Jesus concludes the parable about the servants and the talents. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney]])

The master is speaking to other servants.
|
|
|
|
# talent
|
|
|
|
A "talent" was worth twenty years' wages. Avoid translating this into modern money. See how you translated this in [Matthew 25:15](./14.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney]])

# who possesses
|

|
It is implied that the person who possesses something also uses it wisely. AT: "who uses well what he has" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# more will be given
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will give more" or "I will give more" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# even more abundantly
|
|
|
|
"even much more"
|
|
|
|
# from anyone who does not possess anything
|
|

It is implied that the person does possess something but he does not use it wisely. AT: "from anyone does not use well what he has" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# the outer darkness
|
|
|
|
Here "outer darkness" is a metonym for the place where God sends those who reject them. This is a place that is completely separated from God forever. See how you translated this in [Matthew 8:12](../08/11.md). AT: "the dark place away from God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|

|
# weeping and grinding of teeth
|
|
|
|
"Grinding of teeth" is symbolic action, representing extreme sadness and suffering. See how you translated this in [Matthew 8:12](../08/11.md). AT: "weeping and expressing their extreme suffering" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
