路加福音 19:16
- 17
"The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.'
" 'Well done, my good servant!' his master replied. 'Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.'
頭一個上來，說：『主啊，你的一錠銀子已經賺了十錠。』
主人說：『好！良善的僕人，你既在最小的事上有忠心，可以有權柄管十座城。』
馬太福音 24:45
- 46
"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
「誰是忠心有見識的僕人，為主人所派，管理家裡的人，按時分糧給他們呢？
主人來到，看見他這樣行，那僕人就有福了。
馬太福音 25:19
"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
過了許久，那些僕人的主人來了，和他們算賬。
馬太福音 25:16
- 21
The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.
So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.'
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
那領五千的隨即拿去做買賣，另外賺了五千。
那領二千的也照樣另賺了二千。
但那領一千的去掘開地，把主人的銀子埋藏了。
過了許久，那些僕人的主人來了，和他們算賬。
那領五千銀子的又帶著那另外的五千來，說：『主啊，你交給我五千銀子。請看，我又賺了五千。』
主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』
馬太福音 25:24
- 30
"Then the man who had received one bag of gold 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.
So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'
"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?
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.
" 'So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
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.
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
那領一千的也來，說：『主啊，我知道你是忍心的人，沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，
我就害怕，去把你的一千銀子埋藏在地裡。請看，你的原銀子在這裡。』
主人回答說：『你這又惡又懶的僕人，你既知道我沒有種的地方要收割，沒有散的地方要聚斂，
就當把我的銀子放給兌換銀錢的人，到我來的時候，可以連本帶利收回。
奪過他這一千來，給那有一萬的。
因為凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪過來。
把這無用的僕人丟在外面黑暗裡；在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。』」
