Vatican City, Jun 7, 2019 / 13:36 pm
The Apostolic See has confirmed the translation of the third edition of the Roman Missal prepared by the Italian bishops' conference. The translation has garnered attention for its changes to the Our Father, as well as the Gloria.
The newly-approved Messale Romano will translate the penultimate line of the Our Father (ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem) (lead us not into temptation) as "non abbandonarci alla tentazione" (do not abandon us to temptation). The existing version had translated it as "non ci indurre in tentazione" (lead us not into temptation).
In the Gloria, the line "in térra pax homínibus bónae voluntátis" (on earth peace to people of good will) will be translated "pace in terra agli uomini, amati dal Signore" (peace on earth to men, loved by the Lord). It was translated "pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà" (peace on earth to men of good will).
The Italian bishops' conference had approved the new edition of the Messale Romano during their November 2018 general assembly. The Apostolic See's confirmation of the text was communicated during the conference's meeting last month.
