Hymnus

Consors patérni lúminis,
Lux ipse lucis, et dies,
Noctem canéndo rúmpimus:
Assíste postulántibus.

Aufer ténebras méntium,
Fuga catérvas dǽmonum,
Expélle somnoléntiam,
Ne pigritántes óbruat.

Sic, Christe, nobis ómnibus
Indúlgeas credéntibus,
Ut prosit exorántibus,
Quod præcinéntes psállimus.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

O Light of Light, O Day-spring bright,
Co-equal in thy Father’s light:
Assist us, as with prayer and psalm
Thy servants break the twilight calm.

All darkness from our minds dispel,
And turn to flight the hosts of hell:
Bid sleepfulness our eyelids fly,
Lest overwhelmed in sloth we lie.

Jesu, thy pardon, kind and free,
Bestow on us who trust in thee:
And as thy praises we declare,
O with acceptance hear our prayer.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

34:2 Apprehénde arma et scutum: * et exsúrge in adiutórium mihi.
34:3 Effúnde frámeam, et conclúde advérsus eos, qui persequúntur me: * dic ánimæ meæ: Salus tua ego sum.
34:4 Confundántur et revereántur, * quæréntes ánimam meam.
34:4 Avertántur retrórsum, et confundántur * cogitántes mihi mala.
34:5 Fiant tamquam pulvis ante fáciem venti: * et Ángelus Dómini coárctans eos.
34:6 Fiat via illórum ténebræ et lúbricum: * et Ángelus Dómini pérsequens eos.
34:7 Quóniam gratis abscondérunt mihi intéritum láquei sui: * supervácue exprobravérunt ánimam meam.
34:8 Véniat illi láqueus, quem ignórat: et cáptio, quam abscóndit, apprehéndat eum: * et in láqueum cadat in ipsum.
34:9 Ánima autem mea exsultábit in Dómino: * et delectábitur super salutári suo.
34:10 Ómnia ossa mea dicent: * Dómine, quis símilis tibi?
34:10 Erípiens ínopem de manu fortiórum eius: * egénum et páuperem a diripiéntibus eum.

34:1 O Lord, judge those who harm me, * assail those who attack me.
34:2 Take hold of weapons and a shield: * and rise up in assistance to me.
34:3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me: * say to my soul, 'I am your salvation.'
34:4 Let them be confounded and in awe, * who pursue my soul.
34:4 Let them be turned back and be confounded, * who think up evil against me.

34:7 For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction: * over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.
34:8 Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: * and may he fall into that very snare.
34:9 But my soul will exult in the Lord: * and delight over his salvation.

34:11 Surgéntes testes iníqui, * quæ ignorábam interrogábant me.
34:12 Retribuébant mihi mala pro bonis: * sterilitátem ánimæ meæ.
34:13 Ego autem cum mihi molésti essent, * induébar cilício.
34:13 Humiliábam in ieiúnio ánimam meam: * et orátio mea in sinu meo convertétur.
34:14 Quasi próximum, et quasi fratrem nostrum, sic complacébam: * quasi lugens et contristátus, sic humiliábar.
34:15 Et advérsum me lætáti sunt, et convenérunt: * congregáta sunt super me flagélla, et ignorávi.
34:16 Dissipáti sunt, nec compúncti, tentavérunt me, subsannavérunt me subsannatióne: * frenduérunt super me déntibus suis.
34:17 Dómine, quando respícies? * restítue ánimam meam a malignitáte eórum, a leónibus únicam meam.

34:11 Unfair witnesses have risen up, * interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
34:12 They repaid me evil for good: * to the deprivation of my soul.
34:13 But as for me, when they were harassing me, * I was clothed with haircloth.
34:13 I humbled my soul with fasting: * and my prayer will become my sinews.
34:14 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please: * like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
34:15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together: * scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
34:16 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn: * they gnashed their teeth over me.
34:17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? * Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.

