Judas non dormit! The eighth responsory of Maundy Thursday Matins (EF)



Responsorium:
Una hora non potuistis vigilare mecum,
qui exhortabamini mori pro me?
Vel Judam non videtis quomodo non dormit,
sed festinat tradere me Judaeis?

Versus:
Quid dormitis? Surgite et orate,
ne intretis in tentationem.
Vel Judam non videtis quomodo non dormit,
sed festinat tradere me Judaeis?

¿No habéis podido vigilar conmigo una hora,
vosotros que decíais que moriríais por mí?

sino que se apresuraba a entregarme a los judíos?

¿Por qué dormís? Levantáos y orad,
para que no caigáis en tentación.
¿No habéis visto que Judas no dormía,
sino que se apresuraba a entregarme a los judíos?
