A psalm of David

مزمور لداود

17:47,48

١٧ : ٤٧، ٤٨

*It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me; my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man. Alleluia.

*حي هو الرب ومبارك هو إلهي. ويتعالى إله خلاصي. الله المعطى الانتقام لي. أخضع الشعوب تحتي. هلليلويا هَلِّلُويَا.

The Gospel according to Saint John

الإنجيل من يوحنا

6:70-7:1

٦ : ٧٠ − ٧ : ١

*And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil? Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve. Christ goes up to the feast of the tabernacles. He teaches in the temple. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Glory be to God forever.

أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«أَلَيْسَ أَنِّي أَنَا اخْتَرْتُكُمْ، الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ؟ وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْطَانٌ!» قَالَ عَنْ يَهُوذَا سِمْعَانَ الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ، لأَنَّ هذَا كَانَ مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَهُ، وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. وَكَانَ يَسُوعُ يَتَرَدَّدُ بَعْدَ هذَا فِي الْجَلِيلِ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الْيَهُودِيَّةِ لأَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ. وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

117:25

١١٧ : ٢٥

*O Lord, save now: O Lord, send now prosperity. Alleluia.

*مبارك الآتي باسم الرب. باركناكم فى بيت الرب. الله الرب أضاء علينا. هلليلويا هَلِّلُويَا.

The Gospel according to Saint Mark

الإنجيل من مرقس

7:5-8

٧ : ٥ − ٨

*And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands? But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men. For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these. Glory be to God forever.

ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ وَالْكَتَبَةُ: «لِمَاذَا لاَ يَسْلُكُ تَلاَمِيذُكَ حَسَبَ سُنة الشُّيُوخِ، بَلْ بِأَيْدٍ دنسة يَأْكُلُونَ الخُبْز؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ قَائلاً:«حَسَناً تَنَبَّأَ عَنْكُمْ أشَعْيَاءُ أَيها الْمُرَاءونَ! كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: هذَا الشَّعْبُ يُكْرِمُنِي بِشَفَتَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا قَلْوبَهُمْ فَبعدة عَنِّي، فَهُمْ بَاطِلاً يَعْبُدُونَنِي إذ يُعَلِّمُونَ تَعَالِيمَ (هِيَ) وَصَايَا النَّاسِ. لأَنَّكُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ اللهِ وَتَمَسكتم بِسُنَّة النَّاسِ من غَسْلَ أَبَارِيقٍ وَكُؤُوسٍ، وَأشياءً أُخَرى كَثِيرَةً». وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.

The Pauline Epistle from Romans

البولس من رومية

6:5-11

٦ : ٥ − ١١

*For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer. For he that is dead is justified from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ: Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him. For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God: So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord. The grace of God the Father be with you all. Amen.

لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ صِرْنَا مُتَّحِدِينَ مَعَهُ بِشِبْهِ مَوْتِهِ، نَصِيرُ أَيْضًا بِقِيَامَتِهِ. عَالِمِينَ هذَا: أَنَّ إِنْسَانَنَا الْعَتِيقَ قَدْ صُلِبَ مَعَهُ لِيُبْطَلَ جَسَدُ الْخَطِيَّةِ، كَيْ لاَ نَعُودَ نُسْتَعْبَدُ أَيْضًا لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. لأَنَّ الَّذِي مَاتَ قَدْ تَبَرَّأَ مِنَ الْخَطِيَّةِ. فَإِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ مُتْنَا مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ، نُؤْمِنُ أَنَّنَا سَنَحْيَا أَيْضًا مَعَهُ. عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ الْمَسِيحَ بَعْدَمَا أُقِيمَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ لاَ يَمُوتُ أَيْضًا. لاَ يَسُودُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتُ بَعْدُ. لأَنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي مَاتَهُ قَدْ مَاتَهُ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، وَالْحَيَاةُ الَّتِي يَحْيَاهَا فَيَحْيَاهَا ِللهِ. كَذلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا احْسِبُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَمْوَاتًا عَنِ الْخَطِيَّةِ، وَلكِنْ أَحْيَاءً ِللهِ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا. نعمةُ اللَّهِ الآبِ فَلْتَحِلَّ عَلَى أرواحِنا يا آبائي وإخْوَتي. آمين.

