40:9,2

٤٠ : ٩، ٢

*I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright. Alleluia.

بَشَّرْتُ بِعَدلِكَ في جَمَاعَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، هُوَذَا لا أَمْنَعُ شَفَتَيَّ. أَقَامَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ رِجْلَيَّ. وَسَهَّلَ خُطُوَاتِي. هَلِّلُويَا.

6:6-13

٦ : ٦ − ١٣

*And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching. And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats. And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. And going forth they preached that men should do penance: And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. Glory be to God forever.

وَكَانَ يَطُوفُ الْقُرَى الْمُحِيطَةَ يُعَلِّمُ. وَدَعَا الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَابْتَدَأَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَاناً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ، وَأَوْصَاهُمْ أنْ لا يَحْمِلُوا شَيْئاً مَعَهُمْ في الطَّرِيقِ غَيْرَ عَصاً فَقَطْ، وَلا خُبْزاً وَلا مِزْوَداً وَلا نُحَاساً في مَنَاطِقِهِمْ. بَلْ يَكُونُوا مَشْدُودِينَ بِنِعَالٍ، وَلا يَلْبَسُوا ثَوْبَيْنِ. وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: "حَيْثُمَا دَخَلْتُمْ بَيْتاً فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. وَكُلُّ مَوْضِعٍ لا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ لَكُمْ، فَبينَمَا أَنْتُمْ خَارِجُونَ مِنْهُ انْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ الَّذِي تَحْتَ أرْجُلِكُمْ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ. الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: سَتَكُونُ لِسَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ رَاحَةٌ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا لِتِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ". فَخَرَجُوا وَصَارُوا يَكْرِزُونَ أنْ يَتُوبُوا. وَأَخْرَجُوا شَيَاطِينَ كَثِيرَةً، وَدَهَنُوا بِزَيْتٍ مَرْضَى كَثِيرِينَ فَشَفَوْهُمْ. وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

10:17-30

١٠ : ١٧ − ٣٠

*And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God. Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother. But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth. And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God? It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God. And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee. Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting. Glory be to God forever.

وَفِيمَا هُوَ خَارجٌ إلى الطَّرِيقِ، أَسْرَعَ وَاحِدٌ وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَسَأَلَهُ: "أيهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ الصَّالِحُ، مَاذَا أَعْمَلُ لأَرِثَ الْحَيَاةَ الأَبدِيَّةَ؟". فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: "لِمَاذَا تَدْعُوني الصَّالِحَ؟ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَالِحاً إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ. أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ الْوَصَايَا: لا تَقْتُلْ. لا تَزْنِ. لا تَسْرِقْ. لا تَشْهَدْ بِالزُّورِ. لا تَسْلُبْ. أَكْرِمْ أَباكَ وَأُمَّكَ". فَقَالَ لَهُ: "يَا مُعَلِّمُ هَذِهِ كُلُّهَا حَفِظْتُهَا مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي". فَنَظَرَ إلَيْهِ يَسُوعُ وَأَحَبَّهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: "أَترِيدُ أنْ تَكُونَ كَامِلاً يُعْوِزُكَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ: اِذْهَبْ بِعْ كُلَّ مَا لَكَ وَأَعْطِهِ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، فَتَرْبَحَ لَكَ كَنْزَاً في السَّمَاءِ، وَتَعَالَ اتْبَعْنِي حَامِلاً الصَّلِيبَ". أَمَّا هُوَ فَاغْتَمَّ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَمَضَى حَزِيناً، لأنهُ كَانَ ذَا أَمْوَالٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. فَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لِتَلامِيذِهِ: "مَا أَعْسَرَ دُخُولَ ذَوِي الأَمْوَالِ إلى مَلَكُوتِ اللَّهِ!" فَخَافَ التَّلاَمِيذُ مِنَ الكَلاَمِ. فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضاً وَقَالَ: "يَا بَنِيَّ، مَا أَعْسَرَ دُخُولَ الْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى الأَمْوَالِ إلى مَلَكُوتِ اللَّهِ! مُرُورُ جَمَلٍ في ثَقْبِ إبْرَةٍ أَيْسَرُ مِنْ أنْ يَدْخُلَ غَنِيٌّ إلى مَلَكُوتِ اللَّهِ " فَبُهِتُوا إلى الْغَايَةِ قَائِلِينَ لَهُ: "مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أنْ يَخْلُصَ؟". فَنَظَرَ إلَيْهِمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: "عِنْدَ النَّاسِ غَيْرُ مُسْتَطَاعٍ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ؛ لأنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مُسْتَطَاعٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ". وَابْتَدَأَ بُطْرُسُ يَقُولُ لَهُ: "هَا نَحْنُ قَدْ تَرَكْنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَبِعْنَاكَ". فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: "الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ تَرَكَ بَيْتاً أَوْ إخْوَةً أَوْ أَخَوَاتٍ أَوْ أُمَّاً أَوْ أَباً أَوِ ابْناً أَوْ حُقُولاً، لأَجْلِي وَلأَجْلِ الإنْجِيلِ، إلاَّ وَيَأْخُذُ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ الآنَ في هَذَا الزَّمَانِ، بُيُوتَاً وَإخْوَةً وَأَخَوَاتٍ وَأُمَّهَاتٍ وَأَبناءً وَحُقُولاً، مَعَ اضْطِهَادَاتٍ، وَفي الدَّهْرِ الآتِي الْحَيَاةَ الأَبَدِيَّةَ". وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

