Quoniam summus pastor pastoris nomen habere nos voluit et officium pastorale exercere praecepit, errabundis et languidis ovibus congruam medicinam providere nos convenit, ut nec importuna instantia aliquam praefocemus, nec blandiente nobis desidia nostra negligenter aliquam perire permittamus; | Puisque le souverain pasteur a voulu que nous ayons le nom de pasteur et nous a ordonné d'exercer l'office pastoral, il nous convient de préparer pour les brebis errantes et souffrantes le remède adapté, de sorte que nous n'en étouffions aucune par une insistance importune et qu' abusé par notre nonchalance nous ne per... | Since the sovereign shepherd willed that we should have the name of shepherd and commanded us to exercise the pastoral office, it is incumbent upon us to provide a fitting remedy for the straying and ailing sheep, so that we neither stifle any by inopportune insistence nor, beguiled by our own indolence, negligently pe... | Since the sovereign shepherd has willed that we bear the name of shepherd and has commanded us to exercise the pastoral office, it behooves us to prepare the appropriate remedy for the straying and suffering sheep, so that we neither stifle any of them by importunate insistence nor, misled by our sloth, allow any to pe... |
ne otium nostrum negotiis saecularibus praeponamus, quominus parturienti Ecclesiae debitum ministerium persolvamus. | ne préférons pas notre repos aux affaires du siècle, pour nous acquitter du ministère qui est dû à l'Église qui enfante. | let us not prefer our repose to secular affairs, lest we fail to discharge the ministry that is owed to the Church in her labor. | Let us not prefer our ease to the affairs of the world, so that we may fulfill the ministry owed to the Church that is giving birth. |
Licet enim in amplexus speciosae Rachel intendat labor militiae nostrae, spe tamen prolis numerosioris, amplexus Liae nobis est tolerandus quia, cum illa plus videat, ista plus fructificat; | Car bien que le travail de notre milice tende vers les étreintes de la belle Rachel, nous devons cependant, dans l'espoir d'une descendance plus nombreuse, supporter les étreintes de Lia, parce que, si celle-là voit davantage, celle-ci fructifie davantage; | For although the labor of our soldiery tends toward the embraces of the beautiful Rachel, we must nevertheless, in the hope of a more numerous progeny, endure the embraces of Leah, because, while the former sees more, the latter fructifies more; | For although the toil of our warfare tends toward the embraces of fair Rachel, we must nevertheless, in the hope of a more numerous offspring, endure the embraces of Leah, for while the former sees more, the latter bears more fruit; |
et cum illi visio sua sit jucundissima, hujus actio multis est necessaria et, ut evidentius dicam, cum in illa pene sola sit dilectio Dei, in hac manifesta est etiam dilectio proximi. | et, bien que la vue de celle-là lui soit très agréable, l'acte de cette dernière est nécessaire à beaucoup et, pour parler plus clairement, alors qu'en celle-là il y a l'amour de Dieu presque seul, en celle-ci se manifeste aussi l'amour du prochain. | and, though the vision of the former is most pleasing, the action of the latter is necessary to many and, to speak more plainly, whereas in the former there is almost solely the love of God, in the latter there is also manifest the love of the neighbor. | and, although the sight of the former is very pleasing to him, the act of the latter is needed by many, and, to speak more clearly, whereas in the former there is almost only the love of God, in the latter the love of neighbor is also manifest. |
Cujus dilectionis sequacibus suis insinuandae formam protulit mediator Dei et hominum, qui non solum pro nobis de secreto suo ad publicum nostrum prodiit, sed etiam carnem assumptam flagellis, colaphis, sputis, ac demum morti crucis addixit. | Le médiateur de Dieu et des hommes a fourni à ceux qui le suivraient le signe de l'avènement de cet amour, lui qui non seulement a paru pour nous en public en sortant de sa retraite, mais a même livré son corps incarné aux fouets, aux soufflets, aux crachats et enfin à la mort de la croix. | The mediator between God and men furnished to his followers the model for embracing this love, He who not only emerged from his seclusion into our public sphere for our sake, but even delivered his incarnate body to whips, to blows, to spittle, and finally to the death of the cross. | The mediator between God and men gave those who would follow him the sign of the advent of this love; he not only appeared publicly for us, coming forth from his seclusion, but even delivered up his incarnate body to scourging, to blows, to spitting, and finally to the death of the cross. |
Quid hoc facto summus pastor nobis insinuat, nisi ut nos dicti pastores oves erroneas ad custodiam nostram pertinentes, per devia quaeque et aspera fugientes, indeficienti charitate consectemur, ut ad gregem reportentur, licet in sequendo vepribus conscindamur, crebris spinarum aculeis cruentemur ? | Que nous suggère par cet acte le souverain pasteur, si ce n'est que nous qui sommes appelés pasteurs nous poursuivions avec une indéfectible charité les brebis errantes soumises à notre garde, qui fuient à travers des chemins écartés et rudes, pour les ramener vers le troupeau, même si en les suivant nous sommes déchir... | What does the sovereign shepherd intimate to us by this act, if not that we who are called shepherds should pursue with indefatigable charity the errant sheep entrusted to our care, as they flee through remote and rugged paths, so that they may be returned to the flock, even if in pursuing them we are torn by briars an... | What does the sovereign Shepherd suggest to us by this act, if not that we who are called shepherds should pursue with unfailing charity the straying sheep entrusted to our care, who flee along out-of-the-way and rugged paths, to bring them back to the flock, even if, in following them, we are torn by brambles and bloo... |
Quod quia prudentiam vestram latere non ignoro, nescio utrum patientiam vestram vel negligentiam, quantum fas est ex charitatis affectu, reprehendo, quod contra instituta majorum quosdam fratres semel a vobis ad custodiam animarum dimissos apud vos detinetis, in quibus vestram et illorum famam laedi permittitis et morb... | Comme je n'ignore pas que ceci n'échappe pas à votre prudence, je ne sais pas si c'est votre patience ou votre négligence que je réprimande, dans la mesure où c'est permis dans un sentiment de charité, pour le fait que vous retenez auprès de vous, contre les dispositions des anciens, des frères que nous avions une prem... | As I am not unaware that this does not escape your prudence, I know not whether it is your patience or your negligence that I reprimand, insofar as is permissible from a sentiment of charity, for the fact that you detain with you, against the institutes of the elders, certain brethren once dispatched by us for the care... | Since I know that this has not escaped your prudence, I do not know whether it is your patience or your negligence that I am reproving—insofar as charity permits—because you keep with you, contrary to the ordinances of the elders, brothers whom we had originally sent to watch over souls, thereby allowing our good name ... |

