14 Like for a man going abroad called the own slaves, and delivered to them the goods of him.
15 and to him indeed he gave five talents, to him and two, to him and one; to each according to the own power; and went abroad immediately.
16 Going and he the five talents having received, traded with them, and made other five talents.
17 Likewise also he the two, gained also he other two.
18 He but the one having received having retired digged in the earth, and hid the silver of the lord of him.
19 After but time much comes the lord of the slaves those, and adjusts with them an account.
20 And coming he the five talents having received, brought other five talents, saying: O lord, five talents to me thou delivered; see, other five talents I gained upon them.
21 Said to him the lord of him: Well, O slave good and faithful; over a few (things) thou wast faithful, over many thee I will place; enter into the joy of the lord of thee.
22 Coming and also he the two talents having received, said: O lord, two talents to me thou deliveredst; lo, other two talents I gained upon them;
23 Said to him the lord of him: Well, O slave good and faithful; over a few (things) thou wast faithful, over many thee I will place; enter into the joy of the lord of thee.
24 Coming and also he the one talent having taken, said: O lord, I knew thee, that hard thou art a man, reaping where not thou sowed, and gathering whence not thou scatteredst;
25 and being afraid, going away I hid the talent of thee in the earth; lo, thou hast the thine.
26 Answering and the lord of him said to him: O wicked slave and slothful, didst thou know, that I reap where not I sowed, and gather whence not I scattered?
27 It behooved then thee cast the silver of me to the bankers; and coming I might have received the mine with interest.
28 Take you therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents.
29 To the for having all shall be given, and he shall abound; from but the not having, even what he has, shall be taken away from him.
30 And the useless slave cast you into the darkness the outer; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
