Here is the traditional Dutch translation of the Divine Praises, known as the "Lofprijzingen" or "Gebed tot de Lofprijzingen" in Catholic liturgy. This version is widely used in Dutch-speaking churches and is faithful to the original Latin.
Dutch Translation:
Gezegend zij God. Gezegend zij zijn heilige Naam. Gezegend zij Jezus Christus, waarachtig God en waarachtig Mens. Gezegend zij de Naam van Jezus. Gezegend zij zijn Allerheiligst Hart. Gezegend zij zijn Kostbaar Bloed. Gezegend zij Jezus in het Allerheiligst Sacrament des Altaars. Gezegend zij de Heilige Geest, de Trooster. Gezegend zij de grote Moeder van God, Maria Allerheiligst. Gezegend zij haar heilige en Onbevlekte Ontvangenis. Gezegend zij haar Glorieuze Tenhemelopneming. Gezegend zij de Naam van Maria, Maagd en Moeder. Gezegend zij de heilige Jozef, haar zuivere bruidegom. Gezegend zij God in zijn engelen en in zijn heiligen.
Notes on Usage:
This translation is standard in the Netherlands and Flanders. The phrase "Allerheiligst Sacrament des Altaars" is the formal liturgical term for the Blessed Sacrament. "Paraclete" is translated as "Trooster" (Comforter), which is the common Dutch equivalent. "Glorieuze Tenhemelopneming" refers to the Assumption; some older versions use "Glorierijke Hemelvaart" but "Tenhemelopneming" is more precise for Mary's assumption.
Practical Considerations:
If you are using this in a prayer group or church setting, check with your local parish for any minor regional variations. Some communities may use "gezegend" (blessed) interchangeably with "geprezen" (praised), but "gezegend" is the direct translation of "blessed" and is most common. For personal devotion, this version is perfectly acceptable.
Next Steps:
To practice pronunciation, listen to recordings of Dutch liturgical prayers online. You can also write the translation on a card for memorization. If you need a version for a specific diocese, consult a Dutch-language missal or ask a local priest.
