¹Vtedy bude podobné nebeské kráľovstvo desiatim pannám, ktoré vzaly svoje lampy a vyšly vústrety ženíchovi.

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

²Ale päť z nich bolo rozumných a päť bláznivých.

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

³Bláznivé vezmúc svoje lampy nevzaly so sebou oleja;

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

⁴ale rozumné vzaly oleja vo svojich nádobách so svojimi lampami.

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

⁵A keď neprichádzal ženích, podriemaly všetky a pospaly.

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

⁶Ale o polnoci povstal krik: Hľa, ženích ide! Vyjdite mu vústrety!

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

⁷Vtedy vstaly všetky tie panny a ozdobily svoje lampy.

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

⁸A bláznivé povedaly rozumným: Dajte nám zo svojho oleja, lebo naše lampy hasnú.

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

⁹Ale rozumné odpovedaly a riekly: Aby snáď nebolo pre nás i pre vás málo, iďte radšej k predavačom a kúpte si!

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.

¹⁰A keď odišly kúpiť, prišiel ženích, a tie, ktoré boly hotové, vošly s ním na svadbu, a zavrely sa dvere.

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;

¹¹Potom na koniec prišly aj tie ostatné panny a hovorily: Pane, Pane, otvor nám!

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

¹²Ale on odpovedal a riekol: Ameň vám hovorím, neznám vás!

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

¹³Bdejte tedy, lebo neviete dňa, ani hodiny, kedy prijde Syn človeka.

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

¹⁴Lebo bude tak, ako čo istý človek, ktorý odchádzal na cestu, povolal svojich vlastných sluhov a odovzdal im svoj majetok.

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

¹⁵A jednému dal päť hrivien, jednému dve a jednému jednu, každému podľa jeho vlastnej možnosti, a odcestoval.

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.

¹⁶A ten, ktorý dostal päť hrivien, odišiel hneď, zarábal nimi a vyrobil druhých päť hrivien;

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

¹⁷podobne i ten, ktorý dostal dve, získal druhé dve.

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

¹⁸Ale ten, ktorý dostal jednu, odišiel, vykopal jamu do zeme a skryl peniaze svojho pána.

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

¹⁹Potom po dlhom čase prišiel pán tých sluhov a účtoval s nimi.

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

²⁰A pristúpil ten, ktorý bol dostal päť hrivien, a doniesol iných päť hrivien a povedal: Pane, päť hrivien si mi odovzdal, hľa, iných päť hrivien som získal nimi.

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.

²¹A jeho pán mu povedal: Dobre sluha, dobrý a verný, nad málom si bol verný, nad mnohom ťa ustanovím. Vojdi do radosti svojho pána!

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.

²²A pristúpil aj ten, ktorý bol dostal dve hrivny, a povedal: Pane, dve hrivny si mi odovzdal; hľa, iné dve hrivny som získal nimi.

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.

²³A jeho pán mu povedal: Dobre, sluha, dobrý a verný, nad málom si bol verný, nad mnohom ťa ustanovím. Vojdi do radosti svojho pána!

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.

²⁴Potom pristúpil aj ten, ktorý bol dostal jednu hrivnu, a povedal: Pane, znal som ťa, že si prísny človek, ktorý žneš, kde si nesial, a shromažďuješ ztade, kde si nerozsypal,

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;

²⁵a bojac sa odišiel som a skryl som tvoju hrivnu v zemi; hľa, tu máš, čo je tvoje.

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

²⁶A jeho pán odpovedal a riekol mu: Zlý sluha a lenivý, vedel si, že žnem, kde som nesial, a shromažďujem ztade, kde som nerozsypal.

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!

²⁷Tak si mal hodiť moje peniaze peňazomencom, a ja prijdúc bol by som vzal svoje s úrokom.

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

²⁸Tedy vezmite od neho hrivnu a dajte tomu, ktorý má desať hrivien.

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

²⁹Lebo každému, kto má, bude dané, a bude mať hojnosť; ale od toho, kto nemá, bude vzaté i to, čo má.

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;

³⁰A toho neužitočného sluhu vyhoďte do vonkajšej tmy! Tam bude plač a škrípanie zubami.

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

³¹A keď prijde Syn človeka vo svojej sláve a všetci svätí anjeli s ním, vtedy sa posadí na tróne svojej slávy,

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;

³²a shromaždené budú pred neho všetky národy, a oddelí ich, jedných od druhých, ako pastier oddeľuje ovce od kozlov,

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,

³³a postaví ovce po svojej pravici a kozlov po ľavici.

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

³⁴Vtedy povie Kráľ tým, ktorí budú po jeho pravici: Poďte, požehnaní môjho Otca, vládnite dedične kráľovstvom, vám pripraveným od založenia sveta.

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;

³⁵Lebo som bol hladný, a dali ste mi jesť; smädný som bol, a dali ste mi piť; hosťom-cudzincom som bol, a prijali ste ma;

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;

³⁶nahý, a odiali ste ma; nemocný som bol, a navštívili ste ma; v žalári som bol, a prišli ste za mnou.

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

³⁷Vtedy mu odpovedia spravedliví a rieknu: Pane, kedy sme ťa videli hladného a nakŕmili sme ťa, alebo smädného a napojili sme ťa?

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?

³⁸A kedyže sme ťa videli hosťa-cudzinca a prijali sme ťa, alebo nahého a odiali sme ťa?

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

³⁹A kedy sme ťa videli nemocného alebo v žalári a prišli sme za tebou?

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

⁴⁰A Kráľ odpovedajúc riekne im: Ameň vám hovorím, že nakoľko ste to učinili jednému z týchto mojich najmenších bratov, mne ste učinili.

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].

⁴¹Potom povie aj tým po ľavici: Iďte odo mňa, zlorečení, do večného ohňa, pripraveného diablovi a jeho anjelom.

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;

⁴²Lebo som bol hladný, a nedali ste mi jesť; smädný som bol, a nedali ste mi piť;

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

⁴³hosťom-cudzincom som bol, a neprijali ste ma; nahý, a neodiali ste ma; nemocný a v žalári a nenavštívili ste ma.

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.

⁴⁴Vtedy mu aj oni odpovedia a rieknu: Pane, kedy sme ťa videli hladného alebo smädného alebo jako hosťa-cudzinca alebo nahého alebo nemocného alebo v žalári a neposlúžili sme ti?

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?

⁴⁵Vtedy im odpovie a riekne: Ameň vám hovorím, že nakoľko ste toho neučinili jednému z týchto najmenších, ani mne ste neučinili.

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.

⁴⁶A títo pojdú do večného trápenia, ale spravedliví do večného života.

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