It\u2019s also International Translation Day.<\/p>\n<p>In honor of the day, let\u2019s take a look of three English translations of the Collect (opening prayer) for October 1, the 26<sup>th<\/sup> Sunday in Ordinary Time in the Roman calendar. The three texts below are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the 2008 version approved by the English-speaking bishops and submitted to Rome for approval;<\/li>\n<li>the 2011 version Rome sent back to the bishops as the \u2018corrected\u2019 version for them to implement;<\/li>\n<li>the 1998 version which the English-speaking world worked on since the early 1980s, was approved by the bishops of the English-speaking world, but was thrown out entirely by Rome as the new translation principles and procedures of <em>Liturgiam authenticam<\/em> were issued in 2001.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is 2008, i.e. what the bishops approved:<\/p>\n<p><strong>O God, who make known your omnipotence<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>above all in pardon and mercy,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">increase your grace within us,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and so make those who run towards your promises<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>sharers in the good things of heaven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is 2011, i.e. what Rome sent back and is now in the English missal:<\/p>\n<p><strong>O God, who manifest your almighty power<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>above all by pardoning and showing mercy,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>bestow, we pray, your grace abundantly upon us<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and make those hastening to attain your promises<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>heirs to the treasures of heaven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t usually the case, but here I think 2011 may be an improvement in some respects.<\/p>\n<p>This is from the 1998 <em>Sacramentary:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>God of heaven and earth,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>your almighty power is shown above all<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>in your willingness to forgive and show mercy;<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>let your grace descend upon us without ceasing,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>that we may strive for the things you have promised<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and come to share the treasures of heaven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course it is no criticism of 1998 that it doesn&#8217;t follow the Latin slavishly, for that was not the goal nor the prescriptions of the official Vatican document under which the 1998\u00a0<em>Sacramentary<\/em> was prepared before\u00a0<em>Liturgiam authenticam.<\/em> The goal was a broad and deep faithfulness to the Latin in the development of a text which was suited for liturgical prayer in English.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, here is the Latin:<\/p>\n<p><em>Deus, qui omnipotentiam tuam parcendo <\/em><br \/>\n<em>maxime et miserando manifestas, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>multiplica super nos gratiam tuam, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>ut, ad tua promissa currentes, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>caelestium bonorum facias esse consortes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And for the fun of it, here is the version from the 1662 <em>Book of Common Prayer<\/em> of the Church of England:<\/p>\n<p><strong>O God, who declarest thine almighty power<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">most chiefly in showing mercy and pity;<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">that we, running the way of thy commandments,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>may obtain thy gracious promises,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the 1979 U.S. Book of Common Prayer the contemporary version of this collect is this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>O God, you declare your almighty power<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">chiefly in showing mercy and pity:<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Grant us the fullness of your grace,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>that we, running to obtain your promises,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>may become partakers of your heavenly treasure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 1998 <em>Sacramentary<\/em> also has original English texts connected to the three-year lectionary of Scripture readings. The readings for 26A are about the fairness of God\u2019s judgment when people turn from sin (Ez 18:25-28) and the two sons who do and do not labor in the father\u2019s vineyard (Mt 21:28-32). The Revised Common Lectionary, if you take the optional first reading, are the same except a longer passage is selected for both Ezekiel and Matthew.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the 1998 Opening Prayer for 26A:<\/p>\n<p><strong>O God,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>you alone judge rightly<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and search the depths of the heart.<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Make us swift to do your will<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and slow to judge our neighbor,<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>that we may walk with those<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>who follow the way of repentance and faith<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>and so enter your heavenly kingdom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis recently returned authority largely to bishops\u2019 conferences for translations, although it remains unclear whether the translation guidelines of <em>Liturgiam authenticam<\/em> remain in effect for Rome to give its <em>confirmatio <\/em>at the end of the process.
