| LAVDA SION SALVATOREM |
The 24 verses of Lauda Sion are presented below with a verse translation in English, a French translation, my literal translation in English and my annotations.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lauda, Sion,[1] Salvatórem,
lauda ducem[2] et pastórem[3]
in hymnis[4] et cánticis.[5]
Sion, lift up thy voice and sing:
Praise thy Saviour and thy King,
Praise with hymns thy shepherd true.
Loue, Sion, ton Sauveur, loue ton chef et ton pasteur par des hymnes et des cantiques. Praise, O Sion, thy Saviour; praise thy Chief and Pastor in hymns and canticles.
Loue, Sion, ton Sauveur, loue ton chef et ton pasteur par des hymnes et des cantiques. Praise, O Sion, thy Saviour; praise thy Chief and Pastor in hymns and canticles.
[1] Sion, Zion: perhaps from the Hebrew root ''ṣiyyôn ("castle"); cf Arabic ṣiyya ("dry land") or the Arabic šanā ("protect" or "citadel"); or the Arabic root ṣahî ("ascend to the top") or ṣuhhay ("tower" or "the top of the mountain"). Conquered by David; site of Temple; bui;y on a rock and with access to only perennial source of water in Jerusalem (the Gihon spring). A type of the Church, built on a hill, founded on a rock, a fortress, source of the living waters of Baptism.
[12] Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia ejus, [Ps 9]
[2] dux , ducis, c.: a leader, guide, head; chief, captain, commander.
[6] And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.
Et tu Bethlehem terra Juda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Juda : ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.[Matt 2]
[3] pastorem: I include here part of a post on our sister website for 5 May 2020: Pastor noster - panem nostrum quotidianum. This seems particularly appropriate on today's Feast of Corpus Christi.
The entry on pastor in the OED revealed the following:
This cursory examination suggests the following reflections:
The pater (father) is chiefly responsible for feeding his family. Similarly, the pastor (shepherd) is responsible for ensuring his sheep and lambs have pasture (food). Abel offered a lamb in sacrifice to his heavenly Father. The patriarch Joseph pastured his sheep near Bethlehem. David, born in Bethlehem, was a shepherd (pastor) watching his flocks nearby. Lambs were offered as sacrifices in the Temple at Jerusalem. One thousand years later, shepherds (pastores) were watching their flocks by night when an angel of the Lord appeared to them; these pastores went straightaway to Bethlehem, the "House of Bread/Flesh/Food". Tradition has it that they offered lambs as gifts. There they saw the chief Shepherd Himself, laid in a "manger" (where food is offered for animals). The baby was later to be identified by His cousin John as the "Lamb of God"; He would call Himself the pastor bonus (the good shepherd). To provide nourishment for His listeners, He multiplied bread in the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. He, the good shepherd, would offer to feed His flock with Himself (St John, chapter 6). At the Last Supper, He offered the first Mass and gave Himself to His Apostles under the form of bread (panis) as they made their first Holy Communion, partaking of the body, blood, soul and divinity of the Word made flesh.
"Baby" ("bébé" etc) derives perhaps from a man's first utterance after birth - "baaa!" (cf vāgĭo, īvi or ĭi, 4, v. n. of young children, to cry, squall) After all, do not children call lambs "baa lambs" and are not sheep immortalised in nursery rhymes as "Baa baa black sheep"?
What a tightly woven miracle of etymological strands, deserving a lengthier study and showing once again how words all seem to point to the Word: In principio erat Verbum...
