The Book of Sirach 48: 1-14

48:1	And the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch.
48:2	He brought a famine upon them, and those who provoked him in their envy became few. For they could not bear the precepts of the Lord.
48:3	By the word of the Lord, he closed the heavens, and he brought down fire from heaven three times.
48:4	In this way, Elijah was magnified in his wondrous works. So who can say that he is similar to you in glory?
48:5	He raised up a dead man from the grave, from the fate of death, by the word of the Lord God.
48:6	He threw down kings unto perdition, and he easily shattered their power and boasting from his bed.
48:7	He heeded the judgment at Sinai, and the judgments of punishment at Horeb.
48:8	He anointed kings unto repentance, and he chose the prophets who would follow after him.
48:9	He was received into a whirlwind of fire, into a swift chariot with fiery horses.
48:10	He is written in the judgments of the times, so as to lessen the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
48:11	Blessed are those who saw you, and who were adorned with your friendship.
48:12	For we live only in our life, and after death, our name will not be the same.
48:13	Certainly, Elijah was covered by the whirlwind, and his spirit was completed in Elisha. In his days, he was not fearful of the ruler, and no power defeated him.
48:14	No word overwhelmed him, and after death, his body prophesied.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 6: 7-15

6:7	Thiab thaum peb thov Vajtswv, tsis xaiv ntau lo lus, raws li cov pagans ua. Rau lawv xav tias yog lawv cov lus uas lawv yuav tau heeded.

6:9	Yog li ntawd, vim, Koj yuav tsum thov Vajtswv li no: (1) Thov Vajtswv pab koj li cas?: Peb Leej Txiv Yehauvas, Saum ntuj ceeb tsheej: Thov kom koj lub npe dawb huv.
6:10	Thov kom koj lub tebchaws no tuaj. Tej zaum koj yuav tau ua li cas, saum ntuj ceeb tsheej, Li ntawd, kuj nyob hauv ntiaj teb.
6:11	Muab peb hnub no peb lub neej-sustaining mov ci.
6:12	Thiab zam txim rau peb cov nuj nqis, Raws li peb zam txim rau peb cov nuj nqis.
6:13	Thiab ua rau peb tsis txhob sim temptation. Tiamsis peb tsis muaj kev phem kev qias. Asmees.
6:14	Yog koj zam txim rau lwm tus ces lawv yuav zam txim rau lwm tus, Koj Leej Txiv Saum ntuj kuj yuav zam txim rau koj tus kheej.
6:15	Tiamsis yog koj tsis zam txim rau lwm tus ces koj yuav tsis zam txim rau lwm tus, Tej zaum koj leej Txiv yuav zam txim rau koj tus kheej.
