The New Messianic Version of the Bible 1Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: "The Kingdom of heaven is like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet a bridegroom and a bride".
2"Five of them were lazy fools and five of them were alert and wise".
3"The five foolish brought their lamps, but they brought no oil with them".
4"The wise brought oil in their vessels with their lamps".
5"The bridegroom was late and behold all of them lingered and slept".
6"It came to pass at midnight that behold a voice was heard: 'Behold the bridegroom is coming; come to meet him'".
7"Then all those virgins came and trimmed their lamps".
8"The foolish virgins said to the wise: 'Give us some of your oil because our lamps have gone out'".
9"The wise answered saying: 'Go now to those who sell and buy for yourselves because there is not enough oil for us and you. We fear that it will be lacking for you'".
10"It came to pass when they went to buy, the Bridegroom came; those who were ready went with him into the marriage ceremony and the gate was closed".
11"Afterwards, the foolish came and called at the gate saying: 'Our Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] open for us'".
12"He answered them: 'Truly I say to you, I do not know who you are'".
13"Be careful, therefore, because you do not know the day nor the hour when the Bridegroom will come". 14Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] told his disciples another example: "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man going on a far journey; he called his servants and dispersed to them his money". 15"To one he gave five coins of gold, to the second he gave two coins of gold and to the third one, to each he gave according to what was suitable for him. Then he went on his journey". 16"The one who received five coins of gold went and gained five others". 17"Likewise the one who received two, went and gained two others". 18"But he who received the one went, dug in the earth, and hid the money of his Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]". 19"After many days the Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] of those servants came and sought from them an accounting of the money". 20"The one who received five coins of gold came near and said to him: My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], you gave me five coins of gold and behold, for you, are five others which I have gained". 21"His Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] said to him: 'Truly you are a good and faithful slave. Because you have been faithful in a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into the joy of your Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]'". 22"Also the one who received two coins of gold drew near and said: 'My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], you gave me two coins of gold; here are two others which I have gained'". 23"His Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] said to him: 'Truly you are a good and faithful slave. Because you have been faithful in a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into the joy of your Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]'". 24"Then he who had received the one drew near and said: 'My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], I know that you are firm and hard and that you reap what you did not sow and gather what you did not gather'. 25'So in fear of you I went and hid your coin of gold and behold you have what is yours'". 26"His Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] answered and said: 'Wicked and lazy slave, since you know that I reap what I did not sow and gather what I did not scatter', 27'therefore, you should have given my wealth to my money-changers so that at my coming I would have received what is mine with profit'". 28"Therefore, take from him the coin of gold and give it to the one who gained five coins of gold". 29"To the one who has it will be given, but to the one who does not have that which was intended for him will be taken from him". 30"As for the lazy slave, cast him into the darkness of the lowest places, in that place shall be for him weeping and gnashing of teeth". 31Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: "When the Son of Man comes in his revelation with his angels, then he will sit upon the throne of his glory". 32"All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them as the shepherd separates the sheep and the goats". 33"He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left". 34"Then he will say to those on his right: 'Enter Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) of my Father and inherit for yourselves the Kingdom of heaven prepared for you from the creation of the world until now'". 35"Because I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me to drink, I was a wayfarer and you took me in", 36"naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me". 37"Then the righteous will answer: 'O our Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], when did we see you hungry and satisfied you, thirsty and gave you to drink'", 38'a wayfarer and took you in, naked and clothed you', 39'sick and visited you, in prison and came to you?' 40"The King will answer and say to them: 'Truly I say to you that every time you did it to one of the needy of these my brethren, even the little ones like these, you did it to me'". 41"Also he will say to those on his left: 'Depart from me you cursed, and go into the everlasting fire, to the place prepared for you, with Satan [the adversary] and his angels'", 42"because I was hungry and you did not give me to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink", 43"I was a wayfarer and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me". 44"Then they also will answer and say to him: 'When did we see you O our Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], hungry, thirsty or a wayfarer, naked, sick, or in prison and were not with you serving you?'" 45"He will answer them and say: 'I say to you whenever you did not do this to one of these needy; even the little ones like these; you did not do it to me'". 46"Then these will go into everlasting abhorrence but the righteous into everlasting life".
