General Information

Eighth of the nine responsories for Matins of Maunday Thursday.

A responsory is a sung response to a Scripture reading. It has two parts: a respond and a versicle. After the versicle (indicated below by V. and usually sung by a single voice or a smaller group), the second part of the respond (indicated below by a bullet) is repeated.

Original text

Latin:

Una hora non potuistis vigilare mecum, qui exhortabamini mori pro me?

  • Vel Judam non videtis quomodo non dormit, sed festinat tradere me Judaeis?

V. Quid dormitis? Surgite et orate, ne intretis in tentationem.

  • Vel Judam non videtis quomodo non dormit, sed festinat tradere me Judaeis?

Translations

File:Flag-eng.png English translation:

What, could you not watch one hour with me, you that were eager to die for me?

  • Or do you not see Judas, how he sleeps not, but makes haste to betray me to the Jews?

V. Why do you sleep? Arise and pray, lest ye fall into temptation.

  • Or do you not see Judas, how he sleeps not, but makes haste to betray me to the Jews?
