In the watches of the night
35 “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants*n1 whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
35 “Estén ceñidos vuestros lomos, y vuestras lámparas encendidas;” 36 “y vosotros sed semejantes a hombres que esperan cuando su señor ha de volver de las bodas; para que cuando venga y toque, en seguida le abran.” 37 “Bienaventurados aquellos siervos a quienes el señor, cuando venga, halle velando; de cierto os digo que se ceñirá, y hará que se sienten a la mesa, y vendrá y les servirá.” 38 “Y si viene a la segunda vigilia, o aunque venga a la tercera vigilia, y los halla así, bienaventurados son aquellos siervos.” 39 “Y esto sabed, que si supiese el padre de familia a qué hora había de venir el ladrón, velaría ciertamente, y no dejaría minar su casa.” 40 “Vosotros, pues, también, estad apercibidos; porque a la hora que no penséis, el Hijo del Hombre vendrá.”
