Hyemis tempore, id est, a Kalendis Novembris usque ad Pascha, juxta considerationem rationis, octava hora noctis surgendum est, ut modice amplius de media nocte pausetur, et jam digesti surgant. winter|time|that|is|from|the Kalends|of November|until|to|Easter|according to|consideration|reason|eighth|hour|of night|to be risen|is|that|moderately|more|from|midnight|night|it is paused|and|already|having digested|they rise In winter time, that is, from the Kalends of November until Easter, according to the consideration of reason, one should rise at the eighth hour of the night, so that there may be a slight pause beyond midnight, and those who have already digested may rise. Quod vero restat post Vigilias, a fratribus qui Psalterii vel lectionum aliquid indigent, meditationi inserviatur. that|indeed|remains|after|the Vigils|by|the brothers|who|of the Psalter|or|of readings|something|they need|to meditation|let it be devoted What remains after the Vigils, let it be devoted to meditation by the brothers who need something from the Psalter or readings. A Pascha autem usque ad supradictas Kalendas Novembris, sic temperetur hora Vigiliarum agenda, ut parvissimo intervallo, quo fratres ad necessaria naturae exeant, custodito, mox Matutini, qui incipiente luce agendi sunt, subsequantur. from|Easter|however|until|to|aforementioned|Kalends|of November|thus|let it be regulated|hour|of the Vigils|to be done|so that|very small|interval|in which|the brothers|to|necessities|of nature|they go out|let it be kept|soon|the Matins|which|beginning|light|to be done|they are|let them follow From Easter until the aforementioned Kalends of November, let the time for the Vigils be arranged in such a way that, with a very brief interval for the brothers to attend to the necessities of nature, the Matins, which are to be performed at the break of dawn, follow immediately.

Hyemis tempore, praemisso in primis versu: “Deus in adjutorium meum intende, Domine ad adjuvandum me festina.” In secundo ter dicendum est: “Domine labia mea aperies, et os meum annunciabit laudem tuam;” cui subjungendus est tertius Psalmus, et “Gloria.” Post hunc, Psalmus nonagesimus quartus cum Antiphona, aut certe decantandus. of winter|time|having been sent ahead|in|first|verse|God|to|help|my|incline|Lord|to|helping|me|hasten|in|second|three|to be said|it is|Lord|lips|my|you will open|and|mouth|my|it will announce|praise|your|to which|to be added|it is|third|Psalm|and|Glory|after|this|Psalm|ninetieth|fourth|with|Antiphon|or|certainly|to be sung In the winter season, after the first verse is said: "O God, make haste to help me; O Lord, make haste to assist me."

After this, the ninety-fourth Psalm with the Antiphon, or certainly to be sung. Inde sequatur Ambrosianum. Then follows the Ambrosian. Deinde sex psalmi cum Antiphonis. Then six psalms with Antiphons. Quibus dictis, dicto versu, benedicat Abbas, et sedentibus omnibus in scamnis, legantur vicissim a fratribus in codice super analogium tres Lectiones, inter quas tria Responsoria canantur. After these are said, with the verse said, the Abbot should bless, and while all are seated on the benches, three Lessons should be read in turn by the brothers from the book over the altar, among which three Responsories are sung. Duo Responsoria sine “Gloria” dicantur. two|responses|without|Glory|let them be said Two Responsories are to be sung without 'Glory.' Post tertiam vero Lectionem qui cantat, dicat “Gloria;” quam, dum incipit Cantor dicere, mox omnes de sedilibus surgant ob honorem et reverentiam sanctissimae Trinitatis. after|third|indeed|reading|he who|sings|let him say|Glory|which|while|he begins|cantor|to say|soon|all|from|seats|let them rise|for|honor|and|reverence|most holy|Trinity After the third Reading, the one who sings should say 'Glory;' and when the Cantor begins to sing, all should rise from their seats in honor and reverence of the most holy Trinity.

Post hos Lectio Apostoli sequatur, ex corde recitanda, et Versus, et supplicatio Litaniae, id est, “Kyrie eleison.” Et sic finiantur Vigiliae nocturnae. after|these|reading|of the Apostles|let it follow|from|heart|to be recited|and|verses|and|supplication|of the Litany|that|is|Lord|have mercy|and|thus|let them be finished|vigils|night After this, the Reading of the Apostle should follow, to be recited from the heart, and the Verse, and the supplication of the Litany, that is, 'Kyrie eleison.'