Quorum sanctitati quamvis longe impares simus, eorum tamen vestigia honorare, mirari et imitari quantum Deo donante possumus exoptamus. | Bien que nous soyons de loin inférieur à leur sainteté, nous souhaitons cependant, autant que nous le pouvons avec l'aide de Dieu, honorer leurs traces, les admirer et les imiter. | Although we are by far inferior to their sanctity, we nevertheless desire, as much as we are able with God's grace, to honor their footsteps, to admire, and to imitate them. | Although we are far beneath their sanctity, we nevertheless desire, insofar as we are able with God’s help, to honor their footsteps, admire them, and imitate them. |
Unde non tantum a rege, cujus illicito conjugio contradiximus, verum etiam a quibusdam aliis filiis hujus saeculi, quorum perversitatibus, quantum possumus, reluctamur, bonorum ecclesiasticorum gravia damna perpetimur. | Aussi non seulement de la part du roi, au mariage illicite de qui nous nous sommes opposé, mais aussi de la part de certains autres fils de ce siècle, contre les perversités de qui nous luttons autant que nous le pouvons, nous subissons de graves dommages dans nos biens ecclésiastiques. | Thus, not only from the king, whose illicit marriage we have opposed, but also from certain other sons of this age, against whose perversions we struggle as best we can, we suffer grievous damages to our ecclesiastical goods. | Thus, not only from the king, whose illicit marriage we have opposed, but also from certain other sons of this age, against whose perversities we struggle as much as we can, we suffer grievous damage to our ecclesiastical property. |
Quorum direptionem lucri majoris compensatione per Dei gratiam longanimiter sustinemus et majora, si necesse sit, subire parati sumus, attendentes illud Apostoli quia : « Non sunt condignae passiones hujus temporis ad futuram gloriam quae revelabitur in nobis. » Et illud : « Si compatimur, et conregnabimus. » | Nous supportons avec longanimité leur dispersion, compensée grâce à Dieu par un gain plus grand, et nous sommes prêt à en endurer de plus grands, si c'est nécessaire, attentif à ce mot de l'Apôtre : « Les souffrances de ce temps n'ont pas de proportion avec la gloire future qui sera révélée en nous » ; et ceci : « Si n... | We bear their plundering with longanimity, compensated by the grace of God with a greater gain, and we are prepared to endure greater still, if it be necessary, mindful of that word of the Apostle: "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us"; and this... | We endure their scattering with long-suffering, which, thanks be to God, is compensated by a greater gain, and we are ready to endure greater ones, if need be, mindful of the Apostle’s word: “The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the future glory that will be revealed in us”; and this: “If we... |
Et quia jam instant illa tempora periculosa in quibus impletur quod scriptum est : « Ex abundantia iniquitatis refrigescet charitas multorum », dicendum est petris montium : « Cadite super nos et abscondite nos ab ira Agni ». | Et parce que déjà sont imminents ces temps de péril où s'accomplira ce qui a été écrit : « À cause de l'abondance d'iniquité, la charité de beaucoup se refroidira », il faut dire aux pierres des montagnes : « Tombez sur nous et cachez-nous de la colère de l'Agneau ». | And because those perilous times are already imminent wherein that which was written shall be fulfilled: "Because iniquity shall abound, the charity of many shall grow cold," it must be said to the rocks of the mountains: "Fall on us, and hide us from the wrath of the Lamb." | And because these times of peril are already at hand, in which what has been written will be fulfilled: “Because of the abundance of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold,” we must say to the stones of the mountains: “Fall upon us and hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.” |
Quod quid est aliud dicere, nisi in fide robustis et sanctitate sublimibus viris in hac sententia supplicare : miseriae nostrae misericorditer condescendite et ne in tentationem inducamur et iram Dei incurramus vestris orationibus impetrate. | Qu'est-ce dire d'autre qu'implorer par cette sentence les hommes robustes dans la foi et élevés dans la sainteté : abaissez-vous miséricordieusement au niveau de notre misère et obtenez par vos prières que nous ne soyons pas induit en tentation et n'encourrions pas la colère de Dieu. | What else is this to say, than to implore by this sentence those men robust in faith and sublime in sanctity: condescend mercifully to our misery and obtain by your prayers that we be not led into temptation nor incur the wrath of God. | What else does it mean but to implore, by this sentence, men robust in faith and exalted in holiness: mercifully lower yourselves to the level of our misery and obtain by your prayers that we may not be led into temptation and may not incur the wrath of God. |
De quibus petris quia vos et in sancta societate vestra plures esse non diffidimus, hanc a vobis apud Deum intercessionem obnixe postulamus, quatenus sic per ignem et aquam transeamus ut in refrigerium divino ductu educi valeamus. | Comme nous ne doutons pas que vous soyez de ces pierres, vous et beaucoup d'autres dans votre sainte communauté, nous réclamons avec insistance de votre part cette intercession auprès de Dieu, pour que nous traversions le feu et l'eau de manière à pouvoir être amené sous la conduite divine au lieu du rafraîchissement. | As we do not doubt that you, and many others in your holy community, are of these rocks, we insistently demand of you this intercession before God, that we may so pass through fire and water as to be worthy of being led, by divine guidance, to the place of refreshment. | Since we do not doubt that you are among those stones, you and many others in your holy community, we earnestly ask of you this intercession before God, that we may pass through fire and water so as to be brought, under divine guidance, to the place of refreshment. |
Nos enim publicorum negotiorum tumultibus occupati, cum ipsis compescendis, tota die laborando sufficere non possimus, internae quietis suavitatem vix aliquando admittimus. | Car occupé par les agitations des affaires publiques, alors que nous ne pouvons suffire à les contenir en travaillant tout le jour, nous avons peine, de loin en loin, à nous adonner à la douceur de la quiétude intérieure. | For, occupied by the tumults of public affairs, while we cannot suffice to contain them by laboring the whole day, we are scarcely able, from time to time, to partake of the sweetness of inner quietude. | For, absorbed in the turmoil of public affairs, while we cannot succeed in keeping them in check even by working all day long, we can hardly, save at long intervals, give ourselves over to the sweetness of inner quietude. |
Raro etiam canonicum pensum determinatis horis solvere praevalemus. | nous pouvons même rarement nous acquitter aux heures fixées du devoir canonial. | Indeed, we are rarely able to discharge the canonical office at the appointed hours. | We can scarcely even fulfill our canonical duty at the appointed hours. |
