St. Paul's First Letter to Timothy 1:8-14

رسالة بولس الاولى الى تيموثاوس 1: 8-14

Timothy, my son, we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted. I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service, though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

يَا وَلَدي تِيمُوثَاوُس، إِنَّنَا  نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ النَّامُوسَ صَالِحٌ، إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ نَامُوسِيّاً. عَالِماً هَذَا: أَنَّ النَّامُوسَ لَمْ يُوضَعْ لِلْبَارِّ، بَلْ لِلأَثَمَةِ وَالْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، لِلْفُجَّارِ وَالْخُطَاةِ، لِلدَّنِسِينَ وَالْمُسْتَبِيحِينَ، لِقَاتِلِي الآبَاءِ وَقَاتِلِي الأُمَّهَاتِ، لِقَاتِلِي النَّاسِ، لِلزُّنَاةِ، لِمُضَاجِعِي الذُّكُورِ، لِسَارِقِي النَّاسِ، لِلْكَذَّابِينَ، لِلْحَانِثِينَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ آخَرُ يُقَاوِمُ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ، حَسَبَ إِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ الْمُبَارَكِ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ.وَأَنَا أَشْكُرُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا الَّذِي قَوَّانِي، أَنَّهُ حَسِبَنِي أَمِيناً، إِذْ جَعَلَنِي لِلْخِدْمَةِ، أَنَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ قَبْلاً مُجَدِّفاً وَمُضْطَهِداً وَمُفْتَرِياً. وَلَكِنَّنِي رُحِمْتُ، لأَنِّي فَعَلْتُ بِجَهْلٍ فِي عَدَمِ إِيمَانٍ.وَتَفَاضَلَتْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا جِدّاً مَعَ الإِيمَانِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Gospel Reading
Luke 19:45-48

لوقا 19: 45-48

At that time, Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers." And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him; but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.

45في ذلك الزمان دَخَلَ يسوع الْهَيْكَلَ وابْتَدَأَ يُخْرِجُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ وَيَشْتَرُونَ فِيهِ 46قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: ((مَكْتُوبٌ : إِنَّ بَيْتِي بَيْتُ الصَّلاَةِ. وَأَنْتُمْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ ! )).47وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ ، وَكَانَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةُ مَعَ وُجُوهِ الشَّعْبِ يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يُهْلِكُوهُ، 48وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَا يَفْعَلُونَ لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ كُلَّهُ كَانَ مُتَعَلِّقاً بِهِ يَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ.
