常年期第二十五周星期一

Monday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time

读经一

恭读箴言 3:27-34

我儿:你若有能力做到,不要拒绝向有求于你的人行善;如果你能即刻做到,不要对你的近人说:“去!明天再来,我才给你。”几时你的近人安心与你居住,你不应暗算他。若他人没有加害你,你不应与他无端争辩。不要羡慕强暴的人,更不要选择他的任何行径,因为上主厌恶乖戾的人,挚爱正直的人。上主诅咒恶人的住宅,祝福义人的寓所。上主嘲弄好愚弄的人,却宠爱谦卑的人。

Reading 1

A reading from the book of Proverbs 3:27-34

Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim
when it is in your power to do it for him.
Say not to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give,” when you can give at once.

Plot no evil against your neighbor,
against one who lives at peace with you.
Quarrel not with a man without cause,
with one who has done you no harm.

Envy not the lawless man
and choose none of his ways:
To the LORD the perverse one is an abomination,
but with the upright is his friendship.

The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
but the dwelling of the just he blesses;
When dealing with the arrogant, he is stern,
but to the humble he shows kindness.

福音

恭读圣路加福音 8:16-18

那时候,耶稣对群众说:“没有人点上灯,用器皿遮盖住,或放在床底下的,而是放在灯台上,为叫进来的人看见光明;因为没有隐藏的事,不被显露的;没有秘密的事,不被知道而公开出来的。所以,你们应当留心要怎样听:因为凡有的,还要给他;凡没有的,连他自以为有的,也要从他夺去。”

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 8:16-18

Jesus said to the crowd:
“No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel
or sets it under a bed;
rather, he places it on a lampstand
so that those who enter may see the light.
For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible,
and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
Take care, then, how you hear.
To anyone who has, more will be given,
and from the one who has not,
even what he seems to have will be taken away.”
