4 ة The Seventh Sunday after Holy Cross: The final judgment األحد السابع بعد عيد الصليب: دينونة األمم رسالة القد يس بولس إلى أهل رومة 12:9-21 From the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans يا إخو ت ي ل ت ك ن م ح ب ت ك م ب ال ر ي اء: ت ج ن ب وا الش ر والز م وا الخ ي ر. أ ح ب وا ب ع ض ك م ب ع ض ا م ح ب ة أ خ و ي ة وب اد ر وا ب ع ض ك م ب ع ض ا ب اإل ك ر ام. ك ون وا في اٱلج ت ه اد غ ي ر م ت ك اس ل ين وبالر وح ح ار ين ول لر ب ع اب د ين وبالر ج اء ف ر ح ين وفي الض يق ث اب ت ين وع لى الص ال م و اظ ب ين وفي ح اج ات الق د يس ين م ش ار ك ين وإ لى ض ي اف ة الغ ر ب اء س اع ين. ب ار ك وا ال ذ ين ي ض ط ه د ون ك م ب ار ك وا وال ت ل ع ن وا. إ ف ر ح وا م ع الف ر ح ين و ٱب ك وا م ع الب اك ين. ك ون وا م ت ف ق ين ب ع ض ك م م ع ب ع ض م ت و اض ع ين ال م ت ك ب ر ين. ال ت ك ون وا ح ك م اء في ع ي ون أ ن ف س ك م. وال ت ب اد ل وا أ ح د ا ش ر ا ب ش ر وٱع ت ن وا ب ع م ل الخ ي ر أ م ام ج م يع الن اس. س ال م وا ج م يع الن اس إ ن أ م ك ن ع لى ق د ر ط اق ت ك م. ال ت ن ت ق م وا أل ن ف س ك م أ ي ه ا األ ح ب اء ب ل ٱت ر ك وا م ك ان ا ل غ ض ب هللا أل ن ه م ك ت وب: "لي اٱلن ت ق ام ي ق ول الر ب و أ ن ا أ ج از ي". ولك ن "إ ن ج اع ع د و ك فأ ط ع م ه وإ ن ع ط ش ف أ س ق ه فإ ن ك ب ف ع ل ك هذ ا ت ر ك م ع لى رأ س ه ج م ر ن ار". ال ت د ع الش ر ي غ ل ب ك ب ل ٱغ ل ب الش ر ب الخ ي ر. Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same regard for one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good. Praise be to God always! إنجيل القد يس مت ى 25:31-46 From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew قال الرب ي سوع: "م ت ى ج اء ٱب ن اإل ن س ان في م ج د ه وج م يع الم الئ ك ة م ع ه ي ج ل س على ع ر ش م ج د ه.وت ج م ع ل د ي ه ج م يع األ م م ف ي م ي ز ب ع ض ه م م ن ب ع ض ك م ا ي م ي ز الر اع ي الخ ر اف م ن الج د اء.وي ق يم الخ ر اف ع ن ي م ين ه و الج د اء ع ن ش م ال ه ح ين ئ ذ ي ق ول الم ل ك ل ل ذين ع ن ي م ين ه : ت ع ال وا ي ا م ب ار كي أ بي ر ث وا الم ل ك وت الم ع د ل ك م م ن ذ إ ن ش اء الع ال م أل ن ي ج ع ت ف أ ط ع م ت م ون ي وع ط ش ت ف س ق ي ت م ون ي وك ن ت غريب ا ف آو ي ت م وني وع ر ي ان ا ف ك س و ت م وني وم ريض ا ف ز ر ت م ون ي وم ح ب وس ا ف أ ت ي ت م إ لي.ح ين ئ ذ ي ج يب ه األ ب ر ار ق ائ لين: ي ا ر ب م ت ى ر أ ي ن اك ج ائ ع ا ف أ ط ع م ن اك أ و ع ط ش ان ف س ق ي ن اك وم ت ى ر أ ي ن اك غ ريب ا ف آو ي ن اك أ و ع ري ان ا ف ك س و ن اك وم ت ى ر أ ي ن اك م ريض ا أ و م ح ب وس ا ف أ ت ي ن ا إ ل ي ك ف ي ج يب الم ل ك وي ق ول ل ه م: أ لح ق أ ق ول ل ك م: ك ل م ا ع م ل ت م وه أل ح د إ خ و ت ي هؤ الء الص غ ار ف ل ي ع م ل ت م وه! ث م ي ق ول ل ل ذين ع ن ش م ال ه : إ ذ ه ب وا ع ن ي ي ا م الع ين إ لى الن ار األ ب د ي ة الم ع د ة إل ب ل يس وج ن ود ه أل ن ي ج ع ت ف م ا أ ط ع م ت مون ي وع ط ش ت ف م ا س ق ي ت م وني وك ن ت غ ريب ا ف م ا آو ي ت م ون ي وع ر ي ان ا ف م ا ك س و ت م ون ي وم ر يض ا وم ح ب وس ا ف م ا ز ر ت م ون ي! ح ين ئ ذ ي ج يب ه هؤ الء أ ي ض ا ق ائ لين: ي ا ر ب م ت ى ر أ ي ن اك جا ئ ع ا أ و ع ط ش ان أ و غ ر يب ا أ و م ريض ا أ و م ح ب وس ا وم ا خ د م ن اك ح ين ئ ذ ي ج يب ه م ق ائ ال : أ لح ق أ ق ول ل ك م: ك ل م ا ل م ت ع م ل وه أل ح د هؤ الء الص غ ار فل ي ل م ت ع م ل وه.وي ذ ه ب هؤ الء إ لى الع ذ اب األ ب د ي واأل ب ر ار إ لى الح ي اة األ ب د ي ة". When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. Then the righteous will answer him and say, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you? And the king will say to them in reply, Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me. Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me. Then they will answer and say, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs? He will answer them, Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me. And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life This is the Truth, peace be with you
