Текст и перевод песни Tomás Luis de Victoria - Eram quasi agnus

Eram quasi agnus

Eram quasi agnus innocens:
Ductus sum ad immolandum, et nesciebam:
Consilium fecerunt inimici mei adversum me, dicentes:
Venite, mittamus lignum in panem eius
Et eradamus eum de terra viventium.
Omnes inimici mei adversum me cogitabant mala mihi:
Verbum iniquum mandaverunt adversum me, dicentes:
Venite, mittamus lignum in panem eius
Et eradamus eum de terra viventium.
(Jer. 11, 19)

Like an innocent lamb

Like an innocent lamb:
Led to the slaughter, and I knew not:
My enemies plotted against me, saying:
Come, let us put poison in his food,
And wipe him from the face of the earth.
All my enemies thought evil against me:
They uttered wicked words against me, saying:
Come, let us put poison in his food,
And wipe him from the face of the earth.
(Jer. 11, 19)
