8. But the foolish said to the wise, Give us from your shemen (oil), for our menorahs are going out.
9. But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there might not be enough for us and for you. Instead, you go to the ones selling and buy for yourselves.
10. And as they were going away to buy, the Bias of the Choson (Bridegroom) occurred! The ones prepared entered with him into the Chasunoh (Wedding) feast and the door was shut.
11. And later, here comes also the other alamot, saying, Adoneinu, Adoneinu, open the door for us.
12. But he, in reply, said, Omein, I say to you, I do not know you.
13. Be shomer, be on the alert, therefore, for you do not have daas of the Yom or the Shaah (hour, time).
14. For it is as a man going on a journey, who called to his own avadim (slaves) and handed over to them his possessions.
15. And to this one, he gave five talents, and to this one, two, and to this one, one, each according to his own ability. Then the man went on his journey. Immediately.
16. After the man had gone, the one having received the five talents, went to work with them, and gained five others.
17. Likewise, the one having received the two talents, this one gained two others.
18. But the one, having received one, went out and dug a hole in the ground and buried the gelt (money) of his Adon in a hiding place.
19. And after much time, here comes the Adon of those servants. And he conducts a settling of accounts with them.
20. Then the one who had received five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, Adoni, five talents you gave me. Hinei! Five more talents I gained.
21. And his Adon said to him, Shkoyach (well done), eved tov vneeman (good and faithful servant)! A few things you were faithful over, over many things I will ordain you. Enter into the simchah of your Adon.
