Latin text

Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes,

erant omnes pariter dicentes, alleluia,

et subito factus est sonus de coelo, alleluia,

tamquam spiritus vehementis,

et replevit totam domum, alleluia.

Dum ergo essent in unum discipuli congregati, propter metum iudæorum,

sonus repente de coelo venit super eos,

tamquam spiritus vehementis,

et replevit totam domum, alleluia.

English translation

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come,

they were all with one accord in one place, saying: alleluia.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, alleluia,

as of a rushing mighty wind,

and it filled the whole house where they were sitting, alleluia.

When therefore the disciples were gathered together in one for fear of the Jews,

a sound from heaven came upon them,

as of a rushing mighty wind,

and it filled the whole house where they were sitting, alleluia.
