Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus; † patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis * opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, in diébus antíquis.
O God, we have heard with our ears; our fathers have told us of the work that Thou hast done in their days, and in the days of old.
Tu manu tua gentes depulísti et plantásti illos, * afflixísti pópulos et dilatásti eos.
Thy hand has destroyed the nations, and thou hast set them in their place; Thou hast afflicted the peoples, and Thou hast driven them out.
Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos;
For it was not with their sword that they conquered this land, nor did their arm save them,
sed déxtera tua et bráchium tuum et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.
but it is Thy right hand and Thy arm, and the light of Thy face, forasmuch as Thou lovedst them.
Tu es rex meus et Deus meus, * qui mandas salútes Iacob.
Thou art my king and my God, thou who command the salvation of Jacob.
In te inimícos nostros proiécimus * et in nómine tuo conculcávimus insurgéntes in nos.
Through Thou we will overthrow our enemies, and in Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.
Non enim in arcu meo sperábo, * et gládius meus non salvábit me.
For it is not in my bow that I will trust, * nor will my sword save me.
Tu autem salvásti nos de affligéntibus nos * et odiéntes nos confudísti.
But it is Thou who have saved us from those who afflicted us, and who have confounded those who hated us.
In Deo gloriábimur tota die * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sæculum.
In God we will glory all day long, and we will praise Thy Name forevermore.

Nunc autem reppulísti et confudísti nos * et non egrediéris, Deus, cum virtútibus nostris.
But now Thou've turned us away and put us to shame, and Thou don't go out with our armies anymore, God.
Convertísti nos retrórsum coram inimícis nostris, * et, qui odérunt nos, diripuérunt sibi.
Thou madest us turn our backs on our enemies, and those who hated us plundered us.
Dedísti nos tamquam oves ad vescéndum * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.
Thou hast given us up as sheep for slaughter, and thou hast scattered us amongst the nations.
Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine lucro, * nec dítior factus es in commutatióne eórum.
Thou sold thy people at a low price, and there was no crowd in the purchase that was made of them.
Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.
Thou hast repaid us the reproach of our neighbors, and an object of insult and mockery to those around us.
Posuísti nos similitúdinem in géntibus, * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.
Thou hast given us back the fable of the nations; the people shake their heads about us.
Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me,
All day long my shame is before my eyes, and the confusion of my face covers me entirely,

Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos,† nec oblíti sumus te; * et iníque non égimus in testaméntum tuum.
All these evils have come upon us; and yet we have not forgotten Thou, nor have we acted unjustly against Thy covenant.
Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum, * nec declinavérunt gressus nostri a via tua;
And our hearts have not withdrawn backwards; and Thou hast turned our steps away from Thy way.
sed humiliásti nos in loco vúlpium * et operuísti nos umbra mortis.
For Thou hast humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
Si oblíti fuérimus nomen Dei nostri * et si expandérimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a foreign god,
nonne Deus requíret ista? * Ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.
Won't God ask for an account of it anon? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die, * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.
For it is for thy sake that we are daily given up to death, and that we are looked upon as sheep for slaughter.
Evígila, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * Exsúrge et ne repéllas in finem.
Arise; wherefore do Thou sleep, Lord? Arise, and do not put us away forevermore.
Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ et tribulatiónis nostræ?
Wherefore do Thou turn away Thy face? Wherefore do Thou forget our misery and tribulation?
Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra, * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.
For our soul is humbled in the dust, and our bosom is as it were clinging unto the earth.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ
Miseratiónum Dómini recordábor, laudum Dómini super ómnibus quæ réddidit nobis Dóminus, et super multitúdinem bonórum dómui Israel, quæ largítus est eis secúndum misericórdias suas et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum suárum. Et dixit: " Verúmtamen pópulus meus est, fílii qui non delúdent "; et factus est eis salvátor. In omni tribulatióne eórum non legátus neque ángelus, sed ipse salvávit eos. In dilectióne sua et in indulgéntia sua ipse redémit eos et sústulit eos et portávit eos cunctis diébus sæculi.
Ipsi autem ad iracúndiam provocavérunt et afflixérunt spíritum sanctitátis eius; et convérsus est eis in inimícum et ipse debellávit eos. Et recordátus est diérum antiquórum, Móysi et pópuli sui. Ubi est qui edúxit eos de mari cum pastóre gregis sui? Ubi est qui pósuit in médio eius spíritum sanctitátis suæ? Qui addúxit ad déxteram Móysi bráchium maiestátis suæ, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut fáceret sibi nomen sempitérnum, qui dedúxit eos per abýssos quasi equum per desértum, et non impingébant? Sicut arméntum quod descéndit per vallem, spíritus Dómini fecit eos quiéscere; sic conduxísti pópulum tuum, ut fáceres tibi nomen glóriæ.
Atténde de cælo et vide de habitáculo sancto tuo et glóriæ tuæ; ubi est zelus tuus et fortitúdo tua? Commótio víscerum tuórum et misericórdiæ tuæ super me continuérunt se. Tu enim pater noster. Abraham enim nescit nos, et Israel ignórat nos; tu, Dómine, pater noster, redémptor noster: a sæculo nomen tuum. Quare erráre nos fecísti, Dómine, de viis tuis, indurásti cor nostrum, ne timerémus te? Convértere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditátis tuæ. Brevi témpore hereditavérunt pópulum sanctum tuum, hostes nostri conculcavérunt sanctuárium tuum. Facti sumus a sæculo, cum non dominaréris nostri, neque invocarétur nomen tuum super nos. Utinam dirúmperes cælos et descénderes! A fácie tua montes deflúerent. Sicut ignis succéndit sarménta, aquam ebullíre facit ignis, ut notum fácias nomen tuum inimícis tuis, a fácia tua gentes turbéntur.
r. Vidéntes stellam magi, gavísi sunt gáudio magno; et intrántes domum, invenérunt púerum cum María Matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum. * Et apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, tus et myrrham. v. Stella quam víderant in Oriénte antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra ubi erat puer. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi (Sermo 204, 1-2: PL 38, 1037-1038)
Ante paucos dies natálem Dómini celebrávimus: Epiphaníam hódie celebrámus; quo græco vocábulo significátur manifestátio et refértur ad illud quod ait apóstolus: Sine dúbio magnum est pietátis sacraméntum, quod manifestátum est in carne. Ambo ítaque dies ad manifestatiónem pértinent Christi. In illo quippe natus est homo ex hómine matre, qui sine inítio Deus erat apud Patrem. Sed carni est manifestátus in carne; quia caro eum vidére non póterat, sicut erat in spíritu. Et illo quidem die qui natális ipsíus nuncupátur, vidérunt eum pastóres Iudæórum: hodiérno autem die qui Epiphanía próprie, hoc est manifestátio dícitur, adoravérunt eum magi géntium. Illis eum ángeli, istis vero stella nuntiávit. Cælos ángeli hábitant et sídera exórnant: utrísque ergo cæli enarravérunt glóriam Dei.
Utrísque enim natus est lapis anguláris; ut quemádmodum dicit Apóstolus: Duos cónderet in se in unum novum hóminem, fáciens pacem, et commutáret utrósque in uno córpore Deo per crucem. Quid enim est ángulus, nisi coniúnctio duórum paríetum, qui ex divérso véniunt, et illic quodam modo ósculum pacis invéniunt? Inimíca quippe inter se fuérunt circumcísio et præpútium, hoc est Iudæi et gentes, propter duo inter se divérsa atque contrária, inde veri uníus Dei cultum, hinc multórum atque falsórum. Cum ítaque illi essent prope, isti autem longe, utrósque addúxit ad se qui commutávit utrósque in uno córpore Deo, sicut idem Apóstolus consequénter adiúngit: Per crucem interfíciens inimicítias in semetípso.
Quia ergo pax vénerat eis qui erant longe et pax eis qui erant prope; pastóres Israelítæ tamquam prope invénti, eo die quo natus est Christus ad eum venérunt, vidérunt et exsultavérunt; magi autem gentíles, tamquam longe invénti, tot diébus interpósitis ab illo quo natus est, hódie pervenérunt, invenérunt, adoravérunt. Oportébat ítaque nos, hoc est Ecclésiam quæ congregátur ex géntibus, huius diéi celebratiónem quo est Christus primítiis géntium manifestátus, illíus diéi celebratióni quo est Christus ex Iudis natus, adiúngere, et tanti sacraménti memóriam gemináta sollemnitáte serváre.
r. Cum natus esset Dóminus Iesus in Béthlehem Iudæ, ecce magi ab Oriénte venérunt portántes múnera regália; * Stella splendidíssima antecedébat eos et requiévit supra ubi erat puer. v. Magi, vidéntes stellam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno; et intrántes domum, obtulérunt Dómino aurum, tus et myrrham. * Stella. v. Glória Patri. * Stella.

Deus, qui per Fílium tuum æternitátis tuæ lumen cunctis géntibus suscitásti, † da plebi tuæ fulgórem plenum sui Redemptóris agnóscere, * ut ad perpétuam claritátem per eius increménta pervéniat. Per Dóminum.
O God, who through Thy Son has caused the light of Thy eternity to rise upon all nations, grant that Thy people may recognize the full brightness of His Redeemer, that through Him thou may gradually attain eternal brightness.
