Translation: I received a rhyming translation into Hebrew of a part of the poem from Agnus Moulij, made by Yoram Brunuvsky, Israeli poet and critic, from the Vatican version (in Transcript to Latin alphabet) and from Bertie Aronson I reveived another – complete – one by Ido Abrabaja. The numbers (1) in the text have been added for pronunciation purposes. For purposes of comparison I give the complete Latin text.
1 Stabat Mater dolorosa iuxta crucem lacrimosa dum pendebat Filius
2 Cuius animam gementem contristatem et dolentem pertransivit gladius
3 O quam tristis et afflicta fuit illa benedicta Mater Unigeniti
4 Quae moerebat et dolebat et tremebat cum videbat nati poenas incliti
5 Quis est homo qui non fleret Matri Christi si videret in tanto supplicio?
6 Quis non posset contristari Matrem Christi contemplari dolentum cum filio?
7 Pro peccatis suae gentis vidit Iesum in tormentis et flagellis subditum
8 Vidit suum dulcem natum moriendo desolatum dum emisit spiritum
9 Eia Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac ut tecum lugeam
10 Fac ut ardeat cor meum in amando Christum Deum ut sibi complaceam
11 Sancta Mater, istud agas crucifixi fige plagas cordi meo valide
12 Tui nati vulnerati tam dignati pro me pati poenas mecum divide
13 Fac me vere tecum flere crucifixo condolere donec ego vixero
14 Iuxta crucem tecum stare te libenter sociare in planctu desidero
15 Virgo virginum praeclara mihi iam non sis amara fac me tecum plangere
16 Fac ut portem Christi mortem passionis eius sortem et plagas recolere
17 Fac me plagis vulnerari cruce hac inebriari ob amorem filii
18 Inflammatus et accensus, per te, Virgo, sim defensus in die iudicii
19 Fac me cruce custodiri morte Christi praemuniri confoveri gratia
20 Quando corpus morietur fac ut animae donetur paradisi gloria. Amen
