Mateo 25
Ang Biblia (1978)
25 Kung magkagayon ay makakatulad ang kaharian ng langit ng sangpung dalaga, na kinuha ang kanilang mga ilawan, at nagsilabas upang salubungin (A)ang kasintahang lalake.
2 At ang lima sa kanila'y mga mangmang, at ang lima'y (B)matatalino.
3 Sapagka't nang dalhin ng mga mangmang ang kanilang mga ilawan, ay hindi sila nangagdala ng langis:
4 Datapuwa't ang matatalino ay nangagdala ng langis sa kanilang sisidlan na kasama ng kanilang mga ilawan.
5 Samantalang nagtatagal nga ang kasintahang lalake, ay (C)nangagantok silang lahat at nangakatulog.
6 Datapuwa't pagkahating gabi ay may sumigaw, Narito, ang kasintahang lalake! Magsilabas kayo upang salubungin siya.
7 Nang magkagayo'y nagsipagbangong lahat ang mga dalagang yaon, at pinagigi ang kanilang mga ilawan.
8 At sinabi ng mga mangmang sa matatalino, Bigyan ninyo kami ng inyong langis; sapagka't nangamamatay ang aming mga ilawan.
9 Datapuwa't nagsisagot ang matatalino, na nangagsasabi, Baka sakaling hindi magkasiya sa amin at sa inyo: magsiparoon muna kayo sa nangagbibili, at magsibili kayo ng ganang inyo.
10 At samantalang sila'y nagsisiparoon sa pagbili, ay dumating ang kasintahang lalake; at (D)ang mga nahahanda ay nagsipasok na kasama niya sa piging ng kasalan: at (E)inilapat ang pintuan.
11 Pagkatapos ay nagsirating naman ang mga ibang dalaga, na nagsisipagsabi, (F)Panginoon, Panginoon, buksan mo kami.
12 Datapuwa't sumagot siya at sinabi, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, (G)Hindi ko kayo nangakikilala.
13 Mangagpuyat nga kayo, (H)sapagka't hindi ninyo nalalaman ang araw ni ang oras.
14 Sapagka't (I)tulad sa isang tao, na nang paroroon sa ibang lupain, ay tinawag ang kaniyang sariling mga alipin, at ipinamahala sa kanila ang kaniyang mga pagaari.
15 At ang isa'y binigyan niya ng limang talento, ang isa'y dalawa, at ang isa'y isa; (J)sa bawa't isa'y ayon sa kanikaniyang kaya; at siya'y yumaon sa kaniyang paglalakbay.
16 Ang tumanggap ng limang talento pagdaka'y yumaon at ipinangalakal niya ang mga yaon, at siya'y nakinabang ng lima pang talento.
17 Sa gayon ding paraan ang tumanggap ng dalawa ay nakinabang ng ibang dalawa pa.
18 Datapuwa't ang tumanggap ng isa ay yumaon at humukay sa lupa, at itinago ang salapi ng kaniyang panginoon.
19 Pagkatapos nga ng mahabang panahon, ay dumating ang panginoon ng mga aliping yaon, at nakipaghusay sa kanila.
20 At ang tumanggap ng limang talento ay lumapit at nagdala ng lima pang talento, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng limang talento: narito, ako'y nakinabang ng lima pang talento.
21 Sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang panginoon, Mabuting gawa, mabuti at tapat na alipin: (K)nagtapat ka sa kakaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay; (L)pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
22 At lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng dalawang talento at sinabi, Panginoon, binigyan mo ako ng dalawang talento: narito, ako'y nakinabang ng dalawa pang talento.
23 Sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang panginoon, Mabuting gawa, mabuti at tapat na alipin: nagtapat ka sa kakaunting bagay, pamamahalain kita sa maraming bagay; pumasok ka sa kagalakan ng iyong panginoon.
24 At lumapit naman ang tumanggap ng isang talento at sinabi, Panginoon, nakikilala kita na ikaw ay taong mapagmatigas, na gumagapas ka doon sa hindi mo hinasikan, at nagaani ka doon sa hindi mo sinabugan;
25 At ako'y natakot, at ako'y yumaon at aking itinago sa lupa ang talento mo: narito, nasa iyo ang iyong sarili.
26 Datapuwa't sumagot ang kaniyang panginoon at sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw na aliping masama at tamad, nalalaman mong ako'y gumagapas sa hindi ko hinasikan, at nagaani doon sa hindi ko sinabugan;
27 Gayon pala'y ibinigay mo sana ang aking salapi sa nagsisipangalakal ng salapi, at nang sa aking pagdating ay tinanggap ko sana ang ganang akin pati ng pakinabang.
28 Alisin nga ninyo sa kaniya ang talento, at ibigay ninyo sa may sangpung talento.
29 Sapagka't (M)ang bawa't mayroon ay bibigyan, at siya'y magkakaroon ng sagana: nguni't ang wala, pati pa nang nasa kaniya ay aalisin sa kaniya.
