PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Entonces será semejante el reyno de los cielos á diez vírgenes, que tomando sus lámparas, saliéron á recibir al Esposo y á la esposa.
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
1 Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἵτινες λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου.
2 Mas las cinco de ellas eran fátuas, y las cinco prudentes:
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
2 πέντε δὲ ἦσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν φρόνιμοι καὶ αἱ πέντε μωραί.
3 Y las cinco fátuas, habiendo tomado sus lámparas, no llevaron consigo aceyte.
3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
3 αἵτινες μωραὶ λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας ἑαυτῶν οὐκ ἔλαβον μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν ἔλαιον·
4 Mas las prudentes tomáron aceyte en sus vasijas juntamente con las lámparas.
4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
4 αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἔλαβον ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων αὐτῶν.
5 Y tardándose el Esposo, comenzaron á cabecear, y se durmiéron todas.
5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
5 χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευδον.
6 Quando á la media noche se oyó gritar: Mirad que viene el Esposo, salid á recibirle.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’
6 μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς κραυγὴ γέγονεν· ἰδοὺ ὁ νυμφίος ἔρχεται, ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ.
7 Entonces se levantáron todas aquellas vírgenes, y aderezáron sus lámparas.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
7 τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας αὐτῶν.
8 Y dixéron las fátuas á las prudentes: Dadnos de vuestro aceyte, porque nuestras lámparas se apagan.
8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
8 αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπον· δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται.
9 Respondieron las prudentes, diciendo: No, porque tal vez no alcanze para nosotras y para vosotras; id antes á los que venden, y comprad para vosotras.
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.’
9 ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι λέγουσαι· μήποτε οὐκ ἀρκέσει ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε δὲ μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς.
10 Y mientras que ellas fuéron á comprarlo, vino el Esposo: y las que estaban apercibidas, entráron con él á las bodas, y fué cerrada la puerta.
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.
10 ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι ἦλθεν ὁ νυμφίος καὶ αἱ ἕτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα.
11 Al fin viniéron también las otras vírgenes diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos.
11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’
11 ὕστερον δὲ ἔρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι λέγουσαι· κύριε κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν.
12 Mas él respondió, y dixo: En verdad os digo, que no os conozco.
12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
12 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς.
13 Velad pues, porque no sabéis el día, ni la hora.
13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
13 γρηγορεῖτε οὖν, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν ἡμέραν οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.
14 Porque así es, como un hombre, que al partirse lejos, llamó á sus siervos y les entregó sus bienes:
14 “For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.
14 Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ἀποδημῶν ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ἰδίους δούλους καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ,
15 Y dió al uno cinco talentos, y al otro dos, y al otro dió uno, á cada uno según su capacidad, y se partió luego.
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.
15 καὶ ᾧ μὲν ἔδωκε πέντε τάλαντα, ᾧ δὲ δύο, ᾧ δὲ ἕν, ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν εὐθέως.
16 El que había recibido los cinco talentos, se fué á negociar con ellos, y ganó otros cinco,
16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
16 πορευθεὶς δὲ ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν εἰργάσατο ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα.
17 Asímismo el que había recibido dos, ganó otros dos.
17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.
17 ὡσαύτως καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο ἐκέρδησε καὶ αὐτὸς ἄλλα δύο.
18 Mas el que había recibido uno, fué y cavó en la tierra, y escondió allí el dinero de su señor.
18 But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s money.
18 ὁ δὲ τὸ ἓν λαβὼν ἀπελθὼν ὤρυξεν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ ἀπέκρυψε τὸ ἀργύριον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ.
19 Despues de largo tiempo vino el señor de aquellos siervos, y los llamó á cuentas.
19 “Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.
19 μετὰ δὲ χρόνον πολὺν ἔρχεται ὁ κύριος τῶν δούλων ἐκείνων καὶ συναίρει μετ᾽ αὐτῶν λόγον.
20 Y llegando el que había recibido los cinco talentos, presentó otros cinco talentos, diciendo: Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste, he aquí otros cinco he ganado ademas.
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.’
20 καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ τὰ πέντε τάλαντα λαβὼν προσήνεγκεν ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα λέγων· κύριε, πέντε τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἴδε ἄλλα πέντε τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς.
21 Su señor le dixo: Muy bien, siervo bueno y fiel; porque fuiste fiel en lo poco, te pondré sobre lo mucho, éntra en el gózo de tu señor.
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.’
21 ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ· εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.
22 Y se llegó también el que había recibido los dos talentos, y dixo: Señor, dos talentos me entregáste, aquí tienes otros dos que he ganado.
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.’
22 προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο τάλαντα λαβὼν εἶπε· κύριε, δύο τάλαντά μοι παρέδωκας· ἴδε ἄλλα δύο τάλαντα ἐκέρδησα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς.
23 Su señor le dixo: Bien está, siervo bueno y fiel; porque fuiste fiel sobre lo poco, te pondré sóbre lo mucho, entra en el gózo de tu señor.
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.’
23 ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ· εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ! ἐπὶ ὀλίγα ἦς πιστός, ἐπὶ πολλῶν σε καταστήσω· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν χαρὰν τοῦ κυρίου σου.
24 Y llegando también el que había recibido un talento, dixo: Señor, sé que eres un hombre de récia condición; siegas en donde no sembraste, y allegas en donde no esparciste:
