De libro primo Machabæórum

The Lesson is taken from
the Former Book of Maccabees

Et parátum est regnum in conspéctu Antíochi, et cœpit regnáre in terra Ægypti, ut regnáret super duo regna, et intrávit in Ægyptum in multitúdine grávi, in cúrribus et elephántis et equítibus et copiósa návium multitúdine, et constítuit bellum advérsus Ptolemæum regem Ægypti, et véritus est Ptolemæus a fácie ejus et fugit, et cecidérunt vulneráti multi, et comprehéndit civitátes munítas in terra Ægypti et accépit spólia terræ Ægypti.

Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.  Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy, and made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.  Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils 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.  Dixit Judas Simóni fratri suo : Elige tibi viros et vade, líbera fratres tuos in Galilæam ; ego autem et Jónathas frater tuus íbimus in Galaadítim : * Sicut fúerit volúntas in cælo, sic fiat.
V.  Accingímini, fílii poténtes, et estóte paráti : quóniam mélius est nobis, mori in bello, quam vidére mala gentis nostræ et sanctórum.
R.  Sicut fúerit volúntas in cælo, sic fiat.

R.  Judas said unto Simon his brother : Choose thee out men, and go, and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee : and I, and Jonathan thy brother, will go into the country of Galaad : * As the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
V.  Arm yourselves, ye valiant men, and be in readiness : for it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people, and our sanctuary.
R.  As the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.

Et convértit Antíochus, postquam percússit Ægyptum in centésimo et quadragésimo tértio anno, et ascéndit ad Israël.  Et ascéndit Jerosólymam in multitúdine gravi et intrávit in sanctificatiónem cum supérbia et accépit altáre áureum et candelábrum lúminis et univérsa vasa ejus et mensam propositiónis et libatória et phíalas et mortaríola áurea et velum et corónas et ornaméntum áureum, quod in fácie templi erat, et commínuit ómnia.

 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude, and entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Ornavérunt fáciem templi corónis áureis, et dedicavérunt altáre Dómino : * Et facta est lætítia magna in pópulo.
V.  In hymnis et confessiónibus benedicébant Dóminum.
R.  Et facta est lætítia magna in pópulo.

R.  They decked the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and dedicated the altar unto the Lord : * And there was very great gladness among the people.
V.  They praised the Lord with Psalms and thanksgiving.
R.  And there was very great gladness among the people.

In Feastdays of Simple rank :

V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Et facta est lætítia magna in pópulo.

V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  And there was very great gladness among the people.

And on such Feastdays of Simple rank, the Third Lesson is read according to the Proper.

Proper Third Lesson

Et accépit argéntum et aurum et vasa concupiscibília et accépit thesáuros occúltos, quos invénit, et, sublátis ómnibus, ábiit in terram suam et fecit cædem hómimum et locútus est in supérbia magna, et factus est planctus magnus in Israël et in omni loco eórum, et ingemuérunt príncipes et senióres, vírgines et júvenes infirmáti sunt, et speciósitas mulíerum immutáta est.  Omnis marítus sumpsit laméntum, et quæ sedébant in thoro maritáli lugébant, et commóta est terra super habitántes in ea, et univérsa domus Jacob índuit confusiónem.

He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found. And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.  Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were; so that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.  Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness, The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  In hymnis et confessiónibus benedicébant Dóminum,  * Qui magna fecit in Israël, et victóriam dedit illis Dóminus omnípotens.
V.  Ornavérunt fáciem templi corónis áureis, et dedicavérunt altáre Dómino.
R.  Qui magna fecit in Israël, et victóriam dedit illis Dóminus omnípotens.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Qui magna fecit in Israël, et victóriam dedit illis Dóminus omnípotens.

R.  They praised the Lord with Psalms and thanksgiving, * Who had done so great things in Israel, and given them the victory, the Lord Almighty.
V.  They decked the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and dedicated the altar unto the Lord.
R.  Who had done so great things in Israel, and given them the victory, the Lord Almighty.
