New American Bible readings
First reading (Leviticus 19: 1–2 and 17–18)
A reading from the book of Leviticus.
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy. “You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”
Second reading (1 Corinthians 3: 16–23)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool, so as to become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written: God catches the wise in their own ruses, and again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you, Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or the present or the future: all belong to you, and you to Christ, and Christ to God.
Gospel (Matthew 5: 38–48)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand over your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. “You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Leviticus 19: 1–2 and 17–18)
A reading from the book of Leviticus.
The Lord spoke to Moses and stated, "Speak to the entire assembly of the people of Israel and state to them: 'By holy for I, the Lord, your God, am holy. Do not hate your brother or sister in your heart; rebuke your neighbor frankly so as not to share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or nurture a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.'"
Second reading (1 Corinthians 3: 16–23)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit abides within you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. God's temple is holy, and you are this temple. Do not deceive yourselves. If anyone of you considers himself wise in the ways of the world, let him become a fool, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's eyes. To this, Scripture states: God catches the wise in their own wisdom. It also states: The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is useless. Because of this, let no one become an admirer of humans, for everything belongs to you, Paul, Apollos, Cephas – life, death, the present and the future. Everything is yours, and you, you belong to Christ, and Christ is of God.
Gospel (Matthew 5: 38–48)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus continued to teach the crowd while his disciples gathered around him. Jesus stated: "You have heard that it was stated: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I tell you this: do not oppose evil with evil; if someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn and offer the other. If someone sues you in court for your shirt, give your coat as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give when asked and do not turn your back on anyone who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was stated: Love your neighbor and do not do good to your enemy. But this I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. For he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good, and he gives rain to both the just and the unjust. If you love those who love you, what is special about that? Do not even tax collectors do as much? And if you are friendly only to your friends, what is so exceptional about that? Do not even the pagans do as much? For your part, you shall be righteous and perfect in the way your heavenly Father is righteous and perfect."

Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all my being, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with kindness and compassion.
Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger and abounding in kindness. Not according to our sins does he deal with us, nor does he requite us according to our crimes.

DeletePrimera lectura (Levítico 19: 1–2 y 17–18)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Levítico.
Yahvé dijo a Moisés: Habla a toda la comunidad de los hijos de Israel y diles: Sean santos, porque yo, Yahvé, Dios de ustedes, soy Santo. No odies en tu corazón a tu hermano; pero corrígelo, no sea que te hagas cómplice de sus faltas. No te vengarás ni guardarás rencor contra tus paisanos, sino que más bien amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo, pues Yo soy Yahvé.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 103) (Versículos 1–4, 8, 10 y 12–13)
La respuesta es: El Señor es simpático y misericordioso.
• Bendice al Señor, alma mía, que todo mi ser bendiga a su santo Nombre; bendice al Señor, alma mía, y nunca olvides sus beneficios.
• Él perdona todas tus culpas y cura todas tus dolencias; rescata tu vida del sepulcro, te corona de amor y de ternura.
• El Señor es bondadoso y compasivo, lento para enojarse y de gran misericordia; no nos trata según nuestros pecados ni nos paga conforme a nuestras culpas.
• Cuanto dista el oriente del occidente, así aparta de nosotros nuestros pecados. Como un padre cariñoso con sus hijos, así es cariñoso el Señor con sus fieles.
Segunda lectura (1 Corintios 3: 16–23)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios.
¿No saben que ustedes son templo de Dios y que el Espíritu de Dios habita en ustedes? Si alguno destruye el templo de Dios, Dios lo destruirá a él. Porque el templo de Dios es sagrado, y ustedes son ese templo. ¡Que nadie se engañe! Si alguno de ustedes se tiene por sabio en este mundo, que se haga insensato para ser realmente sabio. Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es locura delante de Dios. En efecto, dice la Escritura: ‘Él sorprende a los sabios en su propia astucia’, y además: ‘El Señor conoce los razonamientos de los sabios y sabe que son vanos’. En consecuencia, que nadie se gloríe en los hombres, porque todo les pertenece a ustedes: Pablo, Apolo o Cefas, el mundo, la vida, la muerte, el presente o el futuro. Todo es de ustedes, pero ustedes son de Cristo y Cristo es de Dios.
