Non mortui

Language: Latin

Our translations: GER

Non mortui qui sunt in inferno, 
quorum spiritus acceptus est 
a visceribus suis, dabunt honorem 
et iustificationem Domino, 
sed anima quae tristis est 
super magnitudinem mali 
et incedit curva et infirma 
dat tibi gloriam et iustitiam Domino.

Nicht die Toten in der Unterwelt

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Nicht die Toten in der Unterwelt,
deren Odem dem Leib entwichen ist,
preisen des Herren Ehre und Gerechtigkeit.
Es ist vielmehr die Seele, die trauert 
über die Macht des Bösen
und gebeugt und kraftlos einhergeht.
Sie erweist dir Ehre und Gerechtigkeit, Herr.
