Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 2, 1-3 |
|
Verbum, quod vidit Isaías, fílius Amos, super Judam et Jerúsalem. Et
erit in novíssimis diébus præparátus
mons domus Dómini in vértice móntium, et elevábitur super colles, et
fluent ad eum omnes gentes. Et ibunt pópuli multi, et dicent :
Veníte, et ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Jacob, et docébit
nos vias suas, et ambulábimus in sémitis ejus : quia de Sion exíbit lex,
et verbum Dómini de Jerúsalem. |
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning
Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days,
that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of
the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall
flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us
go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and
he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R. Montes
Israël, ramos vestros expándite, et floréte,
et fructus fácite :
* Prope est ut
véniat dies Dómini.
V.
Roráte, cæli,
désuper, et nubes pluant justum : aperiátur terra, et gérminet Salvatórem.
R.
Prope est ut véniat dies Dómini. |
R.
O ye mountains of Israel, shoot forth your
branches and blossom and bring forth fruit : *
The day of the Lord is at hand to come.
V.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and
let the skies pour down the Righteous One : let the earth open, and let
her bring forth a Saviour.
R.
The day of the Lord is at hand to come. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 2, 4-6 |
|
Et
judicábit Gentes, et árguet pópulos multos : et conflábunt gládios suos in
vómeres, et lánceas suas in falces :
non levábit gens contra gentem gládium, nec exercebúntur ultra ad prælium.
Domus Jacob, veníte, et ambulémus in lúmine Dómini. Projecísti enim
pópulum tuum, domum Jacob : quia repléti sunt ut olim, et
áugures habuérunt ut Philísthiim, et
púeris aliénis adhæsérunt. |
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke
many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye,
and let us walk in the light of the Lord. Therefore thou hast
forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from
the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please
themselves in the children of strangers. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R. Erúmpant
montes jucunditátem, et colles justítiam : *
Quia lux mundi Dóminus cum poténtia venit.
V.
De Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de
Jerúsalem.
R.
Quia lux mundi Dóminus cum poténtia venit. |
R.
Let the mountains break forth with joy, and
the hills with righteousness, * For the
Lord, the Light of the world, cometh with power.
V.
The law shall go forth of Sion, and the
Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
R.
For the Lord, the Light of the world, cometh
with power. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 2, 7-9 |
|
Repléta est terra
argénto et auro : et non est finis thesaurórum ejus : et repléta est terra
ejus equis : et innumerábiles quadrígæ
ejus. Et repléta est terra ejus idólis : opus mánuum suárum
adoravérunt, quod fecérunt dígiti eórum. Et incurvávit se homo, et
humiliátus est vir, ne ergo dimíttas eis. |
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is
there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,
neither is there any end of their chariots: their land also is full of
idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own
fingers have made: and the mean man boweth down, and the great man
humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R.
Ecce ab Austro vénio, ego Dóminus Deus vester, *
Visitáre vos in pace.
V.
Aspíciam vos, et créscere
fáciam : multiplicabímini, et firmábo
pactum meum vobíscum.
R.
Visitáre vos in pace.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Visitáre vos in pace. |
R. Behold I,
the Lord your God, come from the South, *
To visit you in peace.
V.
I will look again upon you and make you
to increase : ye shall be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant
with you.
R.
To visit you in peace.
V.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
R.
To visit you in peace. |
