum vel in carcere        naked, or sick, or in prison, and did
et non ministravimus tibi                    not minister unto thee?
                                             
25:45 tunc respondebit illis dicens          45.  Then he will answer them saying,
amen dico vobis quamdiu non fecistis         Truly I say to you, to the extent that
uni de minoribus his nec mihi fecistis       you did not do it to one of the least of
                                             these, you did not do it to Me.'
                                             
25:46 et ibunt hii in supplicium             46.  And these shall go away into
aeternum iusti autem in vitam aeternam       everlasting punishment: but the
                                             righteous into life eternal.
