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!

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 Ieremíæ prophétæ 27, 1-15
In princípio regni Sedecíæ fílii Iosíæ regis Iudæ factum est verbum istud ad Ieremíam a Dómino dicens: "Hæc dicit Dóminus ad me: Fac tibi víncula et iuga et pones ea in collo tuo et mittes ea ad regem Edom et ad regem Moab et ad regem filiórum Ammon et ad regem Tyri et ad regem Sidónis in manu nuntiórum, qui venérunt Ierúsalem ad Sedecíam regem Iudæ; et præcípies eis, ut ad dóminos suos loquántur:
"Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum, Deus Israel: Hæc dicétis ad dóminos vestros: Ego feci terram et hóminem et iuménta, quæ sunt super fáciem terræ, in fortitúdine mea magna et in bráchio meo exténto et dedi eam ei qui plácuit in óculis meis. Et nunc ítaque ego dedi omnes terras istas in manu Nabuchodónosor regis Babylónis servi mei, ínsuper et béstias agri dedi ei, ut sérviant illi; et sérvient ei omnes gentes et fílio eius et fílio fílii eius, donec véniat tempus terræ eius étiam ipsíus: et sérvient ei gentes multæ et reges magni."
"Gens autem et regnum, quod non servíerit Nabuchodónosor regi Babylónis, et quicúmque non curváverit collum suum sub iugo regis Babylónis, in gládio et in fame et in peste visitábo super gentem illam, ait Dóminus, donec consúmam eos in manu eius. Vos ergo nolíte audíre prophétas vestros et divínos et somniatóres et augúres et maléficos, qui dicunt vobis: "Non serviétis regi Babylónis", quia mendácium prophétant vobis, ut longe vos fáciant de terra vestra, et eíciam vos, et pereátis. Porro gens, quæ subiécerit cervícem suam sub iugo regis Babylónis et servíerit ei, dimíttam eam in terra sua, dicit Dóminus, et colet eam et habitábit in ea."
Et ad Sedecíam regem Iudæ locútus sum secúndum ómnia verba hæc dicens: "Subícite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylónis et servíte ei et pópulo eius, et vivétis. Quare moriémini tu et pópulus tuus gládio, fame et peste, sicut locútus est Dóminus ad gentem, quæ servíre nolúerit regi Babylónis? Nolíte audíre verba prophetárum dicéntium vobis: "Non serviétis regi Babylónis", quia mendácium ipsi loquúntur vobis. Quia non misi eos, ait Dóminus, et ipsi prophétant in nómine meo mendáciter, ut eíciam vos et pereátis, tam vos quam prophétæ, qui vaticinántur vobis."
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.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernárdi abbátis super Cántica canticórum (Sermo 23, 1: EC 1, 138-139)
Introdúxit me rex in cellária sua. Ecce unde odor, ecce quo cúrritur. Díxerat quia curréndum, et in quo curréndum; sed quo curréndum esset non díxerat. Ergo ad cellária cúrritur, et cúrritur in odóre qui ex ipsis procédit, sponsa illum sólita sua sagacitáte præsentiénte, et cupiénte in ipsíus plenitúdinem introdúci. Verum de celláriis his quid sentiéndum putámus? Cogitémus ea ínterim loca quædam redoléntia penes sponsum, plena odoraméntis, reférta delíciis. In istiúsmodi nempe officína potióra quæque ex horto sive ex agro servánda reponúntur.
Illuc ergo páriter currunt. Qui? Spíritu fervéntes ánimæ. Currit sponsa, currunt adulescéntulæ; sed quæ amat ardéntius currit velócius et cítius pérvenit. Pervéniens, non dico repulsiónem, sed nec cunctatiónem pátitur. Sine mora apéritur ei, tamquam domésticæ, tamquam caríssimæ, tamquam speciáliter diléctæ et singuláriter grátæ. Adulescéntulæ autem quid? Sequúntur a longe; neque enim, cum adhuc infírmæ sint, pari possunt devotióne cum sponsa cúrrere, nec ipsíus omníno imitári desidérium et fervórem; ideóque tárdius perveniéntes, foris rémanent. At cáritas sponsæ non quiéscit, neque insoléscit, ut ássolet, succéssibus suis, ut eas obliviscátur, consólans magis et hortans ad patiéntiam, quátenus æquanímiter et sui ferant repúlsam, et illíus abséntiam.
Dénique et núntiat eis gáudium quod percépit, non ob áliud sane, nisi ut sibi congáudeant, dum confídant mínime aliénum fore a se quidquid grátiæ matri accésserit. Nam nec illa ita profícere curat, quo ipsárum néglegat curam, nec iuvándos suos proféctus putat illárum damno. Quocúmque proínde meritórum prærogatíva tollátur ab illis, caritáte absque dúbio et pia sollicitúdine necésse est eam semper esse cum illis. Opórtet dénique eam sponsum suum imitári, et peténtem nimírum cælos, et nihilóminus in terris cum suis se fore usque ad consummatiónem sæculi pollicéntem.
r. Atténde, Dómine, ad me, et audi voces adversariórum meórum. * Numquid rédditur pro bono malum, quia fodérunt fóveam ánimæ meæ? v. Recordáre quod stéterim in conspéctu tuo ut lóquerer pro eis bonum, et avérterem indignatiónem tuam ab eis. * Numquid. v. Glória Patri. * Numquid.
Orémus.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, da nobis fídei, spei et caritátis augméntum, † et, ut mereámur ássequi quod promíttis, * fac nos amáre quod præcipis. Per Dóminum.
Eternal and almighty God, increase in us faith, hope, and charity; and that we may obtain what Thou promise, make us love what Thou command.