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.
24 προσελθὼν δὲ καὶ ὁ τὸ ἓν τάλαντον εἰληφὼς εἶπε· κύριε· ἔγνων σε ὅτι σκληρὸς εἶ ἄνθρωπος, θερίζων ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρας καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας·
25 Y temiendo, me fuí, y escondí tu talento en tierra: he aquí tienes lo que es tuyo.
25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
25 καὶ φοβηθεὶς ἀπελθὼν ἔκρυψα τὸ τάλαντόν σου ἐν τῇ γῇ· ἴδε ἔχεις τὸ σόν.
26 Y respondiendo su señor, le dixo: Siervo malo y perezoso, sabías que siego en donde no siembro, y que allégo en donde no he esparcido:
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.
26 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· πονηρὲ δοῦλε καὶ ὀκνηρέ! ᾔδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα!
27 Pues debiste haber dado mi dinero á los banqueros, y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido ciertamente con usura, lo que era mio.
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.
27 ἔδει οὖν σε βαλεῖν τὸ ἀργύριόν μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ.
28 Quitadle pues el talento, y dádselo al que tiene diez talentos.
28 Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
28 ἄρατε οὖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον καὶ δότε τῷ ἔχοντι τὰ δέκα τάλαντα.
29 Porque será dado á todo el que tuviére, y tendrá mas: mas al que no tuviére, le será quitado aún lo que parece 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.
29 τῷ γὰρ ἔχοντι παντὶ δοθήσεται καὶ περισσευθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
30 Y al siervo inútil echadlo en las tinieblas exteriores: allí será el llorar, y el cruxir de dientes.
30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
30 καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
31 Y quando viniére el Hijo del hombre en su magestad, y todos los Angeles con él, se sentará entónces sóbre el throno de su magestad:
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.
31 Ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι ἄγγελοι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, τότε καθίσει ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ,
32 Y serán todas las gentes ayuntadas ante él, y apartará los unos de los otros, como el pastor aparta 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.
32 καὶ συναχθήσεται ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ ἀλλήλων ὥσπερ ὁ ποιμὴν ἀφορίζει τὰ πρόβατα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐρίφων,
33 Y pondrá las ovejas á su derecha, y los cabritos á la izquierda.
33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
33 καὶ στήσει τὰ μὲν πρόβατα ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ ἐρίφια ἐξ εὐωνύμων.
34 Entonces dirá el Rey á los que estarán á su derecha: Venid benditos de mi Padre, poseed el reyno que os está preparado desde el establecimiento 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;
34 τότε ἐρεῖ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ· δεῦτε οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ πατρός μου, κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.
35 Porque tuve hambre, y me dísteis de comer: tuve sed, y me dísteis de beber: era huésped, y me hospedásteis:
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.
35 ἐπείνασα γάρ, καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα, καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἤμην, καὶ συνηγάγετέ με,
36 Desnudo, y me cubrísteis: enfermo, y me visitásteis: estaba en la cárcel, y me vinísteis á ver.
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.’
36 γυμνός, καὶ περιεβάλετέ με, ἠσθένησα, καὶ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με, ἐν φυλακῇ ἤμην, καὶ ἤλθετε πρός με.
37 Entonces le responderán los justos, y dirán: Señor, ¿quándo te vimos hambriento, y te dimos de comer: ó 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?
37 τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ οἱ δίκαιοι λέγοντες· κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα καὶ ἐθρέψαμεν, ἢ διψῶντα καὶ ἐποτίσαμεν;
38 ¿Y quándo te vimos huésped, y te hospedamos: ó desnudo, y te vestímos?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
38 πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ξένον καὶ συνηγάγομεν, ἢ γυμνὸν καὶ περιεβάλομεν;
39 ¿O quándo te vimos enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y te fuimos á ver?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
39 πότε δέ σε εἴδομεν ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ ἤλθομεν πρός σε;
40 Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: En verdad os digo, que en quanto lo hicísteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí lo hicísteis.
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.’
40 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων, ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.
41 Entónces dirá también á los que estarán á la izquierda: Apartáos de mí malditos al fuego eterno, que está aparejado para el diablo y para sus ángeles.
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;
41 τότε ἐρεῖ καὶ τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων· πορεύεσθε ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ οἱ κατηραμένοι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ.
42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me dísteis de comer: tuve sed, y no me dísteis 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;
42 ἐπείνασα γάρ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα, καὶ οὐκ ἐποτίσατέ με,
43 Era huésped, y no me hospedásteis: desnudo, y no me cubrísteis: enfermo, y en la cárcel, y no me visitásteis.
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.’
43 ξένος ἤμην, καὶ οὐ συνηγάγετέ με, γυμνός, καὶ οὐ περιεβάλετέ με, ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με.
44 Entonces ellos también le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿quándo te vimos hambriento, ó sediento, ó huésped, ó desnudo, ó enférmo, ó en la cárcel, y no te servimos?
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?’
44 τότε ἀποκριθήσονται αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτοὶ λέγοντες· κύριε, πότε σε εἴδομεν πεινῶντα ἢ διψῶντα ἢ ξένον ἢ γυμνὸν ἢ ἀσθενῆ ἢ ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ οὐ διηκονήσαμέν σοι;
45 Entónces les responderá, diciendo: en verdad os digo, que en quanto no lo hicísteis á uno de estos pequeñitos, ni á mí lo hicísteis.
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.’
45 τότε ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον οὐκ ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων, οὐδὲ ἐμοὶ ἐποιήσατε.
46 E irán estos al suplicio eterno; y los justos á la vida eterna.
46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
46 καὶ ἀπελεύσονται οὗτοι εἰς κόλασιν αἰώνιον, οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

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).

  1. Commentary 25:1 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XLIII)

    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.
