PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Тогда̀ ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное десѧти́мъ дѣ́вамъ, ꙗ҆́же прїѧ́ша свѣти́льники своѧ̑ и҆ и҆зыдо́ша въ срѣ́тенїе женихꙋ̀:
1 Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἵτινες λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου.
2 пѧ́ть же бѣ̀ ѿ ни́хъ мꙋдры̀ и҆ пѧ́ть ю҆рѡ́дивы.
2 πέντε δὲ ἦσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν φρόνιμοι καὶ αἱ πέντε μωραί.
3 Ю҆рѡ́дивыѧ же, прїе́мшѧ свѣти́льники своѧ̑, не взѧ́ша съ собо́ю є҆ле́а:
3 αἵτινες μωραὶ λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν οὐκ ἔλαβον μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν ἔλαιον·
4 мꙋ̑дрыѧ же прїѧ́ша є҆ле́й въ сосꙋ́дѣхъ со свѣти̑льники свои́ми:
4 αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἔλαβον ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων αὐτῶν.
5 коснѧ́щꙋ же женихꙋ̀, воздрема́шасѧ всѧ̑ и҆ спа́хꙋ.
5 χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευδον.
6 Полꙋ́нощи же во́пль бы́сть: сѐ, жени́хъ грѧде́тъ, и҆сходи́те въ срѣ́тенїе є҆гѡ̀.
6 μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς κραυγὴ γέγονεν· ἰδοὺ ὁ νυμφίος ἔρχεται, ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ.
7 Тогда̀ воста́ша всѧ̑ дѣ̑вы ты̑ѧ и҆ ᲂу҆краси́ша свѣти́льники своѧ̑.
7 τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν.
8 Ю҆рѡ́дивыѧ же мꙋ̑дрымъ рѣ́ша: дади́те на́мъ ѿ є҆ле́а ва́шегѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ свѣти́льницы на́ши ᲂу҆гаса́ютъ.
8 αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπον· δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται.
9 Ѿвѣща́ша же мꙋ̑дрыѧ, глаго́лющѧ: є҆да̀ ка́кѡ не доста́нетъ на́мъ и҆ ва́мъ: и҆ди́те же па́че къ продаю́щымъ и҆ кꙋпи́те себѣ̀.
9 ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι λέγουσαι· μήποτε οὐκ ἀρκέσει ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε δὲ μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς.
10 И҆дꙋ́щымъ же и҆̀мъ кꙋпи́ти, прїи́де жени́хъ: и҆ готѡ́выѧ внидо́ша съ ни́мъ на бра́ки, и҆ затворє́ны бы́ша двє́ри.
10 ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι ἦλθεν ὁ νυμφίος καὶ αἱ ἕτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα.
11 Послѣди́ же прїидо́ша и҆ про́чыѧ дѣ̑вы, глаго́лющѧ: го́споди, го́споди, ѿве́рзи на́мъ.
11 ὕστερον δὲ ἔρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι λέγουσαι· κύριε κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν.
12 Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆ми́нь глаго́лю ва́мъ, не вѣ́мъ ва́съ.
12 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς.
13 Бди́те ᲂу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не вѣ́сте днѐ ни часа̀, во́ньже сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй прїи́детъ.
13 γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν ἡμέραν οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
14 Ꙗ҆́коже бо человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй ѿходѧ̀ призва̀ своѧ̑ рабы̑ и҆ предадѐ и҆̀мъ и҆мѣ́нїе своѐ:
14 Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ἀποδημῶν ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ἰδίους δούλους καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ,
15 и҆ ѻ҆́вомꙋ ᲂу҆́бѡ дадѐ пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ, ѻ҆́вомꙋ же два̀, ѻ҆́вомꙋ же є҆ди́нъ, комꙋ́ждо проти́вꙋ си́лы є҆гѡ̀: и҆ ѿи́де а҆́бїе.
