常年期第二十六周星期日
Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读亚毛斯先知书 6:1, 4-7
全能的上主这样说：
“那些安身于熙雍，自恃于撒玛黎雅山，自命为诸民之首的人，是有祸的。他们躺在象牙床上，横卧在软榻上，吃着羊群中的羊羔，及牛栏中的牛犊，伴着琴声吟咏，自比达味，发明乐器，大碗喝酒，以上等的油抹身，但对若瑟的崩溃，却漠不关心。为此，这些人，现在就要先被掳去；放荡不羁者的狂欢，也就完了。”
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Amos 6:1a, 4-7
Thus says the LORD the God of hosts:
Woe to the complacent in Zion!
Lying upon beds of ivory,
stretched comfortably on their couches,
they eat lambs taken from the flock,
and calves from the stall!
Improvising to the music of the harp,
like David, they devise their own accompaniment.
They drink wine from bowls
and anoint themselves with the best oils;
yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!
Therefore, now they shall be the first to go into exile,
and their wanton revelry shall be done away with.
读经二
恭读圣保禄宗徒致弟茂德前书 6:11-16
天主的人哪！你要追求正义、虔敬、信德、爱德、坚忍和良善；要努力打这场有关信仰的好仗；要争取永生。你正是为此而蒙召，并为此，在许多证人面前，宣示了你那美好的誓言。
我在使万有生活的天主前，及在曾对般雀比拉多宣示过美好誓言的基督耶稣前，命令你：务要保守这训令，不受玷污，无可指摘，直到天主在预定的时期，使我们的主耶稣基督，显现出来。
天主是那真福、唯一全能者，万王之王，万主之主，独享不死不灭者，住于不可接近的光明中，没有人看见过，也不能看见的。愿尊威和永远的权能，归于他！阿们。
Reading 2
A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to Timothy 6:11-16
But you, man of God, pursue righteousness,
devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Compete well for the faith.
Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called
when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses.
I charge you before God, who gives life to all things,
and before Christ Jesus,
who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble confession,
to keep the commandment without stain or reproach
until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ
that the blessed and only ruler
will make manifest at the proper time,
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light,
and whom no human being has seen or can see.
To him be honor and eternal power. Amen.
福音
恭读圣路加福音 16:19-31
那时候，耶稣对法利塞人说：
“有一个富翁，身穿紫红袍及细麻衣，天天奢华宴乐。另有一个乞丐，名叫拉匝禄，满身疮痍，躺卧在富翁的大门前。拉匝禄指望得到从富翁桌上掉下的碎屑充饥，但只有狗来舔他的疮痍。那乞丐死了，天使把他送到亚巴郎的怀抱里。那个富翁也死了，被人埋葬了。
那富翁在阴间，痛苦地举目一望，远远看见亚巴郎，及在他怀中的拉匝禄，便喊叫说：父亲亚巴郎！可怜我吧！请打发拉匝禄，用他的指尖，蘸点水，来凉润我的舌头，因为我在这火焰中，非常痛苦。
亚巴郎说：孩子，你应记得，你活着的时候，已享尽了你的福，而拉匝禄同样也受尽了苦。现在，他在这里受安慰，而你应受苦了。除此之外，在我们与你们之间，隔着一个巨大的深渊，就算有人愿意，从这边去到你们那边，也不可能，从那边来到我们这边，也不可能。
那富翁说：父亲！那么，就请你打发拉匝禄到我家去，因为我有五个兄弟，叫拉匝禄警告他们，免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。
亚巴郎说：他们自有梅瑟及先知，让他们听从好了。
那富翁说：不，父亲亚巴郎！倘若有人从死者中，到他们那里，他们必会悔改。
亚巴郎给他说：如果他们不听从梅瑟及先知，纵使有人从死者中复活，他们也不会信服。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 16:19-31
Jesus said to the Pharisees:
“There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen
and dined sumptuously each day.
And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps
that fell from the rich man’s table.
Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.
When the poor man died,
he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried,
and from the netherworld, where he was in torment,
he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off
and Lazarus at his side.
And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me.
Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,
for I am suffering torment in these flames.’
Abraham replied,
‘My child, remember that you received
what was good during your lifetime
while Lazarus likewise received what was bad;
but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established
to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go
from our side to yours or from your side to ours.’
He said, ‘Then I beg you, father,
send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,
so that he may warn them,
lest they too come to this place of torment.’
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets.
Let them listen to them.’
He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham,
but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'”
