In illo tempore. Dixit Jesus discipilis suis parabolam hanc. Homo quidam péregre proficíscens, vocávit servos suos, et trádidit illis bona sua. Et uni dedit quinque talénta, álii autem duo, álii vero unum, unicuíque secúndum própriam virtútem: et proféctus est statim. Ábiit autem qui quinque talénta accéperat, et operátus est in eis, et lucrátus est ália quinque. Simíliter et qui duo accéperat, lucrátus est ália duo. Qui autem unum accéperat, ábiens fodit in terram, et abscóndit pecúniam dómini sui. Post multum vero témporis venit dóminus servórum illórum, et pósuit ratiónem cum eis. Et accédens qui quinque talénta accéperat, óbtulit ália quinque

[Matthew 25:14-20]
In that time. Jesus told his disciples this parable. 14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods; 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. 16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five. 17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two. 18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them. 20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five...

talénta, dicens: Dómine, quinque talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce ália quinque superlucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus ejus: Éuge serve bone, et fidélis: quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam; intra in gáudium dómini tui. Accéssit autem et qui duo talénta accéperat, et ait: Dómine, duo talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce ália duo lucrátus sum.

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples, 35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. 36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh...