15 καὶ ᾧ μὲν ἔδωκε πέντε τάλαντα, ᾧ δὲ δύο, ᾧ δὲ ἕν, ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν εὐθέως.
16 Ше́дъ же прїе́мый пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ, дѣ́ла въ ни́хъ и҆ сотворѝ дрꙋгі̑ѧ пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ:
16 πορευθεὶς δὲ ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν εἰργάσατο ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα.
17 та́кожде и҆ и҆́же два̀, приѡбрѣ́те и҆ то́й дрꙋга̑ѧ два̀:
17 ὡσαύτως καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο ἐκέρδησε καὶ αὐτὸς ἄλλα δύο.
18 прїе́мый же є҆ди́нъ, ше́дъ вкопа̀ (є҆го̀) въ зе́млю и҆ скры̀ сребро̀ господи́на своегѡ̀.
18 ὁ δὲ τὸ ἓν λαβὼν ἀπελθὼν ὤρυξεν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ ἀπέκρυψε τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ.
19 По мно́зѣ же вре́мени прїи́де господи́нъ ра̑бъ тѣ́хъ и҆ стѧза́сѧ съ ни́ми ѡ҆ словесѝ.
19 μετὰ δὲ χρόνον πολὺν ἔρχεται ὁ κύριος τῶν δούλων ἐκείνων καὶ συναίρει μετ᾽ αὐτῶν λόγον.
20 И҆ пристꙋ́пль пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ прїе́мый, принесѐ дрꙋгі̑ѧ пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ, глаго́лѧ: го́споди, пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ мѝ є҆сѝ пре́далъ: сѐ, дрꙋгі̑ѧ пѧ́ть тала̑нтъ приѡбрѣто́хъ и҆́ми.
20 καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν προσήνεγκεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα λέγων· κύριε, πέντε τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἴδε ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς.
21 Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀: до́брѣ, ра́бе благі́й и҆ вѣ́рный: ѡ҆ ма́лѣ бы́лъ є҆сѝ вѣ́ренъ, над̾ мно́гими тѧ̀ поста́влю: вни́ди въ ра́дость го́спода твоегѡ̀.
21 ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ· εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.
22 Пристꙋ́пль же и҆ и҆́же два̀ тала̑нта прїе́мый, речѐ: го́споди, два̀ тала̑нта мѝ є҆сѝ пре́далъ: сѐ, дрꙋга̑ѧ два̀ тала̑нта приѡбрѣто́хъ и҆́ма.
22 προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο τάλαντα λαβὼν εἶπε· κύριε, δύο τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἴδε ἄλλα δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς.
23 Рече́ (же) є҆мꙋ̀ госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀: до́брѣ, ра́бе благі́й и҆ вѣ́рный: ѡ҆ ма́лѣ (мѝ) бы́лъ є҆сѝ вѣ́ренъ, над̾ мно́гими тѧ̀ поста́влю: вни́ди въ ра́дость го́спода твоегѡ̀.
23 ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ· εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.
24 Пристꙋ́пль же и҆ прїе́мый є҆ди́нъ тала́нтъ, речѐ: го́споди, вѣ́дѧхъ тѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ же́стокъ є҆сѝ человѣ́къ, жне́ши, и҆дѣ́же не сѣ́ѧлъ є҆сѝ, и҆ собира́еши и҆дѣ́же не расточи́лъ є҆сѝ:
24 προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἓν τάλαντον εἰληφὼς εἶπε· κύριε· ἔγνων σε ὅτι σκληρὸς εἶ ἄνθρωπος, θερίζων ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρας καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας·
25 и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́всѧ, ше́дъ скры́хъ тала́нтъ тво́й въ землѝ: (и҆) сѐ, и҆́маши твоѐ.
25 καὶ φοβηθεὶς ἀπελθὼν ἔκρυψα τὸ τάλαντόν σου ἐν τῇ γῇ· ἴδε ἔχεις τὸ σόν.
