De libro secúndo Machabæórum

The Lesson is taken from
the Latter Book of Maccabees

Invenítur autem in descriptiónibus Jeremíæ prophetæ, quod jussit eos ignem accípere qui transmigrábant, ut significátum est et ut mandávit transmigrátis, et dedit illis legem, ne oblivisceréntur præcépta Dómini et ut non exerrárent méntibus vidéntes simulácra áurea et argéntea et ornaménta eórum ; et ália hujúsmodi dicens hortabátur, ne legem amovérent a corde suo.

It is also found in the records, that Jeremiah the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified: and how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.  And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.

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.

Erat autem in ipsa scriptúra, quómodo tabernáculum et arcam jussit prophéta, divíno respónso ad se facto, comitári secum, úsquequo éxiit in montem, in quo Móyses ascéndit et vidit Dei hereditátem.  Et véniens ibi Jeremías invénit locum spelúncæ, et tabernáculum et arcam et altáre incénsi íntulit illuc, et óstium obstrúxit.  Et accessérunt quidam simul, qui sequebántur, ut notárent sibi locum, et non potuérunt inveníre.

It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.  And when Jeremiah came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.  And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.

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

Ut autem cognóvit Jeremías, culpans illos dixit, quod ignótus erit locus, donec cóngreget Deus congregatiónem pópuli et propítius fiat ; et tunc Dóminus osténdet hæc, et apparébit majéstas Dómini, et nubes erit, sicut et Móysi manifestabátur, et sicut, cum Sálomon pétiit ut locus sanctificarétur magno Deo, manifestábat hæc ; magnífice étenim sapiéntiam tractábat et ut sapiéntiam habens óbtulit sacrifícium dedicatiónis et consummatiónis templi.

Which when Jeremiah perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy.  Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified.  It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.

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.
