Original text and translations

Latin text Congratulamini videte omnes. Cum essem parvula placui Altissimo, et Christum genui qui nos redemit. Ideo me beatam mortales dicent, quia ancillam humilem respexit, intacta es puerpera Maria: nam ex te ortus sol lucis aeterne qui et illuminat omnes in terra.

English translation All behold and rejoice. When I was small I pleased the Most High, and bore Christ, who will redeem us. Since he has regarded his lowly handmaiden, Therefore mankind call me blessed: "Mary, virgin and childbearing, For out of you is the rising of light eternal, which sheds light on all on earth". (trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
