De libro secúndo Regum

The Lesson is taken from
the second Book of Kings

Misit ergo Dóminus Nathan ad David : qui, cum venísset ad eum, dixit ei : Duo viri erant in civitáte una, unus dives et alter pauper.  Dives habébat oves et boves plúrimos valde ; pauper autem nihil habébat omníno præter ovem unam párvulam, quam émerat et nutríerat, et quæ créverat apud eum cum fíliis ejus simul de pane illíus cómedens et de cálice ejus bibens et in sinu illíus dórmiens ; erátque illic sicut filia.  Cum autem peregrínus quidam venísset ad dívitem, parcens ille súmere de óvibus et de bobus suis, ut exhibéret convívium peregríno illi qui vénerat ad se, tulit ovem viri páuperis et præparávit cibos hómini qui vénerat ad se.

And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.  The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.  And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to 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.  Præparáte corda vestra Dómino, et servíte illi soli : * Et liberábit vos de mánibus inimicórum vestrórum.
V.  Convertímini ad eum in toto corde vestro, et auférte deos aliénos de médio vestri.
R.  Et liberábit vos de mánibus inimicórum vestrórum.

R.  Prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only,  *  And he will deliver you out of the hand of your enemies.
V.  Return unto him with all your hearts, and put away the strange gods from among you.
R.  And he will deliver you out of the hand of your enemies.

Benedíctio 2: Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 2: May the Son of God, the sole-begotten, mercifully bless and keep us.
R.  Amen.

Irátus autem indignatióne David advérsus hóminem illum nimis, dixit ad Nathan : Vivit Dóminus, quóniam fílius mortis est vir qui fecit hoc : ovem reddet in quádruplum, eo quod fécerit verbum istud et non pepércerit.  Dixit autem Nathan ad David : Tu es ille vir.  Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus Israël : Ego unxi te in regem super Israël et ego érui te de manu Saul et dedi tibi domum dómini tui, et uxóres dómini tui in sinu tuo dedíque tibi domum Israël et Juda ; et, si parva sunt ista, adjíciam tibi multo majóra.  Quare ergo contempsísti verbum Dómini, ut fáceres malum in conspéctu meo?  Uríam Hethæum percussísti gládio et uxórem illíus accepísti in uxórem tibi et interfecísti eum gládio filiórum Ammon.

And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.  And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.  Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

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

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

R.  Deus ómnium exaudítor est : ipse misit Angelum suum, et tulit me de óvibus patris mei : * Et unxit me unctióne misericórdiæ suæ.
V.  Dóminus, qui erípuit me de ore leónis, et de manu béstiæ liberávit me.
R.  Et unxit me unctióne misericórdiæ suæ.

R.  God, which heareth all, even he sent his Angel, and took me from keeping my father's sheep, *  Whereupon he anointed me with the anointing of his mercy.
V.  Even the Lord that delivered me out of the mouth of the lion and the paw of the bear.
R.  Whereupon he anointed me with the anointing of his mercy.

Benedíctio 3: Spíritus Sancti grátia illúminet sensus et corda nostra.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 3: May the grace of the Holy Spirit all our heart and mind enlighten.
R.  Amen.

Quam ob rem non recédet gládius de domo tua usque in sempitérnum, eo quod despéxeris me et túleris uxórem Uríæ Hethæi ut esset uxor tua.  Itaque hæc dicit Dóminus : Ecce ego suscitábo super te malum de domo tua, et tollam uxóres tuas in óculis tuis et dabo próximo tuo, et dórmiet cum uxóribus tuis in óculis solis hujus.  Tu enim fecísti abscóndite, ego autem fáciam verbum istud in conspéctu omnis Israël et in conspéctu solis.  Et dixit David ad Nathan : Peccávi Dómino.  Dixítque Nathan ad David : Dóminus quoque tránstulit peccátum tuum : non moriéris.  Verúmtamen, quóniam blasphemáre fecísti inimícos Dómini propter verbum hoc, fílius, qui natus est tibi, morte moriétur.  Et revérsus est Nathan in domum suam.  Percússit quoque Dóminus párvulum, quem pepérerat uxor Uríæ David, et desperátus est.  Deprecatúsque est David Dóminum pro párvulo, et jejunávit David jejúnio et ingréssus seórsum jácuit super terram.

