Matthew 25

Da skal Himmeriges Rige lignes ved ti Jomfruer, som toge deres Lamper og gik Brudgommen i Møde.

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

Men fem af dem vare Dårer, og fem kloge.

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

Dårerne toge nemlig deres Lamper, men toge ikke Olie med sig.

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Men de kloge toge Olie i deres Kar tillige med deres Lamper.

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Og da Brudgommen tøvede, slumrede de alle ind og sov.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Men ved Midnat lød der et Råb: Se, Brudgommen kommer, går ham i Møde!

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Da vågnede alle Jomfruerne og gjorde deres Lamper i Stand.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Men Dårerne sagde til de kloge: Giver os af eders Olie; thi vore Lamper slukkes.

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

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 wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

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.

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

Men senere komme også de andre Jomfruer og sige: Herre, Herre, luk op for os!

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

Men han svarede og sagde: Sandelig, siger jeg eder, jeg kender eder ikke.

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

Våger derfor, thi I vide ikke Dagen, ej heller Timen.

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Thi det er ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands og kaldte på sine Tjenere og overgav dem sin Ejendom;

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

og en gav han fem Talenter, en anden to, og en tredje en, hver efter hans Evne; og straks derefter drog han udenlands.

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

Men den, som havde fået de fem Talenter, gik hen og købslog med dem og vandt andre fem Talenter

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

Ligeså vandt også den, som havde fået de to Talenter,andre to.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

Men den, som havde fået den ene, gik bort og gravede i Jorden og skjulte sin Herres Penge.

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

Men lang Tid derefter kommer disse Tjeneres Herre og holder Regnskab med dem.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

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 so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

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

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.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

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

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;

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

og jeg frygtede og gik hen og skjulte din Talent i Jorden; se, her har du, hvad dit er.

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

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;

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 have not strawed:

derfor burde du have overgivet Vekselererne mine Penge; og når jeg kom, da havde jeg fået mit igen med Rente.

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

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 unto him which hath ten talents.

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

Og kaster den unyttige Tjener ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.

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

Men når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin Herlighed og alle Englene med ham, da skal han sidde på sin Herligheds Trone.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Og alle Folkeslagene skulle samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, ligesom Hyrden skiller Fårene fra Bukkene.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Og han skal stille Fårene ved sin højre Side og Bukkene ved den venstre.

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

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 unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

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 was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

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 sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

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 an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Når så vi dig fremmed og toge dig hjem til os, eller nøgen og klædte dig?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Når så vi dig syg eller i Fængsel og kom til dig?

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

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 shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

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.

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

Thi jeg var hungrig, og I gave mig ikke at spise; jeg var tørstig, og I gave mig ikke at drikke;

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

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 clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

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 him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

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 unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Og disse skulle gå bort til evig Straf, men de retfærdige til evigt Liv."

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