I've previously posted here some of the canticles used in the third Nocturn of Matins in the Benedictine Office, laid out as used in the liturgy, for reference purposes.
I thought I'd try and complete that series, so herewith Wisdom 3:1-6, which is used in the Common of Several Martyrs, as well as for certain feasts such as All Saints.

Canticum Sapientiae (3:1 – 6)
Iustórum
autem ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, *et non tanget illos torméntum mortis.
|
But
the souls of the just are in the hand of God, * and the torment of death
shall not touch them.
|
Visi
sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: * et æstimáta est afflíctio éxitus illórum:
|
In
the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: * and their departure was taken
for misery:
|
Et
quod a nobis est iter, extermínium: illi autem sunt in pace.
|
And
their going away from us, for utter destruction: * but they are in peace.
|
Et
si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, * spes illórum immortalitáte plena
est.
|
And
though in the sight of men they suffered torments, * their hope is full of
immortality.
|
In
paucis vexáti sunt, in multis bene disponóntur, * quóniam Deus tentávit eos,
et invénit illos dignos se.
|
Afflicted
in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: * because God hath tried
them, and found them worthy of himself.
|
Tamquam
aurum in fornáce probávit illos, † et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos,
* et in témpore erit respéctus illórum.
|
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.
|
Glória
Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
|
Glory
be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
|
Sicut
erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
|
As
it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
