Mateus 25
1 Então o reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens que, tomando as suas lâmpadas, sairam ao encontro do esposo.
"Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 E cinco delas eram prudentes, e cinco loucas.
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3 As loucas, tomando as suas lâmpadas, não levaram azeite consigo,
For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;
4 Mas as prudentes levaram azeite nos seus vasos, com as suas lâmpadas.
but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.
5 E, tardando o esposo, tosquenejaram todas, e adormeceram,
The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 Mas à meia noite ouviu-se um clamor: ai vem o esposo, sai-lhe ao encontro.
But at midnight there is a loud cry, "'The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'
7 Então todas aquelas virgens se levantaram, e prepararam as suas lâmpadas.
"Then all those bridesmaids roused themselves and trimmed their torches.
8 E as loucas disseram às prudentes: dai-nos do vosso azeite, porque as nossas lâmpadas se apagam.
"'Give us some of your oil,' said the foolish ones to the wise, 'for our torches are going out.'
9 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.
"'But perhaps,' replied the wise, 'there will not be enough for all of us. Go to the shops rather, and buy some for yourselves.'
10 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.
"So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came; those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.
11 E depois chegaram também as outras virgens, dizendo: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos.
"Afterwards the other bridesmaids came and cried, "'Sir, Sir, open the door to us.'
12 E ele, respondendo, disse: Em verdade vos digo que vos não conheço.
"'In solemn truth I tell you,' he replied, 'I do not know you.'
13 Vigiai pois, porque não sabeis o dia nem a hora em que o Filho do homem há de vir.
"Keep awake therefore; for you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Porque, é também como um homem que, partindo para fora da sua terra, chamou os seus servos, e entregou-lhes os seus bens;
"Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care.
15 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.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one--to each according to his individual capacity; and then started from home.
16 E, tendo ele partido, o que recebera cinco talentos negociou com eles, e grangeou outros cinco talentos.
Without delay the one who had received the five talents went and employed them in business, and gained five more.
17 Da mesma sorte, o que recebera dois, grangeou também outros dois;
In the same way he who had the two gained two more.
18 Mas o que recebera um foi enterra-lo no chão, e escondeu o dinheiro do seu senhor.
But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.
19 E muito tempo depois veio o senhor daqueles servos, e fez contas com eles.
"After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.
20 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.
The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, and said, "'Sir, it was five talents that you entrusted to me: see, I have gained five more.'
21 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.
"'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
22 E, chegando também o que tinha recebido dois talentos, disse: Senhor, entregaste-me dois talentos; eis que com eles grangeei outros dois talentos.
"The second, who had received the two talents, came and said, "'Sir, it was two talents you entrusted to me: see, I have gained two more.'
23 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.
"'Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
24 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;
"But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "'Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.
25 E, atemorizado, escondi na terra o teu talento; aqui tens o que é teu.
So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
26 Respondendo, porém, o seu senhor, disse-lhe: Mau e negligente servo; sabes que ceifo onde não semeei e ajunto onde não espalhei;
"'You wicked and slothful servant,' replied his master, 'did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed?
27 Por isso te cumpria dar o meu dinheiro aos banqueiros, e, quando eu viesse, receberia o meu com os juros.
Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest.
28 Tirai-lhe pois o talento, e dai-o ao que tem os dez talentos.
So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'
29 Porque a qualquer que tiver será dado, e terá em abundância; mas ao que não tiver até o que tem será tirado.
(For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away.)
30 Lançai pois o servo inútil nas trevas exteriores: ali haverá pranto e ranger de dentes.
'But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'
31 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;
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,
32 E todas as nações serão reunidas diante dele, e apartará uns dos outros, como o pastor aparta dos bodes as ovelhas,
and all the nations will be gathered into His presence. And He will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 E porá as ovelhas à sua direita, mas os bodes à esquerda.
and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.
34 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;
"Then the King will say to those at His right, "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.
35 Porque tive fome, e destes-me de comer; tive sede, e destes-me de beber; era estrangeiro, e hospedastes-me;
For when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was homeless, you gave me a welcome;
36 Estava nú, e vestistes-me; adoeci, e visitastes-me; estive na prisão, e fostes ver-me.
when I was ill-clad, you clothed me; when I was sick, you visited me; when I was in prison, you came to see me.'
37 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?
"'When, Lord,' the righteous will reply, 'did we see Thee hungry, and feed Thee; or thirsty, and give Thee drink?
38 E quando te vimos estrangeiro, e te hospedamos? ou nú, e te vestimos?
When did we see Thee homeless, and give Thee a welcome? or ill-clad, and clothe Thee?
39 E quando te vimos enfermo, ou na prisão, e fomos ver-te?
When did we see Thee sick or in prison, and come to see Thee?'
40 E, respondendo o Rei, lhes dirá: Em verdade vos digo que, quando o fizestes a um destes meus pequeninos irmãos, a mim o fizestes.
"But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'
41 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)
"Then will He say to those at His left, "'Begone from me, with the curse resting upon you, into the Fire of the Ages, which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 Porque tive fome, e não me destes de comer: tive sede, e não me destes de beber;
For when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat; when thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink;
43 Sendo estrangeiro, não me recolhestes; estando nú, não me vestistes; enfermo, e na prisão, não me visitastes.
when homeless, you gave me no welcome; ill-clad, you clothed me not; sick or in prison, you visited me not.'
44 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?
"Then will they also answer, "'Lord, when did we see Thee hungry or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison, and not come to serve Thee?'
45 Então lhes responderá, dizendo: Em verdade vos digo que, quando a um destes pequeninos o não fizestes, não o fizestes a mim
"But he will reply, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these, you withheld them from me.'
