San Mateo 25
1 “En aquel entonces el reino de los cielos será semejante a diez vírgenes, que tomaron sus lámparas y salieron al encuentro del esposo.
“Then will the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom;
2 Cinco de entre ellas eran necias, y cinco prudentes.
and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;
3 Las necias, al tomar sus lámparas, no tomaron aceite consigo,
they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;
4 mientras que las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus frascos, además de sus lámparas.
and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps.
5 Como el esposo tardaba, todas sintieron sueño y se durmieran.
And the bridegroom lingering, they all nodded and were sleeping,
6 Mas a medianoche se oyó un grito: “¡He aquí al esposo! ¡Salid a su encuentro!”
and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go forth to meet him!
7 Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron y arreglaron sus lámparas.
Then all those virgins rose, and trimmed their lamps,
8 Mas las necias dijeron a las prudentes: “Dadnos de vuestro aceite, porque nuestras lámparas se apagan”.
and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
9 Replicaron las prudentes y dijeron: “No sea que no alcance para nosotras y para vosotras; id más bien a los vendedores y comprad para vosotras”.
and the prudent answered, saying, Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.
10 Mientras ellas iban a comprar, llegó el esposo; y las que estaban prontas, entraron con él a las bodas, y se cerró la puerta.
And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feasts, and the door was shut;
11 Después llegaron las otras vírgenes y dijeron: “¡Señor, señor, ábrenos!”
and afterward come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, lord, open to us;
12 Pero él respondió y dijo: “En verdad, os digo, no os conozco”.
and he answering said, Truly I say to you, I have not known you.
13 Velad, pues, porque no sabéis ni el día ni la hora”.
Watch therefore, for you have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
14 “Es como un hombre, que al hacer un viaje a otro país, llamó a sus siervos, y les encomendó sus haberes.
For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
15 A uno dio cinco talentos, a otro dos, a otro uno, a cada cual según su capacidad; luego partió.
and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.
16 En seguida, el que había recibido cinco talentos se fue a negociar con ellos, y ganó otros cinco.
And he who received the five talents, having gone, worked with them, and made five other talents;
17 Igualmente el de los dos, ganó otros dos.
in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained, also he, other two;
18 Mas el que había recibido uno, se fue a hacer un hoyo en la tierra, y escondió allí el dinero de su señor.
and he who received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 Al cabo de mucho tiempo, volvió el señor de aquellos siervos, y ajustó cuentas con ellos.
And after a long time comes the lord of those servants, and takes reckoning with them;
20 Presentándose el que había recibido cinco talentos, trajo otros cinco, y dijo: “Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste; mira, otros cinco gané”.
and he who received the five talents, having come, brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me; behold, I gained five other talents besides them.
21 Díjole su señor: “¡Bien! siervo bueno y fiel; en lo poco has sido fiel, te pondré al frente de lo mucho; entra en el gozo de tu señor”.
And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
22 A su turno, el de los dos talentos, se presentó y dijo: “Señor, dos talentos me entregaste; mira, otros dos gané”.
And he also, who received the two talents, having come, said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; behold, I gained two other talents besides them.
23 Díjole su señor: “¡Bien! siervo bueno y fiel; en lo poco has sido fiel, te pondré al frente de lo mucho; entra en el gozo de tu señor”.
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
24 Mas llegándose el que había recibido un talento, dijo: “Tengo conocido que eres un hombre duro, que quieres cosechar allí donde no sembraste, y recoger allí donde nada echaste.
And he also who has received the one talent, having come, said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter;
25 Por lo cual, en mi temor, me fui a esconder tu talento en tierra. Helo aquí; tienes lo que es tuyo”.
and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have your own!
26 Mas el señor le respondió y dijo: “Siervo malo y perezoso, sabías que yo cosecho allí donde no sembré y recojo allí donde nada eché.
And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!
27 Debías, pues, haber entregado mi dinero a los banqueros, y a mi regreso yo lo habría recobrado con sus réditos.
It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.
28 Quitadle, por tanto, el talento, y dádselo al que tiene los diez talentos.
Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,
29 Porque a todo aquel que tiene, se le dará, y tendrá sobreabundancia; pero al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;
30 Y a ese siervo inútil, echadlo a las tinieblas de afuera. Allí será el llanto y el rechinar de dientes”.
and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
31 “Cuando el Hijo del Hombre vuelva en su gloria, acompañado de todos sus ángeles, se sentará sobre su trono de gloria,
And whenever the Son of Man may come in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then He will sit on a throne of His glory;
32 y todas las naciones serán congregadas delante de Él, y separará a los hombres, unos de otros, como el pastor separa las ovejas de los machos cabríos.
and all the nations will be gathered together before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33 Y colocará las ovejas a su derecha, y los machos cabríos a su izquierda.
and He will set the sheep indeed on His right hand, and the goats on the left.
34 Entonces el rey dirá a los de su derecha: “Venid, benditos de mi Padre, tomad posesión del reino preparado para vosotros desde la fundación del mundo.
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35 Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y me disteis de beber; era forastero y me acogisteis;
for I hungered, and you gave Me to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received Me;
36 estaba desnudo, y me vestisteis; estaba enfermo, y me visitasteis; estaba preso, y vinisteis a verme”.
naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you looked after Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
37 Entonces los justos le responderán, diciendo: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y te dimos de comer, o sediento, y te dimos de beber?
Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we nourished? Or thirsting, and we gave to drink?
38 ¿Cuándo te vimos forasteros, y te acogimos; o desnudo, y te vestimos?
And when did we see You a stranger, and we received? Or naked, and we clothed?
39 ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel, y fuimos a verte?”
And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and we came to You?
40 Y respondiendo el rey les dirá: “En verdad, os digo: en cuanto lo hicisteis a uno solo, el más pequeño de estos mis hermanos, a Mí lo hicisteis”.
And the King answering, will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] to one of these My brothers—the least—you did [it] to Me.
41 Entonces dirá también a los de su izquierda: “Alejaos de Mí, malditos, al fuego eterno; preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles. (aiōnios g166)
Then will He say also to those on the left hand, Go from Me, the cursed, into the continuous fire that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; (aiōnios g166)
42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;
for I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 era forastero, y no me acogisteis; estaba desnudo y no me vestisteis; enfermo y en la cárcel y no me visitasteis”.
I was a stranger, and you did not receive Me; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick and in prison, and you did not look after Me.
44 Entonces responderán ellos también: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, sediento, forastero, desnudo, enfermo o en la cárcel, y no te asistimos?”
Then they will answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?
45 Y Él les responderá: “En verdad, os digo: en cuanto habéis dejado de hacerlo a uno de estos, los más pequeños, tampoco a Mí lo hicisteis”.
Then will He answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you did [it] not to one of these, the least, you did [it] not to Me.
