2025 年即將完結。

ji6 ling4 ji4 ng5 nin4 zik1 zoeng1 jyun4 git3.

As 2025 comes to an end.

呢一年，有太多悲傷同失去。

ni1 jat1 nin4, jau5 taai3 do1 bei1 soeng1 tung4 sat1 heoi3.

This year has held so much grief and loss.

我爸爸離開咗。

ngo5 baa4 baa1 lei4 hoi1 zo2.

My dad passed away.

世界各地，悲劇仍然不斷發生。

sai3 gaai3 gok3 dei6, bei1 gek6 jing4 jin4 bat1 dyun6 faat3 sang1.

Tragedies continue to happen around the world.

生活，對好多人嚟講，真係好難。

sang1 wut6, deoi3 hou2 do1 jan4 lei4 gong2, zan1 hai6 hou2 naan4.

Life has been hard for many people.

喺聖誕同冬至之間，

hai2 sing3 daan3 tung4 dung1 zi3 zi1 gaan1,

Between Christmas and the Winter Solstice,

我哋一齊停一停。

ngo5 dei6 jat1 cai4 ting4 jat1 ting4.

we pause together.

問一個好真嘅問題：

man6 jat1 go3 hou2 zan1 ge3 man6 tai4:

to ask an honest question:

我哋嘅盼望喺邊？

ngo5 dei6 ge3 paan3 mong6 hai2 bin1?

Where is our hope?

聖誕唔係否認黑暗，

sing3 daan3 m4 hai6 jau5 jing6 hak1 am3,

Christmas does not deny darkness,

而係神選擇走入黑暗。

ji4 hai6 san4 syun2 zaak6 zau2 jap6 hak1 am3.

it is God choosing to enter the darkness.

以馬內利——神與我哋同在。

ji5 maa5 noi6 lei6 — san4 tung4 ngo5 dei6 tung4 zoi6.

Emmanuel — God with us.

冬至係一年最長、最深嘅黑夜，

dung1 zi3 hai6 jat1 nin4 zeoi3 coeng4, zeoi3 sam1 ge3 hak1 je6,

The Winter Solstice is the longest and deepest night of the year,

但亦都係光開始回來嘅時候。

daan6 jik6 dou1 hai6 gwong1 hoi1 ci2 wui4 loi4 ge3 si4 hau6.

but also the moment when light begins to return.

黑夜已深，白晝將近。

hak1 je6 ji5 sam1, baak6 zau3 zoeng1 gan6.

The night is far gone; the day is near.

如果你覺得攰，

jyu4 gwo2 nei5 gok3 dak1 gui6,

If you feel tired,

你唔係軟弱。

nei5 m4 hai6 jyun5 joek6.

you are not weak.

如果你喺哀傷入面，

jyu4 gwo2 nei5 hai2 oi1 soeng1 jap6 min6,

If you are grieving,

你唔係冇信心。

nei5 m4 hai6 mou5 seon3 sam1.

you are not faithless.

光已經嚟到，

gwong1 ji5 ging1 lei4 dou3,

The Light has come,

而且，佢唔會離開。

ji4 ce2, keoi5 m4 wui5 lei4 hoi1.

and it will not leave.
