Leviticus 25: 1, 8- 17

25:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, gesot:

25:8 You shall also number for yourselves seven weeks of years, dat ass, seven times seven, which together makes forty-nine years.

25:9 And you shall sound the trumpet in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, at the time of the atonement, throughout all your land.

25:10 And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a remission for all the inhabitants of your land: for the same is the Jubilee. A man shall return to his possession, and each one shall go back to his original family,

25:11 for it is the Jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap what grows in the field of its own accord, and you shall not gather the first-fruits of the crop,

25:12 due to the sanctification of the Jubilee. But you shall eat them as they present themselves.

25:13 In the year of the Jubilee, all shall return to their possessions.

25:14 When you will sell anything to your fellow citizen, or buy anything from him, do not cause your brother grief, but buy from him according to the number of years from the Jubilee,

25:15 and he shall sell to you according to the computation of the produce.

25:16 The more years that will remain after the Jubilee, the more the price shall increase, and the less the time is numbered, so much less shall the purchase price be. For he will sell to you the time for the produce.

25:17 Do be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For I am the Lord your God.

Evangelium

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 14: 1-12

14:1	An där Zäit, Den Herodes den Tetrarch huet d'Nouvelle iwwer de Jesus héieren.
14:2	An hie sot zu senge Dénger: "Dëst ass de Johannes de Baptist. Hien ass vun den Doudegen opgestan, an dofir schaffen Wonner an him."
14:3	Well den Herodes hat de Johannes gefaangen, an hien gebonnen, an huet hien am Prisong, wéinst Herodias, d'Fra vu sengem Brudder.
14:4	Fir de John huet him gesot, "Et ass net gesetzlech fir Iech hatt ze hunn."
14:5	An obwuel hie wollt him ëmbréngen, hien huet d'Leit gefaart, well se him als Prophéit gehalen hunn.
14:6	Dann, op dem Herodes säi Gebuertsdag, d'Duechter vum Herodias huet an hirer Mëtt gedanzt, an et huet den Herodes gefreet.
14:7	An dofir huet hien mat engem Eed versprach, hir ze ginn, wat si vun him freet.
14:8	Mee, vun hirer Mamm berode ginn, sot si, „Gëff mir hei, op engem Teller, de Kapp vum John the Baptist."
14:9	An de Kinnek war immens traureg. Mä wéinst sengem Eed, a wéinst deenen, déi mat him um Dësch souzen, hien huet bestallt et ze ginn.
14:10	An hien huet de John am Prisong geschéckt an gekäppt.
14:11	A säi Kapp gouf op engem Teller bruecht, an et gouf dem Meedchen ginn, an si huet et zu hirer Mamm bruecht.
14:12	A seng Jünger koumen un an hunn de Kierper geholl, a si hunn et begruewen. An ukommen, si hunn et dem Jesus gemellt.
