Mateus 25

1Então o reino dos céus será semelhante a dez virgens que, tomando as suas lâmpadas, saíram ao encontro do esposo.

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2E cinco delas eram prudentes, e cinco loucas.

2And five of them were wise, and five {were} foolish.

3As loucas, tomando as suas lâmpadas, não levaram azeite consigo.

3They that {were} foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4Mas as prudentes levaram azeite em suas vasilhas, com as suas lâmpadas.

4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5E, tardando o esposo, tosquenejaram todas, e adormeceram.

5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6Mas à meia-noite ouviu-se um clamor: Aí vem o esposo, saí-lhe ao encontro.

6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7Então todas aquelas virgens se levantaram, e prepararam as suas lâmpadas.

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8E as loucas disseram às prudentes: Dai-nos do vosso azeite, porque as nossas lâmpadas se apagam.

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. {gone out: or, going out}

9Mas as prudentes responderam, dizendo: Não seja caso que nos falte a nós e a vós, ide antes aos que o vendem, e comprai-o para vós.

9But the wise answered, saying, {Not so}; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10E, tendo elas ido comprá-lo, chegou o esposo, e as que estavam preparadas entraram com ele para as bodas, e fechou-se a porta.

10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11E depois chegaram também as outras virgens, dizendo: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos.

11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12E ele, respondendo, disse: Em verdade vos digo que vos não conheço.

12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13Vigiai, pois, porque não sabeis o dia nem a hora em que o Filho do homem há de vir.

13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

14Porque isto é também como um homem que, partindo para fora da terra, chamou os seus servos, e entregou-lhes os seus bens.

14For {the kingdom of heaven is} as a man travelling into a far country, {who} called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15E a um deu cinco talentos, e a outro dois, e a outro um, a cada um segundo a sua capacidade, e ausentou-se logo para longe.

15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. {talents: a talent is one hundred and eighty seven pounds ten shillings}

16E, tendo ele partido, o que recebera cinco talentos negociou com eles, e granjeou outros cinco talentos.

16Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made {them} other five talents.

17Da mesma sorte, o que recebera dois, granjeou também outros dois.

17And likewise he that {had received} two, he also gained other two.

18Mas o que recebera um, foi e cavou na terra e escondeu o dinheiro do seu senhor.

18But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19E muito tempo depois veio o senhor daqueles servos, e fez contas com eles.

19After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20Então aproximou-se o que recebera cinco talentos, e trouxe-lhe outros cinco talentos, dizendo: Senhor, entregaste-me cinco talentos; eis aqui outros cinco talentos que granjeei com eles.

20And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21E o seu senhor lhe disse: Bem está, servo bom e fiel. Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.

21His lord said unto him, Well done, {thou} good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22E, chegando também o que tinha recebido dois talentos, disse: Senhor, entregaste-me dois talentos; eis que com eles granjeei outros dois talentos.

22He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23Disse-lhe o seu senhor: Bem está, bom e fiel servo. Sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.

23His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24Mas, chegando também o que recebera um talento, disse: Senhor, eu conhecia-te, que és um homem duro, que ceifas onde não semeaste e ajuntas onde não espalhaste;

24Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25E, atemorizado, escondi na terra o teu talento; aqui tens o que é teu.

25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, {there} thou hast {that is} thine.

26Respondendo, porém, o seu senhor, disse-lhe: Mau e negligente servo; sabias que ceifo onde não semeei e ajunto onde não espalhei?

26His lord answered and said unto him, {Thou} wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27Devias então ter dado o meu dinheiro aos banqueiros e, quando eu viesse, receberia o meu com os juros.

27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and {then} at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28Tirai-lhe pois o talento, e dai-o ao que tem os dez talentos.

28Take therefore the talent from him, and give {it} unto him which hath ten talents.

29Porque a qualquer que tiver será dado, e terá em abundância; mas ao que não tiver até o que tem ser-lhe-á tirado.

29For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30Lançai, pois, o servo inútil nas trevas exteriores; ali haverá pranto e ranger de dentes.

30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

31E quando o Filho do homem vier em sua glória, e todos os santos anjos com ele, então se assentará no trono da sua glória;

31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32E todas as nações serão reunidas diante dele, e apartará uns dos outros, como o pastor aparta dos bodes as ovelhas;

32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth {his} sheep from the goats:

33E porá as ovelhas à sua direita, mas os bodes à esquerda.

33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34Então dirá o Rei aos que estiverem à sua direita: Vinde, benditos de meu Pai, possuí por herança o reino que vos está preparado desde a fundação do mundo;

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35Porque tive fome, e destes-me de comer; tive sede, e destes-me de beber; era estrangeiro, e hospedastes-me;

35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36Estava nu, e vestistes-me; adoeci, e visitastes-me; estive na prisão, e foste me ver.

36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37Então os justos lhe responderão, dizendo: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, e te demos de comer? ou com sede, e te demos de beber?

37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed {thee}? or thirsty, and gave {thee} drink?

38E quando te vimos estrangeiro, e te hospedamos? ou nu, e te vestimos?

38When saw we thee a stranger, and took {thee} in? or naked, and clothed {thee}?

39E quando te vimos enfermo, ou na prisão, e fomos ver-te?

39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40E, respondendo o Rei, lhes dirá: Em verdade vos digo que quando o fizestes a um destes meus pequeninos irmãos, a mim o fizestes.

40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done {it} unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done {it} unto me.

41Então dirá também aos que estiverem à sua esquerda: Apartai-vos de mim, malditos, para o fogo eterno, preparado para o diabo e seus anjos;

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42Porque tive fome, e não me destes de comer; tive sede, e não me destes de beber;

42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43Sendo estrangeiro, não me recolhestes; estando nu, não me vestistes; e enfermo, e na prisão, não me visitastes.

43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44Então eles também lhe responderão, dizendo: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, ou com sede, ou estrangeiro, ou nu, ou enfermo, ou na prisão, e não te servimos?

44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45Então lhes responderá, dizendo: Em verdade vos digo que, quando a um destes pequeninos o não fizestes, não o fizestes a mim.

45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did {it} not to one of the least of these, ye did {it} not to me.

46E irão estes para o tormento eterno, mas os justos para a vida eterna.

46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
