As the bird, whose clarion gay Sounds before the dawn is grey, Christ, who brings the spirit’s day, Calls us, close at hand:
«Auférte —clamat— léctulos ægros, sopóros, désides; castíque, recti ac sóbrii vigiláte; iam sum próximus».
“Wake!” He cries, “and for my sake, From your eyes dull slumbers shake! Sober, righteous, chaste, awake! At the door I stand!”
Ut, cum corúscis flátibus auróra cælum spárserit, omnes labóre exércitos confírmet ad spem lúminis,
Iesum ciámus vócibus flentes, precántes, sóbrii; inténta supplicátio dormíre cor mundum vetat.
Lord, to Thee we lift on high Fervent prayer and bitter cry: Hearts aroused to pray and sigh May not slumber more:
Tu, Christe, somnum dísice, tu rumpe noctis víncula, tu solve peccátum vetus novúmque lumen íngere.
Break the sleep of Death and Time, Forged by Adam’s ancient crime; And the light of Eden’s prime To the world restore!
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

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.
Exsúrge, Dómine, ádiuva nos * et rédime nos propter misericórdiam tuam.

De libro secúndo Regum
Factum est, cum leváre vellet Dóminus Elíam per túrbinem in cælum, ibant Elías et Eliséus de Gálgalis; dixítque Elías ad Eliséum: "Sede hic, quia Dóminus misit me usque Bethel." Cui ait Eliséus: "Vivit Dóminus, et vivit ánima tua, quia non derelínquam te." Cumque descendíssent Bethel, egréssi sunt fílii prophetárum qui erant in Bethel ad Eliséum et dixérunt ei: "Numquid nosti quia hódie Dóminus tollat dóminum tuum désuper cápite tuo? " Qui respóndit: "Et ego novi, siléte."
Dixit autem ei Elías: "Elisée, sede hic, quia Dóminus misit me in Iéricho."Et ille ait: "Vivit Dóminus, et vivit ánima tua, quia non derelínquam te." Cumque veníssent Iérichum, accessérunt fílii prophetárum qui erant in Iéricho ad Eliséum et dixérunt ei: "Numquid nosti quia hódie Dóminus tollet dóminum tuum désuper cápite tuo?" Et ait: "Et ego novi, siléte." Dixit autem ei Elías: "Sede hic, quia Dóminus misit me ad Iordánem." Qui ait: "Vivit Dóminus, et vivit ánima tua, quia non derelínquam te." Iérunt ígitur ambo páriter, et quinquagínta viri de fíliis prophetárum secúti sunt, qui et stetérunt e contra longe. Illi autem ambo stabant super Iordánem. Tulítque Elías pállium suum et invólvit illud et percússit aquas, quæ divísæ sunt in utrámque partem, et transiérunt ambo per siccum.
Cum transíssent Iordánem, Elías dixit ad Eliséum: "Póstula quod vis, ut fáciam tibi ántequam tollar a te." Dixítque Eliséus: "Obsecro ut fiant duæ partes spíritus tui in me." Qui respóndit: "Rem diffícilem postulásti. Attamen si víderis me, quando tollor a te, erit tibi quod petísti; si autem non víderis, non erit." Cumque pérgerent et incedéntes sermocinaréntur, ecce currus ígneus et equi ígnei divisérunt utrúmque; et ascéndit Elías per túrbinem in cælum.
Eliséus autem vidébat et clamábat: "Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israel et auríga eius!" Et non vidit eum ámplius apprehendítque vestiménta sua et scidit illa in duas partes. Et levávit pállium Elíæ, quod cecíderat ei, reversúsque stetit super ripam Iordánis. Et pállio Elíæ, quod cecíderat ei, percússit aquas et dixit: "Ubi est Deus Elíæ étiam nunc?" Percussítque aquas, et divísæ sunt huc atque illuc, et tránsiit Eliséus.
r. Factum est dum tólleret Dóminus Elíam per túrbinem in cælum, Eliséus clamábat dicens: * Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israel et auríga eius. v. Oro, dómine, ut fiat spíritus tuus duplex in me. At ille: Si vidéris quando tollar a te, erit quod petísti. * Pater mi. v. Glória Patri. * Pater mi.

Ex Homilíis sancti Ioánnis Chrysóstomi epíscopi (Hom. de ascensione Eliæ: PLS 4, 835)
Apud quosdam véteres reges moris erat, ut si quis fórtiter pro rege fecísset in bello, et corpus et ánimam perículis obícere non timuísset, curru, atque áliis régiæ dignitátis insígnibus donarétur.

Quanto magis omnípotens Deus, quia Rex regum et Dóminus dominórum est, Elíam suum tota se córporis et ánimæ devotióne zelántem, post multórum labórum sudóres, post dirárum persecutiónum gravíssimas fatigatiónes, post tantórum bellórum magnas illustrésque victórias, opíma de mundo et diábolo spólia referéntem, ígneo curru atque equis flammántibus impósitum, triumpháli glória præfulgénte, ad sua regna vóluit perveníre!
Oportébat namque errántis pópuli rectórem, gubernatórem sacrórum, moderatórem discrepántium voluptátum, Isrǽlis aurígam, qui ad iugum timóris Dei, quóniam ad lascívos et vagos ánimos revocávit, frenis, lorísque astrínxit, et ad iter disciplínæ recto tenóre curréndum concórdi quadam copulatióne compósuit, ad regna cæléstia curru, atque equis transvoláret evéctus.
Hinc poétas atque pictóres in figuránda solis imágine exémpla, credo sumpsísse. Qui curru atque equis fulgéntibus ipse rútilans atque rádians, et fluctu océani sublevátus inter prærúptos móntium scópulos evádens, quasi ad cæléstia vidétur ascéndere in similitúdinem lúminis eius indúctus. Sol enim græco sermóne Hélios appellátur. Unde Elías vere Hélios, quóniam curru atque equis fulgéntibus, igne de océani fluctu, id est de mundi commotióne: per móntium scópulos, id est per magnórum labórum difficultátes progrédiens ad cæléstia devéctus ascéndit.
r. Vidérunt te aquæ, Deus, vidérunt te aquæ, et timuérunt; * Multitúdo sónitus aquárum vocem dedérunt nubes. v. Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ, commóta est et contrémuit terra. * Multitúdo. v. Glória Patri. * Multitúdo.
Orémus.
Adésto, Dómine, fámulis tuis, et perpétuam benignitátem largíre poscéntibus, ut his, qui te auctórem et gubernatórem gloriántur habére, et creáta restáures, et restauráta consérves.
Make Thyself present, O Lord, to Thy servants who implore Thee, lavishing upon them Thy inexhaustible goodness; it is their pride to have Thou as their Creator and Providence, to restore (in them) what is pleasing to Thou, and then maintain what has been restored.
