8.미련한 자들이 슬기 있는 자들에게 이르되 우리 등불이 꺼져가니 너희 기름을 좀 나눠 달라 하거늘
9.슬기 있는 자들이 대답하여 가로되 우리와 너희의 쓰기에 다 부족할까 하노니 차라리 파는 자들에게 가서 너희 쓸 것을 사라 하니
10.저희가 사러 간 동안에 신랑이 오므로 예비하였던 자들은 함께 혼인 잔치에 들어가고 문은 닫힌지라
11.그 후에 남은 처녀들이 와서 가로되 주여 주여 우리에게 열어 주소서
12.대답하여 가로되 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 내가 너희를 알지 못하노라 하였느니라
13.그런즉 깨어 있으라 너희는 그 날과 그 시를 알지 못하느니라
1."At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2.Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3.The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4.The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5.The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6."At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
7."Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8.The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
9." 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10."But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11."Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
12."But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
13."Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