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.  Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.  For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.  And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.  Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.  And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.  David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

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

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

R.  Dóminus, qui erípuit me de ore leónis, et de manu béstiæ liberávit me, * Ipse me erípiet de mánibus inimicórum meórum.
V.  Misit Deus misericórdiam suam et veritátem suam : ánimam meam erípuit de médio catulórum leónum.
R.  Ipse me erípiet de mánibus inimicórum meórum.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Ipse me erípiet de mánibus inimicórum meórum.

R.  The Lord that delivered me out of the mouth of the lion and the paw of the bear. * He it is who will now deliver me out of the hand of mine enemies.
V.  God hath sent forth his mercy and truth, and delivered my soul from among the lions.
R.  He it is who will now deliver me out of the hand of mine enemies.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  He it is who will now deliver me out of the hand of mine enemies.

R.  Amen.

Benediction 4:  May God the Father Almighty shew us his mercy and pity.
R.  Amen.

Unusquísque nostrum per síngulas horas quam multa delínquit! nec tamen unusquísque de plebe peccátum suum confiténdum putat.  Ille rex, tantus ac potens, ne exíguo quidem moménto manére penes se delícti passus est consciéntiam ; sed, præmatúra confessióne atque imménso dolóre, réddidit peccátum suum Dómino.  Quem mihi nunc fácile repérias honorátum ac dívitem, qui, si arguátur alicújus culpæ reus, non moléste ferat?  At ille régio clarus império, tot divínis probátus oráculis, cum a priváto hómine corriperétur quod gráviter deliquísset, non indignátus infrémuit, sed conféssus ingémuit culpæ dolóre.

In how many things doth each one of us transgress every hour!  And yet few there be amongst all of us commoners that feel constrained to make a full confession of our sin.  But that mighty and illustrious man, King David, would not suffer his conscience to remain, even for a moment, under its burden of guilt.  For with eager confession and bitter sorrow, he made acknowledgement that he had sinned against the Lord.  Which of you will undertake, in this day and age, to find me some honoured and wealthy person, who will suffer it meekly if I rebuke him for a fault whereof he is guilty?  But David, in spite of the splendours of his royal authority, and of God's bestowal upon him of so many privileges, was not roused to resentment when he was rebuked by one of his subjects for his grievous transgression, but contrariwise, he acknowledged his sin, and wept with sorrow over 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.  Percússit Saul mille, et David decem míllia : * Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo : percússit Philisthæum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.
V.  Nonne iste est David, de quo canébant in choro, dicéntes : Saul percússit mille, et David decem míllia?
R.  Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo : percússit Philisthæum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.

R.  Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.  *  Because the hand of the Lord was with him, he smote the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.
V.  Is not this David of whom they sang one to another in the dances, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands?
R.  Because the hand of the Lord was with him, he smote the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 5: Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 5: May Christ bestow upon us the joys of life eternal.
R.  Amen.

Dénique Dóminum dolor íntimi movit afféctus, ut Nathan díceret : Quóniam pœnítuit te, et Dóminus ábstulit peccátum tuum.  Matúritas ítaque véniæ, profúndam regis fuísse pœniténtiam declarávit, quæ tanti erróris offénsam tradúxerit.  Alii hómines cum a sacerdótibus corripiúntur, peccátum suum íngravant, dum negáre cúpiunt aut Deféndere ; ibíque eórum lapsus est major, ubi sperátur corréctio.  Sancti autem Dómini, qui consummáre pium certámen géstiunt, et cúrrere cursum salútis, sícubi forte ut hómines corrúerint, natúræ magis fragilitáte quam peccándi libídine, acrióres ad curréndum resúrgunt, pudóris stímulo majóra reparántes certámina ; ut non solum nullum attulísse æstimétur lapsus impediméntum, sed étiam velocitátis incentíva cumulásse.