The Pauline Epistle from 2 Timothy

البولس من تِيمُوثَاوُسَ الثانية

3:10-4:18

٣ : ١٠ − ٤ : ١٨

*But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me. And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error. But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work. His charge to Timothy. He tells him of his approaching death and desires him to come to him. I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober. For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly. For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica: Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works: Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge. But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. The grace of God the Father be with you all. Amen.

وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ اتَّبَعْتَ تَعْلِيمِي، وَمَثَالِي، وَرَسْمِي الأَوَّلَ، وَإيمَانِي، وَأَنَاتِي، وَمَحَبَّتِي، وَصَبْرِي. الاضْطِهَادَاتُ وَالآلامُ التي أَصَابَتْنِي في أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَإيقُونِيَّةَ وَلسْتِرَةَ، جَمِيعُ الاضْطِهَادَاتِ قَدْ احْتَمَلْتُهَا، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِهَا أَنْقَذَنِي الرَّبُّ. وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أنْ يَعِيشُوا بِالتَّقْوَى في الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ يُضْطَهَدُونَ. وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ الأَشْرَارَ الْخَدَّاعِينَ سَيَتَقَدَّمُونَ في الشَّرِّ بِالأَكْثَرِ، ضَالِّينَ وَمُضِلِّينَ. وَأمَّا أَنْتَ فَاثْبُتْ عَلَى مَا تَعَلَّمْتَهُ وَأَيْقَنْتَهُ، عَارِفاً مِمَّنْ تَعَلَّمْتَ. وَأَنكَ مُنْذُ الطُّفُولِيَّةِ تَعْرِفُ الْكُتُبَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، الْقَادِرَةَ أنْ تُحَكِّمَكَ لِلْخَلاصِ، بِالإيمَانِ الَّذِي في الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. لأنَّ جَمِيعَ الْكُتُبِ الْمُوحَى بِهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ، نَافِعَةٌ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ وَالتَّوْبِيخِ، لِلتَّقْوِيمِ وَالتَّأْدِيبِ الَّذِي في الْبِرِّ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ رَجُلُ اللَّهِ مُسْتَعِدَّاً، ثَابِتَاً في كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ. أَنا أَشْهَدُ أَمَامَ اللَّهِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي يَدِينُ الأَحْيَاءَ وَالأَمْوَاتَ، عِنْدَ ظُهُورِهِ وَمَلَكُوتِهِ: اكْرِزْ بِالْكَلِمَةِ. اعْكُفْ عَلَى ذلِكَ في وَقْتٍ مُنَاسِبٍ وَغَيْرِ مُنَاسِبٍ. وَبِّخْ، عِظْ. انْتَهِرْ بِكُلِّ أَناةٍ وَتَعْلِيمٍ؛ لأنهُ سَيَكُونُ وَقْتٌ لا يَقْبَلُونَ فِيهِ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ، بَلْ حَسَبَ شَهَوَاتِهِمْ الْخَاصَّةِ يَجْمَعُونَ لَهُمْ مُعَلِّمِينَ وَيَسُدُّونَ آذَانَهُمْ، فَيَصْرِفُونَ مَسْمَعَهُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَيَمِيلُونَ إلى الْخُرَافَاتِ. وَأمَّا أنْتَ فَاسْتَيقِظْ في كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. وَاقْبَلِ الآلامَ. وَاعْمَلْ عَمَلَ الْمُبَشِّرِ. تَمِّمْ خِدْمَتَكَ. فَإنِّي أنَا أيْضاً سَوفَ أَنْتَقِلُ، وَوَقْتُ انْحَلاَلِي قَدْ حَضَرَ. قَدْ جَاهَدْتُ الْجِهَادَ الْحَسَنَ، وَأَكْمَلْتُ السَّعْيَ، وَحَفِظْتُ الإيمَانَ. أَخِيراً قَدْ وُضِعَ لِي إكْلِيلُ الْبِرِّ، الَّذِي يَهَبُهُ لِي في ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، الرَّبُّ الْحَاكمُ الْعَادِلُ، وَلَيْسَ لِي وَحْدِي فَقَطْ، بَلْ وَلِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ ظُهُورَهُ أيْضاً. أَسْرِعْ أنْ تَأتِيَ إلَيَّ عَاجِلاً؛ لأنَّ دِيمَاسَ قَدْ تَرَكَنِي إذْ أَحَبَّ الْعَالَمَ الْحَاضِرَ وَذَهَبَ إلى تَسَالُونِيكِي، وَكِرِيسْكِيسَ إلى غَلاَطِيَّةَ، وَتِيطُسَ إلى دَلْمَاطِيَّةَ. وَلُوقَا وَحْدَهُ مَعِي. خُذْ مَرْقُسَ وَأَحْضِرْهُ مَعَكَ لأنهُ نَافِعٌ لِي لِلْخَدْمَةِ. أَمَّا تِيخِيكُسُ فَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُهُ إلى أَفَسُسَ. وَالْعَبَاءَةُ التي تَرَكْتُهَا في تَرُواسَ عِنْدَ كَارْبُسَ، أَحْضِرْهَا مَتَى جِئْتَ، مَعَ الْكُتُبِ أيْضاً وَلا سِيَّمَا الرُّقُوقَ. إسْكَنْدَرُ الْحَدَّادُ فَعَلَ بِي شُرُوراً كَثِيرَةً. لِيُجَازِهِ الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِ. فَهَذَا احْتَفِظْ مِنْهُ أَنْتَ أيْضاً لأنهُ قَاوَمَ أَقْوَالِي جِدّاً. في احْتِجَاجِي الأَوَّلِ لَمْ يَأْتِ إلَيَّ أَحَدٌ، بَلِ الْجَمِيعُ تَرَكُونِي. لا يُحْسَبْ عَلَيْهِمْ. وَلكِنَّ الرَّبَّ وَقَفَ مَعِي وَقَوَّانِي، لِكَيْ تُتَمَّ بِي الكِرَازَةُ، وَيَسْمَعَ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ، فَأُنْقِذْتُ مِنْ فَمِ الأَسَدِ. وَسَيُنجِّينِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ رَدِيءٍ وَيُخَلِّصُنِي لِمَلَكُوتِهِ السَّمَاوِيِّ. هذَا الذِي لَهُ الْمَجْدُ إلى دَهْرِ الدُّهُورِ. آمِينَ. نعمةُ اللَّهِ الآبِ فَلْتَحِلَّ عَلَى أرواحِنا يا آبائي وإخْوَتي. آمين.

The Catholic Epistle from 1 Peter

الكاثوليكون من بطرس الأولى

5:1-14

٥ : ١ − ١٤

*The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you. Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand. The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark. Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen. Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Amen.

١٥ : ٣٦ − ١٦ : ٥

*And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do. And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark; But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received. And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus. But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God. And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients. Paul visits the churches. He is called to preach in Macedonia. He is scourged at Philippi. And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile. To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony. Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem. And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily. The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God. Amen.

