29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Date: October 20, 2019

New American Bible readings
First reading (Exodus 17: 8–13)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
In those days, Amalek came and waged war against Israel. Moses, therefore, said to Joshua, "Pick out certain men, and tomorrow go out and engage Amalek in battle. I will be standing on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." So Joshua did as Moses told him: he engaged Amalek in battle after Moses had climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses'hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile, Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Second reading (2 Timothy 3:14 – 4:2)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to Timothy.
Beloved: Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.

Gospel (Luke 18: 1–8)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, "There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually, he thought, 'While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'" The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Exodus 17: 8–13)
A reading from the book of Exodus.

When the Israelites were at Rephidim, the Amalekites came and attacked them. So Moses stated to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites in the morning. As for me, I will stand with God's staff in my hand at the top of the hill." Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had directed, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. It happened that when Moses raised his hands, the Israelites would win but when he lowered them, the Amalekites would have the advantage. As Moses' arms grew weary they placed a stone for him to sit on while Aaron and Hur on either side held up his arms which remained steady until sunset. For his part, Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the sword.

Second reading (2 Timothy 3:14 – 4:2)
A reading from the second letter of Saint Paul to Timothy.
Beloved: Continue with what you have learned and what has been entrusted to you, knowing from whom you received it. Besides, you have known the Scriptures from childhood; they will give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, refuting error, for correcting and training in Christian life. Through Scripture, the man of God is made expert and thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by the hope I have of his coming and his kingdom, I urge you to preach the Word, in season and out of season, reproving, rebuking or advising, always with patience and providing instruction.

Gospel (Luke 18: 1–8)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus told them a parable to show them that they should pray continually and not lose heart. He stated, "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor people. In the same town was a widow who kept coming to him, stating, 'Defend my rights against my opponent.' For a time he refused, but finally, he thought: 'Even though I neither fear God nor care about people, this widow bothers me so much I will see that she gets justice; then she will stop coming and wearing me out." And Jesus explained, "Listen to what the evil judge says. Will God not do justice for his chosen ones who cry to him day and night even if he delays in answering them? I tell you, he will speedily do them justice. Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 121) (Verses 1–8)
    The response is: Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

    I lift up my eyes toward the mountains; whence shall help come to me? My help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

    May he not suffer your foot to slip; may he slumber not who guards you: indeed he neither slumbers nor sleeps, the guardian of Israel.

    The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade; he is beside you at your right hand. The sun shall not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

    The LORD will guard you from all evil; he will guard your life. The LORD will guard your coming and your going, both now and forever.

  2. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 121) (Verses 1–8)
    The response is: Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

    I lift up my eyes to the mountains — from where shall come my help? My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.

    Will he let your foot slip, the one watching over you? Will he slumber? No, the guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.

    The Lord is your guardian, the Lord is at your side and you in his shade; sunstroke will not be for you by day, nor the spell of the moon by night.

    The Lord guards you from every evil; he will protect your life. The Lord watches over your coming and going both now forever.

  4. Primera lectura (Éxodo 17: 8–13)
    Una lectura del libro del Éxodo.
    En Refidim los amalecitas vinieron a atacar a Israel. Moisés dijo a Josué: “Elígete algunos hombres y marcha a pelear contra los amalecitas. Yo, por mi parte, estaré mañana en lo alto de la loma, con el bastón de Dios en mi mano.” Josué hizo como se lo ordenaba Moisés, y salió a pelear contra los amalecitas. Mientras tanto, Moisés, Aarón y Jur subieron a la cima de la loma. Y sucedió que mientras Moisés tenía las manos arriba, se imponía Israel, pero cuando las bajaba, se imponían los amalecitas. Se le cansaron los brazos a Moisés; entonces tomaron una piedra y sentaron a Moisés sobre ella, mientras Aarón y Jur le sostenían los brazos, uno a cada lado. Así, Moisés mantuvo sus brazos alzados hasta la puesta del sol y Josué le mató mucha, mucha gente a Amalec.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 121) (Versículos 1–8)
    La respuesta es: Nuestro auxilio viene del Señor, quien hizo el cielo y la tierra.
    • Levanto mis ojos a las montañas: ¿de dónde me vendrá la ayuda? La ayuda me viene del Señor, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.
    • Él no dejará que resbale tu pie: ¡tu guardián no duerme! No, no duerme ni dormita el guardián de Israel.
    • El Señor es tu guardián, es la sombra protectora a tu derecha: de día, no te dañará el sol, ni la luna de noche.
    • El Señor te protegerá de todo mal y cuidará tu vida. Él te protegerá en la partida y el regreso, ahora y para siempre.

