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

¹ “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

²Viis nendest olid rumalad ja viis arukad,

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

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

³ Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

⁴arukad võtsid aga lampidele lisaks kaasa õlianumad.

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

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

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

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

⁶ But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’

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

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. The end of the wick of an oil lamp needs to be cut off periodically to avoid having it become clogged with carbon deposits. The wick height is also adjusted so that the flame burns evenly and gives good light without producing a lot of smoke.

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

⁸ The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’

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

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’

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

¹⁰ While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

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

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

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

¹² But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

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

¹³ Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

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

¹⁴ “For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

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

¹⁵ To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.

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

¹⁶ Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

¹⁷Nõndasamuti ka kaks talenti saanu sai teist kaks juurde.

¹⁷ In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.

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

¹⁸ But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

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

¹⁹ “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.

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!'

²⁰ He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.’

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!'

²¹ “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

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

²² “He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.’

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!'

²³ “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

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.

²⁴ “He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

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

²⁵ I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’

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.

²⁶ “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.

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

²⁷ You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.

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

²⁸ Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

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

²⁹ For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.

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

³⁰ Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

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

³¹ “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

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

³² Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

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

³³ He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

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

³⁴ Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

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,

³⁵ for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.

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

³⁶ I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’

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

³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

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

³⁸ When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

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

³⁹ When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’

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

⁴⁰ “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , you did it to me.’

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

⁴¹ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

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

⁴² for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

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.'

⁴³ I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

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?'

⁴⁴ “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’

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.'

⁴⁵ “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’

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

⁴⁶ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
