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 heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,
2 Cinco de entre ellas eran necias, y cinco prudentes.
and five were foolish.
3 Las necias, al tomar sus lámparas, no tomaron aceite consigo,
The foolish ones took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 mientras que las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus frascos, además de sus lámparas.
but the wise took oil in their vessels as well as in their lamps.
5 Como el esposo tardaba, todas sintieron sueño y se durmieran.
Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:
6 Mas a medianoche se oyó un grito: “¡He aquí al esposo! ¡Salid a su encuentro!”
and in the middle of the night there was a cry, The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.
7 Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron y arreglaron sus lámparas.
Then all the virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps:
8 Mas las necias dijeron a las prudentes: “Dadnos de vuestro aceite, porque nuestras lámparas se apagan”.
and the foolish ones said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for 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”.
but the wise answered them, saying, Least there should not be enough for us and you, go rather to them that sell it, 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 went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.
11 Después llegaron las otras vírgenes y dijeron: “¡Señor, señor, ábrenos!”
Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us:
12 Pero él respondió y dijo: “En verdad, os digo, no os conozco”.
but he answered them, Verily I declare unto you, I do not know you.
13 Velad, pues, porque no sabéis ni el día ni la hora”.
Watch therefore, for ye know not the day, nor the season in which the Son of man cometh.
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, who was going to travel abroad, called his servants, and delivered to them his stock: and to one he gave five talents,
15 A uno dio cinco talentos, a otro dos, a otro uno, a cada cual según su capacidad; luego partió.
to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability: and then he took his journey.
16 En seguida, el que había recibido cinco talentos se fue a negociar con ellos, y ganó otros cinco.
Now he that had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained other five talents:
17 Igualmente el de los dos, ganó otros dos.
and likewise he that had the two, he also gained two more:
18 Mas el que había recibido uno, se fue a hacer un hoyo en la tierra, y escondió allí el dinero de su señor.
but he who had received the one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his master's money:
19 Al cabo de mucho tiempo, volvió el señor de aquellos siervos, y ajustó cuentas con ellos.
and after some time the lord of those servants cometh and settleth his account 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 had received the five talents came and brought to him five talents more, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents, behold I have gained other five talents to 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, my good and trusty servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into thy master's joy.
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 had received the two talents came to him and said, Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents, behold I have gained two other talents with 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, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into the joy of thy 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 received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;
25 Por lo cual, en mi temor, me fui a esconder tu talento en tierra. Helo aquí; tienes lo que es tuyo”.
and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the ground; behold, there is thine 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.
but his lord answered and said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed;
27 Debías, pues, haber entregado mi dinero a los banqueros, y a mi regreso yo lo habría recobrado con sus réditos.
thou oughtest then to have put my money to the bankers, and when I came I should have received my own with interest.
28 Quitadle, por tanto, el talento, y dádselo al que tiene los diez talentos.
Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath 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 every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, shall be taken away: )
30 Y a ese siervo inútil, echadlo a las tinieblas de afuera. Allí será el llanto y el rechinar de dientes”.
and cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 “Cuando el Hijo del Hombre vuelva en su gloria, acompañado de todos sus ángeles, se sentará sobre su trono de gloria,
So when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon his glorious throne:
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 nations shall be assembled before Him; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats:
33 Y colocará las ovejas a su derecha, y los machos cabríos a su izquierda.
and He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his 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 will the king say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom 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 was famishing, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 estaba desnudo, y me vestisteis; estaba enfermo, y me visitasteis; estaba preso, y vinisteis a verme”.
I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye took care of me; I was in prison, and ye visited 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 thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 ¿Cuándo te vimos forasteros, y te acogimos; o desnudo, y te vestimos?
and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?
39 ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel, y fuimos a verte?”
or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?
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 replying will say unto them, Verily I declare unto you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the lest of these my brethren, ye 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, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166)
42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;
for I was famishing, and ye gave me nothing to eat; I was a-thirst, and ye gave me no 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 ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me.
44 Entonces responderán ellos también: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, sediento, forastero, desnudo, enfermo o en la cárcel, y no te asistimos?”
Then will they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve thee?
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 reply to them, saying, Verily I tell you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the lest of these, ye did it not to me.
