Levit 23:26-32
In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Décimo die mensis hujus séptimi, dies expiatiónum erit celebérrimus, et vocábitur sanctus: affligetísque ánimas vestras in eo, et offerétis holocáustum Dómino. Omne opus servíle non faciétis in témpore diéi hujus: quia dies propitiatiónis est, ut propitiétur vobis Dóminus, Deus vester. Omnis ánima, quæ afflicta non fúerit die hac, períbit de pópulis suis: et quæ óperis quídpiam fécerit, delébo eam de pópulo suo. Nihil ergo óperis faciétis in eo: legítimum sempitérnum erit vobis in cunctis generatiónibus et habitatiónibus vestris. Sábbatum requietiónis est, et affligétis ánimas vestras die nono mensis: a véspera usque ad vésperam celebrábitis sábbata vestra: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.
Deo gratias.
Leviticus 23:26-32 · Douay-Rheims
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement. It shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you. Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people. And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people. You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings. It is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month. From evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.

Leviticus 23:39-43 · Douay-Rheims
So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath: that is a day of rest. And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook: And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God. And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast. And you shall dwell in bowers seven days. Every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles: That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Mich 7:14; 7:16; 7:18-20
Dómine, Deus noster, pasce pópulum tuum in virga tua, gregem hereditátis tuæ, habitántes solos in saltu, juxta dies antiquos. Vidébunt gentes, et confundéntur super omni fortitúdine sua. Quis Deus símilis tui, qui aufers iniquitátem, et transis peccátum reliquiárum hereditátis tuæ ? Non immíttet ultra furórem suum, quóniam volens misericórdiam est. Revertétur, et miserébitur nostri: depónet iniquitátes nostras, et projíciet in profúndum maris ómnia peccáta nostra. Dabis veritátem Jacob, misericórdiam Abraham: quæ jurásti pátribus nostris a diébus antiquis: Dómine, Deus noster.
Deo gratias.
Micheas 7:14; 7:16; 7:18-20 · Douay-Rheims
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad, according to the days of old. The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf. Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

Zach 8:14-19
In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Sicut cogitávi, ut afflígerem vos, cum ad iracúndiam provocássent patres vestri me, dicit Dóminus, et non sum misértus: sic convérsus cogitávi in diébus istis, ut benefáciam domui Juda et Jerúsalem: nolíte timére. Hæc sunt ergo verba, quæ faciétis: Loquímini veritátem, unusquísque cum próximo suo: veritátem et judícium pacis judicáte in portis vestris. Et unusquísque malum contra amícum suum ne cogitétis in córdibus vestris: et juraméntum mendax ne diligátis: ómnia enim hæc sunt, quæ odi, dicit Dóminus. Et factum est verbum Dómini exercítuum ad me, dicens: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Jejúnium quarti et jejúnium quinti et jejúnium séptimi et jejúnium décimi erit dómui Juda in gáudium et lætítiam et in sollemnitátes præcláras: veritátem tantum et pacem dilígite: dicit Dóminus exercítuum.

Zacharias 8:14-19 · Douay-Rheims
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: As I purposed to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord, And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not. These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour; judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord. And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace.

In diébus illis: Angelus Dómini descéndit cum Azaría et sóciis ejus in fornácem: et excússit flammam ignis de fornáce, et fecit médium fornácis quasi ventum roris flantem. Flamma autem effundebátur super fornácem cúbitis quadragínta novem: et erúpit, et incéndit, quos répperit juxta fornácem de Chaldǽis, minístros regis, qui eam incendébant. Et non tétigit eos omníno ignis, neque contristávit, nec quidquam moléstiæ íntulit. Tunc hi tres quasi ex uno ore laudábant, et glorificábant, et benedicébant Deum in fornáce, dicéntes:

And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits: And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace. But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace, And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm. Then these three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying:

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos
Hebr 9:2-12
Fratres: Tabernáculum factum est primum, in quo erant candelábra, et mensa, et proposítio panum, quæ dícitur Sancta. Post velaméntum autem secúndum, tabernáculum, quod dícitur Sancta sanctórum: áureum habens thuríbulum, et arcam testaménti circumtéctam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna áurea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quæ frondúerat, et tábulæ testaménti, supérque eam erant Chérubim glóriæ obumbrántia propitiatórium: de quibus non est modo dicéndum per síngula. His vero ita compósitis; in prióri quidem tabernáculo semper introíbant sacerdótes, sacrificiórum offícia consummántes: in secúndo autem semel in anno solus póntifex, non sine sánguine, quem offert pro sua et pópuli ignorántia: hoc significánte Spíritu Sancto, nondum propalátam esse sanctórum viam, adhuc prióre tabernaculo habénte statum. Quæ parábola est témporis instántis: juxta quam múnera et hóstiæ offerúntur, quæ non possunt juxta consciéntiam perféctum fácere serviéntem, solummodo in cibis, et in pótibus, et váriis baptismátibus, et justítiis carnis usque ad tempus correctiónis impósitis. Christus autem assístens póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non hujus creatiónis; neque per sánguinem hircórum aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.
Hebrews 9:2-12 · Douay-Rheims
For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies: Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament. And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly. Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle, the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices. But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people’s ignorance: The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing. Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks, And divers washings and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction. But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

Luc 13:6-17
In illo témpore: Dicébat Jesus turbis hanc similitúdinem: Arbórem fici habébat quidam plantátam in vínea sua, et venit quærens fructum in illa, et non invénit. Dixit autem ad cultórem víneæ: Ecce, anni tres sunt, ex quo vénio quærens fructum in ficúlnea hac, et non invénio: succíde ergo illam: ut quid étiam terram óccupat? At ille respóndens, dicit illi: Dómine, dimítte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fódiam circa illam et mittam stércora: et si quidem fécerit fructum: sin autem, in futúrum succídes eam. Erat autem docens in synagóga eórum sábbatis. Et ecce múlier, quæ habébat spíritum infirmitátis annis decem et octo: et erat inclináta, nec omníno póterat sursum respícere. Quam cum vidéret Jesus, vocávit eam ad se, et ait illi: Múlier, dimíssa es ab infirmitáte tua. Et impósuit illi manus, et conféstim erécta est, et glorificábat Deum. Respóndens autem archisynagógus, indígnans quia sábbato curásset Jesus, dicébat turbæ: Sex dies sunt, in quibus opórtet operári: in his ergo veníte, et curámini, et non in die sábbati. Respóndens autem ad illum Dóminus, dixit: Hypócritæ, unusquísque vestrum sábbato non solvit bovem suum aut ásinum a præsépio, et ducit adaquáre? Hanc autem fíliam Abrahæ, quam alligávit sátanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non opórtuit solvi a vínculo isto die sábbati? Et cum hæc díceret, erubescébant omnes adversárii ejus: et omnis pópulus gaudébat in univérsis, quæ glorióse fiébant ab eo.
Luke 13:6-17 · Douay-Rheims
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard: and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and I find none. Cut it down therefore. Why cumbereth it the ground? But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it. And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath. And behold there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bowed together: neither could she look upwards at all. Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity. And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come and be healed: and not on the sabbath day. And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger and lead them to water? And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
