1 »En el reino de los cielos sucederá lo que les sucedió a las diez muchachas que tomaron sus lámparas y salieron a recibir al novio.
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Cinco de ellas fueron sabias y llenaron bien las lámparas de aceite, mientras que las otras cinco, insensatas, no lo hicieron.
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3 Not in this translation
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4 Not in this translation
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 »Como el novio se demoraba, todas se quedaron dormidas.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 Alrededor de la media noche un grito las despertó: “¡Allí viene el novio! ¡Salgan a recibirlo!”.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
7 Las muchachas saltaron a arreglar las lámparas,
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 y las cinco que casi no tenían aceite suplicaron a las otras que compartieran con ellas el que tenían, porque se les estaban apagando las lámparas.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 Las otras, las prudentes, respondieron: “No tenemos suficiente aceite para darles. Vayan a la tienda y compren”.
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
10 Así lo hicieron. Pero al regresar encontraron la puerta cerrada, pues el novio había llegado ya y había entrado a la boda con las muchachas que estaban listas con sus lámparas.
10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
11 “Señor, ábrenos”, gritaron, tocando a la puerta, las que habían ido a comprar el aceite.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
12 Pero el novio les respondió: “¡No sé quiénes son ustedes! ¡Váyanse!”.
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 »Por lo tanto, manténganse vigilantes, porque no saben cuándo ni a qué hora he de regresar.
13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
14 »Hubo una vez un hombre que juntó a sus siervos; antes de partir hacia otro país, y les prestó dinero para que lo invirtieran en su nombre durante su ausencia.
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
15 A uno le entregó cincuenta mil pesos, a otro veinte mil y a otro diez mil, de acuerdo con las capacidades que había observado en cada uno de ellos.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 »El que recibió los cincuenta mil pesos los invirtió inmediatamente en negocios de compraventa y en poco tiempo obtuvo una ganancia de cincuenta mil pesos.
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 El que recibió los veinte mil pesos los invirtió también y ganó veinte mil pesos.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
18 Pero el que recibió los diez mil, cavó en la tierra y escondió el dinero para que estuviera seguro.
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
19 »Después de una ausencia prolongada, el jefe regresó del viaje y los llamó para arreglar cuentas con ellos.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
20 »El que había recibido los cincuenta mil pesos le entregó cien mil.
20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.’
21 El jefe, satisfecho, le dijo: “¡Magnífico! Eres un siervo bueno y fiel. Y ya que fuiste fiel con el poco dinero que te di, te voy a confiar una cantidad mayor. Ven, entra, celebremos tu éxito”.
21 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
22 »El que había recibido los veinte mil presentó su informe: Señor, me diste veinte mil pesos y aquí tienes cuarenta mil.
22 “He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’
23 “¡Estupendo!”, le respondió el jefe. “Eres un siervo bueno y fiel. Y ya que has sido fiel con lo poco que deposité en tus manos, te voy a confiar ahora una cantidad mayor. Ven, entra, celebremos tu éxito”.
23 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24 »Cuando el que había recibido los diez mil pesos se presentó ante el jefe, le dijo: “Señor, como sabía que eres tan duro que te quedarías con cualquier utilidad que yo obtuviera, escondí el dinero. Aquí tienes hasta el último centavo que me diste”.
24 “He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.
25 Not in this translation
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
26 “¡Malvado! ¡Haragán! Si sabías que quería obtener utilidades,
26 “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.
27 por lo menos debías haber puesto el dinero en el banco para que ganara intereses.
27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
28 Quítenle ese dinero y dénselo al que tiene los cien mil pesos,
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 porque el que sabe usar bien lo que recibe, recibirá más y tendrá abundancia; pero al que es infiel se le quitará aun lo poco que tiene.
29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.
30 Echen a este siervo inútil en las tinieblas de afuera. Allí será el llorar y el crujir de dientes”.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
31 »Cuando yo, el Hijo del hombre, venga en todo mi esplendor junto con los ángeles, me sentaré en mi trono de gloria
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
32 y las naciones se reunirán delante de mí. Y las separaré como el pastor separa las ovejas de los cabritos.
32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 A mis ovejas las pondré a la mano derecha; a los cabritos, a la izquierda.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 »Entonces yo, el Rey, diré a los de mi derecha: “Vengan, benditos de mi Padre. Entren al reino que está preparado para ustedes desde la fundación del mundo,
34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, 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 alojaron en sus casas;
35 for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.
36 estuve desnudo y me vistieron; enfermo y en prisión, y me visitaron”.
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
37 »Y los justos me preguntarán: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos con hambre y te alimentamos, o sediento y te dimos de beber?
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?
38 ¿Cuándo te vimos forastero y te alojamos en casa, o desnudo y te vestimos?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
39 ¿Y cuándo te vimos enfermo o en prisión y te visitamos?”.
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
40 »Yo, el Rey, les responderé: “Todo lo que hicieron a mis hermanos necesitados a mí me lo hicieron”.
40 “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
41 »Entonces me volveré a los de la izquierda y les diré: “¡Apártense de mí, malditos, al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo y sus demonios.
41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
42 Porque tuve hambre y no me alimentaron; sed y no me dieron de beber;
42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
43 cuando fui forastero, me negaron hospitalidad; estuve desnudo y no me vistieron; enfermo y en prisión, y no me visitaron”.
43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
44 »Ellos responderán: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, sediento, forastero, desnudo, enfermo o en prisión y no te ayudamos?”.
44 “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’
45 »Y les responderé: “Cada vez que se negaron a ayudar a uno de mis hermanos necesitados, se estaban negando a ayudarme”.
45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’
46 »Irán, por tanto, al castigo eterno, mientras que los justos entrarán a la vida eterna».
46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Ye who were present yesterday remember my promise; which with the Lord's assistance is to be made good to-day, not to you only, but to the many others also who have come together. It is no easy question, who the ten virgins are, of whom five are wise, and five foolish.

"Then shall the kingdom of Heaven," He saith, "be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. But five of them were wise, and the other five foolish, which took not," He saith, "oil." "Then, while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

And besides; "the eternal fire which the Father has prepared for the devil and his angels," -- they ought to show of which of those Æons that are above it is the image; for it, too, is reckoned part of the creation.
For the truth in the gospel promises to the saints and the faithful that they will be equal to the angels of God; and it is also promised them that they will "go away into life eternal." But if we are certain that we shall never lapse from eternal felicity, while they are not certain, then we shall not be …

For it will be no longer, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return," and thou "tillest the ground," and those former words, that will be said to us; but what is far more grievous than these, the "outer darkness," the bonds that may not be burst, the venomous worm, the "gnashing of teeth;" and this with great reason.
