Seventh Week in Ordinary Time

常年期第七周 星期四

 

 

First Reading:  SIR 5:1-8

读经一（归向上主，不要迟缓。）

恭读德训篇 5:1-10

 

Rely not on your wealth; say not: "I have the power." Rely not on your strength in following the desires of your heart.

我儿，你不要依恃财物，也不要说：为我的已经够了。不要顺从你的偏情和你的能力，去满足你心中的欲望。

 

Say not: "Who can prevail against me?" or, "Who will subdue me for my deeds?" for God will surely exact the punishment.

不要说：谁能宰制我？谁能因我的行为屈服我？因为上主必要报复。

 

Say not: "I have sinned, yet what has befallen me?" for the Most High bides his time. Of forgiveness be not overconfident, adding sin upon sin.

不要说：我犯了罪，遭受了什么灾殃？因为上主是富于含忍的。关于罪的赦免，应心怀恐惧之情，免得罪上加罪。

 

Say not: "Great is his mercy; my many sins he will forgive." For mercy and anger alike are with him; upon the wicked alights his wrath.

不要说：他的仁慈宽大，我纵有许多罪过，必蒙赦免；因为怜悯和义怒皆系于他，他的愤怒将在罪人身上得以平息。

 

Delay not your conversion to the LORD, put it not off from day to day. For suddenly his wrath flames forth; at the time of vengeance you will be destroyed.

归向上主，不要迟缓，不要一天一天地拖延；因为，上主的义怒忽然降来，他要在报复的日期，将你消灭。

 

Rely not upon deceitful wealth, for it will be no help on the day of wrath.

不要依靠不义之财，因为在义怒的日子，它们毫无用处。

Gospel  MK 9:41-50

福音（你残废进入生命，比有两只手到地狱里去更好。）

恭读圣马尔谷福音 9:41-50

 

Jesus said to his disciples: "Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

那时，耶稣对他的门徒们说：“谁若因你们属于基督，而给你们一杯水喝，我实在告诉你们：他决不会失掉他的赏报。

 

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

谁若使这些信者中的一个小子跌倒，倒不如拿一块驴拉的磨石，套在他的脖子上，投在海里，为他更好。

 

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.

倘若你的手使你跌倒，砍掉它！你残废进入生命，比有两只手而往地狱里，到那不灭的火里去更好。

 

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.

倘若你的脚使你跌倒，砍掉它！你瘸腿进入生命，比有双脚投入地狱里更好。

 

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

倘若你的眼使你跌倒，剜出它来！你一只眼进入天国，比有两只眼被投入地狱里更好，那里的虫子不死，火也不灭。

 

Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will you restore its flavor? Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.

因为所有的人都要用火醃起来。盐是好的；但盐若成了不咸的，你们可用什么去调和它？在你们中间当有盐，又该彼此和平相处。”
