De libro primo Machabæórum

The Lesson is taken from
the Former Book of Maccabees

Ante matutínum surrexérunt quinta et vigésima die mensis noni (hic est mensis Casleu) centésimi quadragésimi octávi anni et obtulérunt sacrifícium secúndum legem super altáre holocaustórum novum, quod fecérunt.  Secúndum tempus et secúndum diem, in qua contaminavérunt illud Gentes, in ipsa renovátum est in cánticis et cítharis et cínyris et cymbalis.  Et cécidit omnis pópulus in fáciem, et adoravérunt et benedixérunt in cælum eum qui prosperávit eis.

Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, and offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.  Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.  Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.

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 Gálaad : * 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 fecérunt dedicatiónem altáris diébus octo et obtulérunt holocáusta cum lætítia et sacrifícium et laudis et ornavérunt fáciem templi corónis áureis et scútulis et dedicavérunt portas et pastophória et imposuérunt eis jánuas.  Et facta est lætítia in pópulo magna valde, et avérsum est oppróbrium Géntium.  Et státuit Judas et fratres ejus et univérsa ecclésia Israël, ut agátur dies dedicatiónis altáris in tempóribus suis ab anno in annum per dies octo, a quinta et vigésima die mensis Casleu, cum lætítia et gáudio.

And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.  They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.  Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.  Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

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 ædificavérunt in témpore illo montem Sion et per circúitum muros altos et turres firmas, nequándo venírent Gentes et conculárent eum, sicut ántea fecérunt.  Et collocávit illic exércitum, ut servárent eum, et munívit eum ad custodiéndam Bethsúram, ut habéret pópulus munitiónem contra fáciem Idumææ.

At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.  And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.

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.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  Who had done so great things in Israel, and given them the victory, the Lord Almighty.
