The voice in the desert (Is 40:3-5)
The Latin:
Vox clamántis in desérto:
Paráte viam Dómini,
rectas fácite in solitúdine sémitas Dei nostri.
Omnis vallis exaltábitur,
et omnis mons et collis humiliábitur,
et erunt prava in dirécta,
et áspera in vias planas :
et revelábitur glória Dómini,
et vidébit omnis caro páriter
quod os Dómini locútum est.
The English:
The voice of one crying in the desert:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.
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.
[This would have been more useful about five days ago, but I reached Isaias 40 today.]
