耶稣显圣容庆日

Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord

读经一

恭读达尼尔先知书 7:9-10, 13-14

我、达尼尔,在神视中,看见宝座安置好了,上面坐着一位万古常存者。他的衣服洁白如雪,他的头发洁白如羊毛,他的宝座好似火焰; 宝座的轮子,如同烈火。一道火河涌出,从他面前流下。服事他的,成千上万;侍立在他面前的,不可胜数。审判者已坐堂,案卷已展开。

我在夜间的神视中观望:看见一位相似人子者,乘着天上的云彩而来,走向万古常存者,便立即被引领到万古常存者面前。万古常存者便赐给那相似人子者,统治权、尊荣和国度。 各民族、各邦国,及说各种语言的人民,都要事奉那相似人子者;他的王权是永远的王权,永存不替;他的国度永不灭亡。

Reading 1

A reading from the book of the Prophet Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14

As I watched:

    Thrones were set up
        and the Ancient One took his throne.
    His clothing was bright as snow,
        and the hair on his head as white as wool;
    his throne was flames of fire,
        with wheels of burning fire.
    A surging stream of fire
        flowed out from where he sat;
    Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
        and myriads upon myriads attended him.
The court was convened and the books were opened.

As the visions during the night continued, I saw:

    One like a Son of man coming,
        on the clouds of heaven;
    When he reached the Ancient One
        and was presented before him,
    The one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
        all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
    His dominion is an everlasting dominion
        that shall not be taken away,
        his kingship shall not be destroyed.

福音

恭读圣路加福音 9:28-36

那时候,耶稣带着伯多禄、若望和雅各伯,上山祈祷。

正当耶稣祈祷时,他的面容改变,他的衣服洁白发光。

忽然,有两个人,即梅瑟和厄里亚,同耶稣谈话。他们显现在光耀中,谈论耶稣的去世,即耶稣在耶路撒冷,必要完成的事。

伯多禄和他的同伴,都昏昏欲睡。他们一醒过来,就看见耶稣的光耀,及在耶稣旁边侍立的两个人。

那两个人正要离开时,伯多禄对耶稣说:“老师,我们在这里真好!让我们搭三个帐棚:一个为你,一个为梅瑟,一个为厄里亚。”他原来不知道要说什么。

伯多禄说这话的时候,有一片云彩遮蔽了耶稣、梅瑟和厄里亚。他们进入云彩时,门徒就害怕起来。

从云中有声音说:“这是我的儿子,我所拣选的,你们要听从他!”这声音发出后,只见耶稣独自一人。

当时,他们都守了秘密,把所见的事,一点也没有告诉任何人。

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:28b-36

Jesus took Peter, John, and James
and went up a mountain to pray.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance
and his clothing became dazzling white.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus
that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep,
but becoming fully awake,
they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus,
“Master, it is good that we are here;
let us make three tents,
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
But he did not know what he was saying.
While he was still speaking,
a cloud came and cast a shadow over them,
and they became frightened when they entered the cloud.
Then from the cloud came a voice that said,
“This is my chosen Son; listen to him.”
After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.
They fell silent and did not at that time
tell anyone what they had seen.
