First Reading: Dt 6:4-13

读经一（你当全心爱上主你的天主。）

恭读申命纪 6:4-13

 

Moses said to the people: “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. 

梅瑟向百姓说：“以色列！你要听：上主我们的天主，是唯一的天主。你当全心、全灵、全力，爱上主你的天主。

 

Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today. Drill them into your children. Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest. 

我今天吩咐你的这些话，你应牢记在心，并将这些话灌输给你的子女。不论你住在家里，或在路上行走，或卧或立，常应讲论这些话；

 

Bind them at your wrist as a sign and let them be as a pendant on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates. 

又该系在你的手上，当作标记；悬在额上，当作徽号；刻在你住宅的门框上和门扇上。

 

When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that he would give you, 

上主你的天主，几时领你进入他向你的祖先亚巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯起誓，要赐给你的地方，

 

a land with fine, large cities that you did not build, with houses full of goods of all sorts that you did not garner, with cisterns that you did not dig, with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant; 

那里有高大壮观的城邑，而不是你所建造的；有充满各样宝物的住宅，而不是你装满的；有蓄水池，而不是你挖掘的；有葡萄园和橄榄树林，而不是你栽植的；

 

and when, therefore, you eat your fill, take care not to forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. 

当你吃饱时，你应留心，不要忘了领你由埃及 ── 为奴之家 ── 出来的上主。

 

The LORD, your God, shall you fear; him shall you serve, and by his name shall you swear.”

你要敬畏上主你的天主，只事奉他，只以他的名起誓。”

Gospel  Mt 17:14-20

福音（假如你们有信德，为你们没有不可能的事。）

恭读圣玛窦福音 17:14-20

 

A man came up to Jesus, knelt down before him, and said, "Lord, have pity on my son, who is a lunatic and suffers severely; 

那时候，有一个人来到耶稣跟前，跪下，说：“主啊！可怜我的儿子吧！他患癫癎病很苦，

 

often he falls into fire, and often into water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him."

屡次跌在火中，又屡次跌在水里。我把他带到你的门徒跟前，他们却不能治好他。”

 

Jesus said in reply, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring the boy here to me." 

耶稣回答说：“哎！无信败坏的世代，我同你们在一起要到几时呢？我容忍你们要到几时呢？把他给我带到我这里来！”

 

Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him, and from that hour the boy was cured.

耶稣遂叱责魔鬼，魔鬼就从孩子身上出去了；从那时刻，孩子就好了。

 

Then the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, "Why could we not drive it out?" He said to them, "Because of your little faith. 

以后，门徒前来私下对耶稣说：“为什么我们不能逐出这魔鬼呢？”耶稣对他们说：“由于你们缺少信德；

 

Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

我实在告诉你们：假如你们有像芥子那么大的信德，你们向这座山说：从这边移到那边去！它必会移过去的；为你们没有不可能的事。”
