Sors malorum et iustorum
Fate of the evil-doers and the righteous
Beati mites, quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram (Mt 5,5)
Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

Noli æmulári in malignántibus * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem,
Envy not the wicked, nor be jealous of those who work iniquity;
quóniam tamquam fenum velóciter aréscent * et quemádmodum herba virens décident.
for they will wither as quickly as grass, and, like the stems of plants, they will wither quickly.
Spera in Dómino et fac bonitátem, * et inhabitábis terram et pascéris in fide.
Hope in the Lord, and do good; then thou shalt dwell on the earth and feed on its riches.
Delectáre in Dómino, * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.
Put thy delight in the Lord, and He shall grant thou what thy heart asks.
Commítte Dómino viam tuam et spera in eo, * et ipse fáciet;
Discover thy way unto the Lord, and hope in Him, and He Himself will act.
et edúcet quasi lumen iustítiam tuam * et iudícium tuum tamquam merídiem.
And He shall make thy righteousness shine forth like light, and thy righteousness like the sun at its noonday.
Quiésce in Dómino et exspécta eum; † noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua, * in hómine, qui mólitur insídias.
Be subject unto the Lord, and pray to Him. Envy not him who succeeds in his way, the man who commits injustices.
Désine ab ira et derelínque furórem, * noli æmulári, quod vertit ad malum,
Leave anger, and abandon fury; Don't have any desire, it would be wrong.
quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur, * sustinéntes autem Dóminum ipsi hereditábunt terram.
For the wicked will be destroyed; but those who wait patiently for the Lord will have the earth as an inheritance.
Et adhuc pusíllum et non erit peccátor, * et quæres locum eíus et non invénies.
A little whilst longer, and the sinner will be no more; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.
Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.
But the meek will possess the earth, and they will delight in the abundance of peace.
Insidiábitur peccátor iústo * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.
The sinner will watch the righteous, and he shall gnash his teeth against him.
Dóminus autem irridébit eum, * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eíus.
But the Lord will laugh at him, forasmuch as he seeth that His day will come.
Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres, * intendérunt arcum suum,
Sinners have drawn the sword, they have drawn their bows,
ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem, * ut trucídent recte ambulántes in via.
to overthrow the poor and the needy, to slaughter those who have an upright heart.
Gládius eórum intrábit in corda ipsórum, * et arcus eórum confringétur.
Let their sword pierce their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
Mélius est módicum iústo * super divítias peccatórum multas,
Better the little of the righteous than the great riches of sinners;
quóniam bráchia peccatórum conteréntur, * confírmat autem iústos Dóminus.
for the arms of sinners will be broken, but the Lord strengthens the righteous.
Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum, * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.
The Lord knows the days of unblemished men, and their inheritance will be eternal.
Non confundéntur in témpore malo * et in diébus famis saturabúntur.
They will not be put to shame in the time of trouble, and in the days of famine they will be filled,
Quia peccatóres períbunt, † inimíci vero Dómini ut decor campórum defícient, * quemádmodum fumus defícient.
forasmuch as sinners will perish. But no sooner have the enemies of the Lord been honored and exalted, than they will fall and vanish like smoke.
Mutuátur peccátor et non solvet, * iústus autem miserétur et tríbuet.
The sinner will borrow and not pay; * But the righteous is compassionate and gives.
Quia benedícti eíus hereditábunt terram, * maledícti autem eíus exterminabúntur.
For those who bless God will possess the earth; but those who curse Him will perish.
A Dómino gressus hóminis confirmántur, * et viam eíus volet.
Man's steps will be directed by the Lord, and he shall delight in His way.
Cum cecíderit, non collidétur, * quia Dóminus susténtat manum eíus.
When it falleth, it will not break, for the Lord supports it with His hand.
Iúnior fui et sénui † et non vidi iústum derelíctum * nec semen eíus quærens panem.
I have been young, and I have grown old; but I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his race begging for bread.
Tota die miserétur et cómmodat, * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.
All day long he is compassionate and lending, and his race will be blessed.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

Declína a malo et fac bonum, * et inhabitábis in sǽculum sǽculi,
Turn away from evil and do good, and have an everlasting home.
quia Dóminus amat iudícium * et non derelínquet sanctos suos.
For the Lord loves righteousness, and He shall not forsake His saints;
Iniústi in ætérnum disperíbunt, * et semen impiórum exterminábitur.
they will be kept forevermore. The wicked will be punished, and the race of the ungodly will perish.
Iústi autem hereditábunt terram * et inhabitábunt in sǽculum sǽculi super eam.
But the righteous will possess the earth, and they will dwell in it forevermore.

The sinner watches the righteous, and he seeketh to put him to death;
Dóminus autem non derelínquet eum in mánibus eíus * nec damnábit eum, cum iudicábitur illi.
But the Lord will not abandon him into his hands, nor will he condemn him when he is judged.

Wait on the Lord and keep His way; and He shall exalt thou, so that thou may possess the earth as an inheritance. When sinners are exterminated, thou shalt behold.

Keep innocence, and have only equity in view, for good things will remain with the peaceable man.

