Verbum caro factum est
Et habitavit in nobis
et vidimus gloriam ejus [or cuius gloriam vidimus]
gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre
plenum gratiae et veritatis.

Antiphon

Verbum caro factum est
Et habitavit in nobis
plenum gratiae et veritatis;
de cuius plenitudine omnes nos accepimus,
et gratiam pro gratia, alleluia.

English translation
translated by Allen H Simon

The Word was made flesh
And lived with us
and we saw his glory,
the glory as of the only-begotten by the Father
full of grace and truth.

another English translation from the Douay-Rheims Bible:

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us
and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth.

Hungarian translation

Az Ige testté lett
és miköztünk lakozott
és mi láttuk dicsőségét
mint az Atya egyszülöttjének dicsőségét
telve kegyelemmel és igazsággal.

German translation
Übersetzung Peter Rottländer

Das Wort ist Fleisch geworden und wohnte unter uns, und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit, eine Herrlichkeit gleich der des einzigen Sohnes des Vaters, voller Gnade und Wahrheit.
