- Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea,
- ululate, pastores, in cinere et cilicio
- quia veniet dies Domini magna et amara valde.
- Versus: Accingite vos, sacerdotes, et plangite, ministri altaris,
- aspergite vos cinere.
- [Repetenda 1: Quia veniet; Repetenda 2: Plange quasi virgo]
German translation
- Klage wie eine Jungfrau, mein Volk,
- heult, ihr Hirten, in Asche und im härenen Gewand,
- denn es wird kommen der Tag des Herrn, der große und sehr bittere Tag.
- Vers: Gürtet euch, ihr Priester, und klagt, ihr Diener des Altars,
- bestreut euch mit Asche.
