First Reading

The Book of Numbers 21: 4-9

21:4	Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
21:5	And speaking against God and Moses, ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
21:6	ಈ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
21:7	And so they went to Moses, ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8	ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದನು: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
21:9	ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.

Second Reading

The Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians 2: 6-11

2:6	WHO, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.
2:7	ಬದಲಿಗೆ, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.
2:8	He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.
2:9	ಇದರ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,
2:10	ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,
2:11	and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