De libro primo Regum
Transiérunt tres anni absque bello inter Sýriam et Israel. In anno autem tértio descéndit Iósaphat rex Iudæ ad regem Israel, dixítque rex Israel ad servos suos: "Ignorátis quod nostra sit Ramoth Gálaad et neglégimus tóllere eam de manu regis Sýriæ?" Et ait ad Iósaphat: "Veniésne mecum ad prœliándum in Ramoth Gálaad?" Dixítque Iósaphat ad regem Israel: "Sicut ego sum, ita et tu; pópulus meus et pópulus tuus unum sunt, et équites mei et équites tui." Dixítque Iósaphat ad regem Israel: "Quære, oro te, hódie sermónem Dómini."
Congregávit ergo rex Israel prophétas quadringéntos círciter viros et ait ad eos: "Ire débeo in Ramoth Gálaad ad bellándum, an quiéscere?" Qui respondérunt: "Ascénde, et dabit Dóminus in manu regis." Dixit autem Iósaphat: "Non est hic et álius prophéta Dómini, ut interrogémus per eum?" Et ait rex Israel ad Iósaphat: "Remánsit vir unus per quem possímus interrogáre Dóminum; sed ego odi eum, quia non prophétat mihi bonum sed malum: Michæas fílius Iemla." Cui Iósaphat ait: "Ne loquáris ita, rex." Vocávit ergo rex Israel eunúchum quemdam et dixit ei: "Festína addúcere Micham fílium Iemla." Venit ítaque ad regem et ait illi rex: "Michæa, ire debémus in Ramoth Gálaad ad prœliándum, an cessáre?" Cui ille respóndit: "Ascénde et vade próspere, et tradet Dóminus in manu regis." Dixit autem rex ad eum: "Iterum atque íterum adiúro te ut non loquáris mihi, nisi quod verum est in nómine Dómini."
Michæas ait ad regem Israel: "Vidi cunctum Israel dispérsum in móntibus quasi oves non habéntes pastórem. Et ait Dóminus: "Non habent isti dóminum; revertátur unusquísque in domum suam in pace"." Dixit ergo rex Israel ad Iósaphat: "Numquid non dixi tibi quia non prophétat mihi bonum, sed semper malum?"
Ille vero addens ait: "Proptérea audi sermónem Dómini: Vidi Dóminum sedéntem super sólium suum et omnem exércitum cæli assisténtem ei a dextris et a sinístris. Et ait Dóminus: "Quis decípiet Achab, ut ascéndat et cadat in Ramoth Gálaad?" Et dixit unus verba huiuscémodi et álius áliter. Egréssus est autem spíritus et stetit coram Dómino et ait: "Ego decípiam illum." Cui locútus est Dóminus: "In quo?" Et ille ait: "Egrédiar et ero spíritus mendax in ore ómnium prophetárum eius." Et dixit Dóminus: "Decípies et prævalébis; egrédere et fac ita." Nunc ígitur ecce dedit Dóminus spíritum mendácii in ore ómnium prophetárum tuórum qui hic sunt, et Dóminus locútus est contra te malum."
r. Sustinúimus pacem et non venit, quæsívimus bona et ecce turbátio; cognóvimus, Dómine, peccáta nostra, * Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos. v. Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris, iniúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus. * Non in perpétuum. v. Glória Patri. * Non in perpétuum.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Tractáctu Rupérti Tuitiénsis abbátis De opéribus Spíritus Sancti (Lib. 1, 8: SC 131, 80)
Beáta Virgo María sponsa Dei Patris erat, et causam pro qua gentis illíus Ecclésiam ille suam in Scriptúris cóniugem dicébat in ea perfícere, id est Verbum suum quod per corda et ora prophetárum vocále fécerat, per huius beátæ Vírginis úterum carnem fíeri, ante ómnia sæcula proposúerat. Hoc facto futúrum erat ut ipsum Verbum caro factum, ipse Deus Dei Fílius homo factus, Sponsus vocarétur et esset, atque ad suscipiéndas conscriptiónes coniúgii eius omnis Ecclésia, non relícto Patre, quem solum prius virum suum vocáre nóverat, conveníret.
Sic autem beáta Virgo, prióris Ecclésiæ pars óptima, Dei Patris sponsa esse méruit ut exémplar quoque fúerit iunióris Ecclésiæ sponsæ Fílii Dei, fílii sui. Qui enim Spíritus Sanctus, in útero vel de útero eius incarnatiónem operátus est Unigéniti Fílii Dei, ipse de útero vel per úterum Ecclésiæ, per vivíficum lavácrum grátiæ suæ, multórum operatúrus erat regeneratiónem filiórum Dei.
Nec vero ab re, ita distínguimus ut præcedéntem Ecclésiam Patris, sequéntem Fílii sponsam esse dixérimus. Nam quem virum non cognóverat, eius coniux Synagóga dici vel esse non póterat. Constat autem quia Dei Fílium illíus témporis Ecclésia non cognoscébat; nam excépto quod paucíssimis per prophetíæ spíritum revelabátur, de cétero Deus abscónditus erat.
r. Beáta et venerábilis Virgo, quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta est Mater Salvatóris. * Iacébat in præsépio et fulgébat in cælo. v. Dómine, audívi audítum tuum et tímui, considerávi ópera tua et expávi; in médio duórum animálium. * Iacébat. v. Glória Patri. * Iacébat.
Orémus.
Famulórum tuórum, quǽsumus, Dómine, delíctis ignósce, † ut, qui tibi placére de nostris áctibus non valémus, Genetrícis Fílii tui intercessióne salvémur. Per Dóminum.
We pray Thou, Lord, to forgive the sins of Thy servants, so that we, who cannot please Thou by our own actions, may be saved through the intercession of the Mother of Thy Son.
