Reading

The First Book of Kings 17: 7-16

17:7	But after some days, the torrent dried up. For it had not rained upon the earth.
17:8	Then the word of the Lord came to him, 言って:
17:9	"立ち上がる, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonians, and dwell there. For I have instructed a widowed woman there to feed you.”
17:10	He rose up and went away to Zarephath. And when he had arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the widowed woman collecting wood, and he called to her. そして彼は彼女に言った, “Give me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.”
17:11	And as she was going to bring it, he called out after her, 言って, “Bring me also, お願いです, a morsel of bread in your hand.”
17:12	そして彼女は答えた: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
17:13	And Elijah said to her: "恐れることはありません. But go and do as you have said. でも本当に, first make for me, from the same flour, a little bread baked under ashes, and bring it to me. Then afterward, make some for yourself and for your son.
17:14	主はこう言われるからです, イスラエルの神: ‘The jar of flour will not fail, nor the bottle of oil be diminished, until the day when the Lord will grant rain upon the face of the earth.’ ”
17:15	She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,
17:16	the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, 主の言葉に従って, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 5: 13-16

5:13	あなたは地の塩です. でも、塩がその塩味を失ってしまったら, 何で塩漬けにするのでしょう? もう全く役に立たない, 男たちに追い出されたり踏みつけられたりすることを除いては.
5:14	あなたは世界の光です. 山の上にある都市は隠すことができない.
5:15	そして彼らはランプを灯してかごの下に置くことはしません, でも燭台の上で, 家にいるすべての人を輝かせるように.
5:16	それで, あなたの光を人々の目の前で輝かせてください, 彼らがあなたの良い行いを見ることができるように, そしてあなたの父を讃えることができるでしょう, 天国にいるのは誰ですか.
