Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 16, 1-4 |
|
Emítte Agnum, Dómine,
Dominatórem terræ
de Petra desérti ad montem fíliæ
Sion. Et erit : Sicut avis fúgiens, et pulli de nido avolántes, sic erunt
fíliæ
Moab in transcénsu Arnon. Ini consílium, coge concílium : pone quasi
noctem umbram tuam in merídie : abscónde fugiéntes, et vagos ne prodas.
Habitábunt apud te prófugi mei : Moab
esto latíbulum eórum a fácie vastatóris. |
Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to
the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. For it shall
be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of
Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. Take counsel, execute judgment;
make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the
outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. Let mine outcasts dwell
with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R. Rex noster
advéniet Christus,
* Quem Joánnes
prædicávit Agnum esse ventúrum.
V.
Super ipsum continébunt reges os suum,
ipsum Gentes deprecabúntur.
R.
Quem Joánnes prædicávit Agnum esse ventúrum. |
R.
Christ our King cometh : *
Even he whom John foretold as the Lamb that is to come.
V.
The kings shall shut their mouths at
him, all nations shall serve him.
R.
Even he whom John foretold as the Lamb that
is to come. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 16, 4-6 |
|
Finítus est enim pulvis,
consummátus est miser, defécit qui conculcábat terram. Et præparábitur
in misericórdia sólium, et sedébit super illud in veritáte in tabernáculo
David, júdicans et quærens
judícium, et velóciter reddens quod justum est. Audívimus supérbiam Moab,
supérbus est valde : supérbia ejus et arrogántia ejus, et indignátio ejus,
plus quam fortitúdo ejus. |
For the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth,
the oppressors are consumed out of the land. And in mercy shall the
throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle
of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his
haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |

R. Ante
multum tempus prophetávit Ezéchiel : Vidi
portam clausam ; ecce Deus ante sæcula ex ea procedébat pro salúte mundi : *
Et erat íterum clausa, demónstrans Vírginem,
quia post partum permánsit virgo.
V.
Porta quam vidísti, Dóminus solus
transíbit per illam.
R.
Et erat íterum clausa, demónstrans Vírginem,
quia post partum permánsit virgo. |
R.
Ezekiel in days of yore made prophecy and
said : I saw a closed gate ; behold thence it was that God went forth when
over the whole world salvation was dawning : *
And the gate was shut again, foreshewing her who after childing abode as
Virgin for ever.
V.
By the gate which thou sawest, only the
Lord may enter in.
R.
And the gate was shut again, foreshewing her who after childing abode as
Virgin for ever. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 16, 7-8 |
|
Idcírco ululábit Moab ad
Moab, univérsus ululábit : his, qui lætántur
super muros cocti láteris, loquímini
plagas suas. Quóniam suburbána Hésebon
desérta sunt, et víneam Sábama dómini
Géntium excidérunt : flagélla ejus usque ad Jazer pervenérunt : erravérunt
in desérto, propágines ejus relíctæ
sunt, transiérunt mare. |
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall
howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are
stricken. For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah:
the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof,
they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her
branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. |
|
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 Dóminus véniet, et omnes Sancti ejus cum eo, et erit in die illa lux
magna : et exíbunt de Jerúsalem sicut aqua munda : et regnábit Dóminus in
ætérnum *
Super omnes gentes.
V.
Ecce Dóminus cum virtúte véniet : et regnum in manu ejus, et potéstas, et
impérium.
R.
Super omnes gentes.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Super omnes gentes. |
R.
Behold, the Lord our God shall come and all
his Saints with him, and in that day there shall be a great light, and
living waters shall go out from Jerusalem ; and the Lord shall be King
* For ever over all the earth.
V.
Behold, the Lord shall come with strong
hand, for in his hand is power and might, and to make great, and to give
strength unto all.
R. For ever over all the earth.
V.
Glory be to
the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. For ever over all the earth. |
