1	Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:	“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.	“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2	fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.	Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.	Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3	The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.	For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,	The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4	But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.	but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.	The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5	Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.	As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.	The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6	And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.	But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’	“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7	Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.	Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.	“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8	And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?	And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’	The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9	but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.	But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’	“’No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10	And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:	And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.	“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11	Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.	Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’	“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12	But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.	But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’	“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13	Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.	Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.	“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
14	Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.	“For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.	“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.
15	And vnto one he gave .v. talentes to another .ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.	To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.	To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
16	Then he that had receaved the fyve talentes went and bestowed them and wanne other fyve talentes.	He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.	The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.
17	Lykwyse he that receaved .ii. gayned other .ii.	So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.	So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
18	But he yt receaved ye one went and digged a pit in the erth and hyd his masters money.	But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money.	But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19	After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the.	Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.	“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20	Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo.	And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’	The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21	The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.	His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’	“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22	Also he that receaved .ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me .ii. talentes: beholde I have wone .ii. other talentes with them.	And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’	“The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23	And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye.	His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’	“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24	Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not	He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,	“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25	and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne.	so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’	So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26	His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:	But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?	“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
27	thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage.	Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.	Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28	Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath .x. talentes.	So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.	“’So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
29	For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.	For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.	For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
30	And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.	And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’	And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31	When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie	“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.	“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32	and before him shalbe Gaddred all nacions. And he shall seperate the one from a nother as a shepherde deuideth the shepe from the gootes.	Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.	All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33	And he shall set the shepe on his right honde and the gotes on the lyfte.	And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.	He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34	Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.	Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.	“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
35	For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me.

40	And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me.	And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’	“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
