Lesson i |

De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 19, 1-2 |
|
Onus
Ægypti.
Ecce Dóminus ascéndet super nubem levem, et ingrediétur
Ægyptum,
et commovebúntur simulácra Ægypti
a fácie ejus, et cor Ægypti
tabéscet in médio ejus. Et concúrrere fáciam Ægyptios
advérsus Ægyptios
: et pugnábit vir contra fratrem suum, et vir contra amícum suum, cívitas
advérsus civitátem, regnum advérsus regnum. |
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a
swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be
moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of
it. And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they
shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his
neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |

R.
Jerúsalem, cito véniet
salus tua : Quare mœróre
consúmeris? numquid
consiliárius non est tibi, quia innovávit te dolor?
*
Salvábo te, et liberábo
te, noli timére.
V.
Ego enim sum Dóminus,
Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, Redémptor tuus.
R.
Salvábo te, et liberábo
te, noli timére. |
R.
O Jerusalem, thy salvation cometh quickly.
Why then dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no King in thee? Is
thy Counsellor perished because birth-pangs have taken thee?
* Fear not, for I will save thee and deliver
thee.
V.
For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One
of Israel, thy Saviour.
R.
Fear not, for I will save thee and deliver thee. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 19, 3-6 |
|
Et
dirumpétur spíritus Ægypti
in viscéribus ejus, et consílium ejus præcipitábo
: et interrogábunt simulácra sua, et divínos suos, et pythónes, et aríolos.
Et tradam Ægyptum
in manu dominórum crudélium, et rex fortis dominábitur eórum, ait Dóminus
Deus exercítuum. Et aréscet aqua de mari, et flúvius desolábitur, atque
siccábitur. Et defícient flúmina : attenuabúntur, et siccabúntur rivi
ággerum. |
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst
thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to
the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits,
and to the wizards. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand
of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord,
the Lord of hosts. And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the
river shall be wasted and dried up. And they shall turn the rivers
far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the
reeds and flags shall wither. |
|
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. |
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. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 19, 11-13 |
|
Stulti príncipes Táneos, sapiéntes
consiliárii Pharaónis dedérunt
consílium insípiens. Quómodo dicétis Pharaóni :
Fílius sapiéntium ego, fílius regum antiquórum? Ubi nunc sunt sapiéntes
tui? annúntient tibi, et índicent quid
cogitáverit Dóminus exercítuum super Ægyptum.
Stulti facti sunt príncipes Táneos,
emarcuérunt príncipes Mémpheos,
decepérunt Ægyptum, ángulum populórum
ejus. |
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of
the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto
Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? Where
are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them
know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. The princes of
Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also
seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |

R.
Cívitas Jerúsalem, noli flere : quóniam dóluit Dóminus super te :
*
Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem.
V.
Ecce Dóminus in fortitúdine véniet : et bráchium ejus dominábitur.
R.
Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem. |
R. O city of
Jerusalem, weep not, for the Lord hath compassion on thee, *
And shall take away from thee all thy tribulation.
V.
Behold, the Lord God will come with
strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him.
R. And shall take away from thee
all thy tribulation.
V.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And shall take away from thee
all thy tribulation. |