    Segunda lectura (2 Timoteo 3:14 – 4:2)
    Una lectura de la segunda carta de San Pablo a Timoteo.
    Pero tú permanece fiel a la doctrina que aprendiste y de la que estás plenamente convencido: tú sabes de quiénes la has recibido. Recuerda que desde la niñez conoces las Sagradas Escrituras: ellas pueden darte la sabiduría que conduce a la salvación, mediante la fe en Cristo Jesús. Toda la Escritura está inspirada por Dios, y es útil para enseñar y para argüir, para corregir y para educar en la justicia, a fin de que el hombre de Dios sea perfecto y esté preparado para hacer siempre el bien. Yo te conjuro delante de Dios y de Cristo Jesús, que ha de juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos, y en nombre de su Manifestación y de su Reino: proclama la Palabra de Dios, insiste con ocasión o sin ella, arguye, reprende, exhorta, con paciencia incansable y con afán de enseñar.

    Evangelio (Lucas 18: 1–8)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Lucas.
    Después le enseñó con una parábola que era necesario orar siempre sin desanimarse: “En una ciudad había un juez que no temía a Dios ni le importaban los hombres; y en la misma ciudad vivía una viuda que recurría a él, diciéndole: ‘Te ruego que me hagas justicia contra mi adversario.’ Durante mucho tiempo el juez se negó, pero después dijo: ‘Yo no temo a Dios ni me importan los hombres, pero como esta viuda me molesta, le haré justicia para que no venga continuamente a fastidiarme.’” Y el Señor dijo: “Oigan lo que dijo este juez injusto. Y Dios, ¿no hará justicia a sus elegidos, que claman a él día y noche, aunque los haga esperar? Les aseguro que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos les hará justicia. Pero cuando venga el Hijo del hombre, ¿encontrará fe sobre la tierra?”

  5. Unang pagbabasa (Exodo 17: 8–13)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni Exodo.
    Nang ang mga Israelita'y nasa Refidim, sinalakay sila ng mga Amalekita. Sinabi ni Moises kay Josue, “Pumili ka ng ilang tauhan natin at pangunahan mo sa pakikipaglaban sa mga Amalekita. Hahawakan ko naman ang tungkod na ibinigay sa akin ng Diyos at tatayo ako sa ibabaw ng burol.” Sinunod ni Josue ang utos ni Moises at hinarap niya ang mga Amalekita. Si Moises naman, kasama sina Aaron at Hur ay nagpunta sa burol. Kapag nakataas ang mga kamay ni Moises, nananalo ang mga Israelita; kapag nakababa, nananalo naman ang mga Amalekita. Nangawit na si Moises kaya sina Aaron at Hur ay kumuha ng isang bato at pinaupo roon si Moises habang hawak nilang pataas ang mga kamay nito hanggang sa lumubog ang araw. Dahil dito'y natalo ni Josue ang mga Amalekita.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (2 Timoteo 3:14 – 4:2)
    Ang pagbabasa sa pangalawang sulat ni San Pablo kay Timoteo.
    Ngunit ikaw, magpatuloy ka sa mga aral na natutunan mo at matibay mong pinaniwalaan, sapagkat kilala mo ang mga nagturo nito sa iyo. Mula pa sa pagkabata alam mo na ang Banal na Kasulatan, na may kapangyarihang magbigay sa iyo ng karunungan tungo sa kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Cristo Jesus. Ang lahat ng Kasulatan ay kinasihan ng Diyos, at kapaki-pakinabang sa pagtuturo ng katotohanan, sa pagsaway sa kamalian, sa pagtutuwid sa likong gawain at sa pagsasanay para sa matuwid na pamumuhay, upang ang lingkod ng Diyos ay maging ganap at handa sa lahat ng mabubuting gawain. Sa harap ng Diyos at ni Cristo Jesus na hahatol sa mga buháy at sa mga patay, alang-alang sa kanyang pagdating bilang hari, inaatasan kita: ipangaral mo ang salita ng Diyos; pagsikapan mong gawin iyan napapanahon man o hindi. Himukin mo at pagsabihan ang mga tao, at palakasin ang kanilang loob sa pamamagitan ng matiyagang pagtuturo.

