Parbola de las monedas de oro

The Parable of the Bags of Gold

Jess dijo a la gente, El reino de los cielos es como un hombre que, al emprender un viaje, llam a sus siervos y les encarg sus bienes. A uno le dio cinco mil monedas de oro, a otro dos mil y a otro slo mil. Luego se fue de viaje. Jesus told the people, The kingdom of Heaven is like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag.

El que haba recibido las cinco mil fue en seguida y negoci con ellas y gan otras cinco mil.

The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

As mismo, el que recibi dos mil negoci con ellas y gan otras dos mil.

The man with two bags of gold put his money to work and gained two bags more.

Pero el que haba recibido mil fue, cav un hoyo en la tierra y escondi el dinero de su seor.

But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his masters money.

Despus de mucho tiempo volvi el seor de aquellos siervos y arregl cuentas con ellos. El que haba recibido las cinco mil monedas lleg con las otras cinco mil. Seor dijo, usted me encarg cinco mil monedas. Mire, he ganado otras cinco mil. Su seor le respondi: Hiciste bien, siervo bueno y fiel! En lo poco has sido fiel; te pondr a cargo de mucho ms. Ven a compartir la felicidad de tu seor!

After a long time the master of those servants returned. 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. 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. Come and share your masters happiness!

Lleg tambin el que recibi dos mil monedas. Seor inform, usted me encarg dos mil monedas. Mire, he ganado otras dos mil. Su seor le respondi: Hiciste bien, siervo bueno y fiel! Has sido fiel en lo poco; te pondr a cargo de mucho ms. Ven a compartir la felicidad de tu seor!

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. 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. Come and share your masters happiness!

Despus lleg el que haba recibido slo mil monedas. Seor explic, Fui y escond su dinero en la tierra. Mire, aqu tiene lo que es suyo. Pero su seor le contest: Siervo malo y perezoso! Qutenle las mil monedas y dnselas al que tiene las diez mil!"

Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. Master, he said, I went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you. His master replied, You wicked, lazy servant! Take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.

Dios te ha dotado una combinacin nica de dones, aptitudes y atributos que te ayudarn a encontrar el puesto que solo t puedes ocupar en este mundo. Si eres fiel, Dios te recompensar. Te dir: Bien, buen siervo y el! Sobre poco has sido el, sobre mucho te pondr; entra en el gozo de tu Seor
