| 1 | Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. | Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. | Allora il regno dei cieli sarà simile a dieci vergini le quali, prese le loro lampade, uscirono fuori incontro allo sposo. |
| 2 | And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. | And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. | Or cinque di loro erano avvedute e cinque stolte. |
| 3 | They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: | For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: | Le stolte, nel prendere le loro lampade, non presero con sé l'olio; |
| 4 | But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. | but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. | le avvedute, invece, insieme alle lampade, presero anche l'olio nei loro vasi. |
| 5 | While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. | Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. | Ora, siccome lo sposo tardava si assopirono tutte e si addormentarono. |
| 6 | And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. | But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. | E sulla mezzanotte si levò un grido: "Ecco, arriva lo sposo, uscitegli incontro!" |
| 7 | Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. | Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. | Allora tutte quelle vergini si destarono e prepararono le loro lampade. |
| 8 | And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. | And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. | E le stolte dissero alle avvedute: "Dateci del vostro olio, perché le nostre lampade stanno per spegnersi". |
| 9 | 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. | But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. | Ma le avvedute, rispondendo. dissero: "No, perché non basterebbe né a noi né a voi; andate piuttosto dai venditori e compratene". |
| 10 | 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. | And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. | Ora, mentre quelle andavano a comprarne, arrivò lo sposo; le vergini che erano pronte entrarono con lui per le nozze; e la porta fu chiusa. |
| 11 | Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. | Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. | Più tardi giunsero anche le altre vergini, dicendo: "Signore, signore, aprici". |
| 12 | But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. | But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. | Ma egli, rispondendo, disse: "in verità vi dico che non vi conosco" |
| 13 | Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. | Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. | Vegliate dunque, perché non sapete né il giorno, né l'ora in cui il Figlio dell'uomo verrà. |
| 14 | 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. | For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. | Inoltre il regno dei cieli è simile a un uomo che, partendo per un viaggio chiamò i suoi servi e affidò loro i suoi beni. |
| 15 | 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. | And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. | A uno diede cinque talenti, a un altro due e a un altro uno, a ciascuno secondo la sua capacità; e subito partì. |
| 16 | Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. | Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. | Ora colui che aveva ricevuto i cinque talenti, andò e trafficò con essi e ne guadagnò altri cinque. |
| 17 | And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. | In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two. | Similmente anche quello dei due ne guadagnò altri due. |
| 18 | But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. | But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord`s money. | Ma colui che ne aveva ricevuto uno andò, fece una buca in terra e nascose il denaro del suo signore. |
| 19 | After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. | Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. | Ora, dopo molto tempo, ritornò il signore di quei servi e fece i conti con loro. |
| 20 | 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. | And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. | E colui che aveva ricevuto i cinque talenti si fece avanti e ne presentò altri cinque, dicendo: "Signore, tu mi affidasti cinque talenti, ecco, con quelli ne ho guadagnati altri cinque |
| 21 | 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. | His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | E il suo signore gli disse: "Bene, buono e fedele servo; tu sei stato fedele in poca cosa, io ti costituirò sopra molte cose; entra nella gioia del tuo signore". |
| 22 | 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. | And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. | Poi venne anche colui che aveva ricevuto i due talenti e disse: "Signore, tu mi affidasti due talenti; ecco, con quelli ne ho guadagnati altri due". |
| 23 | 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. | His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. | Il suo signore gli disse: "Bene, buono e fedele servo; tu sei stato fedele in poca cosa, io ti costituirò sopra molte cose; entra nella gioia del tuo signore". |
| 24 | 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: | And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter; | Infine venne anche colui che aveva ricevuto un solo talento e disse: "Signore, io sapevo bene che tu sei un uomo aspro, che mieti dove non hai seminato e raccogli dove non hai sparso; |
| 25 | And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. | and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. | perciò ho avuto paura e sono andato a nascondere il tuo talento sotto terra; ecco te lo restituisco" |
| 26 | 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: | But 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 did not scatter; | E il suo signore rispondendo, gli disse: "Malvagio e indolente servo, tu sapevi che io mieto dove non ho seminato e raccolgo dove non ho sparso; |
| 27 | Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. | thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. | tu avresti dovuto affidare il mio denaro ai banchieri e così, al mio ritorno, l'avrei riscosso con l'interesse. |
| 28 | Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. | Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. | Toglietegli dunque il talento e datelo a colui che ha i dieci talenti. |
| 29 | 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. | For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. | Poiché a chiunque ha, sarà dato e sovrabbonderà, ma a chi non ha gli sarà tolto anche quello che ha. |
| 30 | And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. | E gettate questo servo inutile nelle tenebre di fuori. Lì sarà il pianto e lo stridor di denti. |
| 31 | 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: | But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: | Ora, quando il Figlio dell'uomo verrà nella sua gloria con tutti i santi angeli, allora si siederà sul trono della sua gloria. |
| 32 | 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: | and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; | E tutte le genti saranno radunate davanti a lui; ed egli separerà gli uni dagli altri, come il pastore separa le pecore dai capri. |
| 33 | And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. | and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. | E metterà le pecore alla sua destra e i capri alla sinistra. |
| 34 | 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: | 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: | Allora il Re dirà a coloro che saranno alla sua destra: "Venite, benedetti del Padre mio; ricevete in eredità il regno che vi è stato preparato sin dalla fondazione del mondo. |
| 35 | 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: | for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; | Poiché ebbi fame e mi deste da mangiare, ebbi sete e mi deste da bere; fui forestiero e mi accoglieste, |

O assetato e ti abbiamo dato da bere? |
| 38 | When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? | And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? | E quando ti abbiamo visto forestiero e ti abbiamo ospitato? O ignudo e ti abbiamo rivestito? |
| 39 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? | And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? | E quando ti abbiamo visto infermo, o in prigione e siamo venuti a visitarti?" |
| 40 | 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. | And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me. | E il Re, rispondendo, dirà loro: "in verità vi dico: tutte le volte che l'avete fatto ad uno di questi miei minimi fratelli, l'avete fatto a me". |
| 41 | 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: | Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: | Allora egli dirà ancora a coloro che saranno a sinistra: "Andate via da me maledetti, nel fuoco eterno che è stato preparato per il diavolo e per i suoi angeli. |
| 42 | For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: | for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; | Poiché ebbi fame e non mi deste da mangiare, ebbi sete e non mi deste da bere |
| 43 | 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. | 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. | fui forestiero e non mi accoglieste, ignudo e non mi rivestiste, infermo e in prigione e non mi visitaste". |

| 45 | 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. | Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. | Allora egli risponderà loro dicendo: "in verità vi dico: tutte le volte che non l'avete fatto a uno di questi minimi, non l'avete fatto neppure a me |
| 46 | And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. | And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. | E questi andranno nelle pene eterne e i giusti nella vita eterna, |