The Catholic Epistle from 1 John

الكاثوليكون من يوحنا الأولى

4:18-5:1

٤ : ١٨ − ٥ : ١

*Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity. Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us. If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not? And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother. Of them that are born of God, and of true charity. Faith overcomes the world. Three that bear witness to Christ. Of faith in his name and of sin that is and is not to death. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Amen.

لاَ خَوْفَ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، بَلِ الْمَحَبَّةُ الْكَامِلَةُ تَطْرَحُ الْخَوْفَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لأَنَّ الْخَوْفَ لَهُ عَذَابٌ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَمَّلْ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ. نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلاً. إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ:«إِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ» وَأَبْغَضَ أَخَاهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ. لأَنَّ مَنْ لاَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ الَّذِي أَبْصَرَهُ، كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُحِبَّ اللهَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ؟ وَلَنَا هذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا. كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ فَقَدْ وُلِدَ مِنَ اللهِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ الْوَالِدَ يُحِبُّ الْمَوْلُودَ مِنْهُ أَيْضًا. لا تُحِبُّوا العَالَمَ ولا الأشْيَاءَ التي في العَالَمِ، لأنَّ العَالَمَ يمْضِي وَشَهْوَتُهُ مَعَهُ، وأمَّا مَنْ يَعملُ مَشِيئَةَ اللهِ فإنه يَثْبُتُ إلى الأبدِ. آمين.

7:51-54

٧ : ٥١ − ٥٤

*You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him. The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God. Amen.

«يَا قُسَاةَ الرِّقَابِ، وَغَيْرَ الْمَخْتُونِينَ بِالْقُلُوبِ وَالآذَانِ! أَنْتُمْ دَائِمًا تُقَاوِمُونَ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ. كَمَا كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ كَذلِكَ أَنْتُمْ! أَيُّ الأَنْبِيَاءِ لَمْ يَضْطَهِدْهُ آبَاؤُكُمْ؟ وَقَدْ قَتَلُوا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُوا فَأَنْبَأُوا بِمَجِيءِ الْبَارِّ، الَّذِي أَنْتُمُ الآنَ صِرْتُمْ مُسَلِّمِيهِ وَقَاتِلِيهِ، الَّذِينَ أَخَذْتُمُ النَّامُوسَ بِتَرْتِيبِ مَلاَئِكَةٍ وَلَمْ تَحْفَظُوهُ». فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا هذَا حَنِقُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ وَصَرُّوا بِأَسْنَانِهِمْ عَلَيْهِ. لَمْ تَزَلْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ تَنْمُو وتَكْثُرُ وتَعْتَزُّ وتَثْبُتُ، في بِيعَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ. آمين.

*استمع صلاتي وتضرعي. وانصت إلى دموعي ولا تسكت عنى. لأني أنا غريب على الأرض. ومجتاز مثل جميع آبائي. هلليلويا هَلِّلُويَا.

The Gospel according to Saint John

الإنجيل من يوحنا

17:18-21

١٧ : ١٨ − ٢١

*As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me; That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Glory be to God forever.

كَمَا أَرْسَلْتَنِي إِلَى الْعَالَمِ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ أَنَا إِلَى الْعَالَمِ، وَلأَجْلِهِمْ أُقَدِّسُ أَنَا ذَاتِي، لِيَكُونُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مُقَدَّسِينَ فِي الْحَقِّ. «وَلَسْتُ أَسْأَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِ هؤُلاَءِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي بِكَلاَمِهِمْ، لِيَكُونَ الْجَمِيعُ وَاحِدًا، كَمَا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الآبُ فِيَّ وَأَنَا فِيكَ، لِيَكُونُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا وَاحِدًا فِينَا، لِيُؤْمِنَ الْعَالَمُ أَنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَنِي. وَالْمَجْدُ لِلَّهِ دَائِماً.