30 At ang aliping (N)walang kabuluhan ay (O)inyong itapon sa kadiliman sa labas: diyan na nga ang pagtangis at ang pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.
31 Datapuwa't (P)pagparito ng Anak ng tao na nasa kaniyang kaluwalhatian, na kasama niya ang lahat ng (Q)mga anghel, kung magkagayo'y luluklok siya sa luklukan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian:
32 At (R)titipunin sa harap niya ang lahat ng mga bansa: at sila'y pagbubukdinbukdin niya na gaya ng pagbubukodbukod ng pastor sa mga tupa at sa mga kambing;
33 At ilalagay niya ang mga tupa sa kaniyang kanan, datapuwa't sa kaliwa ang mga kambing.
34 Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin (S)ng Hari sa nangasa kaniyang kanan, Magsiparito kayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama, (T)manahin ninyo (U)ang kahariang nakahanda sa inyo (V)buhat nang itatag ang sanglibutan:
35 Sapagka't ako'y nagutom, at ako'y inyong pinakain; ako'y nauhaw, at ako'y inyong pinainom; ako'y naging taga ibang bayan, at inyo akong pinatuloy;
36 Naging hubad, at inyo akong pinaramtan; ako'y nagkasakit, at inyo (W)akong dinalaw; ako'y nabilanggo, at inyo akong pinaroonan.
37 Kung magkagayo'y sasagutin siya ng mga matuwid, na mangagsasabi, Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagutom, at pinakain ka namin? o nauuhaw, at pinainom ka?
38 At kailan ka naming nakitang isang taga ibang bayan, at pinatuloy ka? o hubad, at pinaramtan ka?
39 At kailan ka namin nakitang may-sakit, o nasa bilangguan, at dinalaw ka namin?
40 At sasagot ang Hari at sasabihin sa kanila, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, (X)Yamang inyong ginawa sa isa dito sa aking mga kapatid, kahit sa pinakamaliit na ito, ay sa akin ninyo ginawa.
41 Kung magkagayo'y sasabihin naman niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, Magsilayo kayo sa akin, kayong mga sinumpa, at pasa apoy na (Y)walang hanggan na inihanda sa (Z)diablo at sa (AA)kaniyang mga anghel:
42 Sapagka't ako'y nagutom, at hindi ninyo ako pinakain; ako'y nauhaw, at hindi ninyo ako pinainom;
43 Ako'y naging isang taga ibang bayan, at hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy; hubad, at hindi ninyo ako pinaramtan; maysakit at nasa bilangguan, at hindi ako dinalaw.
44 Kung magkagayo'y sila nama'y magsisisagot, na magsisipagsabi, Panginoon, kailan ka namin nakitang nagugutom, o nauuhaw, o isang taga ibang bayan, o hubad, o may-sakit, o nasa bilangguan, at hindi ka namin pinaglingkuran?
45 Kung magkagayo'y sila'y sasagutin niya, na sasabihin, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na yamang hindi ninyo ginawa sa maliliit na ito, ay hindi ninyo ginawa sa akin.
46 At (AB)ang mga ito'y mangapaparoon sa walang hanggang kaparusahan: datapuwa't ang mga matuwid ay sa walang hanggang (AC)buhay.
Matthew 25

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins[a] who took their lamps[b] and went out to meet the groom.(A) 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(B) 3 When the foolish took their lamps, they didn’t take oil with them; 4 but the wise ones took oil in their flasks with their lamps. 5 When the groom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’
7 “Then all the virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
9 “The wise ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell oil, and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “When they had gone to buy some, the groom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.(C) 11 Later the rest of the virgins also came and said, ‘Master, master, open up for us!’
12 “He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you!’
13 “Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour.[c]
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey.(D) He called his own servants and entrusted his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents,[d] to another two talents, and to another one talent, depending on each one’s ability. Then he went on a journey.(E) Immediately 16 the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more. 17 In the same way the man with two earned two more. 18 But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I’ve earned five more talents.’
21 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.’(F)
22 “The man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I’ve earned two more talents.’
23 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.’
24 “The man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a harsh man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.(G) 25 So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
26 “His master replied to him, ‘You evil, lazy servant!(H) If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered, 27 then[e] you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and I would have received my money[f] back with interest when I returned.
28 “‘So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.(I) 30 And throw this good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness,(J) where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels[g](K) with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.(L) 32 All the nations[h](M) will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(N) 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the kingdom(O) prepared for you from the foundation of the world.(P)
35 “‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me; I was in prison and you visited me.’(Q)
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or without clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit you?’
40 “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’(R)
41 “Then he will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!(S) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger and you didn’t take me in; I was naked and you didn’t clothe me, sick and in prison and you didn’t take care of me.’
44 “Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help you?’
45 “Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(T)
46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”(U)
