Original text and translations
Latin text
Ecce quomodo moritur justus
et nemo percipit corde.
Viri justi tolluntur
et nemo considerat.
A facie iniquitatis
sublatus est justus
et erit in pace memoria eius:
in pace factus est locus ejus
et in Sion habitatio ejus
et erit in pace memoria ejus.
English translation
Behold how the righteous man dies
And no one understands.
Righteous men are taken away
And no one considers:
The righteous man has been taken away from present iniquity
And his memory shall be in peace.
In peace is his place
And in Sion is his homestead.
And his memory shall be in peace.
Dutch translation
(naar Jesaja 57: 1-2)
Zie hoe de rechtvaardige sterft,
en niemand neemt het ter harte.
De rechtvaardigen worden weggerukt,
en niemand slaat er achtop.
Vanwege de boosheid
wordt de rechtvaardige weggerukt.
En in vrede zal zijn nagedachtenis zijn.
In vrede is zijn rustplaats,
en in Sion is zijn verblijf.