Psalm 34(18-28)

34:18 Confitébor tibi in ecclésia magna, * in pópulo gravi laudábo te.
34:19 Non supergáudeant mihi qui adversántur mihi iníque: * qui odérunt me gratis et ánnuunt óculis.
34:20 Quóniam mihi quidem pacífice loquebántur: * et in iracúndia terræ loquéntes, dolos cogitábant.
34:21 Et dilatavérunt super me os suum: * dixérunt: Euge, euge, vidérunt óculi nostri.
34:22 Vidísti, Dómine, ne síleas: * Dómine, ne discédas a me.
34:23 Exsúrge et inténde iudício meo: * Deus meus, et Dóminus meus in causam meam.
34:24 Iúdica me secúndum iustítiam tuam, Dómine, Deus meus, * et non supergáudeant mihi.
34:25 Non dicant in córdibus suis: Euge, euge, ánimæ nostræ: * nec dicant: Devorávimus eum.
34:26 Erubéscant et revereántur simul, * qui gratulántur malis meis.
34:26 Induántur confusióne et reveréntia * qui magna loquúntur super me.
34:27 Exsúltent et læténtur qui volunt iustítiam meam: * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus qui volunt pacem servi eius.
34:28 Et lingua mea meditábitur iustítiam tuam, * tota die laudem tuam.

34:18 I will confess to you in a great Church, * I will praise you among a weighty people.
34:19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: * those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
34:20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me: * and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
34:21 And they opened their mouth wide over me: * they said, 'Well, well, our eyes have seen.'
34:22 You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent: * Lord, do not depart from me.
34:23 Rise up and be attentive to my judgment: * my God and my Lord, to my cause.
34:24 Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, * and do not let them be glad over me.
34:25 Do not let them say in their hearts, 'Well, well, to our soul': * neither let them say, 'We have devoured him.'
34:26 Let them blush and be in awe together, * those who congratulate at my misfortunes.
34:26 Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, * who speak great things against me.
34:27 Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice: * and let them ever say, 'The Lord be magnified,' who will the peace of his servant.
34:28 And so my tongue will express your justice, * your praise all day long.

Psalmus 36(1-15)

Psalm 36(1-15)

36:1 Noli æmulári in malignántibus: * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem.
36:2 Quóniam tamquam fænum velóciter aréscent: * et quemádmodum ólera herbárum cito décident.
36:3 Spera in Dómino, et fac bonitátem: * et inhábita terram, et pascéris in divítiis eius.
36:4 Delectáre in Dómino: * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.
36:5 Revéla Dómino viam tuam, et spera in eo: * et ipse fáciet.
36:6 Et edúcet quasi lumen iustítiam tuam: et iudícium tuum tamquam merídiem: * súbditus esto Dómino, et ora eum.
36:7 Noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua: * in hómine faciénte iniustítias.
36:8 Désine ab ira, et derelínque furórem: * noli æmulári ut malignéris.
36:9 Quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur: * sustinéntes autem Dóminum, ipsi hereditábunt terram.
36:10 Et adhuc pusíllum, et non erit peccátor: * et quæres locum eius et non invénies.
36:11 Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram: * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.
36:12 Observábit peccátor iustum: * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.
36:13 Dóminus autem irridébit eum: * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eius.
36:14 Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres: * intendérunt arcum suum,
36:14 Ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem: * ut trucídent rectos corde.
36:15 Gládius eórum intret in corda ipsórum: * et arcus eórum confringátur.

36:1 Do not choose to imitate the malicious: * neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
36:2 For they will quickly wither away like dry grass: * and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
36:3 Hope in the Lord and do good: * and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
36:4 Delight in the Lord: * and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
36:5 Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him: * and he will accomplish it.
36:6 And he will bring forth your justice like the light, and your judgment like the midday: * be subject to the Lord and pray to him.
36:7 Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way: * with the man who does injustices.
36:8 Cease from wrath and leave behind rage: * do not choose to imitate the malicious.
36:9 For those who are malicious will be exterminated: * but those who remain with the Lord, these will inherit the land.
36:10 Yet still a little while, and the sinner will not be: * and you will search his place and find nothing.
36:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth: * and they will delight in the multitude of peace.
36:12 The sinner will observe the just: * and he will gnash his teeth over him.
36:13 But the Lord will laugh at him: * for he knows in advance that his day will come.
36:14 The sinners have drawn the sword: * they have bent their bow,
36:14 So as to cast down the poor and the needy: * so as to massacre the upright of heart.
36:15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts: * and let their bow be broken.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalmus 36(16-29)

Psalm 36(16-29)

36:16 Mélius est módicum iusto, * super divítias peccatórum multas.
36:17 Quóniam brácchia peccatórum conteréntur: * confírmat autem iustos Dóminus.
36:18 Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum: * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.
36:19 Non confundéntur in témpore malo, et in diébus famis saturabúntur: * quia peccatóres períbunt.
36:20 Inimíci vero Dómini mox ut honorificáti fúerint et exaltáti: * deficiéntes, quemádmodum fumus defícient.
36:21 Mutuábitur peccátor, et non solvet: * iustus autem miserétur et tríbuet.
36:22 Quia benedicéntes ei hereditábunt terram: * maledicéntes autem ei disperíbunt.
36:23 Apud Dóminum gressus hóminis dirigéntur: * et viam eius volet.
36:24 Cum cecíderit non collidétur: * quia Dóminus suppónit manum suam.
36:25 Iúnior fui, étenim sénui: * et non vidi iustum derelíctum, nec semen eius quærens panem.
36:26 Tota die miserétur et cómmodat: * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.
36:27 Declína a malo, et fac bonum: * et inhábita in sǽculum sǽculi.
36:28 Quia Dóminus amat iudícium, et non derelínquet sanctos suos: * in ætérnum conservabúntur.
36:28 Iniústi puniéntur: * et semen impiórum períbit.
36:29 Iusti autem hereditábunt terram: * et inhabitábunt in sǽculum sǽculi super eam.

36:16 Better is a little to the just, * than the great riches of the wicked.
36:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: * but the Lord strengthens the just.
36:18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless: * and their inheritance shall be for ever.
36:19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be filled: * for the wicked shall perish.
36:20 But the enemies of the Lord, as soon as they are honored and exalted: * failing, they shall fail like smoke.
36:21 The wicked man borrows and does not repay: * but the just man shows mercy and gives.
36:22 For those who bless him shall inherit the land: * but those who curse him shall perish.
36:23 By the Lord the steps of a man are directed: * and he takes delight in his way.
36:24 When he falls he shall not be cast down: * for the Lord holds his hand beneath him.
36:25 I have been young, and now am old: * yet I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
36:26 All the day he shows mercy and lends: * and his seed shall be in blessing.
36:27 Turn from evil and do good: * and dwell for ever and ever.
36:28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints: * they shall be preserved for ever.
36:28 The unjust shall be punished: * and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
36:29 But the just shall inherit the land: * and shall dwell upon it for ever and ever.

Psalmus 36(30-40)

Psalm 36(30-40)

36:30 Os iusti meditábitur sapiéntiam, * et lingua eius loquétur iudícium.
36:31 Lex Dei eius in corde ipsíus, * et non supplantabúntur gressus eius.
36:32 Consíderat peccátor iustum: * et quærit mortificáre eum.
36:33 Dóminus autem non derelínquet eum in mánibus eius: * nec damnábit eum, cum iudicábitur illi.
36:34 Exspécta Dóminum, et custódi viam eius: et exaltábit te ut hereditáte cápias terram: * cum períerint peccatóres vidébis.
36:35 Vidi ímpium superexaltátum, * et elevátum sicut cedros Líbani.
36:36 Et transívi, et ecce non erat: * et quæsívi eum, et non est invéntus locus eius.
36:37 Custódi innocéntiam, et vide æquitátem: * quóniam sunt relíquiæ hómini pacífico.
36:38 Iniústi autem disperíbunt simul: * relíquiæ impiórum interíbunt.
36:39 Salus autem iustórum a Dómino: * et protéctor eórum in témpore tribulatiónis.
36:40 Et adiuvábit eos Dóminus et liberábit eos: * et éruet eos a peccatóribus, et salvábit eos: quia speravérunt in eo.

