Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 13, 1-4 |
|
Onus
Babylónis, quod vidit Isaías fílius Amos. Super montem caliginósum leváte
signum, exaltáte vocem, leváte manum, et ingrediántur portas duces. Ego
mandávi sanctificátis meis, et vocávi fortes meos in ira mea, exsultántes
in glória mea. Vox multitúdinis in móntibus, quasi populórum frequéntium
: vox sónitus regum, géntium congregatárum. |
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did
see. Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice
unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for
mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a
multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise
of the kingdoms of nations gathered together. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R. Súscipe
verbum, Virgo María, quod tibi a Dómino per Angelum transmíssum est :
concípies et páries Deum páriter et
hóminem,
* Ut benedícta
dicáris inter omnes mulíeres.
V.
Páries quidem fílium, et virginitátis
non patiéris detriméntum : efficiéris grávida,
et eris mater semper intácta.
R.
Ut benedícta dicáris inter omnes mulíeres. |
R.
Receive the Word, O Virgin Mary, which is
sent thee by the Angel from the Lord ; thou shalt conceive and bring forth
him who is God and Man, * And thou
shalt be called blessed among all women.
V.
Thou a Maiden undefiled shalt bear for
us the Holy Child ; this grace is given alone to thee, a Virgin and Mother
both to be.
R.
And thou shalt be called blessed among all
women. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 13, 4-8 |
|
Dóminus exercítuum præcépit
milítiæ
belli, veniéntibus de terra procul a summitáte cæli
: Dóminus, et vasa furóris ejus, ut dispérdat omnem terram. Ululáte, quia
prope est dies Dómini : quasi vástitas a Dómino véniet. Propter hoc omnes
manus dissolvéntur, et omne cor hóminis contabéscet, et conterétur.
Torsiónes et dolóres tenébunt ; quasi partúriens dolébunt : unusquísque ad
próximum suum stupébit, fácies combústæ
vultus eórum. |
The Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and
the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye;
for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from
the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's
heart shall melt: and they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take
hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall
be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R. Læténtur
cæli, et exsúltet terra, jubiláte, montes, laudem : quia Dóminus noster
véniet, *
Et páuperum suórum miserébitur.
V.
Oriétur in diébus ejus justítia, et
abundántia pacis.
R.
Et páuperum suórum miserébitur. |
R.
Sing, O ye heavens, and be joyful, O ye
earth, and break forth into singing, O ye mountains ; for our Lord will
come, * And he will have mercy on his
afflicted.
V.
In his time shall the righteous
flourish, yea and abundance of peace.
R.
And he will have mercy on his afflicted. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 13, 9-11 |
|
Ecce
dies Dómini véniet, crudélis, et indignatiónis plenus, et iræ
furorísque, ad ponéndam terram in solitúdinem, et peccatóres ejus
conteréndos de ea. Quóniam stellæ
cæli,
et splendor eárum, non expandent lumen suum : obtenebrátus est sol in ortu
suo, et luna non splendébit in lúmine suo. Et visitábo super orbis mala,
et contra ímpios iniquitátem eórum, et quiéscere fáciam supérbiam
infidélium, et arrogántiam fórtium humiliábo. |
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with
wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the
sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the
constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be
darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked
for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,
and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. |

V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |

R.
Aliéni non transíbunt per Jerúsalem ámplius : *
Nam in illa die stillábunt montes dulcédinem, et colles fluent lac et mel,
dicit Dóminus.
V.
Deus a Líbano
véniet, et Sanctus de monte umbróso et condénso.
R.
Nam in illa die stillábunt montes dulcédinem,
et colles fluent lac et mel, dicit Dóminus.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Nam in illa die stillábunt montes dulcédinem,
et colles fluent lac et mel, dicit Dóminus. |
R. There
shall no strangers pass through Jerusalem any more : *
For in that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills
shall flow with milk and honey, saith the Lord.
V.
God shall come from Lebanon, and the
Holy One from the thick and shady mountain.
R.
For in that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills
shall flow with milk and honey, saith the Lord.
V.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
R.
For in that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills
shall flow with milk and honey, saith the Lord. |
