34. For where your otzar (treasure) is, there also will be your lev (heart).
35. Tighten your gartels for action and have your menorahs lit.
36. And you should be like bnei Adam who expectantly khakeh l'vo'o shel (await the arrival of) their Adon when he returns from the Chasunoh, in order that, when he comes and knocks, ofen ort they may open the delet for him.
37. Ashrey are those avadim (servants), whom, having come, the Adon will find keeping shomer. Omein, I say to you, that he will fasten his gartel, and have those avadim (servants) sit down to tish, and he will come and serve them.
38. And if in the second or if in the third watch he comes and finds it thus, ashrey (happy, blessed) are those.
39. But have daas of this, that if the Baal Bayit had had da'as in what hour the ganav (thief) comes, he would not have allowed his bais to be broken into.
40. So you be shomer, for the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] comes in an hour you do not think.
41. And Kefa said, Adoneinu, are you speaking this mashal for us or for all?
42. And HaAdon said, Who then is the sochen haneeman and navon (faithful and wise steward) whom HaAdon will appoint over his avadim to give them their okhel (food) allowance at the proper time?
43. Ashrey is that eved, whom, having come, his Adon will find doing thus.
44. Omein, I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he has.
45. But if that eved says in his lev, Adoni delays to come to me, and if that eved begins to beat the avadim (servants) and the shfakhot (maid servants), and to gluttonize and get down in his schnapps,
46. HaAdon of that eved will come on a day which he does not expect and at an hour of which he does not have da'as, and will cut him in pieces and assign him the portion of the Apikoros with the koferim (unbelievers).
