Text and translation
[Lamentationes Hieremiæ Prophetæ, in feria sexta Parasceve]: Antoine Brumel (c.1460-c.1512)
I. Heth. Cogitavit Dominus
Heth. Cogitavit Dominus dissipare murum filiæ Sion; tetendit funiculum suum, et non avertit manum suam a perditione: luxitque ante murale, et murus pariter dissipatus est.
The Lord thought to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: He stretched out a line, He did not withdraw His hand from destruction: therefore, He made the rampart lament; and the wall was equally destroyed.
Teth. Defixæ sunt in terra portæ eius, perdidit et contrivit vectes eius; regem eius et principes eius in gentibus: non est lex, et prophetæ eius non invenerunt visionem a Domino.
Her gates are sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bolts: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; and her prophets find no vision from the Lord.
Ierusalem convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.
Jerusalem, return to the Lord your God.
