about

Af Cella, 'about the cell'.

lyrics

[Vite patrum; Helga Manna Lefverne, efter oxenstjernska codex. Cf apophthegmata patrum]

[Swedish, 14th century]



En sagdhe. Hwilkin som är ensamin. frälsis af threm stridhom. Hörslinna oc talaninna. Oc syninna. Än hiärtans stridh atirbliwir honom

+++Someone said, he who is alone is saved from three battles, hearing, speech, and sight. But his heart´s battle remains for him.+++



Abbas enagrius [Euagrius] saghde Thän tidh thu sitir i thinom sälla. tha hänt saman al thiin sin. Oc mins a thins döz dagh oc dözsens värkia.

+++Abbas Evagrius said, the time you sit in your cell, collect all your mind, and remember the day of your death, and the pain of death



stygs vid värlinna fafängo. Oc var altidh siäluir aat hughul. at thu maghe altidh vara i samu aktinne Minz a huru själana i hälwite ärw i besko thysto. i värstom graat.J mästom räddogha. oc stridh oc i mäste sorgh

+++shy at the vanity of the world, and take heed that you be always in this same consideration, Remember how the souls in hell are in bitter silence, in utmost tears, in utmost fear, and battle, and utmost sorrow.



Minz oc a gudz rädhelica dom. huru syndoghe män sculu tha skämmas i guz asyn oc aldra hälgha ängla. Oc pinas sidhan af äwärtelikom eld. oc odöthelikom madhkom. oc othulliko myrkö oc tannagnidhzlan

+++Remember also God´s terrible judgement, how sinful men will be ashamed in the sight of God and of all the holy angels. And thence suffer from eternal fire, and by immortal worms,* and by unbearable darkness and the gnashing of teeth.
*[vermis consciencie, i.e. the worm of (a bad) conscience]



Thänk oc himerikis glädhi och halghra manna äro. Oc glädhz i gudhi. Oc astunda at thu maghe til hans asyn koma

+++Think also about the joy of heaven and of the glory of holy men. And rejoice in God, and desire that you may come to his sight*
*[face to face, facie ad faciem, panim le-panim, prósopon pros prósopon,]



Oc thänk at os bör swa liua at wi skulum göra gudhi räkinscap af allom varom rörilsom afuita thy altidh thina siäl sighiande O miin siäl.

+++ And think that we should thus live that we shall have to give account to God about all of our movements. Reproach for this reason your soul saying, O my soul.



minz a at thu scalt koma for gudz dom. Thy at af tholikom thanka ma thik koma gudz räddughe

+++Remember that you will come before the judgement of God. For that by these thoughts may come to you the fear of God.
