Qari

The First Book of Kings 18: 41-46

18:41	And Elijah said to Ahab “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”
18:42	Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees.
18:43	And he said to his servant, “Ascend, and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, hu qal, “There is nothing.” And again, qallu, “Return seven times.”
18:44	And at the seventh time, ara, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. U qal: “Ascend, and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’ ”
18:45	And as he was turning himself this way and that, ara, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel.
18:46	And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.

Evanġelju

L-Evanġelju Qaddis Skont Mattew 5: 20-26

5:20	Għax ngħidilkom, li jekk il-ġustizzja tagħkom ma teċċedix dik tal-kittieba u tal-Fariżej ma tidħolx fis-saltna tas-smewwiet.
5:21	Smajtu li kien qal lill-qedem: ‘M’għandekx toqtol; min ikun qatel jista’ jkun suġġett għall-ġudizzju.’
5:22	Imma ngħidlek, li kull min jirrabja ma’ ħuh ikun suġġett għall-ġudizzju. Imma min ikun sejjaħ lil ħuh, ‘Idjota,’ għandu jkun responsabbli lejn il-kunsill. Imbagħad, min ikun sejjaħlu, ‘Mingħajr siwi,’ għandu jkun soġġett għan-nirien tal-Infern.
5:23	Għalhekk, jekk toffri r-rigal tiegħek fuq l-artal, u hemm tiftakar li ħuk għandu xi ħaġa kontrik,
5:24	ħalli r-rigal tiegħek hemmhekk, quddiem l-artal, u mur l-ewwel biex tirrikonċilja ma’ ħuk, u mbagħad tista’ tersaq u toffri r-rigal tiegħek.
5:25	Kun rikonċiljat mal-avversarju tiegħek malajr, waqt li tkun għadek fi triqtu miegħu, biex forsi l-avversarju jagħtik f’idejn l-imħallef, u l-imħallef jista’ jgħaddik f’idejn l-uffiċjal, u int se tintefa’ l-ħabs.
5:26	Amen ngħidilkom, li ma toħroġx minn hemm, sakemm tkun ħallset lura l-aħħar kwart.