26 Ѿвѣща́въ же госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: лꙋка́вый ра́бе и҆ лѣни́вый, вѣ́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ жнꙋ̀ и҆дѣ́же не сѣ́ѧхъ, и҆ собира́ю и҆дѣ́же не расточи́хъ:
26 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· πονηρὲ δοῦλε καὶ ὀκνηρέ! ᾔδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα!
27 подоба́ше ᲂу҆̀бо тебѣ̀ вда́ти сребро̀ моѐ торжникѡ́мъ, и҆ прише́дъ а҆́зъ взѧ́лъ бы́хъ своѐ съ ли́хвою:
27 ἔδει οὖν σε βαλεῖν τὸ ἀργύριόν μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ.
28 возми́те ᲂу҆̀бо ѿ негѡ̀ тала́нтъ и҆ дади́те и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ де́сѧть тала̑нтъ:
28 ἄρατε οὖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον καὶ δότε τῷ ἔχοντι τὰ δέκα τάλαντα.
29 и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ бо вездѣ̀ дано̀ бꙋ́детъ и҆ преизбꙋ́детъ: ѿ неимꙋ́щагѡ же, и҆ є҆́же мни́тсѧ и҆мѣ́ѧ, взѧ́то бꙋ́детъ ѿ негѡ̀:
29 τῷ γὰρ ἔχοντι παντὶ δοθήσεται καὶ περισσευθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
30 и҆ неключи́маго раба̀ вве́рзите во тьмꙋ̀ кромѣ́шнюю: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ. Сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ возгласѝ: и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
30 καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
31 Є҆гда́ же прїи́детъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй въ сла́вѣ свое́й и҆ всѝ ст҃і́и а҆́гг҃ли съ ни́мъ, тогда̀ сѧ́детъ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ сла́вы своеѧ̀,
31 Ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι ἄγγελοι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, τότε καθίσει ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ,
32 и҆ соберꙋ́тсѧ пред̾ ни́мъ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы: и҆ разлꙋчи́тъ и҆̀хъ дрꙋ́гъ ѿ дрꙋ́га, ꙗ҆́коже па́стырь разлꙋча́етъ ѻ҆́вцы ѿ ко́злищъ:
32 καὶ συναχθήσεται ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ ἀλλήλων ὥσπερ ὁ ποιμὴν ἀφορίζει τὰ πρόβατα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐρίφων,
33 и҆ поста́витъ ѻ҆́вцы ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю себє̀, а҆ кѡ́злища ѡ҆шꙋ́юю.
33 καὶ στήσει τὰ μὲν πρόβατα ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ ἐρίφια ἐξ εὐωνύμων.
34 Тогда̀ рече́тъ цр҃ь сꙋ́щымъ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю є҆гѡ̀: прїиди́те, блгⷭ҇ве́ннїи ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, наслѣ́дꙋйте ᲂу҆гото́ванное ва́мъ црⷭ҇твїе ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра:
34 τότε ἐρεῖ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ· δεῦτε οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ πατρός μου, κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.
35 взалка́хсѧ бо, и҆ да́сте мѝ ꙗ҆́сти: возжада́хсѧ, и҆ напои́сте мѧ̀: стра́ненъ бѣ́хъ, и҆ введо́сте менѐ:
35 ἐπείνασα γάρ, καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα, καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἤμην, καὶ συνηγάγετέ με,
36 на́гъ, и҆ ѡ҆дѣ́ѧсте мѧ̀: бо́ленъ, и҆ посѣти́сте менѐ: въ темни́цѣ бѣ́хъ, и҆ прїидо́сте ко мнѣ̀.
36 γυμνός, καὶ περιεβάλετέ με, ἠσθένησα, καὶ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με, ἐν φυλακῇ ἤμην, καὶ ἤλθετε πρός με.
