St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 12:7-11

رسالة بولس الاولى الى اهل كورنثس 12: 7-11

Brethren, to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

يا اخوة، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ يُعْطَى إِظْهَارُ الرُّوحِ لِلْمَنْفَعَةِ. فَإِنَّهُ لِوَاحِدٍ يُعْطَى بِالرُّوحِ كَلاَمُ حِكْمَةٍ. وَلآخَرَ كَلاَمُ عِلْمٍ بِحَسَبِ الرُّوحِ الْوَاحِدِ. وَلآخَرَ إِيمَانٌ بِالرُّوحِ الْوَاحِدِ. وَلآخَرَ مَوَاهِبُ شِفَاءٍ بِالرُّوحِ الْوَاحِدِ. وَلآخَرَ عَمَلُ قُوَّاتٍ وَلآخَرَ نُبُوَّةٌ وَلآخَرَ تَمْيِيزُ الأَرْوَاحِ وَلآخَرَ أَنْوَاعُ أَلْسِنَةٍ وَلآخَرَ تَرْجَمَةُ أَلْسِنَةٍ. وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا يَعْمَلُهَا الرُّوحُ الْوَاحِدُ بِعَيْنِهِ قَاسِماً لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ بِمُفْرَدِهِ كَمَا يَشَاءُ.

Gospel Reading
Luke 14:1, 12-15

لوقا 14: 1، 12-15

At that time, Jesus entered the home of a certain ruler of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread. And he said to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

1 في ذلك الزمان دخل يسوع إِلَى بَيْتِ أَحَدِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ فِي السَّبْتِ لِيَأْكُلَ خُبْزاً، 12فقَالَ أَيْضاً لِلَّذِي دَعَاهُ: ((إِذَا صَنَعْتَ غَدَاءً أَوْ عَشَاءً فَلاَ تَدْعُ أَصْدِقَاءَكَ وَلاَ إِخْوَتَكَ وَلاَ أَقْرِبَاءَكَ وَلاَ الْجِيرَانَ الأَغْنِيَاءَ ، لِئَلاَّ يَدْعُوكَ هُمْ أَيْضاً فَتَكُونَ لَكَ مُكَافَاةٌ. 13بَلْ إِذَا صَنَعْتَ ضِيَافَةً فَادْعُ : الْمَسَاكِينَ الْجُدْعَ ، الْعُرْجَ ، الْعُمْيَ 14فَيَكُونَ لَكَ الطُّوبَى إِذْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يُكَافُوكَ ، لأَنَّكَ تُكَافَى فِي قِيَامَةِ الأَبْرَارِ)). 15فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْمُتَّكِئِينَ قَالَ لَهُ: ((طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَأْكُلُ خُبْزاً فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ)).
