Mateo 25
1 Ang kaharian ng langit ay magiging katulad ng sampung birhen na nagdala ng kanilang mga ilawan at pumuntang sumalubong sa lalaking ikakasal.
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 Ang lima sa kanila ay hangal at ang lima ay matatalino.
Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
3 Sapagkat noong dinala ng limang hangal na birhen ang kanilang mga ilawan, hindi sila nagdala ng karagdagang langis.
The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
4 Ngunit yung limang matatalinong birhen ay nagdala ng mga langis sa lalagyan kasama ng kanilang ilawan.
while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
5 Ngayon habang naantala ang lalaking ikakasal, lahat sila ay inantok at nakatulog.
As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
6 Ngunit noong hating gabi na ay may sumigaw, 'Tingnan ninyo ang lalaking ikakasal! Pumunta na kayo at salubungin siya.'
But at midnight a shout was raised – ‘The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7 Kaya't tumayo ang lahat ng mga birhen at inayos ang kanilang mga ilawan.
Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
8 Sabi ng mga hangal sa mga matatalino, 'Bigyan ninyo kami ng inyong langis sapagkat nauubusan na ang aming ilawan.'
and the foolish said to the prudent ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 Ngunit sumagot at sinabi ng mga matatalino, 'Dahil hindi na sapat ang mga ito para sa amin at sa inyo, pumunta nalang kayo doon sa mga nagbebenta at bumili kayo para sa inyong mga sarili.'
But the prudent ones answered ‘No, There may not be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy for yourselves.’
10 Habang umalis sila upang bumili, dumating ang lalaking ikakasal at ang mga nakahanda na ay sumama sa kaniya sa handaan ng kasal at isinara ang pintuan.
But while they were on their way to buy it, the groom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.
11 Pagkatapos nito ang ibang mga birhen ay dumating din at nagsabi, 'Panginoon, panginoon, pagbuksan ninyo kami.'
Afterward the other bridesmaids came. ‘Sir, Sir,’ they said, ‘open the door to us!’
12 Ngunit sumagot siya at nagsabi, 'Totoo itong sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi ko kayo kilala.'
But the groom answered ‘I tell you, I do not know you.’
13 Kaya kailangan kayong magbantay, sapagkat hindi ninyo alam ang araw o ang oras.
Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 Sapagkat ito ay katulad ng isang taong maglalakbay sa ibang bansa. Tinawag niya ang sarili niyang mga utusan at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang kaniyang kayamanan.
“For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
15 Ang isa sa kanila ay binigyan niya ng limang talento, ang isa naman ay binigyan niya ng dalawa at ang isa naman ay binigyan niya ng isang talento. Nakatanggap ang bawat isa ayon sa kaniya-kaniyang kakayahan, at ang taong iyon ay pumunta sa kaniyang paglalakbay.
He gave five bags of gold to one, two to another, and one bag to a third, in proportion to the ability of each. Then he set out on his travels.
16 Agad-agad ang nakatanggap ng limang talento ay umalis at ipinuhunan niya ang mga ito at nagkaroon pa siya ng limang talento.
The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
17 Ganoon din ang nakatanggap ng dalawang talento, nagkaroon din ng dalawa pa.
So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
18 Ngunit ang utusan na nakatanggap ng isang talento ay umalis, naghukay sa lupa at itinago ang pera ng kaniyang amo.
But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 Pagkalipas ng matagal na panahon, bumalik ang amo ng mga utusan at nakipagsulit sa kanila.
After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
20 Dumating ang utusan na nakatanggap ng limang talento at nagdala ng lima pang talento, at sinabi niya, “Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng limang talento. Tingnan mo, nagkaroon ako ng lima pang talento.'
The servant who had received the five bags of gold came up and brought five bags more. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold; look, I have made another five bags!’
21 Sinabi ng amo sa kaniya, 'Magaling, mabuti at matapat na utusan! Naging tapat ka sa kaunting mga bagay. Gagawin kitang tagapamahala sa maraming bagay. Makibahagi ka sa kagalakan ng iyong amo.'
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
22 Dumating din ang utusan na nakatanggap ng dalawang talento, at sinabi niya, 'Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng dalawang talento. Tingnan mo, nagkaroon ako ng dalawa pang talento.'
Then the one who had received the two bags of gold came up and said ‘Sir, you entrusted me with two bags pounds; look, I have made another two!’
23 Sinabi ng amo sa kaniya, 'Magaling, mabuti at matapat na utusan! Naging tapat ka sa kaunting bagay. Gagawin kitang tagapamahala sa maraming bagay. Makibahagi ka sa kagalakan ng iyong amo.'
‘Well done, good, trustworthy servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!’
