Matthew 25 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Mat 25:1

Mat 25:1"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Mat 25:2

Mat 25:2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

Mat 25:3

Mat 25:3Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

Mat 25:4

Mat 25:4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Mat 25:5

Mat 25:5Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

Mat 25:6

Mat 25:6But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'

Mat 25:7

Mat 25:7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Mat 25:8

Mat 25:8The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

Mat 25:9

Mat 25:9But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'

Mat 25:10

Mat 25:10While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

Mat 25:11

Mat 25:11Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'

Mat 25:12

Mat 25:12But he answered, 'Most assuredly I tell you, I don't know you.'

Mat 25:13

Mat 25:13Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Parable of the Talents

(Luk 19:11–27 )

Mat 25:14

Mat 25:14"For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

Mat 25:15

Mat 25:15To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.

Mat 25:16

Mat 25:16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

Mat 25:17

Mat 25:17In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.

Mat 25:18

Mat 25:18But he who received the one went away and dug in the eretz, and hid his lord's money.

Mat 25:19

Mat 25:19"Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.

Mat 25:20

Mat 25:20He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'

Mat 25:21

Mat 25:21"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

Mat 25:22

Mat 25:22"He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'

Mat 25:23

Mat 25:23"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

Mat 25:24

Mat 25:24"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

Mat 25:25

Mat 25:25I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the eretz. Behold, you have what is yours.'

Mat 25:26

Mat 25:26"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where I didn't scatter.

Mat 25:27

Mat 25:27You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.

Mat 25:28

Mat 25:28Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

Mat 25:29

Mat 25:29For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away.

Mat 25:30

Mat 25:30Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

The Judgment

Mat 25:31

Mat 25:31"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

Mat 25:32

Mat 25:32Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Mat 25:33

Mat 25:33He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Mat 25:34

Mat 25:34Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

Mat 25:35

Mat 25:35for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

Mat 25:36

Mat 25:36naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'

Mat 25:37

Mat 25:37"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

Mat 25:38

Mat 25:38When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

Mat 25:39

Mat 25:39When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

Mat 25:40

Mat 25:40"The King will answer them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

Mat 25:41

Mat 25:41Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

Mat 25:42

Mat 25:42for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

Mat 25:43

Mat 25:43I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

Mat 25:44

Mat 25:44"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

Mat 25:45

Mat 25:45"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'

Mat 25:46

Mat 25:46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
