Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Sampung Dalaga

25 “Ang paghahari ng Dios sa araw na iyon ay maitutulad sa kwentong ito: May sampung dalagang lumabas na may dalang ilawan upang salubungin ang lalaking ikakasal. Ang lima sa kanilaʼy mangmang, at ang limaʼy marurunong. Ang mga mangmang ay nagdala ng ilawan pero hindi nagdala ng reserbang langis, habang ang marurunong naman ay nagdala ng reserbang langis para sa kanilang mga ilawan. Natagalan ang pagdating ng lalaking ikakasal kaya ang mga dalaga ay nakatulog sa paghihintay.

“Nang hatinggabi na, biglang may sumigaw, ‘Nariyan na ang ikakasal! Halikayoʼt salubungin ninyo!’ Nagising ang sampung dalaga at inihanda ang kani-kanilang ilawan. Sinabi ng mga mangmang sa marurunong, ‘Pahingi naman ng kaunting langis; malapit na kasing mamatay ang mga ilawan namin.’ Sumagot sila, ‘Hindi pwede, dahil hindi magkakasya sa atin ang langis. Pumunta na lang kayo sa tindahan at bumili ng para sa inyo.’ 10 Kaya umalis ang mga mangmang na dalaga para bumili ng kanilang langis. Habang wala sila, dumating ang lalaking ikakasal. Ang limang nakahanda ay sumama sa kanya sa handaan. Pagpasok nila, isinara ang pintuan.

11 “Maya-mayaʼy dumating na ang limang mangmang na dalaga at nagsisigaw, ‘Papasukin nʼyo po kami.’ 12 Pero sumagot ang lalaki, ‘Hindi ko kayo kilala.’ ” 13 At sinabi ni Jesus, “Kaya magbantay kayo, dahil hindi ninyo alam ang araw o oras ng aking pagbabalik.”

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Tatlong Alipin(A)

14 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Ang paghahari ng Dios ay maitutulad sa kwentong ito: May isang taong papunta sa malayong lugar. Kaya tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alipin at ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang pera niya.[a] 15 Binigyan niya ang bawat isa ayon sa kani-kanilang kakayahang magnegosyo. Binigyan niya ang isa ng 5,000, ang isa naman ay 2,000, at sa isa pa ay 1,000. Pagkatapos ay umalis na siya. 16 Ang alipin na binigyan ng 5,000 ay kaagad na umalis at ginamit sa negosyo ang pera. At tumubo siya ng 5,000. 17 Ganoon din ang ginawa ng alipin na binigyan ng 2,000. At tumubo siya ng 2,000. 18 Pero ang alipin na binigyan ng 1,000 ay naghukay sa lupa at itinago roon ang pera.

19 “Pagkalipas ng mahabang panahon, bumalik ang amo nila at ipinatawag sila upang magbalita tungkol sa perang ipinagkatiwala sa kanila. 20 Lumapit ang alipin na nakatanggap ng 5,000 at sinabi, ‘Heto po ang 5,000 na ibinigay nʼyo sa akin, at ang karagdagang 5,000 na tinubo ko.’ 21 Sumagot ang amo niya, ‘Magaling! Isa kang mabuti at tapat na alipin! At dahil naging matapat ka sa kakaunting ipinagkatiwala sa iyo, ipapamahala ko sa iyo ang mas malaki pang halaga. Halikaʼt makibahagi sa aking kaligayahan!’ 22 Pagkatapos, lumapit naman ang alipin na binigyan ng 2,000 at sinabi niya, ‘Heto po ang 2,000 na ibinigay nʼyo sa akin, at ang karagdagang 2,000 na tinubo ko.’ 23 Sumagot ang kanyang amo: ‘Magaling! Isa kang mabuti at tapat na alipin! At dahil naging matapat ka sa kakaunting ipinagkatiwala sa iyo, ipapamahala ko sa iyo ang mas malaki pang halaga. Halikaʼt makibahagi rin sa aking kaligayahan!’ 24 Lumapit din ang alipin na binigyan ng 1,000 at sinabi sa kanyang amo, ‘Alam ko pong mabagsik kayo at walang awa. Inaani ninyo ang hindi ninyo itinanim, at kinukuha ninyo ang pinaghirapan ng iba. 25 Natakot po ako kaya ibinaon ko ang pera nʼyo sa lupa. Heto po ang 1,000 na ibinigay nʼyo sa akin.’ 26 Sumagot ang kanyang amo, ‘Masama at tamad na alipin! Alam mo palang inaani ko ang hindi ko itinanim, at kinukuha ko ang pinaghirapan ng iba. 27 Bakit hindi mo na lang idineposito sa bangko ang pera ko para sa pagbalik ko ay may makuha akong interes?’ 28 Kaya sinabi niya sa iba pang mga utusan, ‘Kunin ninyo sa kanya ang 1,000 at ibigay sa mayroong 10,000. 29 Sapagkat ang mayroon ay bibigyan pa ng mas marami, ngunit ang wala, kahit ang kaunting nasa kanya ay kukunin pa. 30 Itapon ninyo ang walang silbing alipin na iyan sa kadiliman sa labas. Doon ay iiyak siya at magngangalit ang kanyang ngipin.’ ”

