Ô mes très chers frères et mes enfants

Language: French (Français) after the Italian - Medieval (Volgare)

Our translations: FIN

Ô mes très chers frères et mes enfants 
bénis pour toute l'éternité, 
écoutez moi, écoutez la voix de votre père:
Nous avons promis de grandes choses, 
on nous en a promis de plus grandes; 
Gardons les unes et soupirons après les autres;
Le plaisir est court, la peine éternelle. 
La souffrance est légère, la gloire infinie.
Beaucoup sont appelés, peu sont élus. 
Tous recevront ce qu'ils auront mérité. 
Ainsi soit-il.

Rakkaat veljeni, sisareni ja lapseni

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the French (Français)

Rakkaat veljeni, sisareni ja lapseni,
siunatut iankaikkisesta iankaikkiseen,
kuunnelkaa minua, kuunnelkaa isänne ääntä:
Me olemme luvanneet suuria asioita,
meille on luvattu vielä suurempia;
pitäkäämme kiinni edellisistä, toivokaamme jälkimmäisiä.
Maallinen nautinto ei kauan kestä, piina on ikuinen.
Kärsimys täällä on keskettävissä, kunnia ylhäällä loputon.
Monet ovat kutsutut, mutta vain harvat valitut.
Kaikki saavat aikanaan ansionsa mukaan.
Tapahtukoon niin.
