Original text and translations

Latin text

Is 66:10-11 Lætare, Jerusalem:
et conventum facite, omnes qui diligitis eam:
gaudete cum laetitia, qui in tristitia fuistis:
ut exsultetis, et satiemini
ab uberibus consolationis vestrae.
Ps 121:1 Lætatus sum in his,
quæ dicta sunt mihi:in domum Domini ibimus.
Doxologia Minor Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

English translation

Isa 66:10-11 Rejoice, O Jerusalem,
and come together, all you who love her:
rejoice with joy, you who have been in sorrow:
that you may exult, and be filled
from the breasts of your consolation.
Ps 121:1 I rejoiced because they said to me,
We will go up to the house of the Lord.
Lesser Doxology Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hungarian translation

Iz. 66:10-11 Örvendj, Jeruzsálem!
Jöjjetek össze mindnyájan, kik őt szeretitek.
Örüljetek vele örömmel, kik rajta bánkódtok:
ujjongjatok és vigasztalástok
forrásából töltekezzetek.
Zs. 121:1 Örvendeztem, mikor azt mondották nekem:
az Úr házába megyünk.
Kis doxológia Dicsőség az Atyának, és a Fiúnak, és Szentlélek Istennek;
Miképpen kezdetben vala most és mindörökkön-örökké. Ámen.
