Comparison of Prayers - Easter Vigil

"Christ Risen" by Peter Paul Rubens

Yes, I've been busy. Sorry, there isn't really a comparison. I just haven't been able to get the time to type up the I.C.E.L. translations, but here are the literal translations of the Easter Vigil Mass.

Opening Exhortation

Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Fratres caríssimi, hac sacratíssima nocte, in qua Dóminus noster Iesus Christus de morte transívit ad vitam, Ecclésia invítat fílios dispérsos per orbem terrárum, ut ad vigilándum et orándum convéniant. Si ita memóriam egériums Páschatis Dómini, audiéntes verbum et celebrántes mystéria eius, spem habébimus participándi triúmphum eius de morte et vivéndi cum ipso in Deo.

My Own Literal Translation
Dearest brethren, in this most holy night, in which our Lord Jesus Christ passed from death to life, the Church invites her children who are dispersed throughout the world, that they may come together to watch and pray. If we carry out the Paschal memorial of our Lord in this manner, listening to His word and celebrating His Mysteries, we may have hope of participating in His triumph over death and living with Him in God.

God, You Who through Your Son bestowed on the faithful the fire of Your Glory, bless this new fire, and grant us, in the same manner that through this Paschal feast we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with pure minds we may be made worthy to come to the feast of perpetual light.

*the 2002 Missale Romanum has "mysterio" however, I believe that is a typo and the prayer should follow the traditional wording of "ministerio"

Blessing of the Baptismal Water (If there are candidates to be Baptized the following prayer is used)

Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Deus, qui invisíbili poténtia per sacramentórum signa mirábilem operáris efféctum, et creatúram aquæ multis modis præparásti, ut baptísmi grátiam demonstráret;
Deus, cuius Spíritus super aquas inter ipsa mundi primórdia ferebátur, ut iam tunc virtútem sanctificándi aquárum natúra concíperet;
Deus, qui regeneratiónis spéciem in ipsa dilúvii effusióne signásti, ut uníus eiusdémque eleménti mystério et finis esset vítiis et orígo virtútum;
Deus, qui Abrahæ fílios per Mare Rubrum sicco vestígio transíre fecísti, ut plebs, a Pharaónis servitúte liberáta, pópulum baptizatórum præfiguráret;
Deus, cuius Fílius, in aqua Iordánis a Ioánne baptizátus, Sancto Spíritu est inúnctus, et in cruce pendens, una cum sánguine aquam de látere suo prodúxit, ac, post resurrectiónem suam, discípulis iussit: “Ite, docéte omnes gentes, baptizántes eos in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti:” réspice in fáciem Ecclésiæ tuæ, eíque dignáre fontem baptísmatis aperíre.
Sumat hæc acqua Unigéniti tui grátiam de Spíritu Sancto, ut homo, ad imáginem tuam cónditus, sacraménto baptísmatis a cunctis squalóribus vetustátis ablútus, in novam infántiam ex aqua et Spíritu Sancto resúrgere meréatur.
Descéndat, quaésumus, Dómine, in hanc plenitúdinem fontis per Fílium tuum virtus Spíritus Sancti, ut omnes, cum Christo consepúlti per baptísmum in mortem, ad vitam cum ipso resúrgant.
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia saécula sæculórum.

My Own Literal Translation
O God, Who by Your invisible Power works the wonderful effect through the signs of this Sacrament, and prepare this creature water by many ways, so that the grace of Baptism may be shown;
O God, Whose Spirit in the very beginning of the world moved over the waters, that even now the nature of water may receive the power to sanctify;
O God, Who in the pouring fourth of the flood did give an example of regeneration, so that by this Mystery one and the same element may be the end of vice and the Source of virtues;
O God, Who made the sons of Abraham to pass dry-shod through the Red Sea, so that a people, freed from the slavery of Pharaoh, may prefigure the people of the Baptized;O God, Whose Son, having been baptized in the waters of the Jordan by John, and having been anointed by the Holy Spirit, and suspended on the Cross, brought forth Blood with water together from His side, and, after His Resurrection, He ordered His disciples: “Go forth, and teach all the nations, Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:” look upon the face of Your Church, and deign to open to Her the font of Baptism.
May this water take up the grace of Your only-begotten Son through the Holy Spirit, that man, made in Your image, by the Sacrament of Baptism be completely cleansed of the squalor of the old man, and merit to rise again in rebirth through water and the Holy Spirit.
We beg You, O Lord, through Your Son, may the Power of the Holy Spirit, descend upon the entirety of this font, that all, who are buried with Christ in death through Baptism, may rise to life with Him.
Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
