Reading

The First Book of Kings 21: 17-29

21:17	Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, ティシュバイト, 言って:
21:18	"立ち上がる, and descend to meet Ahab, イスラエルの王, who is in Samaria. 見よ, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
21:19	And you shall speak to him, 言って: 『主はこう言われる』: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: 『主はこう言われる』: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’ ”
21:20	And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?そして彼は言いました: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
21:21	「見よ, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
21:22	And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, ネバトの息子, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
21:23	And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, 言って: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
21:24	If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’ ”
21:25	など, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
21:26	And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
21:27	それから, when Ahab had heard these words, 彼は衣服を引き裂いた, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
21:28	And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, ティシュバイト, 言って:
21:29	“Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? したがって, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. その代わり, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According Matthew 5: 43-48

5:43	と言われていたのを聞いたことがあるでしょう, 「あなたは隣人を愛さなければなりません」, そうすればあなたは敵を憎むことになるだろう。』
5:44	しかし、私はあなたに言います: 敵を愛しなさい. あなたを憎む人たちに善いことをしなさい. そしてあなたを迫害し中傷する人々のために祈ってください.
5:45	この上, あなたがたはあなたの父の息子となるでしょう, 天国にいるのは誰ですか. 彼は善にも悪にも太陽を昇らせます, そして彼は正しい者にも不正な者にも雨を降らせます.
5:46	あなたがあなたを愛してくれる人たちを愛しているなら, どのような報酬がありますか? 徴税人ですらこのような態度をとることはありません?
5:47	そして兄弟たちだけに挨拶するなら, これ以上何をしたのですか? 異教徒ですらこのように振る舞わないだろうか?
5:48	したがって, 完璧であること, あなたの天の父が完全であるように。」
