| Matins Gospel Reading Luke 6:17-23 | لوقا 6: 17-23 |
At that time, Jesus stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all. And he lifted up his eyes on His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven." | 17 في ذلك الزمان وَقَفَ يسوع فِي مَوْضِعٍ سَهْلٍ ، هُوَ وَجَمْعٌ مِنْ تَلاَمِيذِهِ ، وَجُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ وَسَاحِلِ صُورَ وَصَيْدَاءَ ، الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا لِيَسْمَعُوهُ وَيُشْفَوْا مِنْ أَمْرَاضِهِمْ،18وَالْمُعَذَّبُونَ مِنْ أَرْوَاحٍ نَجِسَةٍ. وَكَانُوا يَبْرَأُونَ. 19وَكُلُّ الْجَمْعِ طَلَبُوا أَنْ يَلْمِسُوهُ ، لأَنَّ قُوَّةً كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ وَتَشْفِي الْجَمِيعَ.20وَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى تَلاَمِيذِهِ وَقَالَ: ((طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمَسَاكِينُ ، لأَنَّ لَكُمْ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ. 21طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْجِيَاعُ الآنَ لأَنَّكُمْ تُشْبَعُونَ. طُوبَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْبَاكُونَ الآنَ لأَنَّكُمْ سَتَضْحَكُونَ. 22طُوبَاكُمْ إِذَا أَبْغَضَكُمُ النَّاسُ ، وَإِذَا أَفْرَزُوكُمْ وَعَيَّرُوكُمْ ، وَأَخْرَجُوا اسْمَكُمْ كَشِرِّيرٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ. 23اِفْرَحُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَتَهَلَّلُوا ، فَهُوَذَا أَجْرُكُمْ عَظِيمٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ.

| Epistle Reading 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 Matthew 11:27-30 | متى 11:27-30 |
The Lord said to his disciples, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." | 27 قال الرب لتلاميذه كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ دُفِعَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَبِي ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الاِبْنَ إِلاَّ الآبُ ، وَلاَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ الآبَ إِلاَّ الاِبْنُ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الاِبْنُ أَنْ يُعْلِنَ لَهُ. 28تَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُتْعَبِينَ وَالثَّقِيلِي الأَحْمَالِ ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُكُمْ. 29اِحْمِلُوا نِيرِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنِّي ، لأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ وَمُتَوَاضِعُ الْقَلْبِ فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. 30لأَنَّ نِيرِي هَيِّنٌ وَحِمْلِي خَفِيفٌ.
