Original text and translations

Latin text Lætamini cum Jerusalem, in exultate ea, omnes qui diligitis eam in æternum. Nascetur tibi parvulus, et vocabitur Deus fortis. Ipse sedebit super thronum David patris eius, et imperabit sine fine.

English translation Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her for ever. For unto you a child is born, and he shall call his name the mighty God. He himself shall sit upon the throne of David his father and he shall rule without end. (trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
