Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Sap 3:1-8
Wis 3:1-8
Justorum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. Visi sunt oculis insipiéntium mori: et æstimála est afflíctio exitus illórum: et quod a nobis est iter, extermínium: illi autem sunt in pace. Et si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, spes illórum immortalitáte plena est. In paucis vexáti, in multis bene disponéntur: quóniam Deus tentávit eos, et invenit illos dignos se. Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit illos, et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos, et in témpore erit respéctus illorum. Fulgébunt justi, et tamquam scintíllæ in arundinéto discúrrent. Judicábunt natiónes, et dominabúntur pópulis, et regnábit Dóminus illórum in perpétuum.
v. But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui misit me. Revérsi sunt autem septuagínta duo cum gáudio, dicéntes: Dómine, étiam dæmónia subjiciúntur nobis in nómine tuo. Et ait illis: Vidébam sátanam sicut fulgur de cœlo cadéntem. Ecce, dedi vobis potestátem calcandi supra serpéntes et scorpiónes, et super omnem virtútem inimíci: et nihil vobis nocébit. Verúmtamen in hoc nolíte gaudére, quia spíritus vobis subjiciúntur: gaudéte autem, quod nómina vestra scripta sunt in cœlis.
v. He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me. And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name. And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven. Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you. But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.
