Lamsa(i)
19 After a long time, the lord of those servants returned, and took an accounting from them.
20 Then the one who received five talents came up, and offered five others, and he said, My lord, you gave me five talents; behold, I have gained five others to them.
21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and reliable servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into your masterÆs joy.
22 Then the one with the two talents came and he said, My lord, you gave me two talents, behold I have gained two others to them.
23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and reliable servant, you have been faithful over a little, I will appoint you over much; enter into your masterÆs joy.
24 Then the one who received one talent also came up, and he said, My lord, I knew that you are a hard man, and you reap where you did not sow, and gather where you did not scatter.
25 So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground; here it is, it is your own one.
26 His lord answered and said to him, O wicked and lazy servant, you knew me that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather where I did not scatter.
27 You should then have put my money in the exchange, and when I returned I would have demanded my own with interest.
28 Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has ten talents.
29 For to him who has, it shall he given, and it shall increase to him; but he who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
30 And the idle servant they threw into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
