De libro primo Regum

The Lesson is taken from
the first Book of Kings

Dixítque Dóminus ad Samuélem : Usquequo tu luges Saul, cum ego projécerim eum ne regnet super Israël?  Imple cornu tuum óleo et veni, ut mittam te ad Isai Bethlehemítem ; provídi enim in fíliis ejus mihi regem.  Et ait Sámuel : Quómodo vadam? áudiet enim Saul et interfíciet me.  Et ait Dóminus : Vítulum de arménto tolles in manu tua et dices : Ad immolándum Dómino veni.  Et vocábis Isai ad víctimam, et ego osténdam tibi quid fácias, et unges quemcúmque monstrávero tibi.

And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.  And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.  And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

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

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

R.  Peccávi super númerum arénæ maris, et multiplicáta sunt peccáta mea : et non sum dignus vidére altitúdinem cæli præ multitúdine iniquitátis meæ : quóniam irritávi iram tuam, * Et malum coram te feci.
V.  Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco : et delíctum meum contra me est semper, quia tibi soli peccávi.
R.  Et malum coram te feci.

R.  I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea ; yea, I am not worthy to look up toward heaven because of the multitude of mine iniquities ; against thee only have I sinned ;  *   And done this evil in thy sight.
V.  I acknowledge my faults, and my sin is ever before me ; against thee only have I sinned.
R.  And done this evil in thy sight.

Fecit ergo Sámuel sicut locútus est ei Dóminus, venítque in Béthlehem, et admiráti sunt senióres civitátis occurréntes ei dixerúntque : Pacificúsne est ingréssus tuus?  Et ait : Pacíficus : ad immolándum Dómino veni : sanctificámini et veníte mecum ut ímmolem.  Sanctificávit ergo Isai et fílios ejus et vocávit eos ad sacrifícium.  Cumque ingréssi essent, vidit Eliab et ait : Num coram Dómino est Christus ejus?  Et dixit Dóminus ad Samuélem : Ne respícias vultum ejus neque altitúdinem statúræ ejus, quóniam abjéci eum, nec juxta intúitum hóminis ego júdico ; homo enim videt ea quæ parent, Dóminus autem intuétur cor.

And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?  And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.  And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.  But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

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

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

R.  Exaudísti, Dómine, oratiónem servi tui, ut ædificárem templum nómini tuo : * Bénedic et sanctífica domum istam in sempitérnum, Deus Israël.
V.  Dómine, qui custódis pactum cum servis tuis, qui ámbulant coram te in toto corde suo.
R.  Bénedic et sanctífica domum istam in sempitérnum, Deus Israël.

R.  O Lord, thou who hast had respect unto the prayer of thy servant, that he should build a temple to thy Name, *  O Lord the God of Israel, bless and sanctify this thy House for ever.
V.  O Lord, thou who keepest Covenant with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart.
R.  O Lord the God of Israel, bless and sanctify this thy House for ever.

In Feastdays of Simple rank :

V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Bénedic et sanctífica domum istam in sempitérnum, Deus Israël.

V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  O Lord the God of Israel, bless and sanctify this thy House for ever.

And on such Feastdays of Simple rank, and in the Office of St. Mary on the Sabbath, the Third Lesson is read according to the Proper.

Proper Third Lesson

Et vocávit Isai Abínadab et addúxit eum coram Samuéle.  Qui dixit : Nec hunc elégit Dóminus.  Addúxit autem Isai Samma, de quo ait : Etiam hunc non elégit Dóminus.  Addúxit ítaque Isai septem fílios suos coram Samuéle, et ait Sámuel ad Isai : Non elégit Dóminus ex istis.  Dixítque Sámuel ad Isai : Numquid jam compléti sunt fílii?  Qui respóndit  : Adhuc réliquuus est párvulus et pascit oves.  Et ait Sámuel ad Isai : Mitte et adduc eum.

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.  Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.  Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.  And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him.

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

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

R.  Audi, Dómine, hymnum et oratiónem, quam servus tuus orat coram te hódie, ut sint óculi tui apérti, et aures tuæ inténtæ, * Super domum istam die ac nocte.
V.  Réspice, Dómine, de sanctuario tuo, et de excélso cælórum habitáculo.
R.  Super domum istam die ac nocte.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Super domum istam die ac nocte.

R.  Hearken unto the prayer, O Lord my God, which thy servant prayeth before thee today, that thine eyes may be open and thine ears attent * Toward this House day and night.
V.  Look down, O Lord, from thy holy place, and from thy dwelling place in the height of heaven.
R.  Toward this House day and night.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  Toward this House day and night.
