25 — Matthew

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.Allora sarà simile il regno de' cieli a dieci vergini, le quali avendo prese le loro lampane, andarono in contro allo sposo, e alla sposa.THEN shàl the kingdom of heauen be like to ten • virgins: vvhich taking their • lampes vvent forth to meete the bridegrome and the bride.Tunc simile erit regnum cælorum decem virginibus: quæ accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsæ. 2And five of them were foolish and five wise.Ma cinque di esse erano stolte, e cinque prudenti.And fiue of them vvere foolish, and fiue vvise.Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuæ, et quinque prudentes: 3But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them.Or le cinque stolte, prese avendo le loro lampane, non portaron seco dell'olio:but the fiue foolish, hauing taken their lampes, did not take oil vvith them:sed quinque fatuæ, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.Le prudenti poi insieme colle lampane presero dell'olio ne' vasi loro.but the vvise did take oile in their vessels vvith the lampes.prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. 5And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.E tardando lo sposo, assonnarono tutte, e si addormentarono.And the bridegrom • tarying long, they slumbered all the slept.Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. 6And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him.E a mezzanotte levossi un grido: Ecco lo sposo viene, andategli incontro.And at midnight there vvas a clamour made, Behold the bridegrome cometh, goe ye forth to meete him.Media autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. 7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.Allora si alzarono tutte quelle vergini, e misero in ordine le loro lampane.Then arose al those virgins: and they trimmed their lampes.Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illæ, et ornaverunt lampades suas. 8And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.Ma le stolte dissero alle prudenti: Dateci del vostro olio, perché le nostre lampane si spengono.And the foolish said to the vvise, Giue vs of your oile: because our lampes are going out.Fatuæ autem sapientibus dixerunt: Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostræ extinguuntur. 9The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.Risposero le prudenti, e dissero: Perché non ne manchi a voi, e a noi, andate piuttosto da chi ne vende, e compratevene.The vvise ansvvered, saying, Lest peraduenture there suffise not for vs and you, goe rather to them that sel: and bie for your selues.Responderunt prudentes, dicentes: Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis.

10Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut.Ma in quello, che andavano a comperarne, arrivò lo sposo; e quelle, che erano preparate, entraron con lui alle nozze, e fu chiusa la porta.And vvhiles they vvent to bie, the bridegrome vvas come: and they that vvere ready, entred vvith him to the mariage, and the gate vvas shut.Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus: et quæ paratæ erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. 11But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.All'ultimo vennero anche le altre vergini, dicendo: Signore, Signore, aprici.But last of al come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to vs.Novissime vero veniunt et reliquæ virgines, dicentes: Domine, domine, aperi nobis. 12But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.Ma egli rispose, e disse: In verità, vi dico, non so, chi siate.But he ansvvering said, Amen I say to you, I knovv you not.At ille respondens, ait: Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. 13Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.Vegliate adunque, perché non sapete il giorno, né l'ora.Watch ye therfore, because you knovv not the day nor the houre.Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam. 14For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods;Imperocché (la cosa è) come quando un uomo partendo per lontan paese, chiamò i suoi servi, e mise il suo nelle loro mani:For euen as a man going into a strange countrie, called his seruants, and deliuered them his goods.Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. 15And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.E dette all'uno cinque talenti, e all'altro due, e uno ad un altro, a ognuno a proporzione della sua capacità, e immediatamente si partì.And to one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other tvvo, and to an other one, to euery one according to his propre facultie: and immediatly he tooke his iourney.Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem: et profectus est statim. 16And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five.Andò adunque quegli, che aveva ricevuti cinque talenti, e li trafficò, e ne guadagnò altri cinque.And he that had receiued the fiue talents, vvent his vvay, and occupied vvith the same, and gained other fiue.Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque.

