Consolamini, consolamini, popule meus, dicit Deus vester.

Be comforted, be comforted, my people, saith your God.

Consola, consola, popule meo, Deo vestro dic.

Loquimini ad cor Jerusalem, et advocate eam, quoniam completa est malitia ejus, dimissa est iniquitas illius: suscepit de manu Domini duplicia pro omnibus peccatis suis.

Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is forgiven: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.

Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini, rectas facite in solitudine semitas Dei nostri.

Omnis vallis exaltabitur, et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur, et erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas:

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain.

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.

Et gloria de Domino revela, et omni carne vide pariter quod ore de Domino loque es.

Vox dicentis: Clama. Et dixi: Quid clamabo? Omnis caro fœnum, et omnis gloria ejus quasi flos agri.

The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the field.

Voce dic: clama. Et dic: quid clama? Omni carne foeno, et omni gloria de illo quasi flore de agro.

Exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos, quia spiritus Domini sufflavit in eo. Vere fœnum est populus:

The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:

Exsicca es foeno, et flore cade, quia spiritu de Domino suffla in eo. Vere foeno es populo:

exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos; verbum autem Domini nostri manet in æternum.

The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word of our Lord endureth for ever.

Sicut pastor gregem suum pascet, in brachio suo congregabit agnos, et in sinu suo levabit; fœtas ipse portabit.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather together the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up in his bosom, and he himself shall carry them that are with young.