Vos igitur et caeteri servi Dei, qui velut in portu navigatis, oportet ut nobis orationis manus, quam longe potestis, extendatis et vobiscum ad optatam requiem perducere studeatis. | Vous donc et tous les autres serviteurs de Dieu, qui naviguez comme dans un port, il faut que vous étendiez pour nous autant que vous le pouvez les mains de votre prière et que vous veilliez à nous conduire avec vous au repos souhaité. | You, therefore, and all other servants of God, who navigate as if in a harbor, must extend to us the hands of your prayer as far as you are able, and take care to lead us with you to the desired rest. | Therefore you, and all the other servants of God who are sailing as though in harbor, must stretch out for us, as far as you can, the hands of your prayer, and see to it that you lead us with you to the longed-for rest. |
De caetero, de fratre illo quem absolvi a me postulatis ut libere eum in monachum suscipere valeatis, hoc vobis respondeo quia, si mores ejus experimento sicut ego nosceretis, nec ligatum eum nec solutum habere curaretis. | Par ailleurs, au sujet de ce frère que vous m'avez demandé de délier pour que vous puissiez librement le recevoir comme moine, je vous réponds que, si vous connaissiez ses mœurs par expérience comme moi, vous ne chercheriez à l'avoir, ni lié ni délié. | Furthermore, concerning that brother whom you have asked me to release so that you may freely receive him as a monk, I answer you this: if you knew his character by experience as I do, you would seek to have him neither bound nor unbound. | Moreover, concerning that brother whom you asked me to release so that you could freely receive him as a monk, I reply that, if you knew his conduct from experience as I do, you would not seek to have him, whether bound or unbound. |
Homo enim magnus est in oculis suis, amans primos recubitus in coenis, primas cathedras in synagogis, salutationes in foro, quamvis mundo renuntiaverit, vanitati vestium studens, locorum mutatione gaudens; | En effet cet homme est grand à ses propres yeux, aimant les premières places dans les festins, les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, les saluts sur la place ; bien qu'il ait renoncé au monde, se plaisant dans la vanité des vêtements, se réjouissant du changement de lieu ; | For this man is great in his own eyes, loving the first places at feasts, the chief seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplace; although he has renounced the world, he delights in the vanity of his attire and rejoices in changing location; | Indeed, this man is great in his own eyes, loving the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues, the greetings in the marketplace; though he has renounced the world, taking pleasure in the vanity of dress, rejoicing in change of place; |
ita deses ut per decem annos non expleverit dimidiam hebdomadam missae in ordine vicis suae, qui totiens hoc facere conatus est, quotiens desideratus honor ei a fratribus delatus non est ; totiens desivit, quotiens locum implendae vanitatis invenit. | tellement indolent que pendant dix ans il n'a pas accompli une demi semaine de messe quand venait son tour ; qui s'est efforcé de le faire chaque fois qu'un honneur qu'il désirait ne lui a pas été accordé par les frères, et a cessé toutes les fois qu'il a trouvé le moyen de combler sa vanité. | so indolent that for ten years he has not completed half a week of Masses when it was his turn; who has attempted to do so as many times as a desired honor was not bestowed upon him by the brethren, and has ceased every time he found an opportunity to satisfy his vanity. | so indolent that for ten years he did not fulfill even half of his week of Mass when his turn came; who strove to do so whenever an honor he desired was not granted him by the brethren, and stopped whenever he found a way to indulge his vanity. |
Quem si fratres loci absolverint, ego eum non tenebo ; aliter autem hoc facere non valeo. | Si les frères de ce lieu le délient, moi je ne le retiendrai pas ; mais autrement je ne peux le faire. | If the brethren of that place release him, I shall not hold him; but otherwise I cannot do it. | If the brothers of this place release him, I will not hold him back; but otherwise I cannot do so. |
Si ergo adeo vobis carus vel necessarius est frater ille, a confratribus ejus hanc solutionem quaerite, quia quidquid licere sibi dicat, sine ulla conditione et stabilitati loci et societati fratrum canonicae professionis vinculis est alligatus. Valete. | Si donc ce frère vous est si cher ou si nécessaire, demandez à ses confrères sa libération parce que, quoi qu'il dise pouvoir faire, il a été attaché sans aucune condition par les liens de sa profession canoniale et à la stabilité dans le lieu et à la société des frères. Adieu. | If, therefore, that brother is so dear or necessary to you, seek his release from his confreres, because, whatever he may say he is permitted to do, he is bound without any condition by the chains of his canonical profession both to stability in that place and to the society of the brethren. Farewell. | If, then, this brother is so dear to you or so necessary, ask his fellow canons for his release; for, whatever he says he can do, he has been bound unconditionally by the bonds of his profession as a canon, to stability of place, and to the fellowship of the brethren. Farewell. |
Hugoni, reverendo Lugdunensium archiepiscopo, Ivo, humilis Carnotensium episcopus, in Christi esse visceribus. | À Hugues, révérend archevêque des Lyonnais, Yves, humble évêque des Chartrains, être [demeurer] dans les entrailles du Christ. | To Hugues, reverend archbishop of the Lyonnais, Yves, humble bishop of the Chartrains, to be [to remain] in the bowels of Christ. | To Hugh, reverend archbishop of Lyons, Yves, humble bishop of Chartres: be [remain] in the bowels of Christ. |
Audivi domnum Urbanum apostolicum legationem apostolicam tuae credidisse charitati, qua laudabiliter functus es tempore praedecessoris sui beatae memoriae papae Gregorii. | J'ai appris que le seigneur apostolique Urbain avait confié à ta charité la légation apostolique dont tu t'es acquitté de manière louable du temps de son prédécesseur le pape Grégoire de bienheureuse mémoire. | I have learned that the apostolic lord Urban has entrusted to your charity the apostolic legation, which you discharged in a laudable manner in the time of his predecessor, Pope Gregory of blessed memory. | I have learned that Pope Urban has entrusted to you the apostolic legation, which you carried out commendably in the time of his predecessor, Pope Gregory of blessed memory. |
Audivi et laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi, tum propter sinceram qua te amplector charitatem, tum propter communem Ecclesiae Christi utilitatem. | Je l'ai appris et me suis réjoui de ce qui m'a été dit, tant à cause de l'affection sincère dont je t'entoure qu'à cause de l'utilité commune de l'Église. | I have learned this and have rejoiced in what was told to me, as much for the sincere charity with which I embrace you as for the common utility of the Church of Christ. | I have learned of it and rejoiced at what was told me, both because of the sincere affection I bear you and because of the common good of the Church. |
