Preface
Preface of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salútare, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Qui, própria morte prænuntiáta discípulis, in monte sancto suam eis apéruit claritátem, ut per passiónem, étiam lege prophetísque testántibus, ad glóriam resurrectiónis perveníri constáret.
Et ídeo cum cælórum virtútibus in terris te iúgiter celebrámus, maistáti tuæ sine fine clamántes:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus ...

Official 1973 I.C.E.L. Translation (Used at Mass in English)
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord.
On your holy mountain he revealed himself in glory in the presence of his disciples. He had already prepared them for his approaching death. He wanted to teach them through the Law and the Prophets that the promised Christ had first to suffer and so come to the glory of his resurrection.
In our unending joy we echo on earth the song of the angels in heaven as they praise your glory for ever:
Holy, holy, holy ...

My Own Literal Translation
It is truly right and just, proper and availing unto salvation, that we always and everywhere give thanks to You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God: through Christ our Lord.
Who having foretold His own death to His disciples, revealed His Splendor to them on the holy mountain, so that through His Passion, also testified to by the law and the Prophets, He might stand firm to arrive at the Glory of His Resurrection.
And so, together with the powers of Heaven we on earth celebrate You, proclaiming Your majesty without end:
Holy, Holy, Holy ...
