¹Ary amin'izany ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia ho tahaka ny virijina folo, izay nitondra ny fanalany ka nivoaka hitsena ny mpampakatra.[Na: fanilony]

¹`Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;

²Ary ny dimy tamin'ireo dia adala, fa ny dimy kosa hendry.

²and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;

³Fa ny adala nandray ny fanalany, nefa tsy nitondra solika fitaiza;[Na: fanilony]

³they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;

⁴ary ny hendry kosa nitondra solika tao anatin'ny fitondrany sy ny fanalany.[Na: fanilony]

⁴and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.

⁵Ary raha naharitra ela ny mpampakatra, dia samy rendrehana avy izy rehetra, ka dia natory.

⁵`And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,

⁶Ary nony mamatonalina, dia nisy antso hoe: Indro ny mpampakatra! Mivoaha mba hitsena azy.

⁶and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.

⁷Dia nitsangana ireo virijina ireo, ka samy namboatra ny fanalany.[Na: fanilony]

⁷`Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,

⁸Dia hoy ny adala tamin'ny hendry: Mba omeo kely amin'ny solikareo izahay; fa efa ho faty ny fanalanay.[Na: fanilonay]

⁸and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;

⁹Fa ny hendry namaly ka nanao hoe: Sao tsy ampy ho anay sy ho anareo, fa mandehana mankany amin'ny mpivarotra ianareo, ka mividiana ho anareo.

⁹and the prudent answered, saying — Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.

¹⁰Fa raha mbola lasa nividy izy, dia tonga ny mpampakatra, ary izay efa niomana dia niara-niditra taminy tao amin'ny fampakaram-bady, ary dia narindrina ny varavarana.

¹⁰`And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;

¹¹Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia tonga kosa ireo virijina teo ka nanao hoe Tompoko, tompoko, vohay izahay.

¹¹and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us;

¹²Fa izy namaly hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy fantatro ianareo.

¹²and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you.

¹³Koa amin'izany miambena ianareo, fa tsy fantatrareo na ny andro na ny ora.

¹³`Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

¹⁴Fa ny fanjakan'ny lanitra dia tahaka ny olona izay efa handeha ho any an-tany hafa ka niantso ny mpanompony, dia nanolotra azy ny fananany:

¹⁴`For — as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,

¹⁵koa ny anankiray nomeny talenta dimy, ny anankiray roa, ary ny anankiray iray,- samy araka izay fahaizany avy; dia lasa nandeha izy.

¹⁵and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.

¹⁶Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia lasa ilay nandray ny talenta dimy, ka nataony varotra izany; ary nahazo tombony talenta dimy koa izy.

¹⁶`And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents;

¹⁷Ary toy izany koa, ilay nandray ny roa dia nahazo roa ho tombony.

¹⁷in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;

¹⁸Fa ilay nandray ny iray kosa dia lasa nihady ny tany ka nandevina ny volan'ny tompony.

¹⁸and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord`s money.

¹⁹Ary nony ela, dia tonga ny tompon'ireo mpanompo ireo ka nampilaza azy ny amin'ny volany.

¹⁹`And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;

²⁰Ary nony nanatona ilay nandray ny talenta dimy, dia nitondra talenta dimy koa izy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, talenta dimy no natolotrao ahy; indro, nahazo tombony talenta dimy koa aho.

²⁰and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them.

²¹Hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky; nahatoky tamin'ny kely ianao, dia hotendreko ho mpanapaka ny be; midìra amin'ny fifalian'ny tomponao.[Na: Ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky, nahatoky tsara, etc]

²¹`And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

²²Ary nony nanatona koa ilay nandray ny talenta roa, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, talenta roa no natolotrao ahy; indro, nahazo tombony talenta roa koa aho.

²²`And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them.

²³Hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsara izany, ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky; nahatoky tamin'ny kely ianao, dia hotendreko ho mpanapaka ny be; midìra amin'ny fifalian'ny tomponao.[Na: Ry mpanompo tsara sady mahatoky, nahatoky tsara, etc]

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

²⁴Fa nony nanatona kosa ilay nandray ny talenta iray, dia nilaza hoe: Tompoko, fantatro fa olona mila voatsiary ianao, mijinja eny amin'izay tsy namafazanao, ary manangona eny amin'izay tsy nanahafanao;

²⁴`And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;

²⁵dia natahotra aho ka lasa nandevina ny talentanao tao anatin'ny tany; indry, lasanao ny anao.

