Hymnus

Veni, redémptor géntium, osténde partum Vírginis; mirétur omne sæculum: talis decet partus Deum.

Non ex viríli sémine, sed mystico spirámine Verbum Dei factum est caro fructúsque ventris flóruit.

Alvus tuméscit Vírginis, claustrum pudóris pérmanet, vexílla virtútum micant, versátur in templo Deus.

Procédat e thálamo suo, pudóris aula régia, géminæ gigas substántiæ alácris ut currat viam.

Æquális ætérno Patri, carnis tropæo cíngere, infírma nostri córporis virtúte firmans pérpeti.

Præsépe iam fulget tuum luménque nox spirat novum, quod nulla nox intérpolet fidéque iugi lúceat.

Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

Psalmus 68

Psalm 68

Zelus domus tuæ comedit me

The zeal of Your house devours me

Dederunt ei vinum bibere cum felle mixtum (Mt 27,34).

They gave Him wine mixed with gall to drink.

Salvum me fac, Deus, * quóniam venérunt aquæ usque ad guttur meum.

Save me, O God, for the waters have entered my soul.

Infíxus sum in limo profúndi, et non est substántia; * veni in profúnda aquárum, et fluctus demérsit me.

I am buried in a deep mud, where there is no consistency; I went down unto the bottom of the water and the flood overwhelmed me.

Laborávi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ; * defecérunt óculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.

I tired myself out screaming, my throat was hoarse; my eyes have been exhausted, whilst I wait for my God.

Multiplicáti sunt super capíllos cápitis mei, * qui odérunt me gratis.

They have become more numerous than the hairs on my head, those who hate me without cause.

Confortáti sunt, qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei mendáces; * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.

They have become strong, my enemies who persecute me unjustly; I had to pay for what I hadn't taken.

Deus, tu scis insipiéntiam meam, * et delícta mea a te non sunt abscóndita.

O God, Thou knowest my folly, and my sins are not hidden from Thou.

Non erubéscant in me, qui exspéctant te, * Dómine, Dómine virtútum.

Let not those who hope in Thou be ashamed for my sake, O Lord, Lord of hosts.

Non confundántur super me, * qui quærunt te, Deus Israel.

Let them not be confounded about me, those who seek Thou, God of Israel.

Quóniam propter te sustínui oppróbrium, * opéruit confúsio fáciem meam;

For it was for Thee's sake that I suffered reproach, and confusion covered my countenance.

extráneus factus sum frátribus meis * et peregrínus fíliis matris meæ.

I became a stranger to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's sons.

Quóniam zelus domus tuæ comédit me, * et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi cecidérunt super me.

For the zeal of Thy house has devoured me, and the insults of those who reviled Thou hast fallen upon me.

Et flevi in ieiúnio ánimam meam, * et factum est in oppróbrium mihi.

I have afflicted my soul by fasting, and it hath been made a subject of reproach.

Et pósui vestiméntum meum cilícium, * et factus sum illis in parábolam.

I have taken a hairshirt for my garment, and I have become their fable.

Advérsum me loquebántur, qui sedébant in porta, * et in me canébant, qui bibébant vinum.

Those who sat at the door spoke against me, and those who drank wine mocked me with their songs.

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.

Ant. 2.

Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te, Dómine, * in témpore benepláciti, Deus.

But I pray to Thou, Lord. This is the favorable time, O God.

In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ.

According unto the greatness of Thy mercy, hearken unto me, according unto the truth of Thy promises of salvation.

Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar, † erípiar ab iis, qui odérunt me, * et de profúndis aquárum.

the raging waves do not overwhelm me; let not the abyss swallow me up, and let the well not close its mouth on me.

Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua; * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.

Hearken unto me, O Lord, for Thy mercy is all sweet; behold upon me according unto the abundance of Thy bounties.

Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo; * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.

And do not turn Thy face away from Thy servant; forasmuch as I am in anguish, hearken unto me quickly.

Accéde ad ánimam meam, víndica eam, * propter inimícos meos rédime me.

Be attentive to my soul, and deliver it for the sake of my enemies.

