Texts and translations

Below are two of the possibly many variants:

"… quia cum essem"

(there seem several of these too!)

Latin text Congratulamini mihi omnes qui diligitis Dominum, quia cum essem parvula, placui Altissimo: Et de meis visceribus genui Deum et hominem. Ego quasi vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris, et flores mei fructus honoris et honestatis.

Spanish translation ¡Felicitadme todos los que amáis a Dios!, porque, aunque era insignificante, agradé al Altísimo y de mis entrañas engendré al Dios y Hombre. Translation by Alejandro Borrego Pérez

English translation Rejoice with me, all ye that love the Lord, for when I was small, I pleased the Most High: And from my womb I brought forth God and man. As the vine I have brought forth a sweet odour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and truthfulness.

"… quia quem quaerebam"

Latin text Congratulamini mihi omnes qui diligitis Dominum, quia quem quaerebam apparuit mihi. Et dum flerem ad monumentum vidi Dominum meum. Alleluia.

English translation Rejoice with me, all ye that love the Lord, for what I sought appeared to me. And while I was weeping at the tomb, I saw my Lord. Alleluia.
