Mateo 25 Free Bible Version (Versión Biblia Libre en inglés)
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 “The kingdom of heaven is like ten girls, who took their lamps with them to go and meet the bridegroom.
1 ENTONCES el reino de los cielos será semejante á diez vírgenes, que tomando sus lámparas, salieron á recibir al esposo.
2 Five were foolish, and five were wise.
2 Y las cinco de ellas eran prudentes, y las cinco fatuas.
3 The foolish girls took their lamps but didn't take any oil with them,
3 Las que eran fatuas, tomando sus lámparas, no tomaron consigo aceite;
4 while the wise took jars of oil with them as well as their lamps.
4 Mas las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus vasos, [juntamente] con sus lámparas.
5 The bridegroom took a long time and all the girls became drowsy and fell asleep.
5 Y tardándose el esposo, cabecearon todas, y se durmieron.
6 At midnight the shout came, ‘Look, the bridegroom's here! Come out and meet him!’
6 Y á la media noche fué oído un clamor: He aquí, el esposo viene; salid á recibirle.
7 All the girls got up and trimmed the wicks of their lamps. The foolish girls said to the wise ones,
7 Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron, y aderezaron sus lámparas.
8 ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise girls replied,
8 Y las fatuas dijeron á las prudentes: Dadnos de vuestro aceite; porque nuestras lámparas se apagan.
9 ‘No, because otherwise there won't be enough for both you and for us. Go to the shopkeepers and buy some oil for yourselves.’
9 Mas las prudentes respondieron, diciendo: Porque no nos falte á nosotras y á vosotras, id antes á los que venden, y comprad para vosotras.
10 While they went to buy oil, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was locked shut.
10 Y mientras que ellas iban á comprar, vino el esposo; y las que estaban apercibidas, entraron con él á las bodas; y se cerró la puerta.
11 The other girls came later. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they called, ‘Open the door for us!’
11 Y después vinieron también las otras vírgenes, diciendo: Señor, Señor, ábrenos.
12 But he answered, ‘I tell you the truth: I don't know you.’
12 Mas respondiendo él, dijo: De cierto os digo, [que] no os conozco.
13 So stay alert, for you don't know the day, or the hour.
13 Velad, pues, porque no sabéis el día ni la hora en que el Hijo del hombre ha de venir.
14 It's like a man who went away on a trip. He called in his servants and entrusted them with what he owned.
14 Porque el reino de los cielos [es] como un hombre que partiéndose lejos llamó á sus siervos, y les entregó sus bienes.
15 To one of them he gave five talents, to another he gave two, and to another one, according to their different abilities. Then he left.
15 Y á éste dió cinco talentos, y al otro dos, y al otro uno: á cada uno conforme á su facultad; y luego se partió lejos.
16 Immediately the one with five talents went and invested them in a business, and made another five talents.
16 Y el que había recibido cinco talentos se fué, y granjeó con ellos, é hizo otros cinco talentos.
17 In the same way the one with two talents made another two.
17 Asimismo el que [había recibido] dos, ganó también él otros dos.
18 But the man who'd received the one talent went off and dug a hole and hid his master's money.
18 Mas el que había recibido uno, fué y cavó en la tierra, y escondió el dinero de su señor.
19 A long time later the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
19 Y después de mucho tiempo, vino el señor de aquellos siervos, é hizo cuentas con ellos.
20 The one with five talents came and presented the other five talents. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘You gave me five talents. Look, I've made a profit of five talents.’
20 Y llegando el que había recibido cinco talentos, trajo otros cinco talentos, diciendo: Señor, cinco talentos me entregaste; he aquí otros cinco talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
21 His master said to him, ‘You've done well—you are a good, faithful servant. You have proved yourself trustworthy over small things, so now I'm placing you in charge over many things. Be happy because I'm really pleased with you!’
21 Y su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
22 The one with two talents also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘You gave me two talents. Look, I've made a profit of two talents.’
22 Y llegando también el que había recibido dos talentos, dijo: Señor, dos talentos me entregaste; he aquí otros dos talentos he ganado sobre ellos.
