Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: 
sustinete hic, et vigilate mecum:

Vos fugam capietis, et ego vadam immolari pro vobis.

Ecce appropinquat hora, et Filius hominis 
tradetur in manus peccatorum.

Meine Seele ist traurig bis zum Tode

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Meine Seele ist traurig bis zum Tode:
Haltet hier stand und wacht mit mir:
Nun werdet ihr eine Menge sehen, die mich umgibt.
Ihr werdet die Flucht ergreifen, und ich werde gehen, mich für euch zu opfern.

Die Stunde rückt heran, und der Menschensohn
wird in die Hände der Sünder ausgeliefert werden.
