Solemnity of Saint Joseph
Second Samuel 7: 4- 5, 12- 14, 16
| 7:4 | But it happened in that night, jen, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, dirante: |
| 7:5 | “Iru, and say to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord: Should you build a house for me as a dwelling place? |
| 7:12 | And when your days will have been fulfilled, and you will sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will go forth from your loins, and I will make firm his kingdom. |
| 7:13 | He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever. |
| 7:14 | I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And if he will commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the wounds of the sons of men. |
| 7:16 | And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.’ ” |
romianoj 4: 13, 16- 18, 22
| 4:13 | Por la Promeso al Abraham, kaj al lia idaro, ke li heredus la mondon, ne estis per la leĝo, sed per la justeco de fido. |
| 4:16 | Pro ĉi tio, estas de fido laŭ graco ke la Promeso estas certigita por ĉiuj posteuloj, ne nur por tiuj, kiuj estas de la leĝo, sed ankaŭ por tiuj, kiuj estas el la fido de Abraham, kiu estas la patro de ni ĉiuj antaŭ Dio, |
| 4:17 | al kiu li kredis, kiu revivigas la mortintojn kaj kiu vokas en ekziston tiujn aferojn, kiuj ne ekzistas. Ĉar estas skribite: "Mi starigis vin kiel la patron de multaj nacioj." |
| 4:18 | Kaj li kredis, kun espero preter espero, por ke li fariĝu patro de multaj nacioj, laŭ tio, kio estis dirita al li: "Tiel estos via posteularo." |
| 4:22 | Kaj tial, ĝi estis kalkulita al li por justeco. |
Mateo 1: 16, 18- 21, 24
| 1:16 | And Jacob conceived Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. |
| 1:18 | Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:19 | Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly. |
| 1:20 | But while thinking over these things, jen, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, dirante: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:21 | And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.” |
| 1:24 | Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife. |
