As they heard
these things, |
| |
|
|
|
he proceeded
to tell a parable, |
| |
|
|
|
because he was
near to Jerusalem, |
| |
|
|
|
and because
they supposed |
| |
|
|
|
that the
kingdom of God was |
| |
|
|
|
to appear
immediately. |
| 14 |
"For
it will be |
|
12 |
He said
therefore: |
| |
as when a man going on a
journey |
|
|
"A
nobleman went into a far country |
| |
|
|
|
to receive a kingdom |
| |
|
|
|
and then return. |
| |
called
his servants |
|
13 |
Calling ten of
his servants |
| |
and entrusted to them his
property; |
|
|
|
| 15 |
to one
he gave five talents, |
|
|
he gave them ten pounds, |
| |
to another two, |
|
|
|
| |
to another one, |
|
|
|
| |
each according to his
ability. |
|
|
|
| |
Then he went away. |
|
|
and said to them: |
| 16 |
He who had received the five
talents |
|
|
|
| |
went at once |
|
|
|
| |
and traded
with them; |
|
|
' Trade
with these |
| |
|
|
|
till I come.' |
| |
and he made five talents more. |
|
|
|
| 17 |
So also, he who had the two
talents |
|
|
|
| |
made two talents more. |
|
|
|
| 18 |
But he who had received the
one talent |
|
|
|
| |
went |
|
|
|
| |
and dug in the ground |
|
|
|
| |
and hid his
master's money. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
14 |
But his citizens hated him |
| |
|
|
|
and sent an embassy after him, |
| |
|
|
|
saying: |
| |
|
|
|
' We do not want this man |
| |
|
|
|
to reign over us.' |
| 19 |
Now, after a long time, |
|
|
|
| |
the master |
|
15 |
When he returned, |
| |
|
|
|
having received the kingdom, |
| |
of those servants
came |
|
|
he commanded these
servants |
| |
|
|
|
to whom he had given the
money, |
| |
|
|
|
to be called to him, |
| |
|
|
|
that he might know |
| |
and settled accounts with
them. |
|
|
what they had gained by
trading. |
| 20 |
And he who had received the
five talents |
|
16 |
The first |
| |
came
forward |
|
|
came
before
him, |
| |
bringing five talents more, |
|
|
|
| |
saying: |
|
|
saying: |
| |
'<Lord>, |
|
|
'
Lord, |
| |
you delivered to me five
talents; |
|
|
your pound |
| |
here, I have
made
five talents more.' |
|
|
has
made ten pounds
more.' |
| 21 |
His master
said
to him: |
|
17 |
And he said
to him: |
| |
' Well
done, good and faithful servant! |
|
|
' Well
done, good servant! |
| |
You have been
faithful |
|
|
Because
you have been faithful |
| |
over
a little, |
|
|
over
very little, |
| |
I will set you |
|
|
you shall have authority
|
| |
over
much; |
|
|
over ten cities.' |
| |
enter into the joy of your
master.' |
|
|
|
| 22 |
And he also who had the two
talents |
|
18 |
And the second |
| |
came
forward |
|
|
came, |
| |
saying: |
|
|
saying: |
| |
'<Lord>, |
|
|
' Lord, |
| |
you delivered to me two
talents; |
|
|
your pound |
| |
here, I have
made
two talents more.' |
|
|
has
made five pounds.' |
| 23 |
His master
said
to him: |
|
19 |
And he said
to him: |
| |
' Well
done, good and faithful servant! |
|
|
|
| |
You have been
faithful |
|
|
|
| |
over a little, |
|
|
|
| |
I will set you
over
much; |
|
|
'And you are to be
over five cities.' |
| |
enter into the joy of your
master.' |
|
|
|
| 24 |
He also who had received the
one talent |
|
20 |
Then another |
| |
came
forward |
|
|
came, |
| |
saying: |
|
|
saying: |
| |
'<Lord,> |
|
|
' Lord, |
| |
|
|
|
here is your pound |
| |
|
|
|
which I kept laid away in a
napkin; |
| |
I knew |
|
21 |
for I
was afraid* of you, |
| |
you
to
be a hard man, |
|
|
because
you are
a severe
man; |
| |
|
|
|
you take up
|
| |
|
|
|
what
you
did not* lay down |
| |
reaping
where you did not sow |
|
|
and
reap what
you did not sow.' |
| |
and gathering
|
|
|
|
| |
where
you
did not* winnow; |
|
|
|
| 25 |
so I was
afraid,* |
|
|
|
| |
and I went |
|
|
|
| |
and hid your talent in the
ground. |
|
|
|
| |
Here, you have what is yours.' |
|
|
|
| 26 |
But his master answered
him: |
|
22 |
He
<says> to
him: |
| |
|
|
|
' I will condemn you |
| |
|
|
|
out of
your own mouth, |
| |
'You wicked
and
slothful servant! |
|
|
you wicked
servant! |
| |
You knew that |
|
|
You knew that |
| |
|
|
|
I was a severe
man |
| |
|
|
|
taking up what
I did not* lay down |
| |
I
reap where
I have
not sowed, |
|
|
and
reaping what
I did not
sow? |
| |
and gather
|
|
|
|
| |
where
I
have not* winnowed? |
|
|
|
| 27 |
Then you
ought to have invested |
|
22 |
Why
then did
you not put |
| |
my
money |
|
|
my
money |
| |
with
the bankers, |
|
|
into
the bank |
| |
and at my
coming |
|
|
and at my
coming |
| |
I should have
received
my own |
|
|
I should have
collected
it |
| |
with interest.' |
|
|
with interest?' |
| |
|
|
24 |
And he said to those who stood
by: |
| 28 |
So
take the talent
from him |
|
|
' Take
the pound
from him |
| |
and give it to
him |
|
|
and give it to
him |
| |
who has the ten talents.' |
|
|
who has the ten pounds.' |
| |
|
|
25 |
And they said to him: |
| |
|
|
|
' Lord, he has ten
pounds!' |
| |
|
|
26 |
'I tell you that |
| 29 |
For to everyone who has
it will be given |
|
|
to everyone who has
it will be given |
| |
and he will have abundance; |
|
|
|
| |
but from him who has
not, |
|
|
but from him who has
not, |
| |
even what he has will be taken away. |
|
|
even what he
has will be taken away. |
| 30 |
And cast the worthless servant |
|
|
|
| |
into the outer darkness; |
|
|
|
| |
there men will weep |
|
|
|
| |
and gnash their teeth.' " |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
26 |
But as for those enemies of
mine, |
| |
|
|
|
who did not want me |
| |
|
|
|
to reign
over them, |
| |
|
|
|
bring them here |
| |
|
|
|
and slay them before me.'