    Ebanghelyo (Lucas 18: 1–8)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Lucas.
    Isinalaysay ni Jesus ang isang talinghaga upang ituro sa kanila na dapat silang laging manalangin at huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Sinabi niya, “Sa isang lungsod ay may isang hukom na walang takot sa Diyos at walang iginagalang na tao. Sa lungsod ding iyon ay may isang biyuda. Lagi siyang pumupunta sa hukom at sinasabi, ‘Bigyan po ninyo ako ng katarungan sa aking usapin.’ Tinanggihan siya ng hukom sa loob ng mahabang panahon, ngunit nang magtagal ay sinabi ng hukom sa sarili, ‘Kahit ako'y walang takot sa Diyos at walang iginagalang na tao, ibibigay ko na ang katarungang hinihingi ng biyudang ito, sapagkat lagi niya akong ginagambala at baka mainis pa ako sa kapupunta niya rito.’” At nagpatuloy ang Panginoon, “Pakinggan ninyo ang sabi ng masamang hukom na iyon. Ngayon, ipagkakait kaya ng Diyos ang katarungan sa kanyang mga hinirang na dumaraing sa kanya araw-gabi? Sila kaya'y paghihintayin niya nang matagal? Sinasabi ko sa inyo, agad niyang ibibigay sa kanila ang katarungan. Ngunit sa pagbabalik ng Anak ng Tao, may daratnan pa kaya siyang mga taong may pananampalataya?”

  6. 第一読み物(出エジプト記 17章:8詩から13詩)
    この読み物は出エジプト記です。
    さて、アマレクの戦士たちがイスラエル人に戦いを挑もうと、レフィディムへやって来ました。モーセはヨシュアに、アマレク軍と戦うために人々を召集するよう命じました。そして、「私は明日、神の杖を持って丘の頂に立つ」と言いました。ヨシュアとその部下はアマレク軍と戦うために出て行き、一方、モーセとアロンとフルは丘に登りました。モーセが手に持った杖を差し伸べている間は、イスラエル軍が優勢に立ちましたが、腕を下げるとアマレク軍が優勢になりました。モーセの腕はしびれて、とうとう棒のようになってしまいました。もうこれ以上、杖を持っていることができません。アロンとフルは、石を転がして来てモーセを座らせ、両側に立って、日が暮れるまで二人がかりで彼の腕を支え続けました。こうして、ヨシュアの率いるイスラエル軍は、アマレク軍をみごとに打ち破ったのです。

    第二読み物(第二テモテへの手紙3章:14詩から4章:2詩)
    この読み物は第二テモテへの手紙です。
    あなたは、真理を教えた私たちを信頼していなさい。また、小さいころから、自分がどのように聖書を教えられてきたか覚えているでしょう。この聖書こそ、キリスト・イエスを信じることによって救われるための知恵を与えてくれるのです。神の霊感によって書かれた聖書は、何が真理であり、何が悪であるかをよく教えてくれます。また、私たちの生活をまっすぐにし、正しいことを行う力を与えてくれます。こうして神は、私たちをあらゆる点で整え、どんな良い働きをも行う力を、十分に与えてくださるのです。それで私は、神とキリスト・イエスとの御前で、厳粛な思いで忠告します。〔キリストは、いつの日か神の国を完成させるために現れて、生きている者と死んだ者とをさばかれるお方です。〕どんな時にも、神のことばを熱心に伝えなさい。機会があろうとなかろうと、つごうが良かろうと悪かろうと、しっかりやりなさい。過ちを犯している人には忠告して、正しい道に引き戻しなさい。そして善を行うよう励まし、神のことばを教え続けなさい。

    福音書(ルカ18章: 1詩から8詩)
    これはルカの福音書です。
    ある日、イエスは弟子たちに、いつでも祈り、また答えられるまで祈り続けることを教えようと、一つのたとえを話されました。「ある町に、少しも神を恐れず、人を人とも思わない裁判官がいました。同じ町に住む一人の未亡人が、たびたびこの裁判官のところへ押しかけ、『訴えられて困っています。どうか私を守ってください』と願い出ました。裁判官はしばらくの間、相手にしませんでしたが、あまりのしつこさに我慢できなくなり、心の中でこう考えました。『私は神だろうが人間だろうがこわくないが、あの女ときたらうるさくてかなわない。しかたがない。裁判をしてやることにしよう。そうすれば、もうわずらわしい思いをしなくてすむだろう。』」主は続けて言われました。「このように、悪徳裁判官でさえ音を上げてしまうのなら、まして神は、昼も夜もひたすら訴え続ける信者たちを、必ず正しく取り扱ってくださるはずです。そうは思いませんか。神はすぐにも答えてくださるのです。ただ問題は、メシヤのわたしが帰って来る時、いったいどれだけの人が信仰を持って祈り続けているかです。」

