First Reading:  HEB 10:32-39

读经一（你们忍受了严厉打击，所以千万不要丧失勇敢信心。）

恭读致希伯来人书 10:32-39

 

Remember the days past when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a great contest of suffering.

请你们回想回想先前的时日，那时你们才蒙光照，就忍受了苦难的严厉打击：

 

At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and affliction; at other times you associated yourselves with those so treated.

一方面，你们当众受嗤笑、凌辱和磨难，另一方面，你们与这样受苦的人作了同伴。

 

You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.

的确，你们同情了监禁的人，又欣然忍受了你们的财物被抢掠，因为你们知道：你们已获有更高贵且常存的产业，

 

Therefore, do not throw away your confidence; it will have great recompense. You need endurance to do the will of God and receive what he has promised.

所以千万不要丧失那使你们可得大赏报的勇敢信心。原来你们所需要的就是坚忍，为使你们承行天主的旨意，而获得那所应许的。

 

For, after just a brief moment, he who is to come shall come; he shall not delay. But my just one shall live by faith, and if he draws back I take no pleasure in him.

因为还有很短的一会儿，要来的那一位，就要来到，决不迟缓。我的义人靠信德而生活，假使他退缩，他必不会中悦我心。

 

We are not among those who draw back and perish, but among those who have faith and will possess life.

我们并不是那般退缩以致丧亡的人，而是有信德得以保全灵魂的人。

Gospel  MK 4:26-34

福音（一个人把种子撒在地里，当他睡时，种子发芽生长，至于怎样，他却不知道。）

恭读圣马尔谷福音 4:26-34

 

Jesus said to the crowds: "This is how it is with the Kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how.

那时，耶稣向群众说：“天主的国好比一个人把种子撒在地里，他黑夜白天，或睡或起，那种子发芽生长，至于怎样，他却不知道。

 

Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come."

因为土地自然生长果实：先发苗，后吐穗，最后穗又满了麦粒。当果实成熟的时候，便立刻派人以镰刀收割，因为到了收获的时期。”

 

He said, "To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.

他又说：“我们以什么比拟天主的国呢？或用什么比喻来形容它呢？它好像一粒芥子，种在地里的时候，比地上一切的种子都小；

 

But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade."

当下种之后，生长起来，比一切蔬菜都大；并且长出大枝，以致天上的飞鸟能栖息在它的荫下。”

 

With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it. Without parables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.

耶稣用许多这样的比喻，按照他们所能听懂的，给他们讲道。若不用比喻，他就不给他们讲什么，但私下里却给自己的门徒解释一切。
