these parents who murder helpless lives, you willed to destroy by the hands of our ancestors,
these parents who murder helpless lives, you willed to destroy by the hands of our ancestors,

these parents who murder helpless lives, thou didst will to destroy by the hands of our fathers,
and by the hands of our fathers thou wouldest lose (or destroy) from thy middle sacrament, that is, from Judea, fathers and mothers, authors of souls, that is, of their children, unhelped; [and the fathers and the mothers, authors of the souls unhelped, lose thou wouldest not from thy middle sacrament, by the hands of their fathers and mothers;]
