Matthew 25
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
ENTÓNCES el reino de los cielos sera semejante á diez vírgenes, que tomando sus lámparas, salieron á recibir al esposo.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Y las cinco de ellas eran prudentes y las cinco fátuas.
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
Las que [eran] fátuas, tomando sus lámparas, no tomaron consigo aceite:
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mas las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus vasos, [juntamente] con sus lámparas.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Y tardándose el esposo, cabecearon todas, y se durmieron.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
Y á la media noche fué oido un clamor: Hé aquí, el esposo viene, salid á recibirle.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Entónces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron, y aderezaron sus lámparas.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Y las fátuas dijeron á las prudentes: Dadnos de vuestro aceite; porque nuestras lámparas se apagan.
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there is not enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
Mas las prudentes respondieron, diciendo: Porque no nos falte á nosotras y á vosotras, id ántes á los que venden, y comprad para vosotras.
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
Y mientras^ que ellas iban á comprar, vino el esposo; y las que estaban apercibidas, entraron con él á las bodas, y se cerró la puerta.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
Y despues vinieron tambien las otras vírgenes, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos.
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I do not know you.’
Mas respondiendo él, dijo: De cierto os digo, [que] no os conozco.
13 Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Velad pues, porque no sabeis el dia ni la hora, en que el Hijo del hombre ha de venir.
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
Porque el reino de los cielos [es] como un hombre que partiéndose léjos llamó á sus siervos, y les entregó sus bienes.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
Y á este dió cinco talentos, y al otro dos, y al otro uno; á cada uno conforme á su facultad, y luego se partió lejos.
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
Y el que habia recibido cinco talentos se fué, y granjeo con ellos, é hizo otros cinco talentos.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
Asimismo el que [habia recibido] dos ganó tambien él otros dos.
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
Mas el que habia recibido uno, fué, y cavó en la tierra, y escondió el dinero de su señor.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
Y despues de mucho tiempo vino el señor de aquellos siervos, é hizo cuentas con ellos.
20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’
Y llegando el que habla recibido cinco talentos, trajo otros cinco talentos, diciendo: Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste; hé aquí otros cinco talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
21 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Y su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
22 “He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’
Y llegando tambien el que habia recibido dos talentos, dijo: Señor, dos talentos me entregaste; hé aquí otros dos talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
23 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
24 “He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
Y llegando tambien el que habia recibido un talento, dijo: Señor, yo te conocia que eres hombre duro, que siegas donde no sembraste, y recoges donde no esparciste:
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
Y tuve miedo, y fuí, y escondí tu talento en la tierra: hé aquí tienes lo que [es] tuyo.
26 “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.
Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Malo y negligente siervo, sabias que siego donde no sembré, y [que] recojo donde no esparcí:
27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
Por tanto te convenia dar mi dinero á los banqueros; y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido lo que [es] mio con usura.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Quitadle pues el talento, y dad[lo] al que tiene diez talentos.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado, y tendrá más: y al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Y al siervo inútil echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro, y el crujir de dientes.
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
Y cuando el Hijo del hombre venga en su gloria, y todos los santos ángeles con él, entónces se sentará sobre el trono de su gloria.
32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Y serán reunidas delante de él todas las gentes: y los apartará los unos de los otros, como aparta el pastor las ovejas de los cabritos:
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Y pondrá las ovejas á su derecha, y los cabritos á la izquierda.
34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Entónces el Rey dirá á los que [estarán] á su derecha: Venid, benditos de mi Padre, heredad el reino preparado para vosotros desde la fundacion del mundo.
35 for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.
Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y me disteis de beber; fuí huésped, y me recogisteis;
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
Desnudo, y me cubristeis; enfermo y me visitasteis: estuve en la cárcel, y vinisteis á mí.
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
Entónces los justos le responderán diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y [te] sustentamos? ¿ó sediento, y [te] dimos de beber?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
¿Y cuándo te vimos huésped, y [te] recogimos? ¿ó desnudo, y [te] cubrimos?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
¿O cuándo te vimos enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y vinimos á tí?
40 “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo, [que] en cuanto [lo] hicisteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí [lo] hicisteis.
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the consummate (aiōnios g166) fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
Entónces dirá tambien á los que [estarán] á la izquierda: Apartáos de mí malditos, al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo, y para sus ángeles. (aiōnios g166)
42 for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;
43 I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.’
Fuí huésped, y no me recogisteis; desnudo, y no me cubrísteis; enfermo, y en la cárcel, y no me visitásteis.
44 “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?’
Entónces ellos tambien le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, ó sediento, ó huésped, ó desnudo, ó enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y no te servimos?
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
Entónces les responderá, diciendo: De cierto os digo, [que] en cuanto no [lo] hicisteis á uno de estos pequeñitos, ni á mí [lo] hicisteis.