مِنْ بَعْدِ أيامٍ قَالَ بُولُسُ لِبَرْنَابَا: "لِنَرْجِعْ وَنَتَفَقَّدِ الإخْوَةَ في كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ بَشَّرْنَا فِيهَا بِكَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَكَيْفَ حَالُهُمْ ؟". وَكَانَ بَرْنَابَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَا مَعَهُمَا يُوحَنَّا الَّذِي يُدعَى مَرْقُسَ، وَأمَّا بُولُسُ فَكَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنَّ الَّذِي فَارَقَهُمَا مِنْ بَمْفِيلِيَّةَ وَلَمْ يَأتِ مَعَهُمَا لِلْعَمَلِ لا يَأْخُذَانِهِ مَعَهُمَا. فَحَصَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا مُغَاضَبَةٌ حَتَّى فَارَقَ أَحْدُهُمَا الآخَرَ. وَبَرْنَابَا أَخَذَ مَرْقُسَ وَأَقْلَعَ إلى قُبْرُصَ. أمَّا بُولُسُ فَاخْتَارَ سِيلاَ وَخَرَجَ وَقَد اسْتُودِعَ مِنَ الإخْوَةِ إلى نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ. فَاجْتَازَ في الشَّامِ وَكيلِيكِيَّةَ يُثَبِّتُ الكَنَائِسَ. ثُمَّ وَصَلَ إلى دِرْبَةَ وَلِسْتَرَةَ، وَإذَا تِلْمِيذٌ كَانَ هُنَاكَ اسْمُهُ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، ابْنُ امْرَأَةٍ يَهُودِيَّةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ يُونَانِيَّاً، وَكَانَ مَشْهُوداً لَهُ مِنَ الإخْوَةِ الَّذِينَ في لِسْتَرَةَ وَإيقُونِيَةَ. فَأَرَادَ بُولُسُ أنْ يَخْرُجَ هَذَا مَعَهُ، فَأَخَذَهُ وَخَتَنَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْيَهُودِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا في ذلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ، لأنَّ الْجَمِيعَ كَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ أَباهُ كَانَ يُونَانِيَّاً. وَإذْ كَانَا يَطُوفَانِ في الْمُدُنِ كَانَا يَشْتَرِعَانِ لَهُمْ نَامُوسَاً بِأنْ يَحْفَظُوا الأَوَامِرَ الَّتي قَرَّرَهَا الرُّسُلُ وَالْقُسُوسُ الَّذِينَ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ. فَكَانَتِ الْكَنَائِسُ تَتَشَدَّدُ في الإيمَانِ وَتَزْدَادُ في الْعَدَدِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. لَمْ تَزَلْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وتَكْثُرُ وتَعْتَزُّ وتَثْبُتُ، في بِيعَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ. آمين.

سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ تَسْبِيحاً جَدِيداً، سَبِّحِي الرَّبَّ يا كُلَّ الأرْض. سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ وَبَارِكُوا اسْمَهُ، بَشِّرُوا مِنْ يَوْمٍ إلى يَوْمٍ بِخَلاصِهِ. هَلِّلُويَا.

The Gospel according to Saint Mark

الإنجيل من مرقس

1:1-11

١ : ١ − ١١

*The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee. A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins. And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him. And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Glory be to God forever.

بَدْءُ إنْجِيلِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ ابْنِ اللَّهِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ في إشَعْيَاءَ النَّبِيِّ: "هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ مَلاَكِي أمَامَ وَجْهِكَ، الَّذِي يُهَيِّئُ طَرِيقَكَ قُدَّامَكَ. صَوْتُ الصَارِخِ في الْبَرِّيَّةِ: أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ، قَوِّمُوا سُبُلَهُ". وَكَانَ يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ في الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَيَكْرِزُ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ لِمَغْفِرَةِ الْخَطَايَا. وَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ إلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ كُورَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَكُلُّ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَعْتَمِدُونَ مِنْهُ في نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ. وَكَانَ يُوحَنَّا يَلْبَسُ وَبَرَ الإبِلِ، وَمِنْطَقَةً مِنْ جِلْدٍ عَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ، وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ جَرَاداً وَعَسَلاً بَرِّيَّاً. وَكَانَ يِكْرِزُ قَائِلاً: "يَأتِي بَعْدِي مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنِّي، الَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلاً أنْ أَنْحَنِيَ وَأَحُلَّ سُيُورَ حِذَائِهِ. أنا عَمَّدْتُكُمْ بِمَاءٍ، وَأمَّا هُوَ فَسَيُعَمِّدُكُمْ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ". وَفي تِلْكَ الأيامِ جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنْ نَاصِرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ وَاعْتَمَدَ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا في نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَلِلْوَقْتِ وَهُوَ صَاعِدٌ مِنَ الْمَاءِ رَأَى السَّمَوَاتِ قَدْ انْشَقَّتْ، وَالرُّوحَ مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ نَازِلاً وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيْهِ. وَكَانَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَوَاتِ: "أَنْتَ هُوَ ابْنِي حَبِيبِي الَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ". وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.
