ፍርድ: በበጎችና ፍየሎች ላይ

የሰው ልጅ በክብሩ በሚመጣበት ጊዜ ከእርሱም ጋር ቅዱሳን መላእክቱ ሁሉ፥ በዚያን ጊዜ በክብሩ ዙፋን ይቀመጣል፤ አሕዛብም ሁሉ በፊቱ ይሰበሰባሉ፤ እረኛም በጎቹን ከፍየሎች እንደሚለይ እርስ በርሳቸው ይለያቸዋል፥ በጎችን በቀኙ ፍየሎችንም በግራው ያቆማቸዋል። ንጉሡም በቀኙ ያሉትን እንዲህ ይላቸዋል። እናንተ የአባቴ ቡሩካን፥ ኑ፤ ዓለም ከተፈጠረበት ጊዜ ጀምሮ የተዘጋጀላችሁን መንግሥት ውረሱ። ተርቤ አብልታችሁኛልና፥ ተጠምቼ አጠጥታችሁኛልና፥ እንግዳ ሆኜ ተቀብላችሁኛልና፥ ታርዤ አልብሳችሁኛልና፥ ታምሜ ጠይቃችሁኛልና፥ ታስሬ ወደ እኔ መጥታችኋልና። ጻድቃንም መልሰው ይሉታል። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ተርበህ አይተን መቼ አበላንህስ? ወይስ ተጠምተህ አይተን መቼ አጠጣንህ? እንግዳ ሆነህስ አይተን መቼ ተቀበልንህ? ወይስ ታርዘህ አይተን መቼ አለበስንህ? ወይስ ታመህ ወይስ ታስረህ አይተን መቼ ወደ አንተ መጣን? ንጉሡም መልሶ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከሁሉ ከሚያንሱ ከእነዚህ ወንድሞቼ ለአንዱ እንኳ ስላደረጋችሁት ለእኔ አደረጋችሁት ይላቸዋል። በዚያን ጊዜ በግራው ያሉትን ደግሞ ይላቸዋል። እናንተ ርጉማን፥ ለሰይጣንና ለመላእክቱ ወደ ተዘጋጀ ወደ ዘላለም እሳት ከእኔ ሂዱ። ተርቤ አላበላችሁኝምና፥ ተጠምቼ አላጠጣችሁኝምና፥ እንግዳ ሆኜ አልተቀበላችሁኝምና፥ ርዤ አላለበሳችሁኝምና፥ ታምሜ ታስሬም አልጠየቃችሁኝምና። እነርሱ ደግሞ ይመልሱና። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ተርበህ ወይስ ተጠምተህ ወይስ እንግዳ ሆነህ ወይስ ታርዘህ ወይስ ታመህ ወይስ ታስረህ መቼ አይተን አላገለገልንህም? ይሉታል። ያን ጊዜ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ ከሁሉ ከሚያንሱ ከእነዚህ ለአንዱ ስላላደረጋችሁት ለእኔ ደግሞ አላደረጋችሁትም ብሎ ይመልስላቸዋል። እነዚያም ወደ ዘላለም ቅጣት፥ ጻድቃን ግን ወደ ዘላለም ሕይወት ይሄዳሉ።

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