Evangelio (Mateo 5: 38–48)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
Jesús les enseña a sus discípulos: “Ustedes han oído que se dijo: “Ojo por ojo y diente por diente.” Pero yo les digo: No resistan al malvado. Antes bien, si alguien te golpea en la mejilla derecha, ofrécele también la otra. Si alguien te hace un pleito por la camisa, entrégale también el manto. Si alguien te obliga a llevarle la carga, llévasela el doble más lejos. Da al que te pida, y al que espera de ti algo prestado, no le vuelvas la espalda. Ustedes han oído que se dijo: “Amarás a tu prójimo y no harás amistad con tu enemigo.” Pero yo les digo: Amen a sus enemigos y recen por sus perseguidores, para que así sean hijos de su Padre que está en los Cielos. Porque él hace brillar su sol sobre malos y buenos, y envía la lluvia sobre justos y pecadores. Si ustedes aman solamente a quienes los aman, ¿qué mérito tiene? También los cobradores de impuestos lo hacen. Y si saludan sólo a sus amigos, ¿qué tiene de especial? También los paganos se comportan así. Por su parte, sean ustedes perfectos como es perfecto el Padre de ustedes que está en el Cielo.”
Bacaan pertama (Imamat 19: 1–2 dan 17–18)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari kitab Imamat.
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: Berbicaralah kepada segenap jemaah Israel dan katakan kepada mereka: Kuduslah kamu, sebab Aku, TUHAN, Allahmu, kudus. Janganlah engkau membenci saudaramu di dalam hatimu, tetapi engkau harus berterus terang menegor orang sesamamu dan janganlah engkau mendatangkan dosa kepada dirimu karena dia. Janganlah engkau menuntut balas, dan janganlah menaruh dendam terhadap orang-orang sebangsamu, melainkan kasihilah sesamamu manusia seperti dirimu sendiri; Akulah TUHAN.
Mazmur (Mazmur 103) (Ayat 1–4, 8, 10 dan 12–13)
Tanggapan adalah: Pujilah, puji Allah, Tuhan yang maha rahim.
— Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku! Pujilah nama-Nya yang kudus, hai segenap batinku! Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku, dan janganlah lupakan segala kebaikan-Nya!
— Dia yang mengampuni segala kesalahanmu, yang menyembuhkan segala penyakitmu. Dia yang menebus hidupmu dari lobang kubur, yang memahkotai engkau dengan kasih setia dan rahmat.
— TUHAN adalah penyayang dan pengasih, panjang sabar dan berlimpah kasih setia. Tidak dilakukan-Nya kepada kita setimpal dengan dosa kita, dan tidak dibalas-Nya kepada kita setimpal dengan kesalahan kita.
— Sejauh timur dari barat, demikian dijauhkan-Nya dari pada kita pelanggaran kita. Seperti bapa sayang kepada anak-anaknya, demikian TUHAN sayang kepada orang-orang yang takut akan Dia.
Bacaan kedua (1 Korintus 3: 16–23)
Pembacaan dari surat pertama dari Paulus rasul kepada jemaat di Korintus.
Tidak tahukah kamu, bahwa kamu adalah bait Allah dan bahwa Roh Allah diam di dalam kamu? Jika ada orang yang membinasakan bait Allah, maka Allah akan membinasakan dia. Sebab bait Allah adalah kudus dan bait Allah itu ialah kamu. Janganlah ada orang yang menipu dirinya sendiri. Jika ada di antara kamu yang menyangka dirinya berhikmat menurut dunia ini, biarlah ia menjadi bodoh, supaya ia berhikmat. Karena hikmat dunia ini adalah kebodohan bagi Allah. Sebab ada tertulis: "Ia yang menangkap orang berhikmat dalam kecerdikannya." Dan di tempat lain: "Tuhan mengetahui rancangan-rancangan orang berhikmat; sesungguhnya semuanya sia-sia belaka." Karena itu janganlah ada orang yang memegahkan dirinya atas manusia, sebab segala sesuatu adalah milikmu: baik Paulus, Apolos, maupun Kefas, baik dunia, hidup, maupun mati, baik waktu sekarang, maupun waktu yang akan datang. Semuanya kamu punya. Tetapi kamu adalah milik Kristus dan Kristus adalah milik Allah.
