First Reading: EX 3:1-6, 9-12

读经一（上主从荆棘丛的火焰中显现给梅瑟。）

恭读出谷纪 3:1-6,9-12

 

Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. Leading the flock across the desert, he came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

那时梅瑟为他的岳父，米德杨的司祭耶特洛放羊；一次他赶羊往旷野里去，到了天主的山曷勒布。

 

There an angel of the LORD appeared to him in fire flaming out of a bush. As he looked on, he was surprised to see that the bush, though on fire, was not consumed.

上主的使者从荆棘丛的火焰中显现给他；他远远看见那荆棘被火焚烧；而荆棘却没有烧毁。

 

So Moses decided, "I must go over to look at this remarkable sight, and see why the bush is not burned."

梅瑟心里说：“我要到那边看看这个奇异的现象；为什么荆棘烧不毁？”

 

When the LORD saw him coming over to look at it more closely, God called out to him from the bush, "Moses! Moses!" He answered, "Here I am."

上主见他走来观看，天主便由荆棘丛中叫他说：“梅瑟！梅瑟！”他答说：“我在这里。”

 

God said, "Come no nearer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. I am the God of your father," he continued, "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

天主说：“不可到这边来！将你脚上的鞋脱下，因为你所站的地方是圣地。”又说：“我是你父亲的天主，亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主，雅各伯的天主。”

 

The cry of the children of Israel has reached me, and I have truly noted that the Egyptians are oppressing them.

梅瑟因为怕看见天主，就把脸遮起来。上主向梅瑟说：“现在以色列子民的哀号已达于我前，我也亲自看见埃及人加于他们的压迫。

 

Come, now!  I will send you to Pharaoh to lead my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."

所以你来，我要派你到法郎那里，率领我的百姓以色列出离埃及。”

 

But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

梅瑟对天主说：“我是谁，竟敢去见法郎，率领以色列子民出离埃及？”

 

He answered, "I will be with you; and this shall be your proof that it is I who have sent you: when you bring my people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this very mountain."

上主回答说：“我必与你同在；几时你将我的百姓由埃及领出来，你们要在这座山上崇拜天主，你要以此作为我派你的凭据。”

Gospel MT 11:25-27

福音（天父将这些事瞒住了智慧的人，而启示给小孩子知道。）

恭读圣玛窦福音 11:25-27

 

At that time Jesus exclaimed: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.

那时候，耶稣发言说：“父啊！天地的主宰！我称谢你，因为你将这些事瞒住了智慧和明达的人，而启示给小孩子。是的，父啊！你原来喜欢这样。

 

All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."

我父将一切交给了我，除了父外，没有人认识子；除了子和子愿意启示的人外，也没有人认识父。”