Sed hanc meam laetitiam postea perturbavit quod mihi dictum est te in tanta perturbatione humerum tuum huic oneri nolle supponere, dissuasione quorumdam dicentium, propter languidum caput aegrotanti corpori et pene viribus destituto non posse commode subveniri. | Mais ma joie présente a ensuite été troublée parce qu'il m'a été dit que tu ne voulais pas dans un si grand trouble accabler ton épaule de cette charge, dissuadé par certains qui disent qu'en raison de la faiblesse de la tête on ne peut pas venir convenablement en aide à un corps malade et presque privé de forces. | But this joy of mine was afterwards troubled because I was told that in so great a disturbance you were unwilling to place your shoulder under this burden, dissuaded by certain men who say that, on account of a feeble head, one cannot suitably come to the aid of a sick body that is nearly bereft of strength. | But my present joy was then troubled, for I was told that you did not wish, amid such great turmoil, to take this charge upon your shoulders, dissuaded by some who say that, because of the weakness of the head, one cannot properly come to the aid of a body that is sick and almost bereft of strength. |
Sed imperitorum medicorum est tale consilium, tumores palpantium et palpando putredines digestantium, amantium suam tranquillitatem, non aegrotantium sanitatem, nec attendentium quod Veritas dicit : « Non est opus sanis medicus, sed male habentibus. » | Mais tel est le conseil de médecins incapables, qui palpent les tumeurs et en les palpant répandent les infections, qui aiment leur tranquillité et non la santé des malades, sans tenir compte de ce que dit la Vérité : « Ce ne sont pas les gens en bonne santé qui ont besoin du médecin, mais ceux qui se portent mal. » | But such is the counsel of unskilled physicians, who palpate tumors and by their palpation spread the decay, who love their own tranquility and not the health of the sick, paying no heed to what the Truth says: "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but those who are ill." | But such is the counsel of inept physicians, who palpate tumors and, by palpating them, spread infection, who love their own comfort rather than the patients’ health, without heeding what Truth says: “It is not the healthy who need the physician, but the sick.” |
Licet enim in regno Italico surrexerit alter Achab, in regno autem Gallico altera Jezabel, quaerentes altaria suffodere, prophetas occidere, non est tamen dicendum Heliae : « Relictus sum solus et quaerunt animam meam. », ne divinum dicat ei responsum : « Reliqui mihi septem millia virorum, qui non curvaverunt genua su... | En effet bien que dans le royaume d'Italie se soit dressé un autre Achab, et dans celui de Gaule une autre Jézabel, qui cherchent à saper les autels, à tuer les prophètes, il ne faut cependant pas dire à Élie : « J'ai été laissé seul et ils cherchent mon âme », de peur qu'on ne lui dise la réponse divine : « J'ai gardé... | For although another Ahab has arisen in the kingdom of Italy, and in that of Gaul another Jezebel, who seek to undermine the altars and to kill the prophets, it must not for that reason be said to Elijah: "I alone am left, and they seek my life," lest the divine response be said to him: "I have reserved for myself seve... | Indeed, although in the kingdom of Italy another Ahab has arisen, and in that of Gaul another Jezebel, who seek to undermine the altars and to slay the prophets, nevertheless one must not say to Elijah: “I alone am left, and they seek my life,” lest he receive the divine reply: “I have kept for myself seven thousand me... |
Licet ad placitum Herodis saltet Herodias, petat caput Johannis, concedat Herodes, dicat tamen Johannes : « Non licet tibi uxorem tuam inordinate relinquere et contribulis tui conjugem, vel pellicem, in conjugium habere. » | Même si pour plaire à Hérode Hérodiade danse, demande la tête de Jean, si Hérode la lui accorde, que Jean dise cependant : « Il ne t'est pas permis d'abandonner illégalement ton épouse et d'avoir pour femme ou plutôt concubine quelqu'un de ta tribu ». | Even if Herodias dances to please Herod, and asks for the head of John, and Herod grants it, let John nevertheless say: "It is not lawful for you to unlawfully abandon your wife and to take as spouse, or rather concubine, one from your own tribe." | Even if, to please Herod, Herodias dances and asks for John’s head, and even if Herod grants it to her, let John nevertheless say: “It is not lawful for you to unlawfully repudiate your wife and to take as your wife—or rather a concubine—someone from your own tribe.” |
Licet Balaam doceat Balac edere et fornicari, Phinees tamen non parcat Israhelite cum Madianite fornicanti. | Même si Balaam enseigne à Balaq à manger et à forniquer, que Phinéas n'épargne cependant pas l'Isréalite qui fornique avec une Madianite. | Even if Balaam teaches Balak to eat and to fornicate, let Phinehas nevertheless not spare the Israelite who fornicates with a Midianite woman. | Even if Balaam teaches Balak to eat and to fornicate, nevertheless let Phinehas not spare the Israelite who fornicates with a Midianite. |
Licet ad persuasionem Simonis Nero Petrum liget in carcere, non minus tamen Petrus Simoni dicat : « Pecunia tua tecum sit in perditione. » | Même si Néron persuadé par Simon enchaîne Pierre emprisonné, que Pierre n'en dise cependant pas moins à Simon : « Que ton argent périsse avec toi. » | Even if Nero, persuaded by Simon, binds Peter in prison, let Peter nevertheless say no less to Simon: "May your money perish with you." | Even if Nero, persuaded by Simon, chains the imprisoned Peter, let Peter nonetheless say to Simon: "May your money perish with you." |
Quanto enim studiosius perversorum temeritas et audacia rectitudinis statum labefactare conatur, eo vehementius est eorum improbitati resistendum, et religioni Christianae consulendum, et lamentabilibus Ecclesiae ruinis obviandum. | Car plus ardemment la témérité et l'audace des méchants s'efforcent d'ébranler la situation de droit, plus vivement faut-il résister à leur malhonnêteté et veiller sur la religion chrétienne et remédier aux ruines lamentables de l'Église. | For the more ardently the recklessness and audacity of the perverse strive to undermine the state of righteousness, the more vehemently must their wickedness be resisted, the Christian religion be guarded, and the lamentable ruins of the Church be remedied. | For the more ardently the recklessness and audacity of the wicked strive to undermine the legal order, the more vigorously must we resist their shamelessness, keep watch over the Christian religion, and repair the lamentable ruins of the Church. |
Non haec quasi ignoranti scribo, sed persuasum esse vellem tuae paternitati, ut iterum manum ad aratrum mitteres, et de agro Domini spinas, quas posses, evelleres et semina quaeque messem latura superseminare non differres. Haec hactenus. | Je n'écris pas ceci comme à un ignorant, mais je voudrais persuader ta paternité de mettre une nouvelle fois la main à la charrue et d'arracher du champ du Seigneur les épines que tu pourras et de ne pas tarder à resemer des semences qui porteront la moisson. Assez sur ce sujet. | I do not write these things as if to one who is ignorant, but I wish to persuade your paternity to put your hand to the plow once more, to pull out from the Lord's field what thorns you can, and not to delay in sowing over them seeds that will bear a harvest. Enough on this subject. | I do not write this as though to an ignorant man, but I would urge Your Paternity to put your hand to the plow once more, to uproot from the Lord’s field whatever thorns you can, and not to delay in sowing anew the seeds that will bring forth the harvest.

