| 1 | Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. | Alors le Royaume des cieux sera semblable à dix vierges qui ayant pris leurs lampes, s'en allèrent au-devant de l'époux. | Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. |
| 2 | And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. | Or il y en avait cinq sages, et cinq folles. | And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. |
| 3 | They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: | Les folles, en prenant leurs lampes, n'avaient point pris d'huile avec elles. | For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: |
| 4 | But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. | Mais les sages avaient pris de l'huile dans leurs vaisseaux avec leurs lampes. | but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. |
| 5 | While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. | Et comme l'époux tardait à venir, elles sommeillèrent toutes, et s'endormirent. | Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. |
| 6 | And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. | Or à minuit il se fit un cri, disant: voici, l'époux vient, sortez au-devant de lui. | But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. |
| 7 | Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. | Alors toutes ces vierges se levèrent, et préparèrent leurs lampes. | Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. |
| 8 | And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. | Et les folles dirent aux sages: donnez-nous de votre huile, car nos lampes s'éteignent. | And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. |
| 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. | Mais les sages répondirent, en disant: Nous ne pouvons vous en donner, de peur que nous n'en ayons pas assez pour nous et pour vous; mais plutôt allez vers ceux qui en vendent, et en achetez pour vous-mêmes. | 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. |
| 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. | Or pendant qu'elles en allaient acheter, l'époux vint; et celles qui étaient prêtes entrèrent avec lui dans la salle des noces, puis la porte fut fermée. | 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. |
| 11 | Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. | Après cela les autres vierges vinrent aussi, et dirent: Seigneur! Seigneur! ouvre-nous! | Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. |
| 12 | But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. | Mais il leur répondit, et dit: en vérité je ne vous connais point. | But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. |
| 13 | Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. | Veillez donc; car vous ne savez ni le jour ni l'heure en laquelle le Fils de l'homme viendra. | Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. |
| 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. | Car il en est de lui comme d'un homme qui s'en allant dehors, appela ses serviteurs, et leur commit ses biens. | For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. |
| 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. | Et il donna à l'un cinq talents, et à l'autre deux, et à un autre un; à chacun selon sa portée; et aussitôt après il partit. | 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. |
| 16 | Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. | Or celui qui avait reçu les cinq talents, s'en alla, et en trafiqua, et gagna cinq autres talents. | Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. |
| 17 | And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. | De même celui qui avait reçu les deux talents, en gagna aussi deux autres. | In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two. |
| 18 | But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. | Mais celui qui n'en avait reçu qu'un, s'en alla, et l'enfouit dans la terre, et cacha l'argent de son maître. | But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord`s money. |
| 19 | After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. | Or longtemps après le maître de ces serviteurs vint, et fit compte avec eux. | Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. |
| 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. | Alors celui qui avait reçu les cinq talents, vint, et présenta cinq autres talents, en disant: Seigneur, tu m'as confié cinq talents, voici, j'en ai gagné cinq autres par-dessus. | 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. |
| 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. | Et son Seigneur lui dit: cela va bien, bon et fidèle serviteur; tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, je t'établirai sur beaucoup; viens participer à la joie de ton Seigneur. | 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. |
| 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. | Ensuite celui qui avait reçu les deux talents, vint, et dit: Seigneur, tu m'as confié deux talents; voici, j'en ai gagné deux autres par-dessus. | 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. |
| 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. | Et son seigneur lui dit: cela va bien, bon et fidèle serviteur, tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, je t'établirai sur beaucoup: viens prendre part à la joie de ton Seigneur. | 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. |
| 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: | Mais celui qui n'avait reçu qu'un talent, vint, et dit: Seigneur, je savais que tu es un homme dur, qui moissonnes où tu n'as point semé; et qui amasses où tu n'as point répandu. | 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; |
| 25 | And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. | C'est pourquoi craignant de perdre ton talent, je suis allé le cacher dans la terre; voici, tu as ici ce qui t'appartient. | and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. |
| 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: | Et son Seigneur répondant, lui dit: méchant et lâche serviteur, tu savais que je moissonnais où je n'ai point semé, et que j'amassais où je n'ai point répandu. | 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; |
| 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. | Il fallait donc que tu donnasses mon argent aux banquiers, et à mon retour je l'aurais reçu avec l'intérêt. | thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. |
| 28 | Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. | Ôtez-lui donc le talent, et donnez-le à celui qui a les dix talents. | Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. |
| 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. | Car à chacun qui a, il sera donné, et il en aura encore plus, mais à celui qui n'a rien, cela même qu'il a, lui sera ôté. | 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. |
| 30 | And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | Jetez donc le serviteur inutile dans les ténèbres de dehors; là il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents. | And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. |
| 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: | Or quand le Fils de l'homme viendra environné de sa gloire et accompagné de tous les saints Anges, alors il s'assiéra sur le trône de sa gloire. | 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: |
| 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: | Et toutes les nations seront assemblées devant lui; et il séparera les uns d'avec les autres, comme le berger sépare les brebis d'avec les boucs. | 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; |
| 33 | And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. | Et il mettra les brebis à sa droite, et les boucs à sa gauche. | and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. |
| 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: | Alors le Roi dira à ceux qui seront à sa droite: venez les bénis de mon Père, possédez en héritage le Royaume qui vous a été préparé dès la fondation du monde. | 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: |
| 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: | Car j'ai eu faim, et vous m'avez donné à manger; j'ai eu soif, et vous m'avez donné à boire; j'étais étranger, et vous m'avez recueilli; | 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; |
| 36 | Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. | J'étais nu, et vous m'avez vêtu; j'étais malade, et vous m'avez visité; j'étais en prison, et vous êtes venus vers moi. | naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. |
| 37 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? | Alors les justes lui répondront, en disant: Seigneur, quand est-ce que nous t'avons vu avoir faim, et que nous t'avons donné à manger; ou avoir soif, et que nous t'avons donné à boire? | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? |
| 38 | When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? | Et quand est-ce que nous t'avons vu étranger, et que nous t'avons recueilli; ou nu, et que nous t'avons vêtu? | And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? |
| 39 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? | Ou quand est-ce que nous t'avons vu malade, ou en prison, et que nous sommes venus vers toi? | And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
| 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. | Et le Roi répondant, leur dira: en vérité je vous dis, qu'en tant que vous avez fait ces choses à l'un de ces plus petits de mes frères, vous me l'avez fait à moi-même. | 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. |
| 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: | Alors il dira aussi à ceux qui seront à sa gauche: Maudits retirez-vous de moi, et allez au feu éternel, qui est préparé au diable et à ses anges. | 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: |
| 42 | For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: | Car j'ai eu faim, et vous ne m'avez point donné à manger; j'ai eu soif et vous ne m'avez point donné à boire; | for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; |
| 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. | J'étais étranger, et vous ne m'avez point recueilli; j'ai été nu, et vous ne m'avez point vêtu; j'ai été malade et en prison, et vous ne m'avez point visité. | 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. |
| 44 | 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? | Alors ceux-là aussi lui répondront, en disant: Seigneur, quand est-ce que nous t'avons vu avoir faim, ou avoir soif, ou être étranger, ou nu, ou malade, ou en prison, et que nous ne t'avons point secouru? | Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? |
| 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. | Alors il leur répondra, en disant: en vérité je vous dis, que parce que vous n'avez point fait ces choses à l'un de ces plus petits, vous ne me l'avez point fait aussi. | 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. |
| 46 | And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. | Et ceux-ci s'en iront aux peines éternelles; mais les justes iront jouir de la vie éternelle. | And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. |
