Matthæus 25
1 Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.
Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.
And five of them were prudent and five foolish.
3 Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.
They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;
4 Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.
but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.
5 Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.
Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.
6 Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!
But in [the] middle of [the] night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him.
7 Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their torches.
8 Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.
And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.
9 Men de kloge svarede og sagde: Der vilde vist ikke blive nok til os og til eder; går hellere hen til Købmændene og køber til eder selv!
But the prudent answered saying, [We cannot, ] lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Men medens de gik bort for at købe, kom Brudgommen, og de, som vare rede, gik ind med ham til Brylluppet; og Døren blev lukket.
But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the [ones that were] ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
11 Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!
Afterwards come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us;
12 Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.
but he answering said, Verily I say unto you, I do not know you.
13 Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
14 Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte på sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;
For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
15 og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
16 Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter
And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
17 Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter, andre to.
In like manner also he that [had received] the two, [he also] gained two others.
18 Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.
But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19 Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.
And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.
20 Og den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, kom frem og bragte andre fem Talenter og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig fem Talenter; se, jeg har vundet fem andre Talenter.
And he that had received the five talents came to [him] and brought five other talents, saying, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.
21 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gå ind til din Herres Glæde!
His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.
22 Da kom også han frem, som havde fået de to Talenter, og sagde: Herre! du overgav mig to Talenter; se, jeg har vundet to andre Talenter.
And he also that had received the two talents came to [him] and said, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
23 Hans Herre sagde til ham: Vel, du gode og tro Tjener! du var tro over lidet, jeg vil sætte dig over meget; gå ind til din Herres glæde!
His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Men også han, som havde fået den ene Talent, kom frem og sagde: Herre! jeg kendte dig, at du er en hård Mand, som høster, hvor du ikke såede, og samler, hvor du ikke spredte;
And he also that had received the one talent coming to [him] said, [My] lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,
25 og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.
and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.
26 Men hans Herre svarede og sagde til ham: Du onde og lade Tjener! du vidste, at jeg høster, hvor jeg ikke såede, og samler, hvor jeg ikke spredte;
And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;
27 derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og når jeg kom, da havde jeg fået mit igen med Rente.
thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.
28 Tager derfor den Talent fra ham, og giver den til ham, som har de ti Talenter.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:
29 Thi enhver, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal få Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
30 Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.
And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
31 Men når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde på sin Herligheds Trone.
But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,
32 Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.
and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.
and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on [his] left.
34 Da skal Kongen sige til dem ved sin højre Side: Kommer hid. I min Faders velsignede! arver det Rige, som har været eder beredt fra Verdens Grundlæggelse.
Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [the] world's foundation:
35 Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig at drikke; jeg var fremmed, og I toge mig hjem til eder;
for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig; jeg var syg, og I besøgte mig; jeg var i Fængsel, og I kom til mig.
naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
37 Da skulle de retfærdige svare ham og sige: Herre! når så vi dig hungrig og gave dig Mad, eller tørstig og gave dig at drikke?
Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?
38 Når så vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?
and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?
and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?
40 Og Kongen skal svare og sige til dem: Sandelig, siger jeg eder: Hvad I have gjort imod een af disse mine mindste Brødre, have I gjort imod mig.
And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
41 Da skal han også sige til dem ved den venstre Side: Går bort fra mig, I forbandede! til den evige Ild, som er beredt Djævelen og hans Engle. (aiōnios g166)
Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig ikke at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig ikke at drikke;
for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;
43 jeg var fremmed, og I toge mig ikke hjem til eder; jeg var nøgen, og I klædte mig ikke; jeg var syg og i Fængsel, og I besøgte mig ikke.
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.
44 Da skulle også de svare og sige: Herre! når så vi dig hungrig eller tørstig eller fremmed eller nøgen eller syg eller i Fængsel og tjente dig ikke?
Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?
45 Da skal han svare dem og sige: Sandelig, siger jeg eder: Hvad I ikke have gjort imod een af disse mindste, have I heller ikke gjort imod mig.
Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.
