Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 14, 1-2 |
|
Prope est ut véniat
tempus ejus, et dies ejus non elongabúntur. Miserébitur enim Dóminus
Jacob, et éliget adhuc de Israël,
et requiéscere eos fáciet super humum
suam : adjungétur ádvena ad eos, et
adhærébit
dómui Jacob. Et tenébunt eos pópuli, et addúcent eos in locum suum : et
possidébit eos domus Israël super
terram Dómini in servos et ancíllas : et erunt capiéntes eos, qui se
céperant, et subjícient exactóres suos. |
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet
choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be
joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And
the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house
of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and
handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were;
and they shall rule over their oppressors. |
|
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 Domini. |
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. 14, 3-6 |
|
Et erit in die illa, cum
réquiem déderit tibi Deus a labóre tuo, et a concussióne tua, et a
servitúte dura, qua ante servísti : sumes parábolam istam contra regem
Babylónis, et dices : Quómodo cessávit exáctor, quiévit tribútum?
Contrívit Dóminus báculum impiórum,
virgam dominántium, cædéntem
pópulos in indignatióne, plaga insanábili, subjiciéntem in furóre gentes,
persequéntem crudéliter. |
And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord
shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard
bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, that thou shalt take up this
proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor
ceased! the golden city ceased! The Lord hath broken the staff of
the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people
in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is
persecuted, and none hindereth. |
|
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. |

V.
Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 14, 12-15 |
|
Quómodo cecidísti de cælo,
lúcifer, qui mane oriebáris? corruísti
in terram, qui vulnerábas gentes? qui dicébas in corde tuo : In cælum
conscéndam, super astra Dei exaltábo sólium meum, sedébo in monte
testaménti, in latéribus Aquilónis. Ascéndam super altitúdinem núbium,
símilis ero Altíssimo. Verúmtamen ad inférnum detrahéris
in profúndum laci. |
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the
nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. |
|
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. |