Tu scis oppróbrium meum * et confusiónem meam et reveréntiam meam.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes, qui tríbulant me; *oppróbrium contrívit cor meum, et elángui.

All those who persecute me are before thee; my heart expects insult and misery.

Et sustínui, qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit, * et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.

And I waited for someone to grieve with me, but no one did; and that someone would console me, but I found no one.

Et dedérunt in escam meam fel * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.

And they gave me gall for food, and in my thirst they quenched me with vinegar.

[Fiat mensa eórum coram ipsis in láqueum * et in retributiónes et in scándalum.

[Let their table be before them as a net, a just punishment and a stone of scandal.

Obscuréntur óculi eórum, ne vídeant, * et lumbos eórum semper infírma.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cease to behold, and bow their backs forevermore.

Effúnde super eos iram tuam, * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.

Pour out Thy wrath on them, and let the fury of Thy wrath seize them.

Fiat commorátio eórum desérta, * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.

Let their dwelling be desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

Quóniam, quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt, * et super dolórem eíus, quem vulnerásti, addidérunt.

Forasmuch as they persecuted him whom Thou smote, and added unto the pain of my wounds.

Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum, * et non véniant ad iustítiam tuam.

Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not enter into Thy righteousness.

Deleántur de libro vivéntium * et cum iústis non scribántur.]

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be inscribed with the righteous.]

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.

Ego autem sum pauper et dolens; * salus tua, Deus, súscipit me.

As for me, I am poor and in pain; Thy salvation, O God, has raised me up.

Laudábo nomen Dei cum cántico * et magnificábo eum in laude.

I will praise the name of God with songs, and glorify him with praises;

Et placébit Dómino super taurum, * super vítulum córnua producéntem et úngulas.

and it will be more pleasing to God than the young calf, whose horns and nails grow.

Vídeant húmiles et læténtur; * quærite Deus, et vivet cor vestrum,

Let the poor behold it and rejoice. Seek God, and thy soul will live;

quóniam exaudívit páuperes Dóminus * et vinctos suos non despéxit.

for the Lord has heard the poor, and He hath not despised His captives.

Laudent illum cæli et terra, * mária et ómnia reptília in eis.

Let the heavens and the earth praise Him; the sea, and all that moves in it.

Quóniam Deus salvam fáciet Sion † et ædificábit civitátes Iudæ; * et inhabitábunt ibi et possidébunt eam.

For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built. They will live there, and they will acquire it as an inheritance.

Et semen servórum eius hereditábunt eam * et, qui díligunt nomen eius, habitábunt in ea.

And the race of His servants will possess it, and those who love His Name will dwell there.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ

Descénde, sede in púlvere, virgo fília Bábylon; sede in terra sine sólio, fília Chaldæórum, quia ultra non vocáberis mollis et ténera. " Ultiónem cápiam, némini parcam ", dicit Redémptor noster, Dóminus exercítuum nomen illíus, Sanctus Israel. Sede tacens et intra in ténebras, fília Chaldæórum, quia non vocáberis ultra dómina regnórum.

Venient tibi duo hæc súbito in die una, órbitas et vidúitas; repénte venérunt super te propter multitúdinem maleficiórum tuórum, propter abundántiam incantatiónum tuárum. Et fidúciam habuísti in malítia tua et dixísti: " Non est qui vídeat me. " Sapiéntia tua et sciéntia tua, hæc decépit te. Et dixísti in corde tuo: " Ego, et præter me non est áltera. " Véniet super te malum, et néscies avértere; et írruet super te calámitas quam non póteris expiáre; véniet super te repénte miséria quam néscies. Sta cum incantatiónibus tuis et cum multitúdine maleficiórum tuórum in quibus laborásti ab adulescéntia tua: forte póteris iuvári, forte terrébis.