Post quas Lectiones sequantur ex ordine alii sex Psalmi cum Antiphonis, sicut anteriores, et Versus. after|those|readings|they should follow|in|order|other|six|psalms|with|antiphons|as|previous|and|verses After these Lessons, six other Psalms with Antiphons should follow in order, as the previous ones, and a Verse.

Et ita per singulos dies ad Primam, usque ad Dominicam dicantur per ordinem terni Psalmi, usque ad nonumdecimum Psalmum; ita sane, ut nonus Psalmus et septimus decimus partiantur in binas “Gloria.” Et sic fiat, at ad Vigilias Dominica semper a vigesimo incipiatur. and|thus|through|each|days|to|Prime|until|to|Sunday|they are said|through|order|three|Psalms|until|to|nineteenth|Psalm|thus|certainly|that|ninth|Psalm|and|seventh|tenth|they are divided|into|two|Glory|and|thus|let it be done|but|to|Vigils|Sunday|always|from|twentieth|let it be begun And thus, every day at Prime, three Psalms should be recited in order up to the nineteenth Psalm; indeed, the ninth Psalm and the seventeenth should be divided into two "Glorias." And so it should be done, but for the Sunday Vigil, it should always begin from the twentieth.

Ad Tertiam vero, et Sextam, et Nonam secundae feriae novem capitula, quae residua sunt de centesimo decimo octavo Psalmo, ipsa terna capitula per easdem Horas dicantur. to|Terce|indeed|and|Sext|and|None|second|weekday|nine|chapters|which|remaining|they are|from|hundredth|tenth|eighth|Psalm|they themselves|threefold|chapters|through|the same|Hours|they are said For Terce, Sext, and None on the second weekday, nine chapters, which remain from the one hundred eighteenth Psalm, should be recited in three chapters during those Hours. Expenso igitur Psalmo centesimo octavo decimo duobus diebus, id est, Dominica et secunda feria, tertia feria jam ad Tertiam, Sextam, vel Nonam psallantur terni Psalmi, a centesimo nono decimo usque ad centesimum vigesimum septimum, id est, Psalmi novem. having recited|therefore|Psalm|hundredth|eighth|tenth|two|days|that|it is|Sunday|and|second|weekday|third|weekday|already|to|Terce|Sext|or|None|they are sung|three|Psalms|from|hundredth|ninth|tenth|until|to|hundredth|twentieth|seventh|that|it is|Psalms|nine Therefore, after the one hundred eighteenth Psalm has been completed over two days, that is, Sunday and the second weekday, on the third weekday, three Psalms should be sung at Terce, Sext, or None, from the one hundred nineteenth to the one hundred twenty-seventh, that is, nine Psalms. Quique Psalmi semper usque ad Dominicam per easdem Horas itidem repetantur : Hymnorum nihilominus, Lectionum vel Versuum dispositione uniformi cunctis diebus servata, et ita scilicet, ut semper Dominica a centesimo octavo decimo incipiatur. and each|Psalms|always|until|to|Sunday|through|the same|Hours|likewise|they are repeated|of hymns|nevertheless|of readings|or|of verses|arrangement|uniform|all|days|having been kept|and|thus|namely|that|always|Sunday|from|hundredth|eighth|tenth|let it be begun And the same Psalms should always be repeated up to Sunday during those same Hours: likewise, the arrangement of Hymns, Readings, or Verses should be uniformly maintained on all days, and thus, it should always begin on Sunday from the one hundred eighteenth.

