常年期第三十主日

 

 

First Reading: SIR 35:12-14, 16-18

读经一（谦卑人的祈祷，穿云而上。）

恭读德训篇　35:12-14,16-18

 

The LORD is a God of justice, who knows no favorites. Though not unduly partial toward the weak, yet he hears the cry of the oppressed.

上主是审判者，决不看情面。他决不偏袒任何人，而加害穷人；他乐于俯听受压迫者的祈祷。

 

The Lord is not deaf to the wail of the orphan, nor to the widow when she pours out her complaint.

他决不轻视孤儿的哀求，及寡妇诉苦的叹息。

 

The one who serves God willingly is heard; his petition reaches the heavens.

诚心诚意恭敬天主的，必蒙接纳；他的祈祷上彻云霄。

 

The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds; it does not rest till it reaches its goal,

谦卑人的祈祷，穿云而上，不达到目的，决不罢休；

 

nor will it withdraw till the Most High responds, judges justly and affirms the right, and the Lord will not delay.

除非至高者答应，为义人伸冤，执行正义，他决不离开。上主决不迟延。

Second Reading : 2 TM 4:6-8, 16-18

读经二（正义的冠冕已为我预备好了。）

恭读圣保禄宗徒致弟茂德后书　4:6-8,16-18

 

Beloved: I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.

亲爱的：我已被奠祭，我离世的时期，已经近了。这场好仗，我已打完；这场赛跑，我已跑到终点；这信仰，我已保持了。

 

From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

从今以后，正义的冠冕，已为我预备好了，就是主、正义的审判者，到那一日，必要赏赐给我的；不但赏赐给我，而且也赏赐给一切爱慕他显现的人。

 

At my first defense no one appeared on my behalf, but everyone deserted me.

在我初次过堂时，没有人在我身旁；众人都离弃了我。

 

May it not be held against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it.

愿天主不归罪于他们！但是，主却在我左右，坚固了我，使福音的宣讲，藉着我而完成，使一切外邦人，都能听见；

 

And I was rescued from the lion's mouth.

我也从狮子口中，被救了出来。

 

The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.

主要救我脱离各种凶恶的事，也要使我安全地进入他天上的国。

 

To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.

愿光荣归于他，于无穷世之世！阿们。

Gospel LK 18:9-14

福音（这个税吏下去，成了正义的人，而那个法利塞人却不然。）

恭读圣路加福音　18:9-14

 

Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.

那时候，耶稣向几个自以为义人，而轻视其他人的人，设了这个比喻：

 

"Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.

“有两个人上圣殿去祈祷：一个是法利塞人，另一个是税吏。

 

The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector.

那个法利塞人站着，心里这样祈祷：天主，我感谢你，因为我不像其他人，勒索、不义、奸淫，也不像这个税吏。

 

I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.'

我每周两次禁食，凡我所得的，都捐献十分之一。

 

But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, 'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'

那个税吏却远远地站着，连举目望天都不敢，只是捶着自己的胸膛说：天主，可怜我这个罪人吧！

 

I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

我告诉你们：这税吏回到他家里，成了正义的人，而那法利塞人却不然。因为凡高举自己的，必被贬抑；凡贬抑自己的，必被高举。”
