Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Tenebræ factæ sunt, O bone Iesu,
dum te crucifixissent Iudei
et circa horam nonam exclamasti voce magna:
Deus, Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
Et inclinato capite emisisti spiritum.
Cum ergo accepisses acetum dixisti: consumatum est.

English.png English translation

Darkness fell, gentle Jesus,
when the Jews crucified you
and about the ninth hour you cried with a loud voice:
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
And you bowed your head, and the spirit departed from you.
When, therefore, you had received the vinegar, you said: it is finished.
