Matthew 25

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

«حِينَئِذٍ يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَشْرَ عَذَارَى، أَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وَخَرَجْنَ لِلِقَاءِ الْعَرِيسِ.

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

وَكَانَ خَمْسٌ مِنْهُنَّ حَكِيمَاتٍ، وَخَمْسٌ جَاهِلاَتٍ.

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

أَمَّا الْجَاهِلاَتُ فَأَخَذْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْنَ مَعَهُنَّ زَيْتًا،

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

وَأَمَّا الْحَكِيمَاتُ فَأَخَذْنَ زَيْتًا فِي آنِيَتِهِنَّ مَعَ مَصَابِيحِهِنَّ.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

وَفِيمَا أَبْطَأَ الْعَرِيسُ نَعَسْنَ جَمِيعُهُنَّ وَنِمْنَ.

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

فَفِي نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ صَارَ صُرَاخٌ: هُوَذَا الْعَرِيسُ مُقْبِلٌ، فَاخْرُجْنَ لِلِقَائِهِ!

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

فَقَامَتْ جَمِيعُ أُولئِكَ الْعَذَارَى وَأَصْلَحْنَ مَصَابِيحَهُنَّ.

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

فَقَالَتِ الْجَاهِلاَتُ لِلْحَكِيمَاتِ: أَعْطِينَنَا مِنْ زَيْتِكُنَّ فَإِنَّ مَصَابِيحَنَا تَنْطَفِئُ.

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.

فَأَجَابَتِ الْحَكِيمَاتُ قَائِلاتٍ: لَعَلَّهُ لاَ يَكْفِي لَنَا وَلَكُنَّ، بَلِ اذْهَبْنَ إِلَى الْبَاعَةِ وَابْتَعْنَ لَكُنَّ.

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.

وَفِيمَا هُنَّ ذَاهِبَاتٌ لِيَبْتَعْنَ جَاءَ الْعَرِيسُ، وَالْمُسْتَعِدَّاتُ دَخَلْنَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْعُرْسِ، وَأُغْلِقَ الْبَابُ.

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

أَخِيرًا جَاءَتْ بَقِيَّةُ الْعَذَارَى أَيْضًا قَائِلاَتٍ: يَا سَيِّدُ، يَا سَيِّدُ، افْتَحْ لَنَا!

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

فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُنَّ: إِنِّي مَا أَعْرِفُكُنَّ.

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

فَاسْهَرُوا إِذًا لأَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَعْرِفُونَ الْيَوْمَ وَلاَ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَأْتِي فِيهَا ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.

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.

«وَكَأَنَّمَا إِنْسَانٌ مُسَافِرٌ دَعَا عَبِيدَهُ وَسَلَّمَهُمْ أَمْوَالَهُ،

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.

فَأَعْطَى وَاحِدًا خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ، وَآخَرَ وَزْنَتَيْنِ، وَآخَرَ وَزْنَةً. كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ. وَسَافَرَ لِلْوَقْتِ.

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

فَمَضَى الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْخَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ وَتَاجَرَ بِهَا، فَرَبحَ خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخَرَ.

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

وَهكَذَا الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَتَيْنِ، رَبِحَ أَيْضًا وَزْنَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ.

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

وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَةَ فَمَضَى وَحَفَرَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَأَخْفَى فِضَّةَ سَيِّدِهِ.

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

وَبَعْدَ زَمَانٍ طَوِيل أَتَى سَيِّدُ أُولئِكَ الْعَبِيدِ وَحَاسَبَهُمْ.

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.

فَجَاءَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْخَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ وَقَدَّمَ خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخَرَ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ، خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ سَلَّمْتَنِي. هُوَذَا خَمْسُ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخَرُ رَبِحْتُهَا فَوْقَهَا.

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.

فَقَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ وَالأَمِينُ! كُنْتَ أَمِينًا فِي الْقَلِيلِ فَأُقِيمُكَ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ. اُدْخُلْ إِلَى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ.

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.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ: يَا سَيِّدُ، وَزْنَتَيْنِ سَلَّمْتَنِي. هُوَذَا وَزْنَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ رَبِحْتُهُمَا فَوْقَهُمَا.

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.

قَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ الأَمِينُ! كُنْتَ أَمِينًا فِي الْقَلِيلِ فَأُقِيمُكَ عَلَى الْكَثِيرِ. اُدْخُلْ إِلَى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ.

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:

ثُمَّ جَاءَ أَيْضًا الَّذِي أَخَذَ الْوَزْنَةَ الْوَاحِدَةَ وَقَالَ: يَا سَيِّدُ، عَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ إِنْسَانٌ قَاسٍ، تَحْصُدُ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَزْرَعْ، وَتَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَبْذُرْ.

