SACRIFICIUM ANNUAE SACRAE

==I. INITIUM==

Praeco dicit:

"Hoc agite! Ite procul, sacer est locus, ite profani!"

Lictor dicit:

"Hostis vinctus, puer, virgo exesto!"

==II. PRAEFATIO==

The Consul washes his hands in preparation for the Praefatio:

"Haec aqua a corpore impuritates eluat, ut pluvial aera purgat!"

(May this water cleanse my body of impurities, as the rain cleanses
the air.)

Praeco dicit:

"Adeste dique hominesque sacris. Procul hinc, procul ite nocentes si
cui corde nefas tacitum fessique senectus longa patris, si quis
pulsatae conscius umquam matris et inferna rigidum timet Aeacon urna:
insontes castosque voco."

(Come, be present, Gods and men, to these holy rites. Begone, you
wicked folk, begone far from here, all whose hearts harbor unspoken
an unholy desire, any who thinks their elderly relatives have lived
too long, or you who are conscious of ever having struck your own
mother, fear the urn of unbending Aeacus in the Underworld. I call
only upon the innocent and the chaste.)

Consul dicit:

"Pro Senatu Novo Romano, ego, M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus Consul
dico, edico:"

(For the Senate and People of Nova Roma, I, Marcus Moravius Piscinus
Horatianus, the Consul say and announce:)

Roma.)

prayers, so that You may be propitious to me and the Senate and
People of Nova Roma.)

the air.)

"Iuppiter Optime Maxime, uti tibi in illeis libreis scriptum est,
quarumque rerum ergo, quodque melius siet populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, tibi hoc sacrum fiat: te quaeso precorque, uti imperium
maiestatemque populi Novi Romani Quiritium auxis, utique
incolumitatem sempiternamque victoriam valetudinemque populo Novo
Romano Quiritibus des, faveasque populo Novo Romano Quiritibus,
Remque Publicam Liberam populi Novi Romani Quiritium salvam serves,
maioremque facias, uti sis volens propitius populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, Senatui Novo Romano, sacerdotibus populi Novi Romani,
nobis, domibus, familiis, et uti huius sacrifici acceptor sies; harum
rerum ergo macte esto fito volens propitius populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, Senatui Novo Romano, sacerdotibus Novis Romanis, nobis,
domibus, familiis."

(Jupiter Optimus Maximus, as it is prescribed for You in the (sacred)
books – and for this reason may good fortune attend the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to You. I ask and I
pray that You may increase the imperium and majesty of the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that You may grant eternal safety,
victory and health to the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that
You may protect the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that You
may keep safe and make greater the Free Republic of the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites, and that You may be favorable and propitious
to the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites, to the Senate of Nova Roma,
to the priests and priestesses of the people of Nova Roma, to us, to
our homes, and to our households; and that You may accept this
sacrifice. For these reasons may You become strengthened and honored
with this sacrifice, may You become favorable and propitious to the
people of Nova Roma, the Quirites, to the Senate of Nova Roma, to the
priests and priestesses of the people of Nova Roma, to ourselves, to
our homes, and to our households.)

"Iuppiter, quo circa te, Capitoline, quem propter beneficia populus
Romanus Optimum, propter vim Maximum nominavit! Iuppiter, qui genus
colis alisque hominem, per quem vivimus vitalem aevom, quem penes
spes vitae sunt hominum omnium, da diem hunc sospitem quaeso meis
rebus agundis!"

(O Jupiter Capitolinus, to You I pray, I entreat You, who the Roman
people have named Optimus after Your kindness and Maximus after Your
great power. O Jupiter, who does cherish and nurture the human race,
through whom we live and draw the breath of life, in whom rest the
hopes and lives of all humankind, come now to this place, bless it in
happiness, illuminated in Your divine radiance, venerated and made
holy by Your presence.)

"Pater noster, in tua, pater carissime, in tua sumus custodia.
Iuppiter, te hoc ture ommovendo bonas preces praecor, uti sis volens
propitius nobis liberisque nostris, domibus familiisque nostris."

(Our Father, in You, dearest Father, in Your hands do we place our
safekeeping. Jupiter, in offering to You this incense I pray good
prayers that You may favor us, our children, our homes and our
households.)

propitius nobis liberisque nostris, domibus familiisque nostris,
mactus hoc ferto."

order that, pleased with this offering of libum bread, You may be
favorable to us and our children, to our homes and our households.)

eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto."

(Father Jupiter, for the same reasons given when offering to You
libum bread with good prayers, may You be warmed by this small
portion of our wine.)

"Iuppiter Optime Maxime, rex Deorum, qui res publicas Novas Romanas
nunc custodis defendisque, sicut res publicas maiorum nostrorum
Romanorum custodivisti defendistique, tibi fieri oportet in hoc
tempore initii culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape
pullucenda esto."

(Iuppiter Best and Greatest, King of the Gods, who protects and
defends the public affairs of Nova Roma just as He protected and
defended the public affairs of our Roman fathers, to You it is proper
for a cup of wine to be given in this time of beginning, for the sake
of this thing may You be honored by this feast offering.)

"Iuno, regina Deorum, quae materne nunc Senatum Populumque Novum
Romanum nutris, sicut Senatum Populumque Romanum in tempore maiorum
nostrorum nutrivisti, tibi fieri oportet in hoc tempore initii
culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape pullucenda esto."

dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape pullucenda esto."

(Salus, benefactor of the Roman Senate and People and guarantor of
