I watched a video last night made by a Jesuit. He said that there was a lot of argument in ICEL about whether or not “sabaoth” should be restored to the mass in the English translation, that is, leaving it in Hebrew as it was in the so-called “Latin” mass. Apparently, a compromise was made to translate it, but to translate it as “hosts,” which the priest was clear in saying is what they think it means, but aren’t actually 100% sure. I would love to hear, “Holy, holy, holy Lord God sabaoth…” Alas, it just might happen eventually! Missale Romanum v2.4, anyone?
How can they not know? Hebrew’s not exactly a lost language. Or is it more that there is no one-word English equivalent that does justice to what the Hebrew word conveys?

The word (tzevaot) just means “hosts” or “armies”; St. Jerome regularly translated it that way into Latin. No big mystery. In the Old Testament it appears both in reference to heavenly hosts and to armies of men.
 
I know this is late, and thank you to all those who responded. What I was looking for was:

Kyrie (Lord Have Mercy)

Kyrie eleison Lord have mercy
Christe eleison Christ have mercy
Kryie eleison Lord have mercy

Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy)

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Holy, Holy, Holy

Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
God of power and might.

Pleni sunt caeli et terra Gloria tua.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in excelsis.
Hosannan in the highest.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord

Hosanna in excelsis.
Hosanna in the highest.

Angus Dei (Lamb Of God)

Angus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Miserere nobis.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Angus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Miserere nobis.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Angus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

These are done at a lot of our masses, but being in Latin, I did not know what they were! Ok, now I finally know! Thanks again everyone. Maybe this will help others…
 
Sometimes in a Novus Ordo Mass there is a bit of Latin. Kyrie Eleison is one of them (can somebody give me the whole thing) and what other Latin prayers or responses are typically occasionally said at a Novus Ordo Mass (with English translation please)?

I also have heard “Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus” is the rest of the “Holy, Holy, Holy” prayer ever said in Latin in a Novus Ordo Mass?
Please use the correct term. It is the Ordinary Form of the Mass.
 
Thank you, I did not know and I was corrected already once in this thread.
