Latin Text Selections

The Latin:

Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,
non horrúisti Virginis úterum.
Tu, devícto mortis acúleo,
aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.

The English:

Thou, in undertaking the freeing of man,
Didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
Thou, having overcome the sting of death,
Didst open to believers the kingdom of heaven.

The Latin:

Mórtuus est ergo Eliséus, et sepeliérunt eum. Latrúnculi autem de Moab uenérunt in terram in ipso anno. Quidam autem sepeliéntes hóminem, uidérunt latrúnculos, et proiecérunt cadáuer in sepúlchro Eliséi. Quod cum tetigísset ossa Eliséi, reuíxit homo, et stetit super pedes suos.

The English:

And Eliseus died, and they buried him. And the rovers from Moab came into the land the same year. And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life, and stood upon his feet.