Bacaan Injil (Matius 5: 38–48)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Matius.
Yesus meneruskan mengajar murid-muridnya: "Kamu telah mendengar firman: Mata ganti mata dan gigi ganti gigi. Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Janganlah kamu melawan orang yang berbuat jahat kepadamu, melainkan siapapun yang menampar pipi kananmu, berilah juga kepadanya pipi kirimu. Dan kepada orang yang hendak mengadukan engkau karena mengingini bajumu, serahkanlah juga jubahmu. Dan siapapun yang memaksa engkau berjalan sejauh satu mil, berjalanlah bersama dia sejauh dua mil. Berilah kepada orang yang meminta kepadamu dan janganlah menolak orang yang mau meminjam dari padamu. Kamu telah mendengar firman: Kasihilah sesamamu manusia dan bencilah musuhmu. Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Kasihilah musuhmu dan berdoalah bagi mereka yang menganiaya kamu. Karena dengan demikianlah kamu menjadi anak-anak Bapamu yang di sorga, yang menerbitkan matahari bagi orang yang jahat dan orang yang baik dan menurunkan hujan bagi orang yang benar dan orang yang tidak benar. Apabila kamu mengasihi orang yang mengasihi kamu, apakah upahmu? Bukankah pemungut cukai juga berbuat demikian? Dan apabila kamu hanya memberi salam kepada saudara-saudaramu saja, apakah lebihnya dari pada perbuatan orang lain? Bukankah orang yang tidak mengenal Allahpun berbuat demikian? Karena itu haruslah kamu sempurna, sama seperti Bapamu yang di sorga adalah sempurna."

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Sabihin mo sa buong sambayanan ng Israel, ‘Magpakabanal kayo, sapagkat akong si Yahweh na inyong Diyos ay banal. “Huwag kayong magtatanim ng galit sa iyong kapwa. Sa halip, makipagkasundo ka sa kanya. Sa gayon, hindi ka magkakasala dahil sa kanya. Huwag kang maghihiganti o magtatanim ng galit sa iyong mga kababayan. Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili. Ako si Yahweh.”
Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Corinto 3: 16–23)
Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
Hindi ba ninyo alam na kayo'y templo ng Diyos at naninirahan sa inyo ang kanyang Espiritu? Paparusahan ng Diyos ang sinumang magwasak ng templo niya. Sapagkat banal ang templo ng Diyos, at kayo ang templong iyan. Huwag dayain ninuman ang kanyang sarili. Kung may nag-aakalang siya'y matalino ayon sa sanlibutang ito, aminin niyang siya'y mangmang upang maging tunay na marunong. Sapagkat ang karunungan ng sanlibutang ito ay kamangmangan sa paningin ng Diyos. Gaya ng nasusulat, “Ginagamit niya ang katusuhan ng mga marurunong para mabitag sila.” Gayundin, “Batid ng Panginoon na ang iniisip ng marurunong ay walang kabuluhan.” Kaya't huwag ipagmalaki ninuman na siya'y tagasunod ng sinuman, sapagkat ang lahat ay para sa inyo: si Pablo, si Apolos, at si Pedro, ang sanlibutang ito, ang buhay, ang kamatayan, ang kasalukuyan, at ang hinaharap; lahat ng ito'y para sa inyo. At kayo'y para kay Cristo, at si Cristo nama'y para sa Diyos.