De caetero devotissime postulo paternitatem tuam quatenus parvitati meae rescribas, utrum navi periclitantis Ecclesiae, etiam pene naufragium patientis, manum adhibere disponas et quo in loco circa initium Quadragesimae te valeam invenire. | Je prie par ailleurs très dévotement ta paternité de récrire à ma petitesse si tu te disposes à apporter ton aide au navire de l'Église qui est en péril, même s'il est près de subir le naufrage, et en quel lieu vers le début du carême je pourrais te rencontrer. | Furthermore, I most devoutly ask your paternity to write back to my lowliness whether you are disposed to lend a hand to the ship of the Church which is in peril, and even now suffering near-shipwreck, and in what place around the beginning of Lent I might be able to find you. | I furthermore most devoutly beseech Your Paternity to write to my humble self whether you are disposed to lend your aid to the ship of the Church, which is in peril—even though it is on the verge of shipwreck—and in what place, toward the beginning of Lent, I might meet you. |
Quaedam enim ecclesiastica negotia tractanda sunt mihi cum tua prudentia, quod mihi operosum, tibi autem non erit onerosum.

Excellentiae vestrae litteras nuper accepi quibus submonebar ut apud Pontesium vel Calvum montem cum manu militum vobis, die quem statueratis, occurrerem, iturus vobiscum ad placitum quod futurum est inter regem Anglorum et comitem Northmannorum, quod facere ad praesens magnae et multae causae me prohibent. | Je viens de recevoir une lettre de votre excellence où j'étais sommé de me rendre auprès de vous à Pontoise ou à Chaumont avec une troupe de chevaliers au jour que vous aviez décidé, pour aller avec vous au plaid qui doit avoir lieu entre le roi d'Angleterre et le comte de Normandie, ce que m'interdisent de faire en ce... | I have just received a letter from your excellency wherein I was summoned to present myself before you at Pontoise or Chaumont with a company of knights on the day you had decided, to go with you to the assembly which is to take place between the king of England and the count of Normandy, which great and numerous reaso... | I have just received a letter from Your Excellency in which I was summoned to attend upon you at Pontoise or at Chaumont with a company of knights on the day you had set, to go with you to the hearing that is to take place between the King of England and the Count of Normandy, which many and weighty reasons forbid me t... |
Primo quia dominus papa Urbanus interdicit vobis auctoritate apostolica thorum mulieris quam pro uxore habetis et quia sacramentum de securitate concilii quod vobis mandaverat fieri vetuistis. | D'abord parce que le seigneur pape Urbain vous interdit par l'autorité apostolique la couche de cette femme que vous tenez pour épouse et parce que vous avez refusé de faire le serment qu'il vous avait demandé concernant la sécurité du concile. | Firstly, because the lord Pope Urban, by apostolic authority, forbids you the bed of that woman whom you hold as your wife, and because you have refused to make the oath he had commanded of you concerning the security of the council. | First, because the Lord Pope Urban, by apostolic authority, forbids you to share the bed of this woman whom you take to be your wife, and because you refused to swear the oath that he had asked of you concerning the safety of the council. |
A cujus commixtione si amodo non cessatis, separat vos eadem auctoritas a participatione dominici corporis et sanguinis. | Si vous ne cessez pas sans tarder votre union avec elle, cette même autorité vous sépare de la participation au corps et au sang du Seigneur. | If you do not henceforth cease your union with her, this same authority separates you from participation in the body and blood of the Lord. | If you do not forthwith cease your union with her, that same authority will separate you from communion in the body and blood of the Lord. |
Interdicit etiam omnibus episcopis ne capiti illius mulieris coronam imponant quam, ut ubique pene terrarum dicitur, lateri vestro illicite copulastis. | Elle interdit aussi à tous les évêques de poser la couronne sur la tête de cette femme que vous avez prise illicitement à votre côté, comme on le dit presque partout sur la terre. | It also forbids all bishops from placing the crown upon the head of this woman whom you have illicitly taken to your side, as is said almost everywhere on earth. | She also forbids all bishops to set the crown upon the head of this woman whom you have unlawfully taken to your side, as is said almost everywhere on earth. |
Parcens igitur majestati vestrae, dissimulo vestram adire praesentiam ne, sedis apostolicae jussione compulsus, cui vice Christi parere me oportet, quod nunc dico in aure cogar in vestris et multorum auribus publicare. | Donc pour épargner votre majesté j'évite de venir en votre présence de peur que, frappé par un ordre du siège apostolique, auquel il me faut obéir comme au Christ, ce que je vous dis maintenant à l'oreille je ne sois contraint de le proclamer à vos oreilles et à celles de beaucoup. | Therefore, to spare your majesty, I avoid coming into your presence lest, compelled by an order from the apostolic see, which it behooves me to obey as I would Christ, I should be constrained to proclaim in your ears and in those of many what I now say in your ear. | Therefore, to spare Your Majesty, I forbear to come into your presence, lest, bound by an order of the Apostolic See, which I must obey as I would Christ, I be constrained to proclaim in your hearing and in that of many what I now say in your ear. |
Ego autem nolo vos scandalizare, vel regiam majestatem vestram minuere, quamdiu possum aliqua honesta ratione dissimulare. | Quant à moi je ne veux pas vous scandaliser ni diminuer la majesté royale aussi longtemps que je peux dissimuler par quelque raison honorable. | As for myself, I do not wish to scandalize you nor diminish the royal majesty so long as I am able to dissemble for some honorable reason. | As for me, I wish neither to scandalize you nor to diminish the royal majesty, so long as I can dissemble under some honorable pretext. |
