Saturday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读亚毛斯先知书 9:11-15
上主这样说：在那一天，我必树起达味已坍塌的帐幕，修补它的缺口，重建它的废墟；使它重建有如往日，使它的居民征服厄东的遗民和属于我名下的万民——行这事的上主的断语——看，时日将到——上主的断语——那时耕田的人要紧靠着收割的人，榨酒的人要紧靠着播种的人；山岭要滴下新酒，丘陵都要溶化奔流。我必要转变我民以色列的命运，他们必要重建已荒废的城巿，再住在其中；栽植葡萄园，饮其中的美酒；耕种田园，吃其中的出产。我要将他们栽植在自己的地内，他们不会再从我赐与他们的地上被拔除——上主你的天主说。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Amos 9:11-15
Thus says the LORD:
On that day I will raise up
the fallen hut of David;
I will wall up its breaches,
raise up its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
That they may conquer what is left of Edom
and all the nations that shall bear my name,
say I, the LORD, who will do this.
Yes, days are coming,
says the LORD,
When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
and the vintager, him who sows the seed;
The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains,
and all the hills shall run with it.
I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel;
they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities,
Plant vineyards and drink the wine,
set out gardens and eat the fruits.
I will plant them upon their own ground;
never again shall they be plucked
From the land I have given them,
say I, the LORD, your God.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 9:14-17
那时，若翰的门徒来到耶稣跟前说：“为什么我们和法利塞人多次禁食，而你的门徒却不禁食呢？”耶稣对他们说：“伴郎岂能当新郎与他们在一起的时候悲哀？但日子将要来到：当新郎从他们中被劫去时，那时他们就要禁食了。没有人用未漂过的布作补钉，补在旧衣服上的，因为补上的必扯裂了旧衣，破绽就更加坏了。也没有人把新酒装入旧皮囊里的；不然，皮囊一破裂，酒也流了，皮囊也坏了；而是应把新酒装在新皮囊里，两样就都得保全。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 9:14-17
The disciples of John approached Jesus and said,
“Why do we and the Pharisees fast much,
but your disciples do not fast?”
Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn
as long as the bridegroom is with them?
The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them,
and then they will fast.
No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth,
for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse.
People do not put new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined.
Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