17And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two.Medesimamente colui, che ne aveva ricevuti due, ne guadagnò altri due.Likevvise also he that had receiued the tvvo, gained other tvvo.Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo. 18But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord’s money.Ma colui, che ne aveva ricevuto uno, andò, e fece una buca nella terra, e nascose il danaro del suo padrone.But he that had receiued the one, going his vvay digged into the earth, and hid his lords money.Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui. 19But after a long time the lord of those servants came and reckoned with them.Dopo lungo spazio di tempo ritornò il padrone di que' servi, e chiamogli ai conti.But after much time the lord of those seruants commeth, and made a count vvith them.Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis. 20And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above.E venuto colui, che avea ricevuto cinque talenti, gliene presentò altri cinque, dicendo: Signore, tu mi hai dato cinque talenti, eccone cinque di più, che ho guadagnati.And there came he that had receiued the fiue talents, and offred other fiue talents, saying, Lord fiue talents thou didst deliuer me, behold I haue gained other fiue besides.Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens: Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum. 21His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Gli rispose il padrone: Bene sta, servo buono, e fedele, perché nel poco se' stato fedele, ti farò padrone del molto: entra nel gaudio del tuo signore.His lord said vnto him: wel fare thee good and faithful seruant, because thou hast been faithful ouer a fevv things, I vvil place thee ouer many things: enter into the ioy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui. 22And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two.Si presentò poi anche l'altro, che avea ricevuto i due talenti e disse: Signore, tu mi desti due talenti, ecco che io ne ho guadagnati due altri.And there came also he that had receiued the tvvo talents, and said, Lord tvvo talents thou didst deliuer me: behold I haue gained other tvvo.Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait: Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum.

23His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Dissegli il padrone: Bene sta, servo buono, e fedele, perché se' stato fedele nel poco, ti farò padrone del molto: entra nel gaudio del tuo signore.His lord said to him, wel fare thee good and faithful seruant: because thou hast been faithful ouer a fevv things, I vvil place thee ouer many things, enter into the ioy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus: Euge serve bone, et fidelis: quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui. 24But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.Presentatosi poi anche colui, che aveva ricevuto un talento, disse: Signore, so, che sei uomo austero: che mieti, dove non hai seminato, e raccogli, dove non hai sparso nulla:And he also that had receiued the one talent, came forth, and said, Lord, I knovv that thou art a hard man, thou reapest vvhere thou didst not sovv: and gatherest vvhere thou stravvedst not:Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait: Domine, scio quia homo durus es; metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti: 25And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine.E timoroso andai a nascondere il tuo talento sotto terra: Eccoti il tuo.and being afraid I vvent, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold loe here thou hast that vvhich thine is.et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra: ecce habes quod tuum est. 26And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed.Ma il padrone rispose, e dissegli: Servo malvagio, e infingardo, tu sapevi, che io mieto, dove non ho seminato, e ricolgo, dove non ho sparso.And his lord ansvvering, said to him: Naughtie and sloughtful seruant, thou didst knovv that I reape vvhere I sovv not, & gather vvhere I stravved not:Respondens autem dominus ejus, dixit ei: Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi: 27Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.Dovevi adunque dare il mio denaro ai banchieri, e al mio ritorno avrei ritirato il mio con l'interesse.thou oughtest therfore to haue committed my money to the bankers, and comming I might haue receiued mine ovvne • vvith vsurie.oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura.

28Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that hath ten talents.Toglietegli adunque il talento, che ha e datelo a colui, che ha dieci talenti.Take ye avvay therfore the talent from him, and giue it him that hath ten talents.Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei qui habet decem talenta: 29For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.Imperocché a chi ha, sarà dato, e troverassi nell'abbondanza: ma a chi non ha, sarà tolto anche quello, che sembra avere.For to euery one that hath shal be giuen, and he shal abound: but from him that hath not, that also vvhich • he seemeth to haue, shal be taken avvay from him.omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ei autem qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo. 30And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.E il servo inutile gittatelo nelle tenebre esteriori: ivi sarà pianto, e stridore di denti.And the vnprofitable seruant cast ye out into the vtter darknesse. There shal be vveeping and gnashing of teeth.Et inutilem servum ejicite in tenebras exteriores: illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 31And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.Quando poi verrà il Figliuolo dell'uomo nella sua maestà, e con lui tutti gli Angeli, allora sederà sopra il trono della sua maestà:And vvhen the sonne of man shal come in his maiestie, and al the Angels vvith him, then shal he sitte vpon the seate of his maiestie:Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in majestate sua, et omnes angeli cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem majestatis suæ: 32And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:E si raduneranno dinanzi a lui tutte le nazioni, ed egli separerà gli uni dagli altri, come il pastore separa le pecorelle dai capretti:and al nations shal be gathered together before him, and he shal • separate them one from an other, as the pastor separateth the sheepe from the goates:et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hædis: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.E metterà le pecorelle alla sua destra, e i capretti alla sinistra.and shal set the sheepe at his right hand, but the goates at his left.et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinistris.

34Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.Allora il Re dirà a quelli, che saranno alla sua destra: Venite, bene detti dal Padre mio, prendete possesso del regno preparato a voi sin dalla fondazione del mondo.Then shal the king say to them that shal be at his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father, possesse you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the vvorld.Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi: 35For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:Imperocché ebbi fame, e mi deste da mangiare: ebbi sete, e mi deste da bere: fui pellegrino, e mi ricettaste:for I vvas an hungred, and • you gaue me to eate: I vvas a thirst, and you gaue me to drinke.esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere: hospes eram, et collegistis me: 36Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.Ignudo, e mi rivestiste: ammalato e mi visitaste: carcerato, e veniste da me.I vvas a stranger, and you tooke me in: naked, and you couered me: sicke, and you visited me. I vvas in prison, and you came to me.nudus, et cooperuistis me: infirmus, et visitastis me: in carcere eram, et venistis ad me. 37Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?Allora gli risponderanno i giusti: Signore, quando mai ti abbiamo veduta affamato, e ti abbiam dato da mangiare: assetato, e ti demmo da bere?Then shal the iust ansvver him, saying: Lord, vvhen did vve see thee an hungred, and fed thee: a thirst, and gaue thee drinke?Tunc respondebunt ei justi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te: sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum ? 38Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee?Quando ti abbiamo veduto pellegrino, e ti abbiamo ricettato: ignudo, e ti abbiam rivestito?and vvhen did vve see thee a stranger, and tooke thee in? or naked, and couered thee?quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te: aut nudum, et cooperuimus te ? 39Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?Ovvero quando ti abbiam veduto ammalato, o carcerato, e venimmo a visitarti?or vvhen did vve see thee sicke or in prison: and came to thee?aut quando te vidimus infirmum, aut in carcere, et venimus ad te ? 40And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.E il re risponderà, e dirà loro: In verità vi dico: Ogni volta che avete fatto qualche cosa per uno de' più piccoli di questi miei fratelli, l'avete fatta a me.And the king ansvvering, shall say to them, Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.Et respondens rex, dicet illis: Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis.

41Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.Allora dirà anche a coloro, che saranno alla sinistra: Via da me, maladetti, al fuoco eterno, che fu preparato pel Diavolo, e pe' suoi Angeli.Then he shal say to them also that shal be at his left hand, • Get ye avvay from me you cursed into fire euerlasting, vvhich vvas prepared for the Deuil and his angels.Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem æternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis ejus: 42For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink.Imperocché ebbi fame, e non mi deste da mangiare: ebbi sete, e non mi deste da bere:for I vvas an hungred, and you • gaue me not to eate: I vvas a thirst, and you gaue me not to drinke.esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et non desistis mihi potum: 43I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.Era pellegrino, e non mi ricettaste, ignudo, e non mi rivestiste: ammalato, e carcerato, e non mi visitaste.I was a stranger, and you tooke me not in: naked, and you couered me not: sicke, and in prison, and you did not visite me.hospes eram, et non collegistis me: nudus, et non cooperuistis me: infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me. 44Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee?Allora gli risponderanno anche questi: Signore, quando mai ti abbiam veduto affamato, o sitibondo, o pellegrino, o ignudo, o ammalato, o carcerato, e non ti abbiamo assistito?Then they also shall ansvver him, saying, Lord, vvhen did vve see thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison: and did not minister to thee?Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes: Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi ? 45Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.Allora risponderà ad essi con dire: In verità vi dico: Ogni volta che non mi avete ciò fatto per uno di questi piccoli, non lo avete fatto nemmeno a me.Then he shal ansvver them, saying, Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these lesser, neither did you it to me.Tunc respondebit illis, dicens: Amen dico vobis: Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis.

46And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.E anderanno questi all'eterno supplizio: i giusti poi alla vita eterna.And these shal goe into punishment euerlasting: but the iust, into life euerlasting.Et ibunt hi in supplicium æternum: justi autem in vitam æternam.
