Matthew 25

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

那时，天国好比十个童女拿著灯出去迎接新郎。

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

其中有五个是愚拙的，五个是聪明的。

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

愚拙的拿著灯，却不预备油；

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

聪明的拿著灯，又预备油在器皿里。

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

新郎迟延的时候，她们都打盹，睡著了。

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

半夜有人喊著说：新郎来了，你们出来迎接他！

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

那些童女就都起来收拾灯。

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

愚拙的对聪明的说：请分点油给我们，因为我们的灯要灭了。

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.

聪明的回答说：恐怕不够你我用的；不如你们自己到卖油的那里去买吧。

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.

他们去买的时候，新郎到了。那预备好了的，同他进去坐席，门就关了。

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

其余的童女随后也来了，说：主啊，主啊，给我们开门！

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

他却回答说：我实在告诉你们，我不认识你们。

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

所以，你们要儆醒；因为那日子，那时辰，你们不知道。

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.

天国又好比一个人要往外国去，就叫了仆人来，把他的家业交给他们，

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.

按著各人的才干给他们银子：一个给了五千，一个给了二千，一个给了一千，就往外国去了。

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

那领五千的随即拿去做买卖，另外赚了五千。

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

那领二千的也照样另赚了二千。

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

但那领一千的去掘开地，把主人的银子埋藏了。

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

过了许久，那些仆人的主人来了，和他们算帐。

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.

那领五千银子的又带著那另外的五千来，说：主啊，你交给我五千银子。请看，我又赚了五千。

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.

主人说：好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。

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.

那领二千的也来，说：主啊，你交给我二千银子。请看，我又赚了二千。

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.

主人说：好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。

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:

那领一千的也来，说：主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，

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

我就害怕，去把你的一千银子埋藏在地里。请看，你的原银子在这里。

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:

主人回答说：你这又恶又懒的仆人，你既知道我没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，

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

就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人，到我来的时候，可以连本带利收回。

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

夺过他这一千来，给那有一万的。

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.

因为凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；没有的，连他所有的也要夺过来。

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

把这无用的仆人丢在外面黑暗里；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。

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:

当人子在他荣耀里、同著众天使降临的时候，要坐在他荣耀的宝座上。

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:

万民都要聚集在他面前。他要把他们分别出来，好像牧羊的分别绵羊山羊一般，

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

把绵羊安置在右边，山羊在左边。

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:

于是王要向那右边的说：你们这蒙我父赐福的，可来承受那创世以来为你们所预备的国；

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:

因为我饿了，你们给我吃，渴了，你们给我喝；我作客旅，你们留我住；

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

我赤身露体，你们给我穿；我病了、你们看顾我；我在监里，你们来看我。

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

义人就回答说：主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，给你吃，渴了，给你喝？

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

什么时候见你作客旅，留你住，或是赤身露体，给你穿？

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

又什么时候见你病了，或是在监里，来看你呢？

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.

王要回答说：我实在告诉你们，这些事你们既做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是做在我身上了。

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:

王又要向那左边的说：你们这被咒诅的人，离开我！进入那为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去！

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

因为我饿了，你们不给我吃，渴了，你们不给我喝；

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.

我作客旅，你们不留我住；我赤身露体，你们不给我穿；我病了，我在监里，你们不来看顾我。

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?

他们也要回答说：主啊，我们什么时候见你饿了，或渴了，或作客旅，或赤身露体，或病了，或在监里，不伺候你呢？

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.

王要回答说：我实在告诉你们，这些事你们既不做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上，就是不做在我身上了。

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

这些人要往永刑里去；那些义人要往永生里去。