Praeterea casati ecclesiae et reliqui milites pene omnes vel absunt, vel pro pace violata excommunicati sunt, quos sine satisfactione reconciliare non valeo et excommunicatos in hostem mittere non debeo. | En outre les chasés de l'Église et le reste des chevaliers sont presque tous ou absents ou excommuniés pour avoir violé la paix, et je ne peux les réconcilier sans qu'ils aient fait satisfaction et je ne dois pas envoyer les excommuniés à l'ost. | Furthermore, the vassals of the Church and the rest of the knights are nearly all either absent or excommunicated for having violated the peace, and I cannot reconcile them without their having made satisfaction, nor ought I to send the excommunicated to the host. | Moreover, the Church’s enfeoffed knights and the rest of the knights are almost all either absent or excommunicated for having violated the peace, and I cannot reconcile them unless they have made satisfaction, and I ought not to send the excommunicated to the host. |
Postremo novit vestra serenitas quia non est mihi in curia vestra plena securitas, in qua ille sexus mihi est suspectus et infestus, qui etiam amicis aliquando non satis est fidus. | Enfin votre sérénité sait qu'il n'y a pas pour moi pleine sécurité en votre cour, où m'est suspect et hostile ce sexe qui n'est parfois pas assez fidèle, même envers ses amis. | Finally, your serenity knows that for me there is no full security in your court, where that sex is to me suspect and hostile, which is at times not faithful enough even to its friends. | Finally, Your Serenity knows that there is for me no full security at your court, where that sex, which is sometimes not faithful enough even toward its friends, is to me suspect and hostile. |
Exspecto igitur ut aliquando cor vestrum, illustrante divina clementia, contra sibilum serpentis auditum obturetis et monitis salutis aures cordis aperiatis. | J'attends donc qu'un jour vous fermiez votre cœur à l'écoute des sifflements du serpent, éclairé par la clémence divine, et que vous ouvriez les oreilles de votre cœur aux avertissements du salut. | I await, therefore, the day when your heart, illuminated by divine clemency, will stop its ear against the hissing of the serpent and open the ears of your heart to the admonitions of salvation. | I therefore await the day when, enlightened by divine mercy, you will close your heart to the serpent’s hissing and open the ears of your heart to the admonitions of salvation. |

Quoniam tam scientia quam experientia novi praelatos in congregatione sibi commissa assiduos esse debere, postquam placuit ei qui ad convivium suum me invitaverat ut recumbenti mihi in loco humili diceret : « Ascende superius », frequenter monui fratres mihi commissos ut de confratribus suis, vel aliunde si ita eis com... | Puisque tant par la science que par l'expérience je sais que les supérieurs doivent être présents dans la congrégation qui leur a été confiée, après qu'il eut plu à celui qui m'avait invité à son festin de me dire, à moi qui étais allongé à une place modeste : « Monte plus haut », j'ai fréquemment averti les frères qui... | Since I know, as much by knowledge as by experience, that prelates must be assiduous in the congregation entrusted to them, after it pleased Him who had invited me to His banquet to say to me, as I was reclining in a humble place, "Go up higher," I have frequently admonished the brethren entrusted to me to choose for t... | Since, both by learning and by experience, I know that superiors ought to be present in the congregation entrusted to them, after it had pleased him who had invited me to his banquet to say to me, as I was reclining in a modest place, “Move up higher,” I frequently warned the brothers entrusted to me to choose for them... |
Quod cum hactenus suis de causis ab eis dilatum sit, nunc tandem acquieverunt monitis meis et disponunt aliquem secundum quod mentibus eorum inspiraverit Deus sibi praeficere, qui pro viribus sibi collatis in necessitatibus eorum studeat eis tam spiritualia quam corporalia ministrare. | Alors qu'ils avaient différé cette décision jusqu'ici pour des raisons qui leur étaient propres, maintenant ils ont enfin répondu à mes avertissements et se disposent à mettre à leur tête, selon ce que Dieu aura inspiré à leurs esprits, quelqu'un qui veille à leur fournir, selon les forces qui lui ont été données, les ... | Whereas they had until now deferred this decision for their own reasons, they have now finally acquiesced to my admonitions and are disposed to place at their head, according to what God will have inspired in their minds, someone who will endeavor to minister to them, according to the strengths given him, in both their... | While they had postponed this decision until now for reasons of their own, they have now at last heeded my warnings and are preparing to place at their head, as God may inspire their minds, someone who will see to providing, according to the strength that has been given to him, the assistance they need, both spiritual ... |
Ea igitur hora qua litteras istas acceperitis, per easdem litteras, licet absens corpore, praesens tamen spiritu, depono in manu vestra praelationem quam hactenus habui in ecclesia Beati Quintini, toto desiderio expostulans ut quem congregatio illa concorditer vel pars sanioris consilii regulariter sibi praeferri postu... | C'est pourquoi à l'heure où vous recevrez cette lettre, bien qu'absent de corps, présent cependant en esprit, je dépose par cette même lettre en votre main le gouvernement que j'ai eu jusqu'à aujourd'hui dans l'église de Saint-Quentin, vous réclamant de tous mes vœux de mettre à ma place, en ce lieu et cet ordre où j'é... | Therefore, at the hour you receive this letter, by this same letter—though absent in body, yet present in spirit—I depose into your hand the prelacy I have held until today in the church of Saint-Quentin, demanding with all my desire that you substitute in that place and in the order in which I was there the one whom t... | Therefore, at the hour when you receive this letter, though absent in body yet present in spirit, I hereby, by this same letter, place in your hands the governance I have held until this day in the church of Saint-Quentin, beseeching you with all my heart to set in my stead, in that place and that order wherein I was, ... |
Ego tamen, etsi depono praelationem, non desero illius Ecclesiae societatem, in qua aliquando potero vobis esse utilis, si Deus reddiderit pacem servis suis.

