Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos
Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews
Hebr 11:33-39
Hebr 11:33-39
Fratres: Sancti per fidem vicérunt regna, operáti sunt justítiam, adépti sunt repromissiónes, obturavérunt ora leónum, exstinxérunt ímpetum ignis, effugérunt áciem gládii, convaluérunt de infirmitáte, fortes facti sunt in bello, castra vertérunt exterórum: accepérunt mulíeres de resurrectióne mórtuos suos: álii autem disténti sunt, non suscipiéntes redemptiónem, ut meliórem invenírent resurrectiónem: alii vero ludíbria et vérbera expérti, ínsuper et víncula et cárceres: lapidáti sunt, secti sunt, tentáti sunt, in occisióne gládii mórtui sunt: circuiérunt in melótis, in péllibus caprínis, egéntes, angustiáti, afflicti: quibus dignus non erat mundus: in solitudínibus errantes, in móntibus et spelúncis et in cavérnis terræ. Et hi omnes testimónio fídei probáti, invénti sunt in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.
Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners: Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection. And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons. They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth. And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise.
