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]])
# take away the talent
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 him more" or "I will give him more" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
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]])
# will be taken away
This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will take away" or "I will take away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth
