< San Mateo 25 >
1 Entonces el reino celestial será semejante a diez vírgenes, quienes tomaron sus lámparas y salieron a recibir al esposo.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 Cinco de ellas eran insensatas y cinco prudentes.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 Las insensatas tomaron sus lámparas y no tomaron aceite con ellas.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 Pero las prudentes llevaron aceite en sus vasijas con sus lámparas.
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 El esposo tardó. Y todas cabecearon y se durmieron.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 A la medianoche hubo un clamor. ¡Ya [viene] el esposo, salgan a recibirlo!
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.
7 Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron y arreglaron sus lámparas.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 Las insensatas dijeron a las prudentes: Dennos de su aceite, pues nuestras lámparas se apagan.
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 Pero las prudentes respondieron: Vayan más bien a los que venden y compren para ustedes, a fin de que no nos falte a nosotras y a ustedes.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Mientras iban a comprar, llegó el esposo. Las preparadas entraron con él a las bodas, y la puerta fue cerrada.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Más tarde, las otras vírgenes llegaron y clamaron: ¡Señor, señor, ábrenos!
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Pero él respondió: En verdad les digo que no las reconozco.
But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.
13 Velen, pues, ya que no saben el día ni la hora.
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
14 Porque [esto] es como un hombre que, al salir de viaje, llama a sus esclavos y les encarga sus bienes.
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
15 A uno dio cinco talentos, a otro dos, y a otro uno, a cada uno según su capacidad. Y salió de viaje.
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 El que recibió los cinco talentos negoció con ellos y ganó otros cinco.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 Asimismo el [que recibió] los dos ganó otros dos.
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 Pero el que recibió uno excavó en la tierra y escondió el dinero de su señor.
But he that had received one went and dig in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 Después de mucho tiempo, llegó el señor de aquellos esclavos y arregló cuentas con ellos.
After a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons with them.
20 Cuando se acercó el que recibió los cinco talentos, llevó otros cinco talentos y dijo: Señor, me entregaste cinco talentos. Mira, gané otros cinco talentos.
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 Y su señor le dijo: Bien, esclavo bueno y fiel. Sobre poco fuiste fiel. Te asignaré mucho. Entra en el gozo de tu señor.
His lord said to him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
22 Al acercarse también el [que recibió] los dos talentos, dijo: Señor, me entregaste dos talentos. Mira, gané otros dos talentos.
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 Su señor le dijo: Bien, esclavo bueno y fiel. Sobre poco fuiste fiel. Te asignaré mucho. Entra en el gozo de tu señor.
His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
24 Al acercarse también el que recibió un talento, dijo: Señor, supe que tú eres un hombre duro, que cosechas donde no sembraste y recoges donde no esparciste.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strewed:
25 Me atemoricé, fui y escondí tu talento en la tierra. Mira, tienes lo tuyo.
And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: see, there you have that is yours.
26 Pero su señor le respondió: Esclavo malo y negligente. ¿Sabías que cosecho donde no sembré y recojo donde no esparcí?
His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 Por tanto debiste llevar mi dinero a los banqueros, y al regresar yo habría recibido lo mío con intereses.
You should therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 Quítenle, pues, el talento, y denlo al que tiene los diez talentos.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him which has ten talents.
29 Porque a todo el que tiene se le dará y tendrá en abundancia. Pero al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene se le quitará.
For to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
30 Echen en la oscuridad de afuera al esclavo inútil. Allí será el llanto y el crujido de los dientes.
And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 Cuando el Hijo del Hombre venga en su gloria, y todos los ángeles con Él, se sentará en su trono de gloria.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
32 Se reunirán delante de Él todas las naciones. Apartará [los] unos de [los] otros como el pastor separa las ovejas de las cabras:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
33 Pondrá las ovejas a su derecha y las cabras a su izquierda.
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Entonces el Rey dirá a los que estén a su derecha: ¡Vengan, benditos de mi Padre, hereden el reino preparado para ustedes desde la fundación del mundo!
Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 Porque tuve hambre y me dieron de comer, tuve sed y me dieron de beber, fui forastero y me acogieron,
For I was an hungered, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 [estuve] desnudo y me vistieron, estuve enfermo y me visitaron, estaba en prisión y fueron a verme.
Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37 Entonces los justos le responderán: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento y te sustentamos, o sediento y te dimos de beber?
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you an hungered, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?
38 ¿Cuándo te vimos forastero y te acogimos, o desnudo y te vestimos?
When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you?
39 ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel y te visitamos?
Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came to you?
40 El Rey les responderá: En verdad les digo. Por cuanto hicieron [esas cosas] a uno de mis hermanos más pequeños, [las] hicieron a Mí.
And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
41 También dirá a los de su izquierda: ¡Apártense de Mí, malditos! ¡[Vayan] al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles! (aiōnios )
Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios )
42 Porque tuve hambre y no me dieron de comer, tuve sed y no me dieron de beber,
For I was an hungered, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
43 fui forastero y no me acogieron, estuve desnudo y no me vistieron, enfermo y en prisión, y no me visitaron.
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
44 Entonces ellos responderán: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, sediento, forastero, desnudo, enfermo o en prisión, y no te servimos?
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you an hungered, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?
45 Y les responderá: En verdad les digo. Por cuanto no [lo] hicieron a uno de estos más pequeños, tampoco [lo] hicieron a Mí.
Then shall he answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
46 Éstos irán al castigo eterno, y los justos a la vida eterna. (aiōnios )
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (aiōnios )
