São Mateus, 25
1. “Então, o Reino dos Céus será semelhante a dez virgens, que saíram com suas lâmpadas ao encontro do esposo.*
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 dentre elas eram tolas e cinco, prudentes.
2. And five of them were foolish, and five wise.
3. Tomando suas lâmpadas, as tolas não levaram óleo consigo.
3. But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:
4. As prudentes, todavia, levaram de reserva vasos de óleo junto com as lâmpadas.
4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
5. Tardando o esposo, cochilaram todas e adormeceram.
5. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.
6. No meio da noite, porém, ouviu-se um clamor: Eis o esposo, ide-lhe ao encontro.
6. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.
7. E as virgens levantaram-se todas e prepararam suas lâmpadas.
7. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8. As tolas disseram às prudentes: Dai-nos de vosso óleo, porque nossas lâmpadas se estão apagando.
8. And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
9. As prudentes responderam: Não temos o suficiente para nós e para vós; é preferível irdes aos vendedores, a fim de o comprar para vós.
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. Ora, enquanto foram comprar, veio o esposo. As que estavam preparadas entraram com ele para a sala das bodas e foi fechada a porta.
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. Mais tarde, chegaram também as outras e diziam: Senhor, senhor, abre-nos!
11. But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.
12. Mas ele respondeu: Em verdade vos digo: não vos conheço!
12. But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.
13. Vigiai, pois, porque não sabeis nem o dia nem a hora.”
13. Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.
14. “Será também como um homem que, tendo de viajar, reuniu seus servos e lhes confiou seus bens.
14. For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15. A um deu cinco talentos; a outro, dois; e a outro, um, segundo a capacidade de cada um. Depois partiu.
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. Logo em seguida, o que recebeu cinco talentos negociou com eles; fê-los produzir, e ganhou outros cinco.
16. And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.
17. Do mesmo modo, o que recebeu dois, ganhou outros dois.
17. And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.
18. Mas, o que recebeu apenas um, foi cavar a terra e escondeu o dinheiro de seu senhor.
18. But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19. Muito tempo depois, o senhor daqueles servos voltou e pediu-lhes contas.
19. But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
20. O que recebeu cinco talentos aproximou-se e apresentou outros cinco: ‘Senhor’ – disse-lhe –, ‘confiaste-me cinco talentos; eis aqui outros cinco que ganhei’.
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. Disse-lhe seu senhor: ‘Muito bem, servo bom e fiel; já que foste fiel no pouco, eu te confiarei muito. Vem regozijar-te com teu senhor’.
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. O que recebeu dois talentos adiantou-se também e disse: ‘Senhor, confiaste-me dois talentos; eis aqui os dois outros que lucrei’.
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. Disse-lhe seu senhor: ‘Muito bem, servo bom e fiel; já que foste fiel no pouco, eu te confiarei muito. Vem regozijar-te com teu senhor’.
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. Veio, por fim, o que recebeu só um talento: ‘Senhor, disse-lhe, sabia que és um homem duro, que colhes onde não semeaste e recolhes onde não espalhaste.
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 isso, tive medo e fui esconder teu talento na terra. Eis aqui, toma o que te pertence’.
25. And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
26. Respondeu-lhe seu senhor: ‘Servo mau e preguiçoso! Sabias que colho onde não semeei e que recolho onde não espalhei.
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. Devias, pois, levar meu dinheiro ao banco e, à minha volta, eu receberia com os juros o que é meu.
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. Tirai-lhe este talento e dai-o ao que tem dez.
28. Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents.
29. Será dado ao que tem e terá em abundância. Mas ao que não tem será tirado mesmo aquilo que julga ter.
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. E a esse servo inútil, jogai-o nas trevas exteriores; ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes’.”
30. And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31. “Quando o Filho do Homem voltar na sua glória e todos os anjos com ele, se sentará no seu trono glorioso.
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. Todas as nações se reunirão diante dele e ele separará uns dos outros, como o pastor separa as ovelhas dos 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. Colocará as ovelhas à sua direita e os cabritos à sua esquerda.
33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
34. Então, o Rei dirá aos que estão à direita: ‘Vinde, benditos de meu Pai, tomai posse do Reino que vos está preparado desde a criação do 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 tive fome e me destes de comer; tive sede e me destes de beber; era peregrino e me acolhestes;
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. nu e me vestistes; enfermo e me visitastes; estava na prisão e viestes a mim’.
36. Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
37. Os justos lhe perguntarão: ‘Senhor, quando foi que te vimos com fome e te demos de comer, com sede e te demos 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. Quando foi que te vimos peregrino e te acolhemos, nu e te vestimos?
38. And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?
39. Quando foi que te vimos enfermo ou na prisão e te fomos visitar?’.
39. Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
40. Responderá o Rei: ‘Em verdade eu vos declaro: todas as vezes que fizestes isso a um destes meus irmãos mais pequeninos, foi a mim mesmo que o fizestes.’
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. Ele se voltará em seguida para os da sua esquerda e lhes dirá: ‘Retirai-vos de mim, malditos! Ide para o fogo eterno destinado ao demônio e aos seus anjos.*
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 tive fome e não me destes de comer; tive sede e não me destes 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 peregrino e não me acolhestes; nu e não me vestistes; enfermo e na prisão e não me visitastes’.
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. Também estes lhe perguntarão: ‘Senhor, quando foi que te vimos com fome, com sede, peregrino, nu, enfermo, ou na prisão e não te socorremos?’.
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. E ele responderá: ‘Em verdade eu vos declaro: todas as vezes que deixastes de fazer isso a um destes pequeninos, foi a mim que o deixastes de fazer’.
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 estes irão para o castigo eterno, e os justos, para a vida eterna.”
46. And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
