Matthew 25
1 [Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
Então o Reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens, que tomaram suas lâmpadas, e saíram ao encontro do noivo.
2 Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
E cinco delas eram tolas, e cinco prudentes.
3 The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
As tolas, quando tomaram as lâmpadas, não tomaram azeite consigo.
4 But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
Mas as prudentes tomaram azeite nos frascos, com as suas lâmpadas.
5 The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
O noivo demorou, por isso todas cochilaram e adormeceram.
6 In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
Mas à meia-noite houve um grito: “Eis o noivo! Ide ao seu encontro!”.
7 So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
Então todas aquelas virgens se levantaram, e prepararam suas lâmpadas.
8 The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
E as tolas disseram às prudentes: “Dai-nos do vosso azeite, porque as nossas lâmpadas estão se apagando”.
9 The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
Mas as prudentes responderam: “[Não], para que não falte a nós e a vós; em vez disso, ide aos vendedores, e comprai para vós mesmas”.
10 But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
Enquanto elas foram comprar, veio o noivo. As que estavam preparadas entraram com ele à festa do casamento, e fechou-se a porta.
11 Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
Depois vieram também as outras virgens, dizendo: “Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos!”
12 But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
Mas ele respondeu: “Em verdade vos digo que não vos conheço”.
13 [Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
Portanto, vigiai, porque não sabeis o dia nem a hora.
14 “[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
Pois [é] como um homem, que partindo para fora do país, chamou seus servos, e lhes entregou os seus bens.
15 He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
E a um deu cinco talentos, a outro dois, e ao terceiro um, a cada um conforme a sua habilidade, e depois partiu em viagem.
16 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
Logo em seguida, o que havia recebido cinco talentos foi fazer negócios com eles, e ganhou outros cinco.
17 Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
E, semelhantemente, o que [havia recebido] dois ganhou também outros dois.
18 But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
Mas o que tinha recebido um foi cavar a terra, e escondeu o dinheiro do seu senhor.
19 After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
Muito tempo depois, o senhor daqueles servos veio fazer contas com eles.
20 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
O que havia recebido cinco talentos chegou trazendo-lhe outros cinco talentos, e disse:”Senhor, cinco talentos me entregaste, eis que ganhei com eles outros cinco talentos”.
21 His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
E o seu senhor lhe disse: “[Muito] bem, servo bom e fiel! Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre o muito te porei; entra na alegria do teu senhor”.
22 The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
E chegando-se também o que [havia recebido] dois talentos, disse: “Senhor, dois talentos me entregaste, eis que ganhei com eles outros dois talentos”.
23 His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
Seu senhor lhe disse: “[Muito] bem, servo bom e fiel! Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre o muito te porei; entra na alegria do teu senhor”.
24 Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
Mas, chegando também o que havia recebido um talento, disse: “Senhor, eu te conhecia, que és homem duro, que colhes onde não semeaste, e ajuntas onde não espalhaste;
25 So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
E eu, atemorizado, fui e escondi o teu talento na terra; eis aqui tens o que é teu”.
26 His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
Porém seu senhor lhe respondeu: “Servo mau e preguiçoso! Sabias que colho onde não semeei, e ajunto onde não espalhei.
27 So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
Devias, portanto, ter depositado o meu dinheiro com os banqueiros e, quando eu voltasse, receberia o que é meu com juros.
28 [Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
Por isso, tirai dele o talento, e dai-o ao que tem dez talentos”.
29 To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
Pois a todo aquele que tiver, lhe será dado, e terá em abundância; porém ao que não tiver, até o que tem lhe será tirado.
30 Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
“E lançai o servo inútil às trevas de fora (ali haverá pranto e ranger de dentes)”.
31 “When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
E quando o Filho do homem vier em sua glória, e todos os anjos com ele, então ele se assentará sobre o trono de sua glória.
32 People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
E serão ajuntadas diante dele todas as nações, e separará [as pessoas] umas das outras, assim como o pastor separa as ovelhas dos bodes.
33 I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
E porá as ovelhas à sua direita, porém os bodes à esquerda.
34 Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
Então o Rei dirá o rei aos que estiverem à sua direita: “Vinde, benditos de meu Pai! Herdai o Reino que está preparado para vós desde a fundação do mundo.
35 [They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
Pois tive fome, e me destes de comer; tive sede, e me destes de beber; fui forasteiro, e me acolhestes;
36 When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
[estive] nu, e me vestistes; [estive] doente, e cuidastes de mim; estive na prisão, e me visitastes”.
37 Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
Então os justos lhe perguntarão: “Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, e [te] demos de comer, ou com sede, e [te] demos de beber?
38 When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
E quando te vimos forasteiro, e [te] acolhemos, ou nu, e te vestimos?
39 When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
E quando te vimos doente, ou na prisão, e viemos te visitar?”
40 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
E o Rei lhes responderá: “Em verdade vos digo que, todas as vezes que fizestes a um destes menores dos meus irmãos, fizestes a mim”.
41 Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
Então dirá também aos que [estiverem] à esquerda: “Apartai-vos de mim, malditos, ao fogo eterno, preparado para o Diabo e os seus anjos. (aiōnios g166)
42 [It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
Pois tive fome, e não me destes de comer; tive sede, e não me destes de beber.
43 You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
Fui forasteiro, e não me acolhestes; [estive] nu, e não me vestistes; [estive] doente, e na prisão, e não me visitastes.
44 They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
Então também eles perguntarão: “Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, ou com sede, ou forasteiro, ou nu, ou doente, ou na prisão, e não te servimos?”
45 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
Então ele lhes responderá, dizendo: “Em verdade vos digo que, todas as vezes que não fizestes a um destes menores, não fizestes a mim”.
