¹Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

¹Siis on taevariik kümne neitsi sarnane, kes võtsid oma lambid ja läksid peigmehele vastu.

²And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

²Viis nendest olid rumalad ja viis arukad,

³For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:

³rumalad võtsid küll oma lambid, kuid ei võtnud kaasa õli,

⁴but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

⁴arukad võtsid aga lampidele lisaks kaasa õlianumad.

⁵Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

⁵Aga kui peigmees viibis, jäid nad kõik tukkuma ja uinusid magama.

⁶But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

⁶Aga keskööl kostis hüüd: 'Ennäe, peigmees! Tulge välja teda vastu võtma!'

⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

⁷Siis ärkasid kõik need neitsid ja seadsid korda oma lambid.

⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

⁸Rumalad ütlesid arukatele: 'Andke meile osa oma õlist, sest meie lambid kustuvad!'

⁹But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

⁹Aga arukad vastasid: 'Ei mingil juhul, sellest ei jätku meile ja teile! Minge pigem kaupmeeste juurde ja ostke enestele!'

¹⁰And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

¹⁰Aga kui nad olid ostma läinud, tuli peigmees, ja kes olid valmis, läksid temaga pulma, ja uks lukustati.

¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

¹¹Hiljem tulid ka need teised neitsid ja ütlesid: 'Isand, isand, ava meile!'

¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

¹²Aga tema vastas neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, ma ei tunne teid.'

¹³Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

¹³Valvake siis, sest te ei tea seda päeva ega tundi!

¹⁴For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

¹⁴Sest sellega on lugu just nagu mehega, kes enne võõrsile minemist kutsus oma sulased ja andis oma varanduse nende kätte.

¹⁵And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

¹⁵Ühele andis ta viis talenti, teisele kaks ja kolmandale ühe, igaühele tema suutlikkust mööda, ning läks ära võõrsile.

¹⁶Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.

¹⁶Kohe läks see, kes oli saanud viis talenti, ja kauples nendega ning sai teist viis.

¹⁷In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.

¹⁷Nõndasamuti ka kaks talenti saanu sai teist kaks juurde.

¹⁸But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

¹⁸Aga kes oli saanud ühe, läks ja kaevas maasse augu ning peitis ära oma isanda raha.

¹⁹Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.

¹⁹Pika aja pärast tuli nende sulaste isand koju ja nõudis neilt aru.

²⁰And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.

²⁰Siis astus ta ette see, kes oli saanud viis talenti, lisas sellele teist viis talenti ja ütles: 'Isand, sa andsid mulle viis talenti, ennäe, ma olen saanud teist viis talenti!'

²¹His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²¹Ta isand lausus talle: 'Tubli, sa hea ja ustav sulane, sa oled olnud ustav pisku üle, ma panen su palju üle. Mine oma isanda rõõmupeole!'

²²And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.

²²Ka kaks talenti saanu ütles ta ette astudes: 'Isand, sa andsid mulle kaks talenti, ennäe, ma olen saanud teist kaks talenti!'

²³His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²³Ta isand lausus talle: 'Tubli, sa hea ja ustav sulane, sa oled olnud ustav pisku üle, ma panen su palju üle. Mine oma isanda rõõmupeole!'

²⁴And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

²⁴Siis astus tema ette ka see, kes oli saanud ühe talendi, ja ütles: 'Isand, ma tean, et sa oled vali mees, sa lõikad sealt, kuhu sa ei ole külvanud, ja kogud sealt, kuhu sa ei ole puistanud.

²⁵and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.

²⁵Ja ma kartsin, läksin ära ja peitsin sinu talendi maa sisse. Vaata, siin on sinu oma!'

²⁶But 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 did not scatter;

²⁶Tema isand aga vastas talle: 'Sa halb ja laisk sulane! Sa teadsid, et ma lõikan sealt, kuhu ma ei ole külvanud, ja kogun sealt, kuhu ma ei ole puistanud.

²⁷thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.

²⁷Siis sa oleksid pidanud mu raha andma pankurite kätte, ja tulles ma oleksin saanud oma osa kätte vahekasuga.

²⁸Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.

²⁸Võtke nüüd tema käest talent ära ja andke sellele, kellel on kümme talenti!

²⁹For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

²⁹Sest igaühele, kellel on, antakse, ja tal on rohkem kui küllalt, kellel aga ei ole, selle käest võetakse ära seegi, mis tal on.

³⁰And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

³⁰Ja kõlbmatu sulane heitke välja kaugele pimedusse, seal on ulgumine ja hammaste kiristamine!'

³¹But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

³¹Aga kui Inimese Poeg tuleb oma kirkuses ja kõik inglid temaga, siis ta istub oma kirkuse troonile

³²and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

³²ja ta ette kogutakse kõik rahvad ja ta eraldab nad üksteisest, otsekui karjane eraldab lambad sikkudest.

³³and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

³³Ja ta seab lambad oma paremale käele, sikud aga vasakule käele.

³⁴Then 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:

³⁴Siis ütleb kuningas oma paremal käel olijatele: 'Tulge siia, minu Isa õnnistatud, pärige kuningriik, mis teile on valmistatud maailma rajamisest peale!

³⁵for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

³⁵Sest mul oli nälg ja te andsite mulle süüa, mul oli janu ja te andsite mulle juua, ma olin kodutu ja te võtsite mu vastu,

³⁶naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

³⁶ma olin alasti ja te riietasite mind, ma olin haige ja te tulite mind vaatama, ma olin vangis ja te tulite mu juurde.'

³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?

³⁷Siis vastavad õiged talle: 'Issand, millal me nägime sind näljasena ja toitsime sind, või janusena ja jootsime sind?

³⁸And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

³⁸Millal me nägime sind kodutuna ja võtsime su vastu, või alasti ja riietasime sind?

³⁹And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

³⁹Millal me nägime sind haigena või vangis ja tulime su juurde?'

⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me.

⁴⁰Ja kuningas vastab neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, mida te iganes olete teinud kellele tahes mu kõige pisematest vendadest, seda te olete teinud mulle.'

⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁴¹Siis ta ütleb ka vasakul käel olijatele: 'Minge ära minu juurest, te äraneetud, igavesse tulle, mis on valmistatud kuradile ja tema inglitele!

⁴²for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;

⁴²Sest mul oli nälg ja te ei andnud mulle süüa, mul oli janu ja te ei andnud mulle juua,

⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

⁴³ma olin kodutu ja te ei võtnud mind vastu, ma olin alasti ja te ei riietanud mind, ma olin haige ja vangis ja te ei tulnud mind vaatama.'

⁴⁴Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

⁴⁴Siis vastavad ka need: 'Issand, millal me nägime sind näljasena või janusena või kodutuna või alasti või haigena või vangis ja ei ole sind teeninud?'

⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.

⁴⁵Siis ta vastab neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, mida te iganes olete jätnud tegemata kellele tahes mu kõige pisematest vendadest, seda te olete jätnud tegemata minulegi.'

⁴⁶And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

⁴⁶Ja need lähevad igavesse karistusse, õiged aga igavesse ellu.'