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

فَخِفْتُ وَمَضَيْتُ وَأَخْفَيْتُ وَزْنَتَكَ فِي الأَرْضِ. هُوَذَا الَّذِي لَكَ.

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:

فَأَجَابَ سَيِّدُهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الشِّرِّيرُ وَالْكَسْلاَنُ، عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي أَحْصُدُ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَزْرَعْ، وَأَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَبْذُرْ،

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

فَكَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَضَعَ فِضَّتِي عِنْدَ الصَّيَارِفَةِ، فَعِنْدَ مَجِيئِي كُنْتُ آخُذُ الَّذِي لِي مَعَ رِبًا.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

فَخُذُوا مِنْهُ الْوَزْنَةَ وَأَعْطُوهَا لِلَّذِي لَهُ الْعَشْرُ وَزَنَاتٍ.

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.

لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى فَيَزْدَادُ، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَالَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ.

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

وَالْعَبْدُ الْبَطَّالُ اطْرَحُوهُ إِلَى الظُّلْمَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الْبُكَاءُ وَصَرِيرُ الأَسْنَانِ.

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:

«وَمَتَى جَاءَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ فِي مَجْدِهِ وَجَمِيعُ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ مَعَهُ، فَحِينَئِذٍ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مَجْدِهِ.

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:

وَيَجْتَمِعُ أَمَامَهُ جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ، فَيُمَيِّزُ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ كَمَا يُمَيِّزُ الرَّاعِي الْخِرَافَ مِنَ الْجِدَاءِ،

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

فَيُقِيمُ الْخِرَافَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالْجِدَاءَ عَنِ الْيَسَارِ.

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:

ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْمَلِكُ لِلَّذِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ: تَعَالَوْا يَا مُبَارَكِي أَبِي، رِثُوا الْمَلَكُوتَ الْمُعَدَّ لَكُمْ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ.

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:

لأَنِّي جُعْتُ فَأَطْعَمْتُمُونِي. عَطِشْتُ فَسَقَيْتُمُونِي. كُنْتُ غَرِيبًا فَآوَيْتُمُونِي.

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

عُرْيَانًا فَكَسَوْتُمُونِي. مَرِيضًا فَزُرْتُمُونِي. مَحْبُوسًا فَأَتَيْتُمْ إِلَيَّ.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

فَيُجِيبُهُ الأَبْرَارُ حِينَئِذٍ قَائِلِينَ: يَارَبُّ، مَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ جَائِعًا فَأَطْعَمْنَاكَ، أَوْ عَطْشَانًا فَسَقَيْنَاكَ؟

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

وَمَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ غَرِيبًا فَآوَيْنَاكَ، أَوْ عُرْيَانًا فَكَسَوْنَاكَ؟

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

وَمَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ مَحْبُوسًا فَأَتَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ؟

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.

فَيُجِيبُ الْمَلِكُ وَيَقوُل لَهُمْ: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ فَعَلْتُمُوهُ بِأَحَدِ إِخْوَتِي هؤُلاَءِ الأَصَاغِرِ، فَبِي فَعَلْتُمْ.

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:

«ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَيْضًا لِلَّذِينَ عَنِ الْيَسَارِ: اذْهَبُوا عَنِّي يَا مَلاَعِينُ إِلَى النَّارِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ الْمُعَدَّةِ لإِبْلِيسَ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ،

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

لأَنِّي جُعْتُ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمُونِي. عَطِشْتُ فَلَمْ تَسْقُونِي.

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.

كُنْتُ غَرِيبًا فَلَمْ تَأْوُونِي. عُرْيَانًا فَلَمْ تَكْسُونِي. مَرِيضًا وَمَحْبُوسًا فَلَمْ تَزُورُونِي.

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?

حِينَئِذٍ يُجِيبُونَهُ هُمْ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: يَارَبُّ، مَتَى رَأَيْنَاكَ جَائِعًا أَوْ عَطْشَانًا أَوْ غَرِيبًا أَوْ عُرْيَانًا أَوْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ مَحْبُوسًا وَلَمْ نَخْدِمْكَ؟

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.

فَيُجِيبُهُمْ قِائِلاً: الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوهُ بِأَحَدِ هؤُلاَءِ الأَصَاغِرِ، فَبِي لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا.

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

فَيَمْضِي هؤُلاَءِ إِلَى عَذَابE أَبَدِيٍّ وَالأَبْرَارُ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ».
