The Second Book of Kings 2: 1, 6-14

2:1	Now it happened that, when the Lord willed to lift up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going out of Gilgal.
2:6	Then Elijah said to him: “Remain here. For the Lord has sent me as far as the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And so, the two of them continued on together.
2:7	And fifty men from the sons of the prophets followed them, and they stood opposite them, at a distance. But the two of them were standing above the Jordan.
2:8	And Elijah took his cloak, and he rolled it up, and he struck the waters, which were divided into two parts. And they both went across on dry ground.
2:9	And when they had gone across, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what you wish that I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “I beg you, that twice your spirit may be accomplished in me.”
2:10	And he responded: “You have requested a difficult thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will have what you requested. But if you do not see, it shall not be.”
2:11	And as they continued on, they were conversing while walking. Thiab behold, a fiery chariot with fiery horses divided the two. And Elijah ascended by a whirlwind into heaven.
2:12	Then Elisha saw it, and he cried out: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel with its driver!” And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own garments, and he tore them into two parts.
2:13	And he picked up the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him. And turning back, he stood above the bank of the Jordan.
2:14	And he struck the waters with the cloak of Elijah, which had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said, “Where is the God of Elijah, even now?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and there. And Elisha went across.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 6: 1-6, 16-18

6:1		"Xyuam xim, ua koj kev ncaj ncees ua ntej txiv neej, yuav pom los ntawm lawv; Txwv tsis pub koj leej txiv yuav tsis muaj nqi zog rau koj Leej Txiv, Saum ntuj ceeb tsheej.
6:2		Yog li ntawd, vim, thaum koj muab alms, Tsis xaiv suab ib trumpet ua ntej koj, Raws li tus hypocrites ua nyob rau hauv lub synagogues thiab hauv lub nroog, Yog li ntawd, tej zaum lawv yuav hwm cov txivneej ntawd. Amen kuv hais rau koj, Lawv tau txais lawv nqi zog.
6:3		Tab sis thaum koj muab alms, Tsis txhob cia koj txhais tes paub koj txhais tes ua dab tsi,
6:4		Li ntawd, kom koj almsgiving tej zaum yuav nyob rau hauv daim zais cia, thiab koj Txiv, leej twg pom hauv zais cia, yuav them rov qab koj.
6:5		Thiab thaum koj thov Vajtswv, Koj yuav tsum tsis txhob nyiam cov hypocrites, Leej twg hlub sawv hauv lub synagogues thiab ntawm lub ces kaum ntawm txoj kev thov vaj tswv, Yog li ntawd, lawv thiaj pom los ntawm cov txiv neej. Amen kuv hais rau koj, Lawv tau txais lawv nqi zog.
6:6		Tab sis koj, thov Vaj tswv, nkag mus rau hauv koj chav tsev, thiab muaj kev sib txuas qhov rooj, Thov Vajtswv pab koj leej Txiv, thiab koj Txiv, leej twg pom hauv zais cia, yuav them rov qab koj.
6:16		Thiab thaum koj ceev nrooj, tsis txhob xaiv ua gloomy, xws li cov hypocrites. Rau lawv hloov lawv ib sab, Li ntawd, kom lawv fasting tej zaum yuav khees rau txiv neej. Amen kuv hais rau koj, Lawv tau txais lawv nqi zog.
6:17		Tab sis raws li koj, ceev nrooj, Cov xaiv tseg yuav tsum ntxuav koj lub ntsej muag thiab ntxuav koj lub ntsej muag,
6:18		Li ntawd, kom koj fasting yuav tsis khees rau txiv neej, tab sis rau koj txiv, leej twg yog nyob rau hauv daim zais cia. Thiab koj txiv, leej twg pom hauv zais cia, yuav them rov qab koj.