  7. Bacaan pertama (Keluaran 17: 8–13)
    Pembacaan dari kitab yang Keluaran.
    Lalu datanglah orang Amalek dan berperang melawan orang Israel di Rafidim. Musa berkata kepada Yosua: "Pilihlah orang-orang bagi kita, lalu keluarlah berperang melawan orang Amalek, besok aku akan berdiri di puncak bukit itu dengan memegang tongkat Allah di tanganku." Lalu Yosua melakukan seperti yang dikatakan Musa kepadanya dan berperang melawan orang Amalek; tetapi Musa, Harun dan Hur telah naik ke puncak bukit. Dan terjadilah, apabila Musa mengangkat tangannya, lebih kuatlah Israel, tetapi apabila ia menurunkan tangannya, lebih kuatlah Amalek. Maka penatlah tangan Musa, sebab itu mereka mengambil sebuah batu, diletakkanlah di bawahnya, supaya ia duduk di atasnya; Harun dan Hur menopang kedua belah tangannya, seorang di sisi yang satu, seorang di sisi yang lain, sehingga tangannya tidak bergerak sampai matahari terbenam. Demikianlah Yosua mengalahkan Amalek dan rakyatnya dengan mata pedang.

    Bacaan kedua (2 Timotius 3:14 – 4:2)
    Pembacaan yang surat kedua dari Paulus kepada Timotius.
    Tetapi hendaklah engkau tetap berpegang pada kebenaran yang telah engkau terima dan engkau yakini, dengan selalu mengingat orang yang telah mengajarkannya kepadamu. Ingatlah juga bahwa dari kecil engkau sudah mengenal Kitab Suci yang dapat memberi hikmat kepadamu dan menuntun engkau kepada keselamatan oleh iman kepada Kristus Yesus. Segala tulisan yang diilhamkan Allah memang bermanfaat untuk mengajar, untuk menyatakan kesalahan, untuk memperbaiki kelakuan dan untuk mendidik orang dalam kebenaran. Dengan demikian tiap-tiap manusia kepunyaan Allah diperlengkapi untuk setiap perbuatan baik. Di hadapan Allah dan Kristus Yesus yang akan menghakimi orang yang hidup dan yang mati, aku berpesan dengan sungguh-sungguh kepadamu demi penyataan-Nya dan demi Kerajaan-Nya: Beritakanlah firman, siap sedialah baik atau tidak baik waktunya, nyatakanlah apa yang salah, tegorlah dan nasihatilah dengan segala kesabaran dan pengajaran.

    Bacaan Injil (Lukas 18: 1–8)
    Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Lukas.
    Yesus mengatakan suatu perumpamaan kepada mereka untuk menegaskan, bahwa mereka harus selalu berdoa dengan tidak jemu-jemu. Kata-Nya: “Dalam sebuah kota ada seorang hakim yang tidak takut akan Allah dan tidak menghormati seorang pun. Dan di kota itu ada seorang janda yang selalu datang kepada hakim itu dan berkata: Belalah hakku terhadap lawanku. Beberapa waktu lamanya hakim itu menolak. Tetapi kemudian ia berkata dalam hatinya: Walaupun aku tidak takut akan Allah dan tidak menghormati seorang pun, namun karena janda ini menyusahkan aku, baiklah aku membenarkan dia, supaya jangan terus saja ia datang dan akhirnya menyerang aku." Kata Tuhan: “Camkanlah apa yang dikatakan hakim yang lalim itu! Tidakkah Allah akan membenarkan orang-orang pilihan-Nya yang siang malam berseru kepada-Nya? Dan adakah Ia mengulur-ulur waktu sebelum menolong mereka? Aku berkata kepadamu: Ia akan segera membenarkan mereka. Akan tetapi, jika Anak Manusia itu datang, adakah Ia mendapati iman di bumi?"
