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

Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be made like to ten virgins that having taken their torches, went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 C inco delas eram insensatas, e cinco prudentes.

And five of them were prudent and five foolish.

3 O ra, as insensatas, tomando as lâmpadas, não levaram azeite consigo.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

4 A s prudentes, porém, levaram azeite em suas vasilhas, juntamente com as lâmpadas.

but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their torches.

5 E tardando o noivo, cochilaram todas, e dormiram.

Now the bridegroom tarrying, they all grew heavy and slept.

6 M as ã meia-noite ouviu-se um grito: Eis o noivo! saí-lhe ao encontro!

But in middle of night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom; go forth to meet him.

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

Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their torches.

8 E as insensatas disseram

And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our torches are going out.

9 M as as prudentes responderam: não; pois de certo não chegaria para nós e para vós; ide antes aos que o vendem, e comprai-o para vós.

But the prudent answered saying, lest it might not suffice for us and for you. Go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.

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

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

11 D epois vieram também as outras virgens, e disseram: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos a porta.

Afterwards come also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us;

12 E le, porém, respondeu: Em verdade vos digo, não vos conheço.

but he answering said, Verily I say unto you, I do not know you.

13 V igiai pois, porque não sabeis nem o dia nem a hora.

Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

14 P orque é assim como um homem que, ausentando-se do país, chamou os seus servos e lhes entregou os seus bens:

For as a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.

15 a um deu cinco talentos, a outro dois, e a outro um, a cada um segundo a sua capacidade; e seguiu viagem.

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.

16 O que recebera cinco talentos foi imediatamente negociar com eles, e ganhou outros cinco;

And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.

17 d a mesma sorte, o que recebera dois ganhou outros dois;

In like manner also he that the two, gained two others.

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

But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.

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

And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.

20 E ntão chegando o que recebera cinco talentos, apresentou-lhe outros cinco talentos, dizendo: Senhor, entregaste-me cinco talentos; eis aqui outros cinco que ganhei.

And he that had received the five talents came to and brought five other talents, saying, lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.

21 D isse-lhe o seu senhor: Muito bem, servo bom e fiel; sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.

His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.

22 C hegando também o que recebera dois talentos, disse: Senhor, entregaste-me dois talentos; eis aqui outros dois que ganhei.

And he also that had received the two talents came to and said, lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

23 D isse-lhe o seu senhor: Muito bem, servo bom e fiel; sobre o pouco foste fiel, sobre muito te colocarei; entra no gozo do teu senhor.

His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 C hegando por fim o que recebera um talento, disse: Senhor, eu te conhecia, que és um homem duro, que ceifas onde não semeaste, e recolhes onde não joeiraste;

And he also that had received the one talent coming to said, lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

25 e , atemorizado, fui esconder na terra o teu talento; eis aqui tens o que é teu.

and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.

26 A o que lhe respondeu o seu senhor: Servo mau e preguiçoso, sabias que ceifo onde não semeei, e recolho onde não joeirei?

And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

27 D evias então entregar o meu dinheiro aos banqueiros e, vindo eu, tê-lo-ia recebido com juros.

thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.

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

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:

29 P orque a todo o que tem, dar-se-lhe-á, e terá em abundância; mas ao que não tem, até aquilo que tem ser-lhe-á tirado.

for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

30 E lançai o servo inútil nas trevas exteriores; ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes.

And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

31 Q uando, pois vier o Filho do homem na sua glória, e todos os anjos com ele, então se assentará no trono da sua glória;

But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit down upon his throne of glory,

32 e diante dele serão reunidas todas as nações; e ele separará uns dos outros, como o pastor separa as ovelhas dos cabritos;

and all the nations shall be gathered before him; and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

33 e porá as ovelhas ã sua direita, mas os cabritos ã esquerda.

and he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on left.

34 E ntão dirá o Rei aos que estiverem ã sua direita: Vinde, benditos de meu Pai. Possuí por herança o reino que vos está preparado desde a fundação do mundo;

Then shall the King say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from world's foundation:

35 p orque tive fome, e me destes de comer; tive sede, e me destes de beber; era forasteiro, e me acolhestes;

for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

36 e stava nu, e me vestistes; adoeci, e me visitastes; estava na prisão e fostes ver-me.

naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.

37 E ntão os justos lhe perguntarão: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, e te demos de comer? ou com sede, e te demos de beber?

Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?

38 Q uando te vimos forasteiro, e te acolhemos? ou nu, e te vestimos?

and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Q uando te vimos enfermo, ou na prisão, e fomos visitar-te?

and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?

40 E responder-lhes-á o Rei: Em verdade vos digo que, sempre que o fizestes a um destes meus irmãos, mesmo dos mais pequeninos, a mim o fizestes.

And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.

41 E ntão dirá também aos que estiverem ã sua esquerda: Apartai- vos de mim, malditos, para o fogo eterno, preparado para o Diabo e seus anjos;

Then shall he say also to those on the left, Go from me, cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

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

for I hungered, and ye gave me not to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me not to drink;

43 e ra forasteiro, e não me acolhestes; estava nu, e não me vestistes; enfermo, e na prisão, e não me visitastes.

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; ill, and in prison, and ye did not visit me.

44 E ntão também estes perguntarão: Senhor, quando te vimos com fome, ou com sede, ou forasteiro, ou nu, ou enfermo, ou na prisão, e não te servimos?

Then shall they also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?

45 A o que lhes responderá: Em verdade vos digo que, sempre que o deixaste de fazer a um destes mais pequeninos, deixastes de o fazer a mim.

Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.

46 E irão eles para o castigo eterno, mas os justos para a vida eterna.

And these shall go away into eternal punishment, and the righteous into life eternal.