36:30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom, * and his tongue shall speak judgment.
36:31 The law of his God is in his heart, * and his steps shall not stumble.
36:32 The wicked man watches the just: * and seeks to put him to death.
36:33 But the Lord will not abandon him in his hands: * nor condemn him when he is judged.
36:34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt you to inherit the land: * when the wicked have perished you shall see it.
36:35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, * and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon.
36:36 And I passed by, and behold he was no more: * and I sought him, and his place was not found.
36:37 Keep innocence and see righteousness: * for there is a future for the man of peace.
36:38 But the unjust shall perish together: * the remnant of the wicked shall be cut off.
36:39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord: * and he is their protector in the time of tribulation.
36:40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them: * and he shall rescue them from the wicked, and save them: because they have hoped in him.

37:2 Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.
37:3 Quóniam sagíttæ tuæ infíxæ sunt mihi: * et confirmásti super me manum tuam.
37:4 Non est sánitas in carne mea a fácie iræ tuæ: * non est pax óssibus meis a fácie peccatórum meórum.
37:5 Quóniam iniquitátes meæ supergréssæ sunt caput meum: * et sicut onus grave gravátæ sunt super me.
37:6 Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ.
37:7 Miser factus sum, et curvátus sum usque in finem: * tota die contristátus ingrediébar.
37:8 Quóniam lumbi mei impléti sunt illusiónibus: * et non est sánitas in carne mea.
37:9 Afflíctus sum, et humiliátus sum nimis: * rugiébam a gémitu cordis mei.
37:10 Dómine, ante te omne desidérium meum: * et gémitus meus a te non est abscónditus.
37:11 Cor meum conturbátum est, derelíquit me virtus mea: * et lumen oculórum meórum, et ipsum non est mecum.

37:2 O Lord, rebuke me not in your fury, * nor chastise me in your wrath.
37:3 For your arrows are fixed in me: * and you have laid your hand upon me.
37:4 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger: * there is no peace in my bones because of my sins.
37:5 For my iniquities have gone over my head: * and like a heavy burden they are weighed down upon me.
37:6 My wounds have putrefied and festered, * because of my foolishness.
37:7 I have become wretched and bowed down to the end: * all the day I walked in sorrow.
37:8 For my loins are filled with delusions: * and there is no soundness in my flesh.
37:9 I am afflicted and greatly humbled: * I groaned with the groan of my heart.
37:10 O Lord, before you is all my desire: * and my groaning is not hidden from you.
37:11 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me: * and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.

Psalmus 37(12-23)

Psalm 37(12-23)

37:12 Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt.
37:12 Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.
37:13 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.
37:14 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum.
37:15 Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens: * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes.
37:16 Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi: * tu exáudies me, Dómine, Deus meus.
37:17 Quia dixi: Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei: * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt.
37:18 Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum: * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper.
37:19 Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo: * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo.
37:20 Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me: * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque.
37:21 Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi: * quóniam sequébar bonitátem.
37:22 Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, Deus meus: * ne discésseris a me.
37:23 Inténde in adiutórium meum, * Dómine, Deus, salútis meæ.

37:12 My friends and my neighbors * drew near and stood against me.
37:12 And those who were close to me stood afar off: * and those who sought my soul used violence.
37:13 And those who sought evil against me spoke vanities: * and meditated deceits all the day.
37:14 But I, like a deaf man, heard not: * and was as a mute not opening his mouth.
37:15 And I became as a man that hears not: * and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
37:16 For in you, O Lord, have I hoped: * you will hear me, O Lord my God.
37:17 For I said: Lest my enemies ever exult over me: * and when my feet are shaken, they speak great things against me.
37:18 For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is ever before me.
37:19 For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think upon my sin.
37:20 But my enemies live and are stronger than I: * and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:21 Those who return evil for good spoke ill of me: * because I pursued goodness.
37:22 Do not forsake me, O Lord my God: * do not depart from me.
37:23 Make haste to my assistance, * O Lord, God of my salvation.

℣ 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, * world without end. Amen.

Ant. Inténde in adiutórium meum, Dómine, virtus salútis meæ.

Ant. Be intent upon my help, O Lord, the strength of my salvation.

Ant. Ámove, Dómine, * a me plagas tuas.

Ant. Remove, O Lord, * your plagues from me.

