| Epistle Reading St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy 2:1-10 | رسالة بولس الثانية الى تيموثاوس 2: 1-10 |
Timothy, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on service gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to satisfy the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hardworking farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, as preached in my gospel, the gospel for which I am suffering and wearing fetters like a criminal. But the word of God is not fettered. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus with its eternal glory. | يَا وَلَدي تِيمُوثَاوُس، تَقَوَّ أَنْتَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. وَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنِّي بِشُهُودٍ كَثِيرِينَ، أَوْدِعْهُ أُنَاساً أُمَنَاءَ، يَكُونُونَ أَكْفَاءً أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا آخَرِينَ أَيْضاً. فَاشْتَرِكْ أَنْتَ فِي احْتِمَالِ الْمَشَقَّاتِ كَجُنْدِيٍّ صَالِحٍ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ يَتَجَنَّدُ يَرْتَبِكُ بِأَعْمَالِ الْحَيَاةِ لِكَيْ يُرْضِيَ مَنْ جَنَّدَهُ، وَأَيْضاً إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُجَاهِدُ لاَ يُكَلَّلُ إِنْ لَمْ يُجَاهِدْ قَانُونِيّاً. يَجِبُ أَنَّ الْحَرَّاثَ الَّذِي يَتْعَبُ يَشْتَرِكُ هُوَ أَوَّلاً فِي الأَثْمَارِ. افْهَمْ مَا أَقُولُ. فَلْيُعْطِكَ الرَّبُّ فَهْماً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. اُذْكُرْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ الْمُقَامَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ مِنْ نَسْلِ دَاوُدَ بِحَسَبِ إِنْجِيلِي، الَّذِي فِيهِ أَحْتَمِلُ الْمَشَقَّاتِ حَتَّى الْقُيُودَ كَمُذْنِبٍ. لَكِنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ لاَ تُقَيَّدُ. لأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنَا أَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لأَجْلِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ، لِكَيْ يَحْصُلُوا هُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى الْخَلاَصِ الَّذِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ مَعَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيٍّ. |
| Gospel Reading Luke 9:18-22 | لوقا 9: 18- 22 |
At that time, it happened that as Jesus was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?" And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen." And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God." But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised." | 18 في ذلك الزمان فِيمَا يسوع يُصَلِّي عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ كَانَ التَّلاَمِيذُ مَعَهُ. فَسَأَلَهُمْ قَائِلاً : ((مَنْ تَقُولُ الْجُمُوعُ إِنِّي أَنَا؟)) 19فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالوا : ((يُوحَنَّا الْمَعْمَدَانُ. وَآخَرُونَ : إِيلِيَّا. وَآخَرُونَ : إِنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الْقُدَمَاءِ قَامَ)). 20فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: ((وَأَنْتُمْ ، مَنْ تَقُولُونَ إِنِّي أَنَا؟)) فَأَجَابَ بُطْرُسُ وَقَالَ : ((مَسِيحُ اللهِ!)). 21فَانْتَهَرَهُمْ وَأَوْصَى أَنْ لاَ يَقُولُوا ذَلِكَ لأَحَدٍ،22قَائِلاً: ((إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ يَتَأَلَّمُ كَثِيراً ، وَيُرْفَضُ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالْكَتَبَةِ ، وَيُقْتَلُ ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يَقُومُ)).
