Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 24, 1-3 |
|
Ecce Dóminus dissipábit
terram, et nudábit eam, et afflíget fáciem ejus, et dispérget habitatóres
ejus. Et erit sicut pópulus, sic sacérdos : et sicut servus, sic dóminus
ejus : sicut ancílla, sic dómina ejus : sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit :
sicut fœnerátor, sic is qui mútuum
áccipit : sicut qui répetit,
sic qui debet. Dissipatióne dissipábitur terra, et direptióne prædábitur.
Dóminus enim locútus est verbum hoc. |
Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants
thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as
with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her
mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so
with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury
to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for
the Lord hath spoken this word. |
|
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 véniet Dóminus, protéctor noster, Sanctus Israël,
* Corónam regni habens in cápite suo.
V. Et
dominábitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flúmine usque ad términos orbis
terrárum.
R.
Corónam regni habens in cápite suo. |
R.
Behold there cometh the Lord our Defender,
the Holy One of Israel, * Wearing
the crown of his kingdom upon his head.
V.
And his dominion shall be from sea even
to sea, and from the River even to the ends of the earth.
R.
Wearing the crown of his kingdom upon his head. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 24, 4-6 |
|
Luxit et deflúxit terra,
et infirmáta est : deflúxit orbis, infirmáta est altitúdo pópuli terræ.
Et terra infécta est ab habitatóribus suis : quia transgréssi sunt leges,
mutavérunt jus, díssipavérunt fœdus
sempitérnum. Propter hoc maledíctio vorábit terram, et peccábunt
habitatóres ejus : ideóque insánient cultóres ejus, et relinquéntur
hómines pauci. |
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world
languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that
dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are
burned, and few men left. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R.
Sicut mater consolátur
fílios suos, ita consolábor vos, dicit Dóminus : et de Jerúsalem civitáte
quam elégi, véniet vobis auxílium : *
Et vidébitis et gaudébit
cor vestrum.
V.
Dabo in Sion salútem, et in Jerúsalem
glóriam meam.
R.
Et vidébitis et gaudébit cor vestrum. |
R.
As a mother comforteth her children, so will
I comfort you, saith the Lord ; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem,
the city which I have chosen. * And
when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice.
V.
I will place salvation in Sion, and in
Jerusalem my glory.
R.
And when ye see this, your heart shall
rejoice. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 24, 7-16 |
|
Luxit vindémia,
infirmáta est vitis, ingemuérunt omnes qui lætabántur
corde. Cessávit gáudium tympanórum, quiévit sónitus lætántium,
contícuit dulcédo cítharæ.
Cum cántico non bibent vinum, amára erit pótio bibéntibus illam. Attríta
est cívitas vanitátis, clausa est omnis domus, nullo introëúnte.
Clamor erit super vino in platéis :
desérta est omnis lætítia
: translátum est gáudium terræ.
Relícta est in urbe solitúdo, et calámitas ópprimet
portas. Quia hæc erunt in médio terræ,
in médio populórum : quómodo si paucæ
olívæ,
quæ
remansérunt, excutiántur ex ólea : et
racémi, cum fúerit finíta vindémia. Hi levábunt vocem suam, atque
laudábunt : cum glorificátus fúerit Dóminus, hínnient de mari. Propter
hoc in doctrínis glorificáte Dóminum, in ínsulis maris nomen Dómini Dei
Israël. A fínibus terræ
laudes audívimus, glóriam justi. |
The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the
merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of
them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall
not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that
drink it. The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut
up, that no man may come in. There is a crying for wine in the
streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. In the
city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there
shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when
the vintage is done. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing
for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God
of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the
earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. |

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,
plantábis víneam in móntibus tuis : exsultábis,
quóniam dies Dómini véniet : surge,
Sion, convértere ad Dóminum Deum tuum
:
gaude
et lætáre,
Jacob :
*
Quia
de médio Géntium Salvátor tuus véniet.
V.
Exsúlta satis, fília Sion : júbila, fília Jerúsalem.
R.
Quia
de médio Géntium Salvátor tuus véniet.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Quia
de médio Géntium Salvátor tuus véniet. |
R.
Jerusalem, thou shalt yet plant vines upon thy mountainsides, and thou
shalt rejoice because the day of the Lord shall come. Arise, O Sion,
and turn to the Lord thy God : be glad and rejoice, O Jacob :
*
Because thy Saviour shall
arise in the midst of the nations.
V.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion :
cry out with gladness, O daughter of Jerusalem.
R.
Because thy Saviour shall arise in the midst
of the nations.
V.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
R.
Because thy Saviour shall arise in the midst
of the nations. |
