Mateo 25

BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 «Entonces el Reino de los Cielos será semejante a diez vírgenes, que, con su lámpara en la mano, salieron al encuentro del novio.	1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2 Cinco de ellas eran necias, y cinco prudentes.	2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3 Las necias, en efecto, al tomar sus lámparas, no se proveyeron de aceite;	3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4 las prudentes, en cambio, junto con sus lámparas tomaron aceite en las alcuzas.	4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5 Como el novio tardara, se adormilaron todas y se durmieron.	5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Mas a media noche se oyó un grito: “¡Ya está aquí el novio! ¡Salid a su encuentro!”	6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7 Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron y arreglaron sus lámparas.	7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 Y las necias dijeron a las prudentes: “Dadnos de vuestro aceite, que nuestras lámparas se apagan.”	8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9 Pero las prudentes replicaron: “No, no sea que no alcance para nosotras y para vosotras; es mejor que vayáis donde los vendedores y os lo compréis.”	9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 Mientras iban a comprarlo, llegó el novio, y las que estaban preparadas entraron con él al banquete de boda, y se cerró la puerta.	10 Now whilst 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 llegaron las otras vírgenes diciendo: “¡Señor, señor, ábrenos!”	11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 Pero él respondió: “En verdad os digo que no os conozco.”	12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13 Velad, pues, porque no sabéis ni el día ni la hora.	13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14 «Es también como un hombre que, al ausentarse, llamó a sus siervos y les encomendó su hacienda:	14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 a uno dio cinco talentos, a otro dos y a otro uno, a cada cual según su capacidad; y se ausentó.	15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.
16 Enseguida, el que había recibido cinco talentos se puso a negociar con ellos y ganó otros cinco.	16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17 Igualmente el que había recibido dos ganó otros dos.	17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18 En cambio el que había recibido uno se fue, cavó un hoyo en tierra y escondió el dinero de su señor.	18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 Al cabo de mucho tiempo, vuelve el señor de aquellos siervos y ajusta cuentas con ellos.	19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20 Llegándose el que había recibido cinco talentos, presentó otros cinco, diciendo: “Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste; aquí tienes otros cinco que he ganado.”	20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.
21 Su señor le dijo: “¡Bien, siervo bueno y fiel!; en lo poco has sido fiel, al frente de lo mucho te pondré; entra en el gozo de tu señor.”	21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 Llegándose también el de los dos talentos dijo: “Señor, dos talentos me entregaste; aquí tienes otros dos que he ganado.”	22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.
23 Su señor le dijo: “¡Bien, siervo bueno y fiel!; en lo poco has sido fiel, al frente de lo mucho te pondré; entra en el gozo de tu señor.”	23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Llegándose también el que había recibido un talento dijo: “Señor, sé que eres un hombre duro, que cosechas donde no sembraste y recoges donde no esparciste.	24 But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
25 Por eso me dio miedo, y fui y escondí en tierra tu talento. Mira, aquí tienes lo que es tuyo.”	25 And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26 Mas su señor le respondió: “Siervo malo y perezoso, sabías que yo cosecho donde no sembré y recojo donde no esparcí;	26 And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 debías, pues, haber entregado mi dinero a los banqueros, y así, al volver yo, habría cobrado lo mío con los intereses.	27 Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 Quitadle, por tanto, su talento y dádselo al que tiene los diez talentos.	28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29 Porque a todo el que tiene, se le dará y le sobrará; pero al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene se le quitará.	29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away.
30 Y a ese siervo inútil, echadle a las tinieblas de fuera. Allí será el llanto y el rechinar de dientes.”	30 And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 «Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga en su gloria acompañado de todos sus ángeles, entonces se sentará en su trono de gloria.	31 And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
32 Serán congregadas delante de él todas las naciones, y él separará a los unos de los otros, como el pastor separa las ovejas de los cabritos.	32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
33 Pondrá las ovejas a su derecha, y los cabritos a su izquierda.	33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34 Entonces dirá el Rey a los de su derecha: “Venid, benditos de mi Padre, recibid la herencia del Reino preparado para vosotros desde la creación del mundo.	34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you 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;	35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 estaba desnudo, y me vestisteis; enfermo, y me visitasteis; en la cárcel, y vinisteis a verme.”	36 Naked, and you covered me: 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 dimos de comer; o sediento, y te dimos de beber?	37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 ¿Cuándo te vimos forastero, y te acogimos; o desnudo, y te vestimos?	38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39 ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel, y fuimos a verte?”	39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40 Y el Rey les dirá: “En verdad os digo que cuanto hicisteis a unos de estos hermanos míos más pequeños, a mí me lo hicisteis.”	40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
41 Entonces dirá también a los de su izquierda: “Apartaos de mí, malditos, al fuego eterno preparado para el Diablo y sus ángeles.	41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;	42 For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.
43 era forastero, y no me acogisteis; estaba desnudo, y no me vestisteis; enfermo y en la cárcel, y no me visitasteis.”	43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
44 Entonces dirán también éstos: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento o sediento o forastero o desnudo o enfermo o en la cárcel, y no te asistimos?”	44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
45 Y él entonces les responderá: “En verdad os digo que cuanto dejasteis de hacer con uno de estos más pequeños, también conmigo dejasteis de hacerlo.”	45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
46 E irán éstos a un castigo eterno, y los justos a una vida eterna».	46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