Defecísti in multitúdine consiliórum tuórum; stent et salvent te qui metiúntur cælum, qui contemplántur sídera et annúntiant síngulis novilúniis ventúra tibi. Ecce facti sunt quasi stípula, ignis combússit eos. Non liberábunt seípsos de manu flammæ; non sunt prunæ quibus caléfiant, nec focus ut sédeant ad eum. Sic fiunt tibi incantatóres tui in quibuscúmque laborásti ab adulescéntia tua; unusquísque in via sua errat, non est qui salvet te.

r. Ecce vénio cito, et merces mea mecum est, dicit Dóminus, * Dare unicuíque secúndum ópera sua. v. Hæc verba fidelíssima et vera, et ecce vénio cito. * Dare. v. Glória Patri. * Dare.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Petri Chrysólogi (Sermo 91, 1-2. 5-6: CCL 24A, 562-563. 565-566)

Aurum de terra légere qui novérunt, ubi dívitem sénserint venam, ibi quidquid est labóris impéndunt. Et nos, quia in sancto Zacharía cæléstem vídimus latére thesáurum, in ipso totum quod sermónis est mei, quod vestri audítus est occupémus, quátenus commúne lucrum sit quod fúerit commúni labóre quæsítum. Fuit, inquit, in diébus Heródis regis Iudææ sacérdos quidam nómine Zacharías ex vice Abía. Hinc iam díximus Et uxor eius de filiábus Aaron. Sic cœpit evangelísta, ut in cóniuge sacerdótis, serváto sacerdotáli stémmate, generósitas monstrarétur. Erant, inquit, ambo iusti ante Deum. Ambo iusti, quia in duóbus erat una iustítia. Ambo iusti, quia constábat inter eos non de diligéntia, sed de sanctitáte coniúgium. Ambo iusti, quia sexu díspares, pares méritis habebántur. Ambo iusti, quia ut erat in duóbus una caro, sic erat in duóbus unus spíritus.

Et ambo processérunt in diébus suis. Processérunt: sic descríbitur sacraménti senéctus, quæ nondum décidit méritis, non ætáte déficit, sed procédit; nec sentit detriménta córporis, quæ sumit augménta virtútis. Fratres, Elísabeth sanctæ partus non ablátus est, sed dilátus, donec transíret tempus carnis, pássio córporis, coniúgii necéssitas, voluptátis causa, cupiditátis sensus et totum quod humánam confúndit, gravat, ónerat consciéntiam. Mundabátur enim longo témpore sacrifícii domus, sanctitátis hospítium, metátum metatóris Christi, ángeli domicílium, aula Spíritus Sancti, Dei templum. Dei templum estis, inquit Apóstolus, et Spíritus Dei hábitat in vobis.

Denique ubi tota córporis sedáta queréla est, et in totum facti sunt sine queréla, mox sterílitas fugit, revivíscit senéctus, fides cóncipit, parit cástitas, náscitur maior hómine, par ángelis, tuba cæli, præco Christi, arcánum Patris, Fílii núntius, sígnifer supérni regis, peccatórum vénia, Iudæórum corréctio, vocátio géntium et, ut próprie dicam, legis et grátiæ fíbula, quæ diplóidem summi sacerdótis sancto patri iungébat in córpore. Evangelísta ergo virtútes patris matrísque descríbit, ut ex generántium méritis dígnitas gérminis noscerétur, et probarétur maior hómine, qui in ortu suo excedébat legem nativitátis humánæ.

r. Roráte, cæli, désuper, et nubes pluant iustum: * Aperiátur terra et gérminet Salvatórem. v. Emítte Agnum, Dómine, Dominatórem terræ, de petra desérti ad montem fíliæ Sion. * Aperiátur. v. Glória Patri. * Aperiátur.

Orémus.

Deus, qui splendórem glóriæ tuæ per sacræ Vírginis partum mundo dignátus es reveláre, † tríbue, quǽsumus, ut tantæ incarnatiónis mystérium et fídei integritáte colámus, * et devóto semper obséquio frequentémus. Per Dóminum.

God, who has deigned to reveal unto the world the splendor of Thy glory through the birth of the Holy Virgin, we beg Thou, grant us to honor the mystery of this marvellous Incarnation by the integrity of our faith, and to surround it unceasingly with our fervent homage.
