读经一

恭读约伯传 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5

上主由旋风中向约伯发言说:“你有生之日,何尝给晨光出过命令,又何尝使曙光知道它之所在?何尝使光握紧大地四角,将恶人从那里赶出去?曙光改变大地,如在胶泥上盖印;使万物出现,如着锦衣;撤去恶人的光明,折断高举的手。

“你曾否到过海的源流,走过深渊的底处?死亡的门给你开启过吗?你见过死影之门吗?你知道大地的广阔吗?你若知道,请你说吧!走往光明之所的路是那一条?黑暗的住处在那里?你知道如何引导黑暗到自己的境地,领黑暗回到自己居所的道路上吗?你总该知道,因为你那时已诞生了,而你的年岁已很高。”

约伯回答上主说:“看,我这么卑贱,我能回答什么?只好用手掩口。我说过一次,再不敢重复;我再说一次:我不敢再说什么!”

Reading 1

A reading from the book of Job 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5

The LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said:

Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning
and shown the dawn its place
For taking hold of the ends of the earth,
till the wicked are shaken from its surface?
The earth is changed as is clay by the seal,
and dyed as though it were a garment;
But from the wicked the light is withheld,
and the arm of pride is shattered.

Have you entered into the sources of the sea,
or walked about in the depths of the abyss?
Have the gates of death been shown to you,
or have you seen the gates of darkness?
Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all:
Which is the way to the dwelling place of light,
and where is the abode of darkness,
That you may take them to their boundaries
and set them on their homeward paths?
You know, because you were born before them,
and the number of your years is great!

Then Job answered the LORD and said:

Behold, I am of little account; what can I answer you?
I put my hand over my mouth.
Though I have spoken once, I will not do so again;
though twice, I will do so no more.

福音

恭读圣路加福音 10:13-16

耶稣说:“苛辣匝因啊,你是有祸的了!贝特赛达啊,你是有祸的了!因为在你们那里所行的异能,如果行在提洛及漆冬,他们早已披上苦衣,坐在灰尘中,而改过自新了。但是在审判时,提洛和漆冬所受的惩罚,要比你们容易忍受。还有你,葛法翁啊!莫非你要被高举到天上吗?将来你必被推下阴府。听你们的,就是听我;拒绝你们的,就是拒绝我;拒绝我的,就是拒绝那派遣我的。”

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 10:13-16

Jesus said to them,
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would long ago have repented,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon
at the judgment than for you.
And as for you, Capernaum, ‘Will you be exalted to heaven?
You will go down to the netherworld.’
Whoever listens to you listens to me.
Whoever rejects you rejects me. 
And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
