First reading (Exodus 22: 20–26)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall not harm the widow or the orphan. If you do harm them and they cry out to me, I will hear them and my anger will blaze and I will kill you with the sword, and your own wives will be widows and your own children orphans. If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and do not charge him interest. If ever you take a person's cloak as a pledge, you must give it back to him by sunset, for it is all the cover he has for his body. In what else will he sleep? And when he cries to me I will hear him, for I am full of pity.
Second reading (1 Thessalonians 1: 5c–10)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
You also know how we dealt with you for your sake. In return, you became followers of us an of the Lord when, on receiving the word, you experienced the joy of the Holy Spirit in the midst of great opposition. And you became a model for the faithful of Macedonia and Achaia, since from you the word of the Lord spread to Macedonia and Achaia, and still farther. The faith you have in God has become news in so many places that we need say no more about it. Others tell of how you responded to us and turn from idols to the Lord. For you serve the living and true God, and you wait for his Son from heaven whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who frees us from impending trial.
Gospel (Matthew 22: 34–40)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
When the Pharisees heard how Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. One of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to test him with this question, "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the Law?" Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and the most important of the commandments. But after this there is another one very similar to it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole Law and the Prophets are founded on these two commandments."
New American Bible readings
First reading (Exodus 22: 20–26)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
Thus says the LORD: "You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt. You shall not wrong any widow or orphan. If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry. My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword; then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans. "If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among my people, you shall not act like an extortioner toward him by demanding interest from him. If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset; for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body. What else has he to sleep in? If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate."
Second reading (1 Thessalonians 1: 5C–10)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters: You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit, so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything. For they themselves openly declare about us what sort of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.
Gospel (Matthew 22: 34–40)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

DeletePrimera lectura (Éxodo 22: 20–26)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Éxodo.
No maltratarás, ni oprimirás a los extranjeros, ya que también ustedes fueron extranjeros en tierra de Egipto. No harán daño a la viuda ni al huérfano. Si ustedes lo hacen, ellos clamarán a mí, y yo escucharé su clamor, se despertará mi enojo y a ustedes los mataré a espada; viudas quedarán sus esposas y huérfanos sus hijos. Si prestas dinero a uno de mi pueblo, al pobre, que tú conoces, no serás como el usurero, no le exigirás interés. Si tomas en prenda el manto de tu prójimo, se lo devolverás al ponerse el sol. ¿Con qué va a dormir? Y cuando me clama, lo oiré, porque me lleno con piedad.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 18) (Versículos 2–4, 47 y 51)
La respuesta es: Te amo, Señor, mi fuerza.
• Dijo: Yo te amo, Señor, mi fuerza, mi Roca, mi fortaleza y mi libertador, mi Dios.
• Él es el peñasco en que me refugio, mi escudo, mi fuerza salvadora, mi baluarte. Invoqué al Señor, que es digno de alabanza y quedé a salvo de mis enemigos.
• ¡Viva el Señor! ¡Bendita sea mi Roca! ¡Glorificado sea el Dios de mi salvación, Él concede grandes victorias a su rey y trata con fidelidad a su Ungido, a David y a su descendencia para siempre.
Segunda lectura (Tesalonicenses 1: 5C–10)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los tesalonicenses.
Ya saben cómo procedimos cuando estuvimos allí al servicio de ustedes. Y ustedes, a su vez, imitaron nuestro ejemplo y el del Señor, recibiendo la Palabra en medio de muchas dificultades, con la alegría que da el Espíritu Santo. Así llegaron a ser un modelo para todos los creyentes de Macedonia y Acaya. En efecto, de allí partió la Palabra del Señor, que no sólo resonó en Macedonia y Acaya: en todas partes se ha difundido la fe que ustedes tienen en Dios, de manera que no es necesario hablar de esto. Ellos mismos cuentan cómo ustedes me han recibido y cómo se convirtieron a Dios, abandonando los ídolos para servir al Dios vivo y verdadero, y esperar a su Hijo, que vendrá desde el cielo: Jesús, a quien él resucitó y que nos libra de la ira venidera.
Evangelio (Mateo 22: 34–40)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
Cuando los fariseos supieron que Jesús había hecho callar a los saduceos, se juntaron en torno a él. Uno de ellos, que era maestro de la Ley, trató de ponerlo a prueba con esta pregunta: “Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento más importante de la Ley?” Jesús le dijo: “Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente. Este es el gran mandamiento, el primero. Pero hay otro muy parecido: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Toda la Ley y los Profetas se fundamentan en estos dos mandamientos.”