Vespera autem quotidie quatuor Psalmorum modulatione canatur. evening|however|daily|four|of Psalms|with the melody|let it be sung In the evening, however, four Psalms should be sung. Qui Psalmi incipiantur a centesimo nono usque ad centesimum quadragesimum septimum: exceptis iis, qui in diversis Horis ex eis sequestrantur, id est, a centesimo decimo septimo, usque ad centesimum vigesimum septimum, et centesimo trigesimo tertio, et centesimo quadragesimo secundo. which|Psalms|let them begin|from|hundredth|ninth|until|to|hundredth|fortieth|seventh|excepting|those|which|in|different|Hours|from|them|they are set aside|that|it is||hundredth|tenth|seventh|until|to|hundredth|twentieth|seventh|and|hundredth|thirtieth|third|and|hundredth|fortieth|second These Psalms should begin from the one hundred ninth to the one hundred forty-seventh: except for those that are set apart at different Hours, namely, from the one hundred seventeenth to the one hundred twenty-seventh, and the one hundred thirty-third, and the one hundred forty-second. Reliqui omnes in Vespera dicendi sunt. the remaining|all|in|evening|to be said|they are All the others should be said in the evening. Et quia minus veniunt tres Psalmi, ideo dividendi sunt, qui in numero suprascripto fortiores inveniuntur: id est, centesimus trigesimus octavus, et centesimus quadragesimus tertius, et centesimus quadragesimus quartus. and|because|less|they come|three|Psalms|therefore|to be divided|they are|which|in|number|above written|stronger|they are found|that|it is|hundredth|thirtieth|eighth|and|hundredth|fortieth|third|and|hundredth|fortieth|fourth And because three Psalms come less frequently, they should therefore be divided, which are found to be stronger in the aforementioned number: namely, the one hundred thirty-eighth, and the one hundred forty-third, and the one hundred forty-fourth. Centesimus vero sextus decimus, quia parvus est, cum centesimo quinto decimo conjungatur. hundredth|indeed|sixth|tenth|because|small|is|when|hundredth|fifth|tenth|it is joined The sixteenth century, because it is small, is to be joined with the one hundred and fifteenth. Digesto ergo ordine Psalmorum Vespertinorum, reliqua, id est, Lectiones, Responsoria, Hymni, Versus, vel Cantica, sicut supra taxavimus, impleantur. having been arranged|therefore|order|of the Psalms|of the Vespers|the rest|that|is|readings|responses|hymns|verses|or|songs|as|above|we have specified|they should be fulfilled Therefore, in the arranged order of the Evening Psalms, the remaining parts, that is, the Readings, Responsories, Hymns, Verses, or Canticles, should be fulfilled as we have previously specified. Ad Completorium vero quotidie iidem Psalmi repetantur ; id est quartus, nonagesimus, et centesimus trigesimus tertius. to|Compline|indeed|daily|the same|Psalms|they should be repeated|that|is|fourth|ninetieth|and|hundredth|thirtieth|third At Compline, the same Psalms should be repeated daily; that is, the fourth, the ninetieth, and the one hundred thirty-third.

Disposito ordine Psalmodiae diurnae, reliqui omnes Psalmi, qui supersunt, aequaliter dividantur in septem noctium Vigilias, partiendo scilicet qui inter eos prolixiores sunt Psalmi, et duodecim per unamquamque constituantur noctem. having been arranged|order|of the psalmody|daytime|the remaining|all|Psalms|which|remain|equally|they should be divided|into|seven|of the nights|Vigils|by dividing|namely|those|among|them|longer|are|Psalms|and|twelve|for|each|they should be established|night In the arranged order of the daily Psalms, all the remaining Psalms that are left should be equally divided into the seven night Vigils, specifically dividing those Psalms that are longer among them, and twelve should be established for each night. Hoc praecipue commonentes, ut si cui forte haec distributio Psalmorum displicuerit, ordinet, si melius aliter judicaverit, dum omnimodis id attendatur, ut omni hebdomada Psalterium ex integro numero centum quinquaginta Psalmorum psallatur, et Dominico die semper a capite repetatur ad Vigilias : quia nimis iners devotionis suae servitium ostendunt Monachi, qui minus Psalterio, cum Canticis consuetudinariis, per septimanae circulum psallunt; cum legamus, sanctos Patres nostros uno die hoc strenue implevisse, quod nos tepidi utinam septimana integra persolvamus. this|especially|reminding|that|if|to whom|by chance|this|distribution|of the Psalms|it displeased|he/she/it arranges|if|better|otherwise|he/she/it judges|while|in every way|that|it is attended to|that|every|week|Psalter|from|entire|number|hundred|fifty|of Psalms|it is sung|and|Sunday|day|always|from|head|it is repeated|for|Vigils|because|too|lazy|of devotion|his own|service|they show|monks|who|less|with the Psalter|with|hymns|customary|through|week|cycle|they sing|when|we read|holy|Fathers|our|one|day|this|diligently|to have fulfilled|that|we|lukewarm|would that|week|entire|we pay In particular, we remind that if anyone happens to dislike this distribution of the Psalms, they should arrange it differently if they judge it better, provided that it is always attended to that the entire Psalter of one hundred fifty Psalms is sung every week, and on Sundays it is always repeated from the beginning for the Vigil: because the Monks show too much laziness in their service of devotion, who sing less from the Psalter, along with the customary hymns, throughout the week; when we read that our holy Fathers vigorously fulfilled this in one day, may we, who are lukewarm, at least complete it throughout the entire week.
