Zach 1:1-3

In mense octávo, in anno secúndo Daríi regis, factum est verbum Dómini ad Zacharíam fílium Barachíæ fílii Addo prophétam, dicens: Irátus est Dóminus super patres vestros iracúndia; Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Convertímini ad me, ait Dóminus exercítuum, et convértar ad vos, dicit Dóminus exercítuum.

In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying: The Lord hath been exceeding angry with your fathers. And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Turn ye to me, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will turn to you, saith the Lord of hosts.

℟. Super muros tuos, Jerúsalem, constítui custódes; * Tota die et nocte non tacébunt laudáre nomen Dómini.

℟. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; * Which shall never hold their peace day nor night, to praise the name of the Lord.

℣. Prædicábunt pópulis fortitúdinem meam, et annuntiábunt géntibus glóriam meam.

Lesson II

Zach 1:4-5

Zech 1:4-5

Ne sitis sicut patres vestri, ad quos clamábant prophétæ prióres, dicéntes: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Convertímini de viis vestris malis, et de cogitatiónibus vestris péssimis; et non audiérunt, neque attendérunt ad me, dicit Dóminus. Patres vestri, ubi sunt? et prophétæ numquid in sempitérnum vivent?

Be not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Turn ye from your evil ways, and from your wicked thoughts: but they did not give ear, neither did they hearken to me, saith the Lord. Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, shall they live always?

℟. Muro tuo inexpugnábili circumcínge nos, Dómine, et armis tuæ poténtiæ prótege nos semper: * Líbera, Dómine, Deus Israël, clamántes ad te.

℟. Hedge us about with thy wall that cannot be broken down, O Lord, and shield us continually with the arms of thy might. * O Lord God of Israel, deliver them that cry unto thee.

℣. Erue nos in mirabílibus tuis, et da glóriam nómini tuo.

℣. Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy Name.

℟. Líbera, Dómine, Deus Israël, clamántes ad te.

℟. O Lord God of Israel, deliver them that cry unto thee.

Lectio III

Lesson III

Incipit Malachías Prophéta

Lesson from the book of Malachias

Mal 1:1-4

Onus verbi Dómini ad Israël in manu Malachíæ. Diléxi vos, dicit Dóminus, et dixístis: In quo dilexísti nos? Nonne frater erat Esau Jacob? dicit Dóminus, et diléxi Jacob, Esau autem ódio hábui, et pósui montes ejus in solitúdinem, et hereditátem ejus in dracónes desérti? Quod si díxerit Idumǽa: Destrúcti sumus, sed reverténtes ædificábimus quæ destrúcta sunt: hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Isti ædificábunt, et ego déstruam; et vocabúntur términi impietátis, et pópulus cui irátus est Dóminus usque in ætérnum.

The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of Malachias. I have loved you, saith the Lord: and you have said: Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau brother to Jacob, saith the Lord, and I have loved Jacob, But have hated Esau? and I have made his mountains a wilderness, and given his inheritance to the dragons of the desert. But if Edom shall say: We are destroyed, but we will return and build up what hath been destroyed: thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall build up, and I will throw down: and they shall be called the borders of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is angry for ever.

℟. Sustinúimus pacem, et non venit: quæsívimus bona, et ecce turbátio: cognóvimus, Dómine, peccáta nostra; * Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.

℟. We looked for peace, and it came not we asked for good, and behold trouble. We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness. * Forget us not for ever.

℣. Peccávimus, ímpie géssimus, iniquitátem fécimus, Dómine, in omnem justítiam tuam.

℣. O Lord (our God) we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

℟. Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.

℟. Forget us not for ever.

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

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

℟. Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.

℟. Forget us not for ever.