“Sinumang maghandog sa diyus-diyosan ay dapat patayin sapagkat kay Yahweh lamang dapat maghandog. “Huwag ninyong aapihin ang mga dayuhan; alalahanin ninyong naging dayuhan din kayo sa Egipto. Huwag din ninyong aapihin ang mga balo at ang mga ulila. Kapag inapi ninyo sila at dumaing sa akin, tiyak na papakinggan ko sila. Dahil dito, kapopootan ko kayo at lilipulin sa pamamagitan ng digmaan. Sa gayo'y mabibiyuda rin ang inyu-inyong asawa at mauulila ang inyong mga anak. Kapag nangutang sa inyo ang mga kababayan ninyong mahihirap, huwag kayong hihingi ng tubo, tulad ng ginagawa ng mga nagpapatubo. Kapag may nagsanla sa inyo ng balabal, ibalik ninyo iyon sa kanya bago lumubog ang araw.”
Salmong pagtugon (Salmo 18) (Bersikulo 1–3, 46 at 50)
Ang tugon ay: Oh Panginoon, Ika’y aking minamahal.
• O Yahweh, ika'y aking minamahal, ikaw ang aking kalakasan! Si Yahweh ang aking batong tanggulan.
• Si Yahweh ang aking Tagapagligtas, Diyos at kanlungan, tagapag-ingat ko at aking sanggalang. Kay Yahweh ako'y tumatawag, sa aking mga kaaway ako'y inililigtas. Karapat-dapat purihin si Yahweh!
• Buháy si Yahweh, Diyos ko't Tagapagligtas, matibay kong muog, purihin ng lahat! Ang kanyang kadakilaa'y ating ipahayag! Dakilang tagumpay ibinibigay ng Diyos sa kanyang hari; tapat na pag-ibig ipinadarama niya sa kanyang pinili, kay David at sa lahat ng kanyang salinlahi.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (Tesalonica 1: 5–10)
Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Tesalonica.
Sapagkat ang Magandang Balitang lubos naming pinaniniwalaan ay ipinahayag namin sa inyo hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng salita, kundi sa pamamagitan din ng kapangyarihan ng Espiritu Santo. Nakita ninyo kung paano kami namuhay sa inyong piling; ito ay ginawa namin alang-alang sa inyo. Sinundan ninyo ang aming halimbawa at ang halimbawa ng Panginoon. Kahit dumanas kayo ng napakaraming paghihirap, tinanggap ninyo ang salita ng Diyos nang may kagalakang mula sa Espiritu Santo. Kaya't naging huwaran kayo ng mga mananampalataya sa Macedonia at Acaya, sapagkat hindi lamang ang salita ng Panginoon ang lumaganap sa Macedonia at Acaya sa pamamagitan ninyo. Ang inyong pananampalataya sa Diyos ay nabalita rin sa lahat ng dako, kaya't hindi na kailangang magsalita pa kami tungkol dito. Ang mga tagaroon na rin ang nagbabalita kung paano ninyo kami tinanggap. Sila rin ang nagsasabi kung paano ninyo tinalikuran ang pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan upang maglingkod sa tunay at buháy na Diyos, at maghintay sa pagbabalik ng kanyang Anak mula sa langit. Ito'y si Jesus na muli niyang binuhay; na siya ring nagliligtas sa atin sa darating na poot ng Diyos.
Ebanghelyo (Mateo 22: 34–40)
Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
Nagtipun-tipon ang mga Pariseo nang mabalitaan nilang napatahimik ni Jesus ang mga Saduseo. Isa sa kanila, na dalubhasa sa Kautusan, ang nagtanong kay Jesus upang subukin ito. “Guro, alin po ang pinakamahalagang utos sa Kautusan?” tanong niya. Sumagot si Jesus, “Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso mo, buong kaluluwa mo, at buong pag-iisip mo. Ito ang pinakamahalagang utos. Ito naman ang pangalawa: Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili. Sa dalawang utos na ito nakasalalay ang buong Kautusan ni Moises at ang katuruan ng mga propeta.”

