Translations

Dies Irae Day of Wrath
Dies Irae! Dies Illa! Day of wrath! O Day of mourning!
Solvet Saeclum in favilla: See fulfilled the prophets’ warning.
Teste David cum Sibylla! Heaven and Earth in ashes burning.
Quantus tremor est futurus, Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth,
Quando judex est venturus, When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
Cuncta stricte discussurus! On whose sentence all dependeth.

Locus Iste This Place
Locus iste a Deo factus est, This place was made by God,
inaestimabile sacramentum, a priceless sacrament;
irreprehensibilis est. it is without reproach.

Jubilate Deo Make a Joyful Noise
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
servite Domino in laetitia. Serve the Lord with gladness.
Introite in conspectus ejus Come before his presence
in exultatione. with singing.
Quoniam suavis est Dominus: For the Lord is good:
in aeternum Misericordia ejus, His mercy is everlasting;
et usque in generationem veritas ejus. And his truth endureth to all generations.

Akekho Ofana No Jesu There Is No One Like Jesus
Akekho Ofana no Jesu There is no one like Jesus
Akekho Ofana naye We search – there is no one
Siyahamba Akekho We turn – there is no one
Siyafuna Akekho We walk – there is no one
Siyajika Akekho
