Readings for September 24, 2017

Sorry for the delay, we had inadvertently sent this on August 24, rather than September 24.

اولین خواندن

اشعیا 55: 6-9

55:6 خداوند را جستجو کن, در حالی که او می تواند پیدا شود. او را صدا کن, در حالی که او نزدیک است.

55:7 بی تقوا راهش را رها کند, و مرد نابکار افکارش, و او را به سوی خداوند بازگردانید, و او بر او رحم خواهد کرد, و به خدای ما, زیرا او در بخشش بزرگ است.

55:8 زیرا افکار من افکار شما نیستند, و راه های تو راه های من نیست, خداوند می گوید.

55:9 زیرا همانطور که آسمانها از زمین بلند شده است, همچنین راههای من بر راههای شما برتر است, و افکار من بالاتر از افکار شما.

خواندن دوم

Philippians 1: 20-24, 27

1:20 by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. بجای, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 1:22 And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.

1:23 For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,

1:24 but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.

1:27 Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, به طوری که, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

انجیل

انجیل مقدس به روایت متی 20: 1-16

20:1 “The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard.
20:2 سپس, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
20:4 و به آنها گفت, ‘You may go into my vineyard, هم, and what I will give you will be just.’
20:5 So they went forth. But again, he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and he acted similarly.
20:6 با این حال واقعا, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, و او به آنها گفت, ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?'
20:7 They say to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also may go into my vineyard.’
20:8 And when evening had arrived, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last, even to the first.’
20:9 و همینطور, when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward, each received a single denarius.
20:10 Then when the first ones also came forward, they considered that they would receive more. اما آنها, هم, received one denarius.
20:11 And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family,
20:12 گفتن, ‘These last have worked for one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who worked bearing the weight and heat of the day.’
20:13 But responding to one of them, او گفت: ‘Friend, I caused you no injury. Did you not agree with me to one denarius?
20:14 Take what is yours and go. But it is my will to give to this last, just as to you.
20:15 And is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Or is your eye wicked because I am good?'
20:16 بنابراین, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
