常年期第三十四周 星期一

 

 

First Reading:  Rv 14:1-3, 4b-5

读经一（你们的额上都刻着羔羊的名号和他父的名号。）

恭读默示录 14:1-3,4-5

 

I, John, looked and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

我，若望，在神视中看见羔羊站在熙雍山上，同他在一起的，还有十四万四千人，他们的额上都刻着羔羊的名号和他父的名号。

 

I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing water or a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.

我听见一个声音来自天上，好像大水的声音，又好像巨雷的声音；我所听见的那声音，也好像弹琴者在自己的琴上所弹奏的声音。

 

They were singing what seemed to be a new hymn before the throne, before the four living creatures and the elders.

他们在宝座前，在那四个活物和长老前唱的歌，似乎是一首新歌；

 

No one could learn this hymn except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.

除了那些从地上赎回来的十四万四千人外，谁也不能学会那歌。羔羊无论到那里去，他们常跟随着羔羊。

 

They have been ransomed as the first fruits of the human race for God and the Lamb. On their lips no deceit has been found; they are unblemished.

这些人是从人类中赎回来，献给天主和羔羊当作初熟之果的；他们没有说过谎言，他们身上也没有瑕疵。

Gospel  Lk 21:1-4

福音（耶稣看见一个穷苦的寡妇，把两文钱投入奉献箱里。）

恭读圣路加福音 21:1-4

 

When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.

那时，耶稣举目一望，看见有钱的人把献仪投入奉献箱里。他又看见一个贫苦的寡妇，把两文钱投入里面，

 

He said, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood."

遂说：“我实在告诉你们：这个穷寡妇比众人投入的都多，因为众人都是拿他们多余的投入，作为给天主的献仪；而这个寡妇却是从她的不足中，把她所有的一切生活费都投进去了。”
