St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 5:22-26; 6:1-2

رسالة بولس الاولى الى غلاطية 5: 22-26 6: 1-2

Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

رَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ: مَحَبَّةٌ فَرَحٌ سَلاَمٌ، طُولُ أَنَاةٍ لُطْفٌ صَلاَحٌ، إِيمَانٌ وَدَاعَةٌ تَعَفُّفٌ. ضِدَّ أَمْثَالِ هَذِهِ لَيْسَ نَامُوسٌ. وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ صَلَبُوا الْجَسَدَ مَعَ الأَهْوَاءِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ. إِنْ كُنَّا نَعِيشُ بِالرُّوحِ فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضاً بِحَسَبِ الرُّوحِ. لاَ نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً. أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنِ انْسَبَقَ إِنْسَانٌ فَأُخِذَ فِي زَلَّةٍ مَا، فَأَصْلِحُوا أَنْتُمُ الرُّوحَانِيِّينَ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِرُوحِ الْوَدَاعَةِ، نَاظِراً إِلَى نَفْسِكَ لِئَلاَّ تُجَرَّبَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً. اِحْمِلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ أَثْقَالَ بَعْضٍ وَهَكَذَا تَمِّمُوا نَامُوسَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Gospel Reading
Luke 18:35-43

لوقا 18: 35-43

At that time, as Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." And he cried, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me receive my sight." And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

35 في ذلك الزمان فيما يسوع بالقْرَبَ مِنْ أَرِيحَا كَانَ أَعْمَى جَالِساً علَى الطَّرِيقِ يَسْتَعْطِي. 36فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْجَمْعَ مُجْتَازاً سَأَلَ: ((مَا عَسَى أَنْيَكُونَ هَذَا؟)) 37فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ مُجْتَازٌ. 38فَصَرَخَ قَائِلاً : ((يَا يَسُوعُ ابْنَ دَاوُدَ ، ارْحَمْنِي!)). 39فَانْتَهَرَهُ الْمُتَقَدِّمُونَ لِيَسْكُتَ ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَصَرَخَ أَكْثَرَ كَثِيراً: ((يَا ابْنَ دَاوُدَ ، ارْحَمْنِي! )). 40فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ. وَلَمَّا اقْتَرَبَ سَأَلَهُ 41قَائِلاً ((مَاذَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ بِكَ؟)) فَقَالَ: ((يَا سَيِّدُ ، أَنْ أُبْصِرَ! )). 42فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: ((أَبْصِرْ. إِيمَانُكَ قَدْ شَفَاكَ)). 43وَفِي الْحَالِ أَبْصَرَ ، وَتَبِعَهُ وَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ. وَجَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ إِذْ رَأَوْا سَبَّحُوا اللهَ.
