1. القراءة الأولى المكابيين الثاني 7:1, 20-31

   ¹It came to pass that seven brothers and their mother were at the king’s command taken and shamefully handled with scourges and cords, to compel them to taste of the abominable swine’s flesh. ²⁰But above all, the mother was marvelous and worthy of honorable memory; for when she watched seven sons perishing within the space of one day, she bore the sight with a good courage because of her hope in the Lord. ²¹She exhorted each one of them in the language of their fathers, filled with a noble spirit and stirring up her woman’s thoughts with manly courage, saying to them, ²²“I don’t know how you came into my womb. It wasn’t I who gave you your spirit and your life. It wasn’t I who brought into order the first elements of each one of you. ²³Therefore the Creator of the world, who shaped the first origin of man and devised the first origin of all things, in mercy gives back to you again both your spirit and your life, as you now treat yourselves with contempt for his laws’ sake.” ²⁴But Antiochus, thinking himself to be despised, and suspecting the reproachful voice, while the youngest was yet alive didn’t only make his appeal to him by words, but also at the same time promised with oaths that he would enrich him and raise him to high honor if he would turn from the ways of his ancestors, and that he would take him for his friend and entrust him with public affairs. ²⁵But when the young man would in no way listen, the king called to him his mother, and urged her to advise the youth to save himself. ²⁶When he had urged her with many words, she undertook to persuade her son. ²⁷But bending toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, she spoke this in the language of her fathers: “My son, have pity upon me who carried you nine months in my womb, and nursed you three years, and nourished and brought you up to this age, and sustained you. ²⁸I beg you, my child, to lift your eyes to the sky and the earth, and to see all things that are in it, and thus to recognize that God made them not of things that were, and that the race of men in this way comes into being. ²⁹Don’t be afraid of this butcher, but, proving yourself worthy of your brothers, accept your death, that in God’s mercy I may receive you again with your brothers.” ³⁰But before she had finished speaking, the young man said, “What are you all waiting for? I don’t obey the commandment of the king, but I listen to the commandment of the law that was given to our fathers through Moses. ³¹But you, who have devised all kinds of evil against the Hebrews, will in no way escape God’s hands.

2. المزمور المتجاوب المزامير 17:1, 5-6, 8b, 15

   ¹صَلَاةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَارَبُّ لِلْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَلَاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ بِلَا غِشٍّ. ⁵تَمَسَّكَتْ خُطُوَاتِي بِآثَارِكَ فَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمَايَ. ⁶أَنَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي يَا ٱللهُ. أَمِلْ أُذُنَيْكَ إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامِي. ⁸ٱحْفَظْنِي مِثْلَ حَدَقَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ ٱسْتُرْنِي ¹⁵أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِشَبَهِكَ.

4. الإنجيل لوقا 19:11-28

   ¹¹وَإِذْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ هَذَا عَادَ فَقَالَ مَثَلًا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانُوا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ فِي ٱلْحَالِ. ¹²فَقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ شَرِيفُ ٱلْجِنْسِ ذَهَبَ إِلَى كُورَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ لِيَأْخُذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مُلْكًا وَيَرْجِعَ. ¹³فَدَعَا عَشَرَةَ عَبِيدٍ لَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: تَاجِرُوا حَتَّى آتِيَ. ¹⁴وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ مَدِينَتِهِ فَكَانُوا يُبْغِضُونَهُ، فَأَرْسَلُوا وَرَاءَهُ سَفَارَةً قَائِلِينَ: لَا نُرِيدُ أَنَّ هَذَا يَمْلِكُ عَلَيْنَا. ¹⁵وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعْدَمَا أَخَذَ ٱلْمُلْكَ، أَمَرَ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ، لِيَعْرِفَ بِمَا تَاجَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ. ¹⁶فَجَاءَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، مَنَاكَ رَبِحَ عَشَرَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ. ¹⁷فَقَالَ لَهُ: نِعِمَّا أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلصَّالِحُ! لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ أَمِينًا فِي ٱلْقَلِيلِ، فَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدْنٍ. ¹⁸ثُمَّ جَاءَ ٱلثَّانِي قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، مَنَاكَ عَمِلَ خَمْسَةَ أَمْنَاءٍ. ¹⁹فَقَالَ لِهَذَا أَيْضًا: وَكُنْ أَنْتَ عَلَى خَمْسِ مُدْنٍ. ²⁰ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ قَائِلًا: يَا سَيِّدُ، هُوَذَا مَنَاكَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدِي مَوْضُوعًا فِي مِنْدِيلٍ، ²¹لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَخَافُ مِنْكَ، إِذْ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ صَارِمٌ، تَأْخُذُ مَا لَمْ تَضَعْ، وَتَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ تَزْرَعْ. ²²فَقَالَ لَهُ: مِنْ فَمِكَ أَدِينُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَبْدُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ. عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ صَارِمٌ، آخُذُ مَا لَمْ أَضَعْ، وَأَحْصُدُ مَا لَمْ أَزْرَعْ، ²³فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَضَعْ فِضَّتِي عَلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلصَّيَارِفَةِ، فَكُنْتُ مَتَى جِئْتُ أَسْتَوْفِيهَا مَعَ رِبًا؟ ²⁴ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَاضِرِينَ: خُذُوا مِنْهُ ٱلْمَنَا وَأَعْطُوهُ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱلْأَمْنَاءُ. ²⁵فَقَالُوا لَهُ: يَا سَيِّدُ، عِنْدَهُ عَشَرَةُ أَمْنَاءٍ! ²⁶لِأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فَٱلَّذِي عِنْدَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ. ²⁷أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي، أُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ أَمْلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأْتُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى هُنَا وَٱذْبَحُوهُمْ قُدَّامِي». ²⁸وَلَمَّا قَالَ هَذَا تَقَدَّمَ صَاعِدًا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
