常年期第十五周星期六
Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读米该亚先知书 2:1-5
祸哉，那些在床上筹划不义，图谋行恶的人！一到天亮，他们就去实行他们的恶计。他们想要田地，便去霸占；想要房屋，便去夺取：以暴力对付业主和他的家族，物主和他的产业。为此上主这样说：“看，我正在为这一家筹划灾祸，致令你们不能缩回你们的颈项，也不能挺身前行，因为那是一个灾祸的时刻。”在那一日，人要作诗讽刺你们，唱这悲惨的哀歌说：“我们完全被抢掠了，我人民的基业已被人瓜分了，再无人归还；我们的土地已分配给抢掠我们的人！”因此，你们在上主的子民中，再没有份获配土地。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Micah 2:1-5
Woe to those who plan iniquity,
and work out evil on their couches;
In the morning light they accomplish it
when it lies within their power.
They covet fields, and seize them;
houses, and they take them;
They cheat an owner of his house,
a man of his inheritance.
Therefore thus says the LORD:
Behold, I am planning against this race an evil
from which you shall not withdraw your necks;
Nor shall you walk with head high,
for it will be a time of evil.
On that day a satire shall be sung over you,
and there shall be a plaintive chant:
“Our ruin is complete,
our fields are portioned out among our captors,
The fields of my people are measured out,
and no one can get them back!”
Thus you shall have no one
to mark out boundaries by lot
in the assembly of the LORD.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 12:14-21
那时候，法利塞人出去，商讨怎样陷害耶稣，怎样除灭他。耶稣知道了，就离开那里；有许多人跟随他，他都治好了他们；且警告他们不要将他传扬出去：这是为应验那藉依撒意亚先知所说的话：“看，我的仆人，他是我所拣选，我所钟爱的；他是我心灵所喜悦的；我要使我的神住在他身上，他必向外邦人传布真道。他不争辩，也不喧嚷，在街市上没有人听到他的声音：已压破的芦苇，他不折断；将熄灭的灯心，他不吹灭，直至他使真道胜利。外邦人将要期待他的名字。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 12:14-21
The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus
to put him to death.
When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place.
Many people followed him, and he cured them all,
but he warned them not to make him known.
This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,
my beloved in whom I delight;
I shall place my Spirit upon him,
and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
He will not contend or cry out,
nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break,
a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory.
And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