Psalmus 38

Psalm 38

38:2 Dixi: Custódiam vias meas: * ut non delínquam in lingua mea.
38:2 Pósui ori meo custódiam, * cum consísteret peccátor advérsum me.
38:3 Obmútui, et humiliátus sum, et sílui a bonis: * et dolor meus renovátus est.
38:4 Concáluit cor meum intra me: * et in meditatióne mea exardéscet ignis.
38:5 Locútus sum in lingua mea: * Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum.
38:5 Et númerum diérum meórum quis est: * ut sciam quid desit mihi.
38:6 Ecce mensurábiles posuísti dies meos: * et substántia mea tamquam níhilum ante te.
38:6 Verúmtamen univérsa vánitas, * omnis homo vivens.
38:7 Verúmtamen in imágine pertránsit homo: * sed et frustra conturbátur.
38:7 Thesaurízat: * et ignórat cui congregábit ea.
38:8 Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea? Nonne Dóminus? * Et substántia mea apud te est.
38:9 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.
38:10 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.
38:12 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.
38:12 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam eius: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.
38:13 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.
38:13 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.
38:14 Remítte mihi, ut refrígerer priúsquam ábeam, * et ámplius non ero.

38:2 I said: I will keep my ways: * that I sin not with my tongue.
38:2 I set a guard upon my mouth, * while the wicked stood against me.
38:3 I was dumb and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: * and my sorrow was renewed.
38:4 My heart grew warm within me: * and in my meditation a fire shall blaze forth.
38:5 I spoke with my tongue: * Make me know, O Lord, my end.
38:5 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.
38:6 Behold, you have made my days as a handbreadth: * and my substance is as nothing before you.
38:6 Yet surely all is vanity, * every man that lives.
38:7 Surely man passes like an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.
38:7 He lays up treasures: * and knows not for whom he gathers them.
38:8 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with you.
38:9 Deliver me from all my iniquities: * you have made me a reproach to the foolish.
38:10 I was dumb and opened not my mouth, because you have done it: * remove your scourges from me.
38:12 Through the strength of your hand I have failed under your rebukes: * you have corrected man for iniquity.
38:12 And you have made his soul waste away like a spider: * yet surely every man is disquieted in vain.
38:13 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.
38:13 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with you, and a sojourner, * as all my fathers were.
38:14 Spare me, that I may be refreshed before I depart, * and be no more.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we also forgive those who trespass against us:

De libro primo Regum

From the First Book of Kings

1 Reg 1:12-18

12 Factum est autem, cum illa multiplicáret preces coram Dómino, ut Heli observáret os eius.
13 Porro Anna loquebátur in corde suo, tantúmque lábia illíus movebántur, et vox pénitus non audiebátur. Æstimávit ergo eam Heli temuléntam,
14 dixítque ei: Usquequo ébria eris? dígere paulísper vinum, quo mades.
15 Respóndens Anna: Nequáquam, inquit, dómine mi: nam múlier infélix nimis ego sum: vinúmque et omne quod inebriáre potest, non bibi, sed effúdi ánimam meam in conspéctu Dómini.
16 Ne réputes ancíllam tuam quasi unam de filiábus Bélial: quia ex multitúdine dolóris et mæróris mei locúta sum usque in præsens.
17 Tunc Heli ait ei: Vade in pace: et Deus Israël det tibi petitiónem tuam quam rogásti eum.
18 Et illa dixit: Utinam invéniat ancílla tua grátiam in óculis tuis.

12 Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
13 For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
14 and so he said to her: ‘How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.’
15 Responding, Hannah said: ‘By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of the Lord.
16 You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.’
17 Then Eli said to her: ‘Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.’
18 And she said, ‘I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.’

℟ Percússit Saul mille, et David decem míllia:

℟ Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands:

Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo: percússit Philisthǽum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.

For the hand of the Lord was with him; he struck down the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.

℣ Nonne iste est David, de quo canébant in choro, dicéntes: Saul percússit mille, et David decem míllia?

℣ Is not this David, of whom they sang in the chorus, saying: Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

℟ Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo: percússit Philisthǽum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.

℟ For the hand of the Lord was with him; he struck down the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adiuváre dignétur.

Benedictio. May the Only Begotten Son of God be pleased to bless and assist us.

