エクソダス 19: 1- 2, 9-11, 16- 20

19:1 In the third month of the departure of Israel from the land of Egypt, あの日の中で, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai.

19:2 したがって, setting out from Raphidim, and going directly to the desert of Sinai, they encamped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents away from the region of the mountain.

19:3 Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, そして彼は言いました: “This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel:

19:4 ‘You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.

19:5 もし, したがって, 私の声が聞こえるでしょう, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. For all the earth is mine.

19:6 And you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.”

19:9 the Lord said to him: “Soon now, I will come to you in the mist of a cloud, so that the people may hear me speaking to you, and so that they may believe you continuously.” Therefore, Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord,

19:10 who said to him: “Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.

19:11 And let them be prepared on the third day. For on the third day, the Lord will descend, in the sight of all the people, over Mount Sinai.

19:16 そしていま, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. そして見よ, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.

19:17 And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.

19:18 Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.

19:19 And the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.

19:20 And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 13: 10-17

13:10	すると弟子たちは彼に近づいて言った。, 「なぜあなたはたとえ話で彼らに話すのですか?」
13:11	応答中, 彼は彼らに言った: 「あなたには天の国の奥義を知ることが与えられているからです」, しかしそれは彼らに与えられていない.
13:12	持っている人なら誰でも, それは彼に与えられるだろう, そして彼は豊かに持つだろう. しかし、そうでない人は, 彼の持っているものさえ彼から取り上げられるだろう.
13:13	このために, 私はたとえ話で彼らに話します: なぜなら見てるから, 彼らは見ていない, そして聞いても彼らは聞こえない, 彼らも理解していない.
13:14	など, 彼らの中でイザヤの預言は成就する, 誰が言った, '聴覚, 聞こえるでしょう, しかし理解できない; そして見て, あなたは見るでしょう, しかし認識しない.
13:15	この民の心は肥大化しているから, そして彼らの耳は重く聞こえます, そして彼らは目を閉じた, いつでも彼らの目で見ることができないように, そして耳で聞く, そして心で理解する, そして改心する, そうすれば私は彼らを癒します。』
13:16	しかし、あなたの目は幸いです, 彼らは見ているから, そしてあなたの耳, 彼らは聞いているから.
13:17	アーメン、あなたに言います, そうです, 多くの預言者や義人たちが、あなたが見ているものを見たいと望んでいたということ, それでも彼らはそれを見なかった, そして、あなたが聞いたことを聞くために, それでも彼らはそれを聞きませんでした.