Richerio, Dei gratia sanctae matris Ecclesiae Senonensis archiepiscopo, Ivo, Ecclesiae Carnotensis servus, obedientiam secundum constitutiones Patrum, et caeteris episcopis in urbe Remensi congregatis, fraternae dilectionis obsequium. | À Richer, par la grâce de Dieu archevêque de la sainte mère l'Église de Sens, Yves, serviteur de l'Église de Chartres, obéissance selon les dispositions des Pères, et à tous les autres évêques réunis dans la ville de Reims, empressement d'une dilection fraternelle. | To Richer, by the grace of God archbishop of the holy mother Church of Sens, Yves, servant of the Church of Chartres, obedience according to the constitutions of the Fathers, and to the other bishops assembled in the city of Reims, the service of fraternal love. | To Richer, by the grace of God archbishop of the holy mother Church of Sens, Yves, servant of the Church of Chartres, obedience according to the decrees of the Fathers; and to all the other bishops assembled in the city of Reims, the eagerness of fraternal love. |
Si divinae legis fuissetis memores, cujus debetis esse doctores atque tutores, non contra sanctorum Patrum instituta me invitassetis ad concilium, praesertim cujus facinus ignoratis aut flagitium. | Si vous vous étiez souvenus de la loi divine, dont vous devez être les docteurs et les défenseurs, vous ne m'auriez pas, à l'encontre les dispositions des saints Pères, invité au concile, surtout que vous ne connaissez de moi ni crime ni scandale. | If you had been mindful of the divine law, of which you ought to be the doctors and guardians, you would not have invited me to the council against the institutes of the holy Fathers, especially as you are ignorant of any crime or scandal concerning me. | Had you remembered the divine law, of which you ought to be the teachers and defenders, you would not, contrary to the decrees of the holy Fathers, have invited me to the council, especially since you know of me neither crime nor scandal. |
Primo quia invitaverunt me quidam episcopi non comprovinciales mei, qui sine auctoritate apostolica mei judices esse non debent, cum peregrina judicia nullius esse momenti decretorum pariter et canonum generali sanctione decernat auctoritas. | D'abord parce que m'ont invité certains évêques qui ne sont pas de ma province, qui ne doivent pas être mes juges sans autorité apostolique, puisque l'autorité des décrets ainsi que celle des canons décrètent par une décision générale que des jugements rendus par des étrangers ne sont d'aucune valeur. | Firstly, because certain bishops who are not of my province have invited me, who ought not to be my judges without apostolic authority, since the authority of the decrees as well as that of the canons states by a general sanction that judgments rendered by outsiders are of no moment. | In the first place, because I have been summoned by certain bishops who are not of my province, who ought not to be my judges without apostolic authority, since the authority of the decrees and of the canons alike lays down by a general ruling that judgments rendered by outsiders are null and void. |
Secundo quia admonitione metropolitani mei protrahere nitimini causam meam extra provinciam, quod cum multis sanctionibus sanctorum Patrum praecisum sit unam ex multis beati Stephani papae et martyris producam ad medium, quae tanquam gladius biceps utriusque intentionem reverberet, invitantis scilicet et accusantis. | Deuxièmement parce que sur le conseil de mon métropolitain vous vous efforcez d'attirer ma cause hors de la province. Puisque cela a été retranché par de nombreuses décisions des saints Pères, j'en produirai une au grand jour, parmi beaucoup d'autres, du bienheureux Étienne pape et martyr, qui comme un glaive à double ... | Secondly, because upon the advice of my metropolitan you are striving to draw my case out of the province. Since this has been curtailed by numerous decisions of the holy Fathers, I shall produce one of them into the light, among many others, from the blessed Stephen, pope and martyr, which like a two-edged sword repel... | Secondly, because, on the advice of my metropolitan, you are striving to remove my case from the province. Since this has been ruled out by numerous decisions of the holy Fathers, I will bring one of them to light, among many others, by the blessed Stephen, pope and martyr, which, like a two-edged sword, drives back th... |
Dicit enim beatus papa : « Ultra provinciae terminos accusandi licentia non progrediatur, sed omnis accusatio intra provinciam audiatur et a comprovincialibus terminetur, nisi ad apostolicam sedem fuerit tantum appellatum. » | Le bienheureux pape dit en effet : « Que la possibilité d'accuser n'aille pas au-delà des limites de la province, mais que toute accusation soit entendue à l'intérieur de la province et soit réglée par les évêques de la province, à moins qu'il ne soit fait appel au siège apostolique. » | The blessed pope says, in effect: "Let the license to accuse not proceed beyond the boundaries of the province, but let every accusation be heard within the province and be settled by the bishops of the province, unless an appeal has been made to the apostolic see." | The blessed Pope indeed says: "Let the right to bring an accusation not extend beyond the boundaries of the province, but let every accusation be heard within the province and settled by the bishops of the province, unless an appeal is made to the Apostolic See." |
Et : « Neganda est accusantibus licentia criminandi priusquam se crimine quo premuntur exuerint. » | Et : « Il faut refuser aux accusateurs la possibilité d'incriminer avant qu'ils ne soient lavés de l'accusation dont ils sont chargés. » | And: "The license to incriminate must be refused to accusers before they have been cleared of the charge with which they themselves are burdened." | And: “Accusers must be denied the ability to level accusations before they have been cleared of the accusation brought against them.” |
Postremo quia non de veritatis tramite, sed de odii fomite mea procedit accusatio, apostolicam sedem appello, quod omnibus in crimine pulsatis apostolica concedit auctoritas, ut per se aut per vicarios suos, loco et tempore quod mihi praescripserit, causam meam discutiat et, cum peroratum fuerit, legitimam sententiam p... | Enfin, parce que mon accusation provient non du sentier de la vérité mais du foyer de la haine, j'en appelle au siège apostolique, ce que l'autorité apostolique accorde à tous ceux qui sont frappés d'accusation pour que, par elle-même ou par ses délégués, au lieu et au moment qui m'auront été prescrits, elle débatte de... | Finally, because my accusation proceeds not from the path of truth but from the hearth of hatred, I appeal to the apostolic see, which the apostolic authority grants to all who are smitten with an accusation, so that, by itself or by its delegates, at a place and time that shall be prescribed to me, it may debate my ca... | Finally, because the charge against me arises not from the path of truth but from the seat of hatred, I appeal to the Apostolic See, which the apostolic authority grants to all who stand accused, so that, either by itself or through its delegates, at the place and time appointed for me, it may hear my case and, once th... |
Neque hoc bene mihi conscius causa vitandi judicii facio, cum manifesta et brevis sit mea purgatio de crimine perjurii, qui nulli hodie viventium aliquando juramentum feci. | Et en toute bonne conscience je n'agis pas ainsi pour éviter le jugement, puisque ma justification concernant le crime de parjure serait claire et rapide, moi qui n'ai jamais fait de serment à aucun des hommes actuellement vivants. | And in all good conscience I do not act thus to avoid judgment, since my justification concerning the crime of perjury would be clear and swift, I who have never made an oath to any man now living. | And in all good conscience I do not act thus to avoid judgment, since I, who have never sworn an oath to any man now living, would have a clear and swift defense against the charge of perjury. |
Sed nolo exemplum esse caeteris recedendi ab ordine, neque sanum consilium est pro incerto commodo vel nullo certis periculis me opponere. | Mais je ne veux pas donner aux autres l'exemple d'une dérobade à l'ordre et ce n'est pas non plus une saine décision que de m'exposer, pour un avantage incertain ou nul, à des périls certains. | But I do not wish to set an example for others of departing from the established order, nor is it a sound decision to expose myself to certain perils for an uncertain or non-existent advantage. | But I do not wish to set others the example of flouting order, nor is it a sound decision to expose myself to certain dangers for an uncertain or even nonexistent advantage. |
