《马太福音》25:14–30
Matthew 25:14–30
14 天国又好比一个人要往外国去，就叫了仆人来，把他的家业交给他们，
“Again, the kingdom of heaven will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.
15 按着各人的才干，一个给了五千，一个给了二千，一个给了一千，就往外国去了。
To one he gave five thousand, to another two thousand, and to another one thousand, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 那领五千的随即拿去做买卖，另外赚了五千。
The one who had received five thousand immediately went and put his money to work and gained another five thousand.
17 那领二千的也照样另赚了二千。
Likewise, the one who had received two thousand gained another two thousand.
18 但那领一千的去掘开地，把主人的银子埋藏了。
But the one who had received one thousand went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 过了许久，那些仆人的主人来了，和他们算账。
After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20 那领五千银子的又带着那另外的五千来，说：“主啊，你交给我五千银子，请看，我又赚了五千。”
The one who had received five thousand came and brought the other five thousand. “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with five thousand silver coins. See, I have gained another five thousand.”
21 主人说：“好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。”
“Well done, good and faithful servant!” his master replied. “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 那领二千的也来，说：“主啊，你交给我二千银子，请看，我又赚了二千。”
The one who had received two thousand also came. “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with two thousand silver coins. See, I have gained another two thousand.”
23 主人说：“好，你这又良善又忠心的仆人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把许多事派你管理；可以进来享受你主人的快乐。”
“Well done, good and faithful servant!” his master replied. “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 那领一千的也来，说：“主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，
Then the one who had received one thousand also 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 我就害怕，去把你的一千银子埋藏在地里。请看，你的原银子在这里。”
So I was afraid and went out and hid your thousand silver coins in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.”
26 主人回答说：“你这又恶又懒的仆人，你既知道我没有种的地方要收割，没有散的地方要聚敛，
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 就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人，到我来的时候，可以连本带利收回。
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 夺过他这一千来，给那有一万的。
So take the thousand silver coins from him and give it to the one who has ten thousand.
29 因为凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；没有的，连他所有的也要夺过来。
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 把这无用的仆人丢在外面黑暗里，在那里必要哀哭切齿了。”
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