"Janganlah kautindas atau kautekan seorang orang asing, sebab kamu pun dahulu adalah orang asing di tanah Mesir. Seseorang janda atau anak yatim janganlah kamu tindas. Jika engkau memang menindas mereka ini, tentulah Aku akan mendengarkan seruan mereka, jika mereka berseru-seru kepada-Ku dengan nyaring. Maka murka-Ku akan bangkit dan Aku akan membunuh kamu dengan pedang, sehingga isteri-isterimu menjadi janda dan anak-anakmu menjadi yatim. Jika engkau meminjamkan uang kepada salah seorang dari umat-Ku, orang yang miskin di antaramu, maka janganlah engkau berlaku sebagai seorang penagih hutang terhadap dia: janganlah kamu bebankan bunga uang kepadanya. Jika engkau sampai mengambil jubah temanmu sebagai gadai, maka haruslah engkau mengembalikannya kepadanya sebelum matahari terbenam, sebab hanya itu saja penutup tubuhnya, itulah pemalut kulitnya — pakai apakah ia pergi tidur? Maka apabila ia berseru-seru kepada-Ku, Aku akan mendengarkannya, sebab Aku ini pengasih."

• Allahku, gunung batuku, tempat aku berlindung, perisaiku, tanduk keselamatanku, kota bentengku! Terpujilah TUHAN, seruku; maka aku pun selamat dari pada musuhku.
• TUHAN hidup! Terpujilah gunung batuku, dan mulialah Allah Penyelamatku, Ia mengaruniakan keselamatan yang besar kepada raja yang diangkat-Nya, dan menunjukkan kasih setia kepada orang yang diurapi-Nya, yaitu Daud dan kepada anak cucunya untuk selamanya."

Sebab Injil yang kami beritakan bukan disampaikan kepada kamu dengan kata-kata saja, tetapi juga dengan kekuatan oleh Roh Kudus dan dengan suatu kepastian yang kokoh. Memang kamu tahu, bagaimana kami bekerja di antara kamu oleh karena kamu. Dan kamu telah menjadi penurut kami dan penurut Tuhan; dalam penindasan yang berat kamu telah menerima firman itu dengan sukacita yang dikerjakan oleh Roh Kudus, sehingga kamu telah menjadi teladan untuk semua orang yang percaya di wilayah Makedonia dan Akhaya. Karena dari antara kamu firman Tuhan bergema bukan hanya di Makedonia dan Akhaya saja, tetapi di semua tempat telah tersiar kabar tentang imanmu kepada Allah, sehingga kami tidak usah mengatakan apa-apa tentang hal itu. Sebab mereka sendiri berceritera tentang kami, bagaimana kami kamu sambut dan bagaimana kamu berbalik dari berhala-berhala kepada Allah untuk melayani Allah yang hidup dan yang benar, dan untuk menantikan kedatangan Anak-Nya dari sorga, yang telah dibangkitkan-Nya dari antara orang mati, yaitu Yesus, yang menyelamatkan kita dari murka yang akan datang.

Ketika orang-orang Farisi mendengar, bahwa Yesus telah membuat orang-orang Saduki itu bungkam, berkumpullah mereka dan seorang dari mereka, seorang ahli Taurat, bertanya untuk mencobai Dia: "Guru, hukum manakah yang terutama dalam hukum Taurat?" Jawab Yesus kepadanya: "Kasihilah Tuhan, Allahmu, dengan segenap hatimu dan dengan segenap jiwamu dan dengan segenap akal budimu. Itulah hukum yang terutama dan yang pertama. Dan hukum yang kedua, yang sama dengan itu, ialah: Kasihilah sesamamu manusia seperti dirimu sendiri. Pada kedua hukum inilah tergantung seluruh hukum Taurat dan kitab para nabi."

それは、私たちが伝えた福音（イエス・キリストによる救いの知らせ）を聞き流さず、非常な関心をもって迎え入れた態度から明らかです。私たちが語った教えは、あなたがたの人生に重大な影響を与えました。聖霊によって、これこそ真理だという確信があなたがたに与えられたからです。また、私たちの生活そのものも、私たちが語ったことばの正しさを実証したと言えるでしょう。こうしてあなたがたも、私たちや主ご自身のあとに続く者となりました。多くの試練や悲しみにもくじけず、聖霊からいただいた喜びにあふれて、私たちの教えを受け入れたからです。こうしてあなたがたは、マケドニヤとアカヤ中のクリスチャンの模範となりました。その働きのおかげで、今、主のことばはマケドニヤ、アカヤばかりか、あらゆる地域の人々に伝わっています。どこへ行っても、神に対するあなたがたの信仰を賞賛する声を耳にします。ですから、そのことについてこれ以上、何も語る必要はないでしょう。彼らのほうから、私たちに対するあなたがたの歓迎ぶりや、偶像を捨てて神に立ち返り、真の生ける神にのみ仕える者となったいきさつ、また、神の子の到来を待ち望む熱心さについて話してくれるからです。この神の子こそ、神が死者の中から復活させたイエスであり、罪に対する神の恐るべき怒りから救い出してくださる、唯一の救い主なのです。