Kung isakdal ka ninuman upang makuha ang iyong damit, ibigay mo ito sa kanya pati ang iyong balabal. Kung pilitin ka ng isang kawal na pasanin ang kanyang dala ng isang milya, pasanin mo iyon ng dalawang milya. Bigyan mo ang nanghihingi sa iyo at huwag mong tanggihan ang nanghihiram sa iyo.” “Narinig ninyong sinabi, ‘Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa at kamuhian mo ang iyong kaaway.’ Ngunit ito naman ang sinasabi ko, ibigin ninyo ang inyong mga kaaway at ipanalangin ninyo ang mga umuusig sa inyo, upang kayo'y maging tunay na mga anak ng inyong Ama na nasa langit. Sapagkat pinasisikat niya ang araw sa mabubuti gayon din sa masasama, at nagpapaulan siya sa mga matuwid at sa mga di-matuwid. “Kung ang mga nagmamahal sa inyo ang siya lamang ninyong mamahalin, anong gantimpala ang inyong maaasahan? Hindi ba't ginagawa rin iyan ng mga maniningil ng buwis? At kung ang mga kapatid lamang ninyo ang inyong binabati, ano ang ginagawa ninyong higit kaysa iba? Hindi ba't ginagawa rin iyan ng mga Hentil? Kaya maging ganap kayo, gaya ng inyong Ama na nasa langit.”

この読み物はコリント人への手紙です。
あなたがたは自分たちが神の家であり、神の聖霊が自分の内に住んでおられることがわからないのですか。もし神の家を汚したり、こわしたりする人がいれば、神様はその人を滅ぼされます。なぜなら、神の家は聖なるものだからです。あなたがたは、その神の家なのです。自分をだますのはやめなさい。だれか、「自分は世の知者だ」と、もし考えているのなら、そんな考えは捨てて、愚か者になるほうが身のためです。天からの真の知恵を受ける妨げにならないためです。この世の知恵は、神から見れば愚かだからです。聖書のヨブ記に、「神は人の知恵を、その人を捕らえるわなとして用いられる」と書いてあるとおりです。つまり、人は自分の「知恵」につまずいて倒れるのです。また、詩篇には、「主は、人間の考えや判断がどんな程度か、また、それがどんなに愚かしく無益か、よく知っておられる」とあります。ですから、この世の知者の弟子であることを誇ってはなりません。神様はすでに、あなたがたに必要なものは全部与えてくださっているのです。パウロも、アポロも、ペテロも、あなたがたを助けるために神がお遣わしになったのです。神様は全世界を、あなたがたの益になるようにと与えてくださいました。生も死も、あなたがたのものなのです。現在のことも、将来のことも、すべては、あなたがたの手にあります。そして、あなたがたはキリストのもの、キリストは神のものです。
福音書（マタイ第5章：第38詩–第48詩）
この読み物はマタイの福音書です。
あなたがたの教えでは、『人の目をえぐり出した者は、自分の目もえぐり出される。人の歯を折った者は、自分の歯も折られる』とあります。しかし、わたしはあえて言いましょう。暴力に暴力で手向かってはいけません。もし右の頰をなぐられたら、左の頰も向けてやりなさい。借金のかたに下着を取り上げようとする人には、上着もやりなさい。荷物を一キロ先まで運べと命令されたら、二キロ先まで運んであげなさい。『何か下さい』と頼む人には与え、借りに来た人を手ぶらで追い返さないようにしなさい。『隣人を愛し、敵を憎め』とは、よく言われることです。しかし、わたしは言います。敵を愛し、迫害する人のために祈りなさい。それこそ、天の父の子どもであるあなたがたに、ふさわしいことです。天の父は、悪人にも善人にも太陽の光を注ぎ、正しい人にも正しくない人にも分け隔てなく雨を降らせてくださいます。自分を愛してくれる人だけを愛したからといって、取り立てて自慢できるでしょうか。悪人でも、そのくらいのことはしています。気の合う友達とだけ親しくしたところで、ほかの人とどこが違うと言えるでしょう。神を信じなくても、そのくらいのことはだれでもします。ですから、あなたがたは、天の父が完全であるように完全でありなさい。
