塔冷通的比喻 The Parable of the Bags of Gold

玛窦福音 25 : 14 – 30 

「天國又如一個要遠行的人，將自己的僕人叫來，把財產托付給他們：按照他們的才能，一個給了五個『塔冷通』，一個給了兩個，一個給了一個；然後動身走了。那領了五個『塔冷通』的，立刻去用來營業，另外賺了五個。同樣，那領了兩個的，也賺了另外兩個。但是，那領了一個的，卻去掘開地，把主人的銀子藏了。過了多時，僕人的主人回來了，便與他們算賬。那領了五個『塔冷通』的上前來，呈上另外五個『塔冷通』說：主啊！你曾交給我五個『塔冷通』，看，我賺了另外五個『塔冷通』。主人對他說：好！善良忠信的僕人，你既在少許事上忠信，我必委派你管理許多大事：進入你主人的福樂罷！那領了兩個『塔冷通』的也前來說：主啊！你曾交給我兩個「塔冷通，」看，我賺了另外兩個『塔冷通』。主人對他說：好！善良忠信的僕人！你既在少許事上忠信，我必委派你管理許多大事：進入你主人的福樂罷！隨後，那領了一個『塔冷通』的也前來說：主啊！我原知道你是個刻薄的人，在你沒有下種的地方收割，在你沒有散布的地方聚斂。因為我害怕，所以我去把你的『塔冷通』藏在地下；看，你的仍還給你。主人回答說：可惡懶惰的僕人！你既知道：我在沒有下種的地方收割，在沒有散布的地方聚斂；那麼，你就該把我的銀子，交給錢莊裏的人，待我回來時，把我連本帶利取回。所以，你們把這個『塔冷通』從他手中奪過來，給那有了十個『塔冷通』的，因為凡是有的，還要給他，叫他富裕；那沒有的，連他所有的，也要由他手中奪去。至於這無用的僕人，你們把他丟在外面的黑暗中，在那裏必有哀號和切齒。」

Matthew 25 : 14 – 30

“A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one – to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did no