²⁵and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own!

²⁶Ary ny tompony namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry mpanompo ratsy sady malaina, efa fantatrao fa mijinja eny amin'izay tsy namafazako aho, ary manangona eny amin'izay tsy nanahafako;

²⁶`And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter!

²⁷koa tokony ho nampanàna ny volako tamin'ny mpanana vola ianao, ka raha tonga aho, dia ho nandray ny ahy mban-janany.

²⁷it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.

²⁸Koa alao aminy ny talenta, dia omeo ilay manana ny talenta folo.

²⁸`Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,

²⁹Fa izay rehetra manana dia homena, ka hanam-be izy; fa izay tsy manana kosa, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.

²⁹for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;

³⁰Ary ario ho any amin'ny maizina any ivelany ny mpanompo tsy mahasoa; any no hisy ny fitomaniana sy ny fikitroha-nify.

³⁰and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

³¹Ary raha tonga ny Zanak'olona amin'ny voninahiny, arahin'ny anjely rehetra, dia hipetraka eo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny voninahiny Izy;

³¹`And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;

³²ary ny firenena rehetra hangonina eo anatrehany, dia hanavaka azy, tahaka ny mpiandry ondry manavaka ny ondry amin'ny osy;[Gr: zanak'osy]

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

³³ary hametraka ny ondry eo amin'ny ankavanany Izy, fa ny osy eo amin'ny ankaviany.

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

³⁴Ary amin'izany ny Mpanjaka dia hilaza amin'izay eo amin'ny ankavanany hoe: Avia ianareo izay notahin'ny Raiko, mandovà ny fanjakana izay voavoatra ho anareo hatrizay nanorenana izao tontolo izao;

³⁴`Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

³⁵fa noana Aho, dia nomenareo hanina; nangetaheta Aho dia nampisotroinareo; nivahiny Aho, dia nampiantranoinareo;

³⁵for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;

³⁶tsy nanan-kitafy Aho, dia notafianareo; narary Aho, dia notsaboinareo; tao an-tranomaizina Aho, dia novangianareo.

³⁶naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.

³⁷Ary dia hamaly Azy ny marina ka hanao hoe: Tompoko, oviana no hitanay noana Hianao ka nomenay hanina, na nangetaheta ka nampisotroinay?

³⁷`Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink?

³⁸Ary oviana no hitanay nivahiny Hianao ka nampiantranoinay, na tsy nanan-kitafy ka notafianay?

³⁸and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?

³⁹Ary oviana no hitanay narary Hianao, na tao an-tranomaizina, ka novangianay?

³⁹and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee?

⁴⁰Dia hamaly ny Mpanjaka ka hanao aminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Araka izay efa nataonareo tamin'ny anankiray amin'ireto rahalahiko kely indrindra ireto no nataonareo tamiko.

⁴⁰`And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren — the least — to me ye did [it].

⁴¹Ary dia hilaza indray amin'izay eo amin'ny ankaviany kosa Izy hoe: Mialà amiko, ianareo izay voaozona, ho any amin'ny afo maharitra mandrakizay, izay voavoatra ho an'ny devoly sy ny anjeliny;

⁴¹Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

⁴²fa noana Aho, fa tsy mba nomenareo hanina; nangetaheta Aho, fa tsy mba nampisotroinareo;

⁴²for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;

⁴³nivahiny Aho, fa tsy mba nampiantranoinareo; tsy nanan-kitafy Aho, fa tsy mba notafianareo; narary sy tao an-tranomaizina Aho, fa tsy mba novangianareo.

⁴³a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me.

⁴⁴Ary dia hamaly kosa ireo hoe: Tompoko, oviana no hitanay noana Hianao, na nangetaheta, na nivahiny, na tsy nanan-kitafy, na narary, na tao an-tranomaizina, ka tsy mba nanompo Anao izahay?

⁴⁴`Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?

⁴⁵Fa hamaly azy Izy ka hanao hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Araka izay tsy nataonareo tamin'ny anankiray amin'ireto kely indrindra ireto no tsy mba nataonareo tamiko.Ary ireo dia hiala ho any amin'ny fampijaliana mandrakizay; fa ny marina ho any amin'ny fiainana mandrakizay.

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

⁴⁶Ary ireo dia hiala ho any amin'ny fampijaliana mandrakizay; fa ny marina ho any amin'ny fiainana mandrakizay.

⁴⁶And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.`
