太陽歌(造物讚)

至高、全能、仁善之主，讚頌、光榮、尊敬，及一切的稱揚，

皆應歸屬於你！

至高者，祗有歸屬於你是適當的，

誰也不配呼號你的聖名。

我主，願你因著你造生的萬物，

特別因著太陽兄弟而受讚頌，

因為你藉太陽造成白晝而照耀我們。

太陽是美妙的，它發射巨大光輝，

至高者，它是你的象徵。

我主，為月亮妹妹和星辰，願你受讚頌！

你曾願造化它們於天上，它們光明、珍貴而美麗。

我主，為了風兄弟，又為了空氣和白雲，

晴朗和各種氣候，願你受讚頌！

因為藉著它們，你使你的受造物得到撫慰。

我主，為了水妹妹，願你受讚頌！

它非常有用而謙虛，珍貴而貞潔。

我主，為了火兄弟，願你受讚頌，

你用它光照黑夜；

它英俊而愉快，勁健而有力。

我主，為了我們慈母般的地姊姊，願你受讚頌！

它載負我們並照顧我們，

生產不同的果實，色彩繽紛的花卉和草木。

那些為了愛你，而忍受不公平和痛苦，

並寬恕別人的人，我主，願你因著他們而受讚頌！

堅持和平的人是有福的，

因為他們將由你，至高者獲得榮冕。

死亡妹妹，是任何活人

不能逃避的，我主，願你因它而讚頌。

唯有死於大罪中的人，是有禍的！

承行你至聖旨意的人，是有福的，

因為第二死亡，不能損害他們。

請你們讚頌、稱揚我主！

請以極大的謙誠，感謝、事奉他！

亞孟。

The Canticle of Brother Sun

Most High, all powerful, good Lord,

Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor,

and all blessing.

To You alone, Most High, do they belong,

and no man is worthy to mention Your name.

Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures,

especially through my lord Brother Sun,

who brings the day; and you give light through him.

And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!

Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praise be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon

and the stars, in heaven you formed them

clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind,

and through the air, cloudy and serene,

and every kind of weather through which

You give sustenance to Your creatures.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,

which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,

through whom you light the night and he is beautiful

and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth,

who sustains us and governs us and who produces

varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.

Praised be You, my Lord,

through those who give pardon for Your love,

and bear infirmity and tribulation.

Blessed are those who endure in peace

for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord,

through our Sister Bodily Death,

from whom no living man can escape.

Woe to those who die in mortal sin.

Blessed are those whom death will

find in Your most holy willl,

for the second death shall do them no harm.

Praise and bless my Lord,

and give Him thanks

and serve Him with great humility.

AMEN.
