Nun laßt uns den Leib begraben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Nun laßt uns den Leib begraben,
Bei dem wir kein'n Zweifel haben,
Er werd am letzten Tag aufstehn,
Und unverrücklich herfürgehn.

Erd ist er und von der Erden
Wird auch [zu Erd wieder]1 werden,
Und von Erden wieder aufstehn,
Wenn Gottes Posaun wird angehn.

Seine Seel lebt ewig in Gott,
Der sie allhier aus seiner Gnad
Von aller Sünd und Missetat
Durch seinen Bund gefeget hat.

Sein Arbeit, Trübsal, und Elend
Ist kommen zu ein'm guten End.
Er hat getragen Christi Joch,
Ist gestorben und lebet noch.

[Die Seele lebt]2 ohn alle Klag,
Der Leib schläft bis am letzten Tag,
An welchem ihn Gott verklären,
Und der Freuden wird gewähren.

Hier ist er in Angst gewesen,
Dort aber wird er genesen,
In ewiger [Freud]3 und Wonne
Leuchten wie die schöne Sonne.

Nun lassen wir ihn hier schlafen
Und gehn allsamt unser Straßen,
Schicken uns auch mit allem Fleiß
Denn der Tod kommt uns gleicher Weis.

Enterrem ara aquest cos
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Enterrem ara aquest cos,
del que no en tenim cap dubte,
que el dia del judici final,
ressuscitarà incorrupte.

Pols és ell, nascut de la pols,
i a la pols tornarà,
i de la pols s’alçarà
quan soni la trompeta de Déu.

La seva ànima viurà per sempre en Déu,
el qui, amb la seva mercè,
de tots els pecats i culpes,
amb la seva intercessió l’ha alliberat.

Els seus afanys, tribulacions i misèries
han arribat a bon fi.
Ha portat el jou de Crist,
s’ha mort i viu encara.

L’ànima viu sense planys,
el cos dorm fins al darrer dia
en el que Déu el transfigurarà
i li concedirà la benaurança.

Aquí, ell va conèixer la por,
però allà es restablirà,
en la joia i el goig eterns,
resplendirà formós com el sol.

Deixem ara que dormi aquí
i reprenem tots el nostre camí,
fem via amb tota diligència,
car la mort igualment ens arribarà.
