Original text and translations

Latin text

Homo erat in Jerusalem cui nomen Simeon.
Hic erat justus et timoratus.
Responsum accepit Simeon a Spiritu Sancto
non visurum se mortem nisi videret Christum Domini.
Et cum inducerent puerum in templum
accepit eum Simeon in vulnas suas
et benedixit Deum dicens:

Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine secundum verbum tuum
in pace quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum.