The heart-felt contrition of David prevailed with the Lord, so that Nathan could say : Because thou hast repented, the Lord also hath put away thy sin.  And this instant gift of pardon sheweth how deep was the King's repentance, which was able to obtain the forgiveness of so grievous a transgression.  How often other men, when they are rebuked by priests, do but aggravate the heinousness of their sins by seeking to deny or to excuse them ; and in so doing they make their fall even more grievous, by the very means which should have holpen them to full repentance.  But the saints of the Lord, (being such as desire to fight the good fight of godliness unto the end, and to finish their course by saving their souls,) if they have fallen, as men are wont to do, rather through human weakness than through zest for iniquity, do rise more eager to go on than before.  Shame goadeth them into greater effort, so that their fall not only seemth not to have hampered them, but rather to have quickened their speed.

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

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

R.  Montes Gélboë, nec ros nec plúvia véniant super vos, * Ubi cecidérunt fortes Israël.
V.  Omnes montes, qui estis in circúitu ejus, vísitet Dóminus : a Gélboë autem tránseat.
R.  Ubi cecidérunt fortes Israël.

R.  O ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you! *  For there the mighty of Israel are fallen.
V.  Ye other mountains that stand round about, may the Lord look upon you, but let him pass by Gilboa.
R.  For there the mighty of Israel are fallen.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 6: Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 6: May God enkindle in our hearts the fire of his holy love.
R.  Amen.

Peccávit David, quod solent reges ; sed pœniténtiam gessit, flevit, ingémuit, quod non solent reges.  Conféssus est culpam, obsecrávit indulgéntiam, humi stratus deplorávit ærúmnam, jejunávit, orávit, confessiónis suæ testimónium in perpétua sæcula vulgáto dolóre transmísit.  Quod erubéscunt fácere priváti, rex non erúbuit confitéri.  Qui tenéntur légibus, audent suum negáre peccátum, dedignántur rogáre indulgéntiam, quam petébat qui nullis légibus tenebátur humánis.  Quod peccávit, conditiónis est ; quod supplicávit, correctiónis.  Lapsus commúnis, sed speciális conféssio.  Culpam ítaque incidísse, natúræ est : diluísse, virtútis.

David sinned, as kings are wont to do.  But he did penance, and lamented his sin and acknowledged his wretchedness, in a way that kings are not wont to do.  He admitted his guilt ; he begged forgiveness ; he deplored the misery of his depraved flesh ; he fasted ; he prayed ; and he even handed down for all ages to come a testimony of his confession in his well-known Psalm of Penitence.  What most private citizens are ashamed to do, this great King did not hesitate to confess publicly.  They who are answerable to courts of law are bold to deny their crimes, and too haughty to ask pardon.  Not so he, though he could be haled before no earthly judgment seat.  That he sinned was due to his fallen nature ; that he asked for pardon was due to his love for God.  To fall is a common thing, but such a confession was outstanding.  To transgress in such wise was a weakness of his nature ; to efface his guilt was a mark of his godliness.

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

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

R.  Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et pósui te páscere gregem pópuli mei : * Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
V.  Fecíque tibi nomen grande, juxta nomen magnórum, qui sunt in terra : et réquiem dedi tibi ab ómnibus inimícis tuis.
R.  Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.

R.  I took thee from thy father's house to be Ruler over my people Israel, * And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.
V.  And I have made thee a great Name, above the name of great men that are in the earth, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies.
R.  And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.

Absolutio: A vínculis peccatórum nostrórum absólvat nos omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus.

Benedíctio 7: Evangélica léctio sit nobis salus et protéctio.
R.  Amen.

