| Epistle Reading St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 8:1-5 | رسالة بولس الثانية الى اهل كورنثس 8: 1-5 |
Brethren, I want you to know about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of liberality on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints - and this, not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. | يَُّا إِخْوَة، إِنَّا نُعَرِّفُكُمْ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ الْمُعْطَاةَ فِي كَنَائِسِ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، أَنَّهُ فِي اخْتِبَارِ ضِيقَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ فَاضَ وُفُورُ فَرَحِهِمْ وَفَقْرِهِمِ الْعَمِيقِ لِغِنَى سَخَائِهِمْ، أَنَّهُمْ أَعْطَوْا حَسَبَ الطَّاقَةِ، أَنَا أَشْهَدُ، وَفَوْقَ الطَّاقَةِ، مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، مُلْتَمِسِينَ مِنَّا، بِطِلْبَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، أَنْ نَقْبَلَ النِّعْمَةَ وَشَرِكَةَ الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ. وَلَيْسَ كَمَا رَجَوْنَا، بَلْ أَعْطَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَوَّلاً لِلرَّبِّ، وَلَنَا، بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ. |
| Gospel Reading Luke 9:37-43 | لوقا 9: 37- 43 |
At that time, as Jesus had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child; and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here." While he was coming the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. And all were astonished at the majesty of God. | 37 فِي ذلك الزمان فيما يسوع نازل مِنَ الْجَبَلِ ، اسْتَقْبَلَهُ جَمْعٌ كَثِيرٌ. 38وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ صَرَخَ قَائِلاً : ((يَا مُعَلِّمُ ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ. اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ابْنِي ، فَإِنَّهُ وَحِيدٌ لِي. 39وَهَا رُوحٌ يَأْخُذُهُ فَيَصْرُخُ بَغْتَةً ، فَيَصْرَعُهُ مُزْبِداً ، وَبِالْجَهْدِ يُفَارِقُهُ مُرَضِّضاً إِيَّاهُ. 40وَطَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلاَمِيذِكَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا)). 41فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ : ((أَيُّهَا الْجِيلُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُلْتَوِي إِلَى مَتَى أَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ وَأَحْتَمِلُكُمْ؟ قَدِّمِ ابْنَكَ إِلَى هُنَا !)). 42وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ آتٍ مَزَّقَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَصَرَعَهُ ، فَانْتَهَرَ يَسُوعُ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ ، وَشَفَى الصَّبِيَّ وَسَلَّمَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. 43فَبُهِتَ الْجَمِيعُ مِنْ عَظَمَةِ اللهِ.