1 Reg 1:18-22

18 Et ábiit múlier in viam suam, et comédit, vultúsque illíus non sunt ámplius in divérsa mutáti.
19 Et surrexérunt mane, et adoravérunt coram Dómino: reversíque sunt, et venérunt in domum suam Rámatha. Cognóvit autem Elcana Annam uxórem suam: et recordátus est eius Dóminus.
20 Et factum est post círculum diérum, concépit Anna, et péperit fílium: vocavítque nomen eius Sámuel, eo quod a Dómino postulásset eum.
21 Ascéndit autem vir eius Elcana, et omnis domus eius, ut immoláret Dómino hóstiam solémnem, et votum suum.
22 Et Anna non ascéndit: dixit enim viro suo: Non vadam donec ablactétur infans, et ducam eum, ut appáreat ante conspéctum Dómini, et máneat ibi iúgiter.

18 And she said, 'I wish that your handmaid may find grace in your eyes.' And the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her countenance was no longer changed for the worse.
19 And they rose up in the morning, and they worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and arrived at their own house at Ramah. Then Elkanah knew his wife Hannah. And the Lord remembered her.
20 And it happened that, in the course of days, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, because she had requested him from the Lord.
21 Now her husband Elkanah ascended with his entire house, so that he might immolate to the Lord a solemn sacrifice, with his vow.
22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, 'I will not go, until the infant has been weaned, and until I may lead him, so that he may appear before the sight of the Lord, and may remain always there.'

℟ Montes Gélboë, nec ros nec plúvia véniant super vos,

℟ O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew nor rain fall upon you,

Ubi cecidérunt fortes Israël.

where the mighty of Israel have fallen.

℣ Omnes montes, qui estis in circúitu eius, vísitet Dóminus: a Gélboë autem tránseat.

℣ May the Lord visit all the mountains that surround it: but from Gilboa may he pass away.

℟ Ubi cecidérunt fortes Israël.

℟ where the mighty of Israel have fallen.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Ad gáudia paradísi perdúcat nos misericórdia Christi.

Benedictio. May the mercy of Christ lead us to the joys of paradise.

1 Reg 1:23-28

23 Et ait ei Elcana vir suus: Fac quod bonum tibi vidétur, et mane donec abláctes eum: precórque ut ímpleat Dóminus verbum suum. Mansit ergo múlier, et lactávit fílium suum, donec amovéret eum a lacte.
24 Et addúxit eum secum, postquam ablactáverat, in vítulis tribus, et tribus módiis farínæ, et ámphora vini, et addúxit eum ad domum Dómini in Silo. Puer autem erat adhuc infántulus:
25 et immolavérunt vítulum, et obtulérunt púerum Heli.
26 Et ait Anna: Obsecro mi dómine, vivit ánima tua, dómine: ego sum illa múlier, quæ steti coram te hic orans Dóminum.
27 Pro púero isto orávi, et dedit mihi Dóminus petitiónem meam quam postulávi eum.
28 Idcírco et ego commodávi eum Dómino cunctis diébus quibus fúerit commodátus Dómino. Et adoravérunt ibi Dóminum.

23 And her husband Elkanah said to her: 'Do what seems good to you, and stay until you wean him. And I pray that the Lord may fulfill his word.' Therefore, the woman remained at home, and she breastfed her son, until she withdrew him from milk.
24 And after she had weaned him, she brought him with her, along with three calves, and three measures of flour, and a small bottle of wine, and she led him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. But the boy was still a young child.
25 And they immolated a calf, and they presented the boy to Eli.
26 And Hannah said: 'I beg you, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before you here, praying to the Lord.
27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of him.
28 Because of this, I have also lent him to the Lord, for all the days when he shall be lent to the Lord.' And they adored the Lord in that place.

℟ Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et pósui te páscere gregem pópuli mei:

℟ I took you from your father's house, says the Lord, and I set you to shepherd the flock of my people:

Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.

And I was with you in all things, wherever you walked, establishing your kingdom for ever.

℣ Fecíque tibi nomen grande, iuxta nomen magnórum, qui sunt in terra: et réquiem dedi tibi ab ómnibus inimícis tuis.

℣ And I made you a great name, after the name of the great ones who are on the earth; and I gave you rest from all your enemies.

℟ Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