In illo témpore : Cum turba multa esset cum Jesu nec habérent quod manducárent, convocátis discípulis, ait illis : Miséreor super turbam, quia ecce jam tríduo sústinent me nec habent quod mandúcent. Et réliqua.

At that time : The multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them : I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.  And so on, and that which followeth.

Posteáquam illa, quæ Ecclésiæ typum accépit, a fluxu curáta est sánguinis, posteáquam Apóstoli ad evangelizándum regnum Dei sunt destináti, grátiæ cæléstis impartítur aliméntum.  Sed quibus impartiátur, advérte.  Non otiósis, non in civitáte, quasi in synagóga  vel sæculári dignitáte residéntibus ; sed inter desérta quæréntibus Christum.  Qui enim non fastídiunt, ipsi excipiúntur a Christo, et cum ipsis lóquitur Dei Verbum, non de sæculáribus, sed de regno Dei.  Et si qui corporális gerunt úlcera passiónis, his medicínam suam libénter indúlget.

After the woman (who may be taken as a type of the Church) had been healed of the issue of blood, and the disciples had been appointed to preach the kingdom of God, then was given the food of heavenly grace.  But mark who they were unto whom he gave it.  He gave it not unto such as dwell at ease, not unto men in cities, not unto such as sit in places of worldly splendour, but unto men seeking Christ in a desert place.  It is such as are not given to niceties that Christ receiveth ; and unto them the Word of God speaketh, not of earthly things, but of the kingdom of God.  And furthermore, if any bear in them the running sores of fleshly passion, he freely bestoweth his medicine of healing.

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.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 8: Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 8: May help divine be with us all, for ever abiding.
R.  Amen.

Cónsequens ígitur erat, ut quos a vúlnerum dolóre sanáverat, eos alimóniis spiritálibus a jejúnio liberáret.  Itaque nemo cibum áccipit Christi, nisi fúerit ante sanátus ; et illi qui vocántur ad cœnam, prius vocándo sanántur.  Si claudus fuit, gradiéndi facultátem, ut veníret, accépit : si lúmine oculórum privátus, domum útique Dómini, nisi refúsa luce, intráre non pótuit.

And then it cometh to pass that, after healing those in the need thereof, he next relieveth their hunger with spiritual nourishment.  Thus it is that no man taketh Christ's meat unless he be first healed, and therefore, they that are bidden to the supper must first be cured by the very invitation itself.  The same must receive the power to walk, that they they may be able to come ; the blind, since they cannot see the door of the house of the Lord, must be given light.

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

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

R.  Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum : * Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth : * Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.
V.  Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo : Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus : et hi tres unum sunt.
R.  Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.

R.  The two Seraphim did cry the One to the Other : * Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts : * The whole earth is full of his glory.
V.  For there are Three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost : and these Three are One.
R.  Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  The whole earth is full of his glory.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 9: Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 9: May the King of Angels give us fellowship with all the citizens of heaven.
R.  Amen.

Ubique ígitur mystérii ordo servátur, ut prius per remissiónem peccatórum vulnéribus medicína tribuátur, post alimónia mensæ cæléstis exúberat ; quamquam nondum validióribus hæc turba reficiátur aliméntis, neque Christi córpore et sánguine jejúna solidióris fídei corda pascántur.  Lacte, inquit, vos potávi, non esca ; nondum enim poterátis, sed nec adhuc quidem potéstis.  In modum lactis quinque sunt panes : esca autem solídior, corpus est Christus ; potus veheméntior, sanguis est Domini.

Thus in all these teachings is shewn forth the order of the Sacraments.  The sinful soul is first healed by the remission of sins, and afterward is filled at the Table of the Lord.  However, the multitude described in this Lesson are such as do not as yet feed on those strong meats, nor pasture their spirits upon the Body and Blood of Christ, as do they of a more solid faith which had not yet come.  To use the words of Paul : I have fed you with milk and not with meat, for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.  The few little loaves are here, as it were milk ; the stronger meat will be the Body of Christ ; the more generous cup, the Blood of the Lord.

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

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