Ang Huling Paghuhukom

31 “Kapag ako na Anak ng Tao ay dumating na bilang Hari,[b] kasama ang lahat ng anghel, uupo ako sa aking dakilang trono. 32 Titipunin ko sa aking harapan ang lahat ng lahi sa mundo. Pagbubukud-bukurin ko sila, tulad ng ginagawa ng pastol sa mga tupa at kambing. 33 Ang mga tupa, na walang iba kundi ang matutuwid, ay ilalagay ko sa aking kanan, at ang mga kambing, na walang iba kundi ang masasama, ay ilalagay ko sa aking kaliwa. 34 Pagkatapos, bilang Hari ay sasabihin ko sa mga tao sa aking kanan, ‘Halikayo, kayong mga pinagpala ng aking Ama. Manahin ninyo ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula pa nang likhain ang mundo. 35 Sapagkat nang nagutom ako ay pinakain ninyo ako, at nang nauhaw ako ay pinainom ninyo. Nang naging dayuhan ako ay pinatuloy ninyo ako sa inyong tahanan, 36 at nang wala akong maisuot ay binihisan ninyo. Nang may sakit ako ay inalagaan ninyo, at nang nasa kulungan ako ay binisita ninyo.’ 37 Sasagot ang mga matuwid, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom at aming pinakain, o nauhaw at aming pinainom? 38 Kailan namin kayo nakitang naging dayuhan at aming pinatuloy o walang maisuot at aming binihisan? 39 Kailan namin kayo nakitang may sakit o nasa kulungan at aming binisita?’ 40 At sasagot ako bilang Hari, ‘Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, nang ginawa nʼyo ito sa pinakahamak kong mga kapatid, para na rin nʼyo itong ginawa sa akin.’

41 “Pagkatapos, sasabihin ko naman sa mga tao sa aking kaliwa, ‘Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong mga isinumpa ng Dios! Doon kayo sa walang katapusang apoy na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kanyang mga kampon. 42 Sapagkat nang nagutom ako ay hindi nʼyo ako pinakain, at nang nauhaw ako ay hindi nʼyo pinainom. 43 Nang naging dayuhan ako ay hindi nʼyo ako pinatuloy sa inyong tahanan, at nang wala akong maisuot ay hindi nʼyo binihisan. Nang may sakit ako at nasa kulungan ay hindi nʼyo ako inalagaan.’ 44 Tatanungin nila ako, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom, nauhaw, naging dayuhan, walang maisuot, may sakit o nasa kulungan at hindi namin kayo tinulungan?’ 45 At sasagot ako bilang Hari, ‘Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, nang hindi ninyo tinulungan ang pinakahamak kong mga kapatid, ako ang hindi ninyo tinulungan.’ 46 Itataboy ko ang mga taong ito sa walang hanggang kaparusahan, ngunit bibigyan ko ang mga matuwid ng buhay na walang hanggan.”

  1. 25:14 pera: o, ari-arian.
  2. 25:31 bilang Hari: o, taglay ang aking kaluwalhatian.

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

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

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

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

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

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

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

But 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.

10 And 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.

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

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

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

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

15 And 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.

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

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

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

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

20 And 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.

21 His 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.

22 He 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.

23 His 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.

24 Then 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:

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

26 His 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:

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

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

29 For 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.

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

31 When 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:

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

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

34 Then 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:

35 For 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:

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

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

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

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

40 And 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.

41 Then 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:

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

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

44 Then 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?

45 Then 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.

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

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like(A) ten virgins who took their lamps(B) and went out to meet the bridegroom.(C) Five of them were foolish and five were wise.(D) The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.(E)

“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’(F)

“‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet.(G) And the door was shut.

11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’(H)

13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.(I)

The Parable of the Bags of Gold(J)

14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey,(K) who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability.(L) Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.(M) 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(N) Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.(O) Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(P) 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(Q)

The Sheep and the Goats

31 “When the Son of Man comes(R) in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.(S) 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate(T) the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.(U) 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom(V) prepared for you since the creation of the world.(W) 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 invited me in,(X) 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,(Y) I was sick and you looked after me,(Z) I was in prison and you came to visit me.’(AA)

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 invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’(AB)

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(AC) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(AD) prepared for the devil and his angels.(AE) 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 did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(AF)

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.(AG)(AH)
