Matthew 25
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Então o reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens que, tomando as suas lâmpadas, sairam ao encontro do esposo.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
E cinco delas eram prudentes, e cinco loucas.
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
As loucas, tomando as suas lâmpadas, não levaram azeite consigo,
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mas as prudentes levaram azeite nos seus vasos, com as suas lâmpadas.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
E, tardando o esposo, tosquenejaram todas, e adormeceram,
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
Mas à meia noite ouviu-se um clamor: ai vem o esposo, sai-lhe ao encontro.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Então todas aquelas virgens se levantaram, e prepararam as suas lâmpadas.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
E as loucas disseram às prudentes: dai-nos do vosso azeite, porque as nossas lâmpadas se apagam.
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
Mas as prudentes responderam, dizendo: Não seja caso que nos falte a nós e a vós; ide antes aos que o vendem, e comprai-o para vós.
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.
E, tendo elas ido compra-lo, chegou o esposo, e as que estavam preparadas entraram com ele para as bodas, e fechou-se a porta.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
E depois chegaram também as outras virgens, dizendo: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos.
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
E ele, respondendo, disse: Em verdade vos digo que vos não conheço.
13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Vigiai pois, porque não sabeis o dia nem a hora em que o Filho do homem há de vir.
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
Porque, é também como um homem que, partindo para fora da sua terra, chamou os seus servos, e entregou-lhes os seus bens;
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.
E a um deu cinco talentos, e a outro dois, e a outro um, a cada um segundo a sua capacidade, e ausentou-se logo para longe.
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
E, tendo ele partido, o que recebera cinco talentos negociou com eles, e grangeou outros cinco talentos.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
Da mesma sorte, o que recebera dois, grangeou também outros dois;
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
Mas o que recebera um foi enterra-lo no chão, e escondeu o dinheiro do seu senhor.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
E muito tempo depois veio o senhor daqueles servos, e fez contas com eles.
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.’
Então aproximou-se o que recebera cinco talentos, e trouxe-lhe outros cinco talentos, dizendo: Senhor, entregaste-me cinco talentos; eis aqui outros cinco talentos que grangeei com eles.
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.’
E o seu senhor lhe disse: Bem está, servo bom e fiel. Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.
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.’
E, chegando também o que tinha recebido dois talentos, disse: Senhor, entregaste-me dois talentos; eis que com eles grangeei outros dois talentos.
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.’
Disse-lhe o seu senhor: Bem está, bom e fiel servo. Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.
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 didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.
Mas, chegando também o que recebera um talento, disse: Senhor, eu conhecia-te, que és um homem duro, que ceifas onde não semeaste e ajuntas onde não espalhaste;
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
E, atemorizado, escondi na terra o teu talento; aqui tens o que é teu.
26 “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.
Respondendo, porém, o seu senhor, disse-lhe: Mau e negligente servo; sabes que ceifo onde não semeei e ajunto onde não espalhei;
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 isso te cumpria dar o meu dinheiro aos banqueiros, e, quando eu viesse, receberia o meu com os juros.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Tirai-lhe pois o talento, e dai-o ao que tem os dez talentos.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.
Porque a qualquer que tiver será dado, e terá em abundância; mas ao que não tiver até o que tem será tirado.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Lançai pois o servo inútil nas trevas exteriores: ali haverá pranto e ranger de dentes.
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.
E quando o Filho do homem vier em sua glória, e todos os santos anjos com ele, então se assentará no trono da sua glória;
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.
E todas as nações serão reunidas diante dele, e apartará uns dos outros, como o pastor aparta dos bodes as ovelhas,
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
E porá as ovelhas à sua direita, mas os bodes à esquerda.
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;
Então dirá o Rei aos que estiverem à sua direita: Vinde, benditos de meu Pai, possui por herança o reino que vos está preparado desde a fundação do 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 tive fome, e destes-me de comer; tive sede, e destes-me de beber; era estrangeiro, e hospedastes-me;
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
Estava nú, e vestistes-me; adoeci, e visitastes-me; estive na prisão, e fostes ver-me.
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?
Então os justos lhe responderão, dizendo: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, e te demos de comer? ou com sede, e te demos de beber?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
E quando te vimos estrangeiro, e te hospedamos? ou nú, e te vestimos?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
E quando te vimos enfermo, ou na prisão, e fomos ver-te?
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.’
E, respondendo o Rei, lhes dirá: Em verdade vos digo que, quando o fizestes a um destes meus pequeninos irmãos, a mim o fizestes.
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; (aiōnios g166)
Então dirá também aos que estiverem à sua esquerda: apartai-vos de mim, malditos, para o fogo eterno, preparado para o diabo e seus anjos; (aiōnios g166)
42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
Porque tive fome, e não me destes de comer: tive sede, e não me destes de beber;
43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
Sendo estrangeiro, não me recolhestes; estando nú, não me vestistes; enfermo, e na prisão, não me visitastes.
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 didn’t help you?’
Então eles também lhe responderão, dizendo: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, ou com sede, ou estrangeiro, ou nú, ou enfermo, ou na prisão, e te não servimos?
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’
Então lhes responderá, dizendo: Em verdade vos digo que, quando a um destes pequeninos o não fizestes, não o fizestes a mim