37 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща́ютъ є҆мꙋ̀ првⷣницы, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, когда̀ тѧ̀ ви́дѣхомъ а҆́лчꙋща, и҆ напита́хомъ; и҆лѝ жа́ждꙋща, и҆ напои́хомъ;
37 τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ οἱ δίκαιοι λέγοντες· κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα καὶ ἐθρέψαμεν, ἢ διψῶντα καὶ ἐποτίσαμεν;
38 когда́ же тѧ̀ ви́дѣхомъ стра́нна, и҆ введо́хомъ; и҆лѝ на́га, и҆ ѡ҆дѣ́ѧхомъ;
38 πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ξένον καὶ συνηγάγομεν, ἢ γυμνὸν καὶ περιεβάλομεν;
39 когда́ же тѧ̀ ви́дѣхомъ болѧ́ща, и҆лѝ въ темни́цѣ, и҆ прїидо́хомъ къ тебѣ̀;
39 πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ ἤλθομεν πρός σε;
40 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ цр҃ь рече́тъ и҆̀мъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, поне́же сотвори́сте є҆ди́номꙋ си́хъ бра́тїй мои́хъ ме́ньшихъ, мнѣ̀ сотвори́сте.
40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων, ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.
41 Тогда̀ рече́тъ и҆ сꙋ́щымъ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю (є҆гѡ̀): и҆ди́те ѿ менє̀, проклѧ́тїи, во ѻ҆́гнь вѣ́чный, ᲂу҆гото́ванный дїа́волꙋ и҆ а҆́ггелѡмъ є҆гѡ̀:
41 τότε ἐρεῖ καὶ τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων· πορεύεσθε ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ οἱ κατηραμένοι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ.
42 взалка́хсѧ бо, и҆ не да́сте мѝ ꙗ҆́сти: возжада́хсѧ, и҆ не напои́сте менѐ:
42 ἐπείνασα γάρ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα, καὶ οὐκ ἐποτίσατέ με,
43 стра́ненъ бѣ́хъ, и҆ не введо́сте менѐ: на́гъ, и҆ не ѡ҆дѣ́ѧсте менѐ: бо́ленъ и҆ въ темни́цѣ, и҆ не посѣти́сте менѐ.
43 ξένος ἤμην, καὶ οὐ συνηγάγετέ με, γυμνός, καὶ οὐ περιεβάλετέ με, ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με.
44 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща́ютъ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ ті́и, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, когда̀ тѧ̀ ви́дѣхомъ а҆́лчꙋща, и҆лѝ жа́ждꙋща, и҆лѝ стра́нна, и҆лѝ на́га, и҆лѝ бо́льна, и҆лѝ въ темни́цѣ, и҆ не послꙋжи́хомъ тебѣ̀;
44 τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτοὶ λέγοντες· κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα ἢ διψῶντα ἢ ξένον ἢ γυμνὸν ἢ ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοι;
45 Тогда̀ ѿвѣща́етъ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, поне́же не сотвори́сте є҆ди́номꙋ си́хъ ме́ньшихъ, ни мнѣ̀ сотвори́сте.
45 τότε ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.
46 И҆ и҆́дꙋтъ сі́и въ мꙋ́кꙋ вѣ́чнꙋю, првⷣницы же въ живо́тъ вѣ́чный.
46 καὶ ἀπελεύσονται οὗτοι εἰς κόλασιν αἰώνιον, οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    And besides; "the eternal fire which the Father has prepared for the devil and his angels," -- they ought to show of which of those Æons that are above it is the image; for it, too, is reckoned part of the creation.

  4. Quotes verse 25:46 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XI, Chapters 11–12)

    For the truth in the gospel promises to the saints and the faithful that they will be equal to the angels of God; and it is also promised them that they will "go away into life eternal."

  5. Quotes verse 25:30 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XII)

    For it will be no longer, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return," and thou "tillest the ground," and those former words, that will be said to us; but what is far more grievous than these, the "outer darkness," the bonds that may not be burst, the venomous worm, the "gnashing of teeth;" and this with great reason.
