| 1 | O quot undis lacrimarum, Quo dolore volvitur, Luctuosa de cruento Dum, revulsum stipite, Cernit ulnis incubantem Virgo Mater filium! |
WHAT a flood of tears and sorrow, What an agony of pain, Overwhelmed the mourning Mother, When her Son, so lately slain, From the blood-stained Cross was lowered To her loving arms again. |
何等淚水憂傷洪流， 何等痛苦與煎熬， 哀慟聖母肝腸寸斷， 因她愛子剛被害， 從染血聖架卸下時， 再回聖母之慈懷。 |
| 2 | Os suave, mite pectus, Et latus dulcissimum, Dexteramque vulneratam, Et sinistram sauciam, Et rubras cruore plantas Ægra tingit lacrimis. |
With her tears she bathed his body, Bruised and stricken, yet most sweet; Underneath his heart the spear-wound; Piercèd hands and crimsoned feet: Then, in deep maternal anguish, Kissed each wound-print, as was meet. |
她以淚水沐浴聖屍， 傷累累至聖之體； 聖心之下長矛創傷， 被刺染血的手足， 至深母愛沈重悲痛， 親吻所有的聖傷。 |
| 3 | Centiesque milliesque Stringit arctis nexibus Pectus illud, et lacertos, Illa figit vulnera: Sicque tota colliquescit In doloris osculis. |
Oft and oft his arms and bosom Fondly straining to her own; Oft her pallid lips imprinting On each wound of her dear Son! Till in one last kiss of anguish All her melting soul is gone. |
一次再次將祂臂膀， 緊緊擁入她懷中； 她蒼白雙唇頻頻地， 親吻愛子的傷痛； 在最後一吻悲慟裡， 她完全傾倒己靈。 |
| 4 | Eja Mater, obsecramus Per tuas has lacrimas, Filiique triste funus, Vulnerumque purpuram, Hunc tui cordis dolorem Conde nostris cordibus. |
By those tears of thine, O Mother, By the death of thy dear Son, By his cruèl wounds empurpled, By thy pain surpassed by none: Move our spirits to compassion Till our grief with thine is one. |
藉著慈母所流淚河， 藉你愛子的死亡， 藉祂紫青殘酷傷痕， 藉你無上的悲痛， 求激我眾憐憫之心， 使我與你同哀傷。 |
| 5 | Esto Patri, Filioque, Et coævo Flamini, Esto summæ Trinitati Sempiterna gloria, Et perennis laus, honorque Hoc, et omni sæculo. |
Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit; Ever three and ever One; Consubstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen. |
讚美榮耀歸於聖父， 讚美榮耀歸聖子， 榮耀讚美也歸聖靈； 永恆的三位一體； 同性同體同享永恆， 萬世萬代永長存。阿們。 |