24 Pagkatapos nito, ang utusan na nakatanggap ng isang talento ay dumating at nagsabi, 'Panginoon, alam ko na mahigpit kang tao. Gumagapas ka kung saan hindi ka nagtanim, at umaani kung saan hindi ka naghasik.
The man who had received the single bag of gold came up, too, and said ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;
25 Natakot ako, kaya ako ay umalis at itinago ko ang inyong talento sa lupa. Tingnan mo, nandito ang pagmamay-ari mo.'
and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!’
26 Ngunit sumagot ang kaniyang amo at sinabi sa kaniya, 'Ikaw na masama at tamad na utusan, alam mo naman na gumagapas ako kung saan hindi ako nagtanim at umaani kung saan hindi ako naghasik.
‘You lazy, worthless servant!’ was his master’s reply. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather up where I have not winnowed?
27 Kaya ibinigay mo sana ang pera ko sa mga tagabangko, upang sa aking pagdating natanggap ko na may tubo ang aking pera.
Then you ought to have placed my money in the hands of bankers, and I, on my return, should have received my money, with interest.
28 Kaya kunin ninyo ang talento sa kaniya at ibigay ninyo doon sa mayroong sampung talento.
Therefore,’ he continued, ‘take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
29 Sapagkat kung sinuman ang mayroon, mas marami pa ang ibibigay — mas masagana pa. Subalit kung sino ang walang pagmamay-ari, kahit ang nasa sa kaniya ay kukunin pa.
For, to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but, as for him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 Itapon ang walang silbing utusan sa kadiliman sa labas, kung saan mayroong pagtatangis at pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.
As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
31 Pagdating ng Anak ng Tao sa kaniyang kaluwalhatian at kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang mga anghel, uupo siya sa kaniyang marangal na trono.
“When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory;
32 Sa harap niya magtitipon ang lahat ng mga bansa, at pagbubukud-bukurin niya ang mga tao sa isa't isa, katulad ng pastol na hinihiwalay ang tupa at kambing.
and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
33 Ilalagay niya ang mga tupa sa kaniyang kanan ngunit ang mga kambing ay sa kaniyang kaliwa.
placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
34 At sasabihin ng Hari sa mga nasa kanan niya, 'Halikayo, pinagpala kayo ng aking Ama, mamanahin ninyo ang kaharian na inihanda para sa inyo mula pa noong likhain ang mundo.
Then the king will say to those on his right ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter into possession of the kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.
35 Sapagkat ako ay nagutom at binigyan ninyo ako ng pagkain; ako ay nauhaw at binigyan ninyo ako ng inumin; ako ay dayuhan at pinatuloy ninyo ako;
For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes;
36 ako ay hubad at dinamitan ninyo ako, ako ay may sakit at inalagaan ninyo ako; ako ay nasa kulungan at pinuntahan ninyo ako.
when I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.’
37 At sasagot ang mga matuwid at sasabihin, 'Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom at pinakain, o nauhaw at binigyan ng inumin?
Then the righteous will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 at kailan ka namin nakitang dayuhan at pinatuloy ka? O hubad at dinamitan?
When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
39 At kailan ka namin nakita na may sakit, o nakulong at pinuntahan ka namin?'
When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?’
40 At sasagot ang Hari at sasabihin sa kanila, totoo itong sinasabi ko sa inyo, kung ano man ang nagawa ninyo sa mga hamak kong kapatid dito, ginawa ninyo ito sa akin.'
And the king will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my brothers or sisters, however unimportant they seemed, you did it to me.’
41 At sasabihin niya sa mga nasa kaniyang kaliwa, 'Lumisan kayo sa akin, kayong sinumpa, sa apoy na walang hanggan na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kaniyang mga anghel, (aiōnios g166)
Then he will say to those on his left ‘Go from my presence, accursed, into the permanent fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 sapagkat ako ay nagutom ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng pagkain; nauhaw ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako binigyan ng inumin;
For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
43 ako ay isang dayuhan ngunit hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy, hubo't hubad ngunit hindi ninyo ako dinamitan, may sakit at nasa kulungan, ngunit hindi ninyo ako inalagaan.
when I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.’
44 At sasagot din sila at sasabihin, “Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom, o nauhaw, o dayuhan, o hubad, o may sakit, o nasa kulungan, at hindi kayo pinaglingkuran?'
Then they, in their turn, will answer ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?’
45 At sasagot siya sa kanila at magsabi, 'Totoo itong sasabihin ko sa inyo, anumang hindi ninyo ginawa sa mga pinakahamak na ito, hindi ninyo ginawa sa akin.'
And then he will reply ‘I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however unimportant, you failed to do it to me.’