23 His master said to him, ‘You've done well—you are a good, faithful servant. You have proved trustworthy over small things, so now I'm placing you in charge over many things. Be happy because I'm really pleased with you!’
23 Su señor le dijo: Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco has sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré: entra en el gozo de tu señor.
24 Then the man with one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I know that you're a hard man. You reap where you didn't sow, and you harvest crops that you didn't plant.
24 Y llegando también el que había recibido un talento, dijo: Señor, te conocía que eres hombre duro, que siegas donde no sembraste, y recoges donde no esparciste;
25 So since I was afraid of you I went and buried your talent in the ground. Look, you can have back what belongs to you.’
25 Y tuve miedo, y fuí, y escondí tu talento en la tierra: he aquí tienes lo que es tuyo.
26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you think I reap where I don't sow, and harvest crops I didn't plant,
26 Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Malo y negligente siervo, sabías que siego donde no sembré y [que] recojo donde no esparcí;
27 then you should have deposited my silver in the bank so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest.
27 Por tanto te convenía dar mi dinero á los banqueros, y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido lo que es mío con usura.
28 Take the talent away from him, and give it to the one with ten talents.
28 Quitadle pues el talento, y dadlo al que tiene diez talentos.
29 For everyone who has will be given even more; and everyone who doesn't have anything, even what they have will be taken away from them.
29 Porque á cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado, y tendrá más; y al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado.
30 Now throw this useless servant out into the darkness where there'll be crying and gnashing of teeth.’
30 Y al siervo inútil echadle en las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
31 But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his majestic throne.
31 Y cuando el Hijo del hombre venga en su gloria, y todos los santos ángeles con él, entonces se sentará sobre el trono de su gloria.
32 Everyone will be brought before him. He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
32 Y serán reunidas delante de él todas las gentes: y los apartará los unos de los otros, como aparta el pastor las ovejas de los cabritos.
33 He'll place the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
33 Y pondrá las ovejas á su derecha, y los cabritos á la izquierda.
34 Then the king will say to the ones on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, and inherit the kingdom that's been prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
34 Entonces el Rey dirá á los que [estarán] á su derecha: Venid, benditos de mi Padre, heredad el reino preparado para vosotros desde la fundación del mundo:
35 For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in.
35 Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y me disteis de beber; fuí huésped, y me recogisteis;
36 I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’
36 Desnudo, y me cubristeis; enfermo, y me visitasteis; estuve en la cárcel, y vinisteis á mí.
37 Then those who are right will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you a drink?
37 Entonces los justos le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y te sustentamos? ¿ó sediento, y te dimos de beber?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?
38 ¿Y cuándo te vimos huésped, y te recogimos? ¿ó desnudo, y te cubrimos?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit you?’
39 ¿O cuándo te vimos enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y vinimos á ti?
40 The king will tell them, ‘I tell you the truth: whatever you did for one of these least important brothers of mine you did for me.’
40 Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo [que] en cuanto lo hicisteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí lo hicisteis.
41 He'll also say to those on his left, ‘Go away from me, you who are doomed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!
41 Entonces dirá también á los que [estarán] á la izquierda: Apartaos de mí, malditos, al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo y para sus ángeles:
42 For I was hungry and you didn't give me anything to eat. I was thirsty and you didn't give me a drink.
42 Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;
43 I was a stranger and you didn't invite me in. I was naked and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you didn't visit me.’
43 Fuí huésped, y no me recogisteis; desnudo, y no me cubristeis; enfermo, y en la cárcel, y no me visitasteis.
44 Then they will also answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't look after you?’
44 Entonces también ellos le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, ó sediento, ó huésped, ó desnudo, ó enfermo, ó en la cárcel, y no te servimos?
45 Then he will tell them, ‘I tell you the truth: whatever you didn't do for one of these least important brothers of mine you didn't do for me.’
45 Entonces les responderá, diciendo: De cierto os digo [que] en cuanto no lo hicisteis á uno de estos pequeñitos, ni á mí lo hicisteis.
46 They will go away into eternal condemnation, but those who are good will enter eternal life.”
46 E irán éstos al tormento eterno, y los justos á la vida eterna.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.