Conductum enim a domino meo rege quaesivi nec habere potui. | Car j'ai demandé à mon seigneur le roi un sauf-conduit et je n'ai pu l'avoir. | For I asked my lord the king for a safe-conduct and was not able to obtain it. | For I requested a safe-conduct from my lord the king and was unable to obtain it. |
Quantum vero ex intentatis minis intelligo, non liceret mihi in conventu vestro impune dicere veritatem, qui pro jam dicta veritate et apostolicae sedis obedientia tantam sentio jam severitatem ut perjurium arguar incurrisse et majestatem regiam minuisse. | Or, autant que je le comprends d'après les menaces qui me sont adressées, il ne me serait pas loisible de dire impunément la vérité dans votre assemblée, moi qui, pour avoir déjà dit la vérité et pour avoir obéi au siège apostolique, suis déjà victime d'une sévérité telle que je suis accusé d'avoir commis un parjure et... | Now, as far as I understand from the threats made against me, it would not be permissible for me to speak the truth with impunity in your assembly, I who, for having already spoken the truth and for having obeyed the apostolic see, am already the victim of such severity that I am accused of having committed perjury and... | Now, as I understand from the threats addressed to me, I would not be at liberty to speak the truth with impunity in your assembly; I, who, for having already spoken the truth and obeyed the Apostolic See, am already the victim of such severity that I am accused of having committed perjury and of having diminished the ... |
Quod, ut pace vestra dicam, rectius in eos retorqueri potest qui vulnus fomentis incurabile, tanquam pii medici, cauteriis competentibus dissimulant urere vel medicinali ferro praecidere. | Ce qui, pour le dire sauve votre paix, peut se retourner plus justement contre ceux qui, comme le feraient de pieux médecins, négligent de brûler avec les cautères adaptés ou d'inciser avec le fer médicinal une blessure qui ne peut se soigner avec des pansements. | Which, if I may say so with due respect, can be more justly turned back against those who, like pious physicians, neglect to burn with suitable cauteries or to excise with the medicinal blade a wound that cannot be cured with poultices. | This, to say it so as to spare your peace, can be more justly turned against those who neglect to burn with suitable cauteries or to incise with the medicinal iron, as pious physicians would, a wound that cannot be healed with bandages. |
In qua sententia si mecum firmiter fuissetis, jam aegrotum nostrum ad sanitatem perduxissetis. | Si vous vous étiez tenus fermement avec moi dans cette résolution, vous auriez déjà ramené notre malade à la santé. | If you had stood firmly with me in this resolution, you would have already returned our patient to health. | If you had stood firm with me in this resolve, you would already have restored our patient to health. |
Quod quamdiu differtis, videte si fidelitatem quam debetis pleniter exhibetis, si officii vestri munus expletis. | Aussi longtemps que vous différez, voyez si vous témoignez pleinement la fidélité que vous devez, si vous remplissez la charge de votre office. | As long as you delay, consider whether you are showing in full the fidelity that you owe, whether you are fulfilling the duty of your office. | So long as you delay, see whether you fully demonstrate the fidelity you owe, whether you are fulfilling the duties of your office. |
Faciat ergo dominus rex adversum parvitatem meam, quantum Deo permittente libuerit et licuerit, includat, excludat, proscribat ; | Que le seigneur roi fasse donc contre ma petitesse autant qu'il lui sera loisible ou licite de le faire avec la permission de Dieu, qu'il emprisonne, exclue, proscrive ; | Let the lord king therefore do against my lowliness as much as he may please and be permitted to do with God's leave; let him imprison, exclude, proscribe; | Let the lord king then do against my humble person as far as it may be permissible or lawful for him to do with God’s permission; let him imprison, banish, proscribe; |
inspirante Dei gratia et prosequente, decrevi pati pro lege Dei mei nec ulla ratione cogente volo ei esse consentaneus in culpa, qui nolo esse consors in poena. | la grâce de Dieu m'inspirant et me soutenant, j'ai décidé de souffrir pour la loi de mon Dieu et aucune raison ne me poussera à vouloir être d'accord dans la faute avec celui à qui je ne veux pas être associé dans le châtiment. | with the grace of God inspiring and sustaining me, I have resolved to suffer for the law of my God, and no reason will compel me to consent to the fault of him with whom I do not wish to be a consort in punishment. | The grace of God inspiring and sustaining me, I have resolved to suffer for the law of my God, and no reason will move me to wish to agree in sin with one with whom I do not wish to be associated in punishment. |
Angelus magni consilii et spiritus fortitudinis sit vobiscum ut recta sapiatis et recta faciatis. Valete. | Que l'ange du grand conseil et l'esprit de courage soient avec vous, pour que vous ayez le goût de ce qui est droit et fassiez ce qui est droit. Adieu. | May the angel of great counsel and the spirit of fortitude be with you, that you may savor what is right and do what is right. Farewell. | May the angel of great counsel and the spirit of courage be with you, so that you may have a taste for what is right and do what is right. Farewell. |
Ivo, Carnotensis Ecclesiae non satis aptus minister, fratri Manegaldo, sic crucem Christi portare ut ejus remigio mare hujus mundi valeat transfretare. | Yves, ministre trop peu compétent de l'Église de Chartres, à son frère Manegold, porter la croix du Christ de manière à pouvoir, en s'en servant de rame, traverser la mer de ce monde. | Yves, an all too incompetent minister of the Church of Chartres, to his brother Manegold, to so carry the cross of Christ that, using it as an oar, he may be able to cross the sea of this world. | Yves, an all too unworthy servant of the Church of Chartres, to his brother Manegold: may you bear the cross of Christ so that, using it as an oar, you may cross the sea of this world. |
Quoniam post multos circuitus levem Christi sarcinam subire et contempto mundi flore in domo Dei abjecte vivere elegisti, sciens quia melius est modicum justo, super divitias peccatorum multas, divinae bonitati, quae humilibus dat gratiam, grates exsolvimus et, ut de commisso tibi talento, tanquam fidelis nummularius, ... | Puisqu'après de longs détours tu as choisi de supporter le léger fardeau du Christ et, méprisant la fleur de ce monde, de vivre humblement dans la maison de Dieu, sachant que mieux vaut un peu pour le juste que les nombreuses richesses des pécheurs, nous rendons grâces à la bonté divine qui donne sa grâce aux humbles e... | Since after long wanderings you have chosen to bear the light burden of Christ and, scorning the flower of this world, to live humbly in the house of God, knowing that a little for the just man is better than the great riches of sinners, we give thanks to the divine goodness which gives grace to the humble, and we earn... | Since, after long wanderings, you have chosen to bear the light burden of Christ and, spurning the bloom of this world, to live humbly in the house of God, knowing that a little is better for the righteous than the abundant riches of sinners, we give thanks to divine goodness, which bestows its grace upon the humble, a... |

Ita dicens, Minervam quidem non doceo, a qua magis doceri indigeo, sed fraternis profectibus congaudens, bonis principiis meliores exitus apponi desidero. | En parlant ainsi j'enseigne assurément Minerve, par qui j'ai plutôt besoin d'être enseigné, mais en me réjouissant des progrès des frères je désire qu'à de bons commencements s'ajoutent de meilleures fins. | In speaking thus, I am assuredly not teaching Minerva, by whom I rather have need to be taught, but in rejoicing in the progress of the brethren, I desire that better ends be joined to good beginnings. | In speaking thus I am assuredly teaching Minerva, by whom I myself have greater need to be taught; yet, rejoicing in the brothers’ progress, I desire that good beginnings may be followed by better ends. |
