Prophetiae Sibyllarum Fall 2013

Prolog

Carmɪna Chromatɪco quae audɪs modulata tɛnore,
Haec sʊnt ɪlla quibʊs nɔstrae olim arcana salutɪs
Bɪs senae ɪntrepɪdo cecɪnɛrunt ore Sɪbyllae.

I. Sibylla Persica

Latin text Vɪrgɪne matre satus pando rɛsɪdebɪt asɛllo Jucʊndʊs prɪncɛps unʊs qui fɛrre salutem Rite queat lapsɪs tamɛn ɪllɪs fɔrte diebʊs Mʊlti mʊlta ferɛnt ɪmmɛnsi fata laborɪs Solo sɛd satɪs est oracula prodɛre vɛrbo ɪlle deus casta nascetʊr vɪrgɪne magnʊs.

English translation Born of a virgin mother, he will sit upon a crook-backed ass. The prince of joy who alone in time to come can bring true salvation. Many will be the prophets of his suffering, many the prophecies. Sufficient though, to sum up the prophecies in a single line: He, the lord god, will be born of a pure virgin.

II. Sibylla Libyca

Latin text ɛcce diɛs veniɛnt quo aetɛrnʊs tɛmpore prɪncɛps ɪrradians sata laeta viris sua crimina tollɛt Lumine clarescɛt cuius synagoga recɛnti Sɔrdɪda qui solʊs reserabɪt labra reorʊm Aequʊs erɪt cʊnctɪs gremio rɛx mɛmbra rɛclinɛt Reginae mʊndi sanctʊs pɛr saecʊla vivʊs.

English translation Behold, the days will come when the eternal prince, radiant in light, will dismiss the charges that men have joyfully laid against him. His congregation recently so tainted, will shine in his light. He alone will give the accused the right of speech and be fair to all men. The king will rest his limbs in the lap of the queen of heaven, holy in eternal life.

III. Sibylla Delphica

Latin text

Nɔn tarde veniet tacita sɛd mɛnte tenɛndʊm
Hɔc opʊs, hɔc memɔri sɛmpɛr, qui cɔrde reponɛt,
Huiʊs pɛrtɛndant cɔr gaudia magna prophetae
Eximia, qui vɪrgɪnea cɔnceptʊs ab alvo
Prodibɪt, sine cɔntactu marɪs ɔmnia vɪncɪt
Hɔc naturae opera, at fecɪt, qui cʊncta gubɛrnat.

IV. Sibylla Cimmeria

Latin text

In teneris annis facie insignis honore
Militiae aeternae regem sacra virgo cibavit
Lacte suo, per quem gaudebʊnt pectore summo Omnia,
Et Eoo lucebit sydʊs ab ore Mirificʊm.
Sua dona magi cum laude ferentes
Objicient puero myrrham, aurʊm, thura sabaea.

V. Sibylla Samia

Latin text

ɛcce diɛs, nigras quae tɔllɛt laeta tɛnebras,
Mɔx veniɛt sɔlvɛns nodosa vɔlumɪna vatʊm Gɛntɪs Jʊdaeae.
Rɛferɛnt ʊt carmɪna plebɪs
Hʊnc potɛrʊnt clarʊm virorʊm tangere regɛm,
Humano quɛm vɪrgo sinu ɪnviolata fɔvebɪt.
Annuɪt hɔc coelʊm, rutɪlantɪa sidɛra mɔnstrant.

VI. Sibylla Cumana

Latin text

Iam mea cɛrta manɛnt et vera novɪssɪma vɛrba,
ʊltɪma vɛnturi quɔd erant oracʊla regɪs
Qui toti veniɛns mʊndo cʊm pace placebɪt
ʊt volʊɪt, nostra vɛstitʊs carne dɛcɛntɛr
ɪn cʊnctɪs humɪlɪs castam pro matre puɛllam
Delɪgɛt, haec alɪas fɔrma praecɛsserɪt ɔmnɛs.

 English translation

VII. Sibylla Hellespontica

Latin text

Dum meditor quondam vidi decorare puellam
Eximio castam, quod se servaret honore.
Munera digna suo, et divino numine visa
Quae sobolem multo pareret splendore micantem:
Progenies summi speciosa et vera tonantis,
Pacifica mundum qui sub ditione gubernet.

VIII. Sibylla Phrygia

Latin text

Ipsa Deum vidi summum punire volentem
Mundi homines stupidos et pectora caeca rebellis,
Et quia sic nostram complerent crimina pellem.
Virginis in corpus voluit demittere coelo
Ipse Deus prolem, quam nuntiat angelus alma Matri
Quo miseros contracta sorde lavaret.

IX. Sibylla Europaea

Latin text

Virginis aeternum veniet de corpore verbum purum.
Qui valles et montes transiet altos,
Ille volens etiam stellato missus olympo
Edetur mundo pauper, qui cuncta silenti rex erit imperio.
Sic credo et mente fatebor:
Humano simul ac divino semine natus.

X. Sibylla Tiburtina

Latin text

Verax ipse Deus dedit haec mihi munia fandi
Carmine, quod sanctam potui monstrare puellam.
Concipiet, quae Nazareis in finibus illum,
Quem sub carne Deum Bethlemitica rura videbunt.
O nimium felix coelo dignissima mater,
Quae tantam sacro lactabit ab ubere prolem.

XI. Sibylla Erythraea

Latin text

Cerno Dei natum, qui se dimisit ab alto.
Ultima felices referent cum tempora soles.
Hebraea, quem virgo fere de stirpe decora,
In terris multum teneris passurus ab annis.
Magnus erit tamen hic divino carmine vates
Virgine matre satus, prudenti pectore verax.

XII. Sibylla Agrippa

Latin text

Summus erit sub carne satus clarissimus atque Virginis
Et vere complevit viscera sanctum
Verbum consilio sine noxa spiritus almi,
Despectus multis tamen ille salutis amore
Arguet et nostra commissa piacula culpa,
Cuius honos constans et gloria certa manebit.
