Latin text

Ecce sacerdos magnus, qui in diebus suis placuit Deo.

Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.

Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi

et testamentum suum confirmavit super caput ejus.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:

Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

English translation

Behold a great priest, who in his days pleased God.

Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him increase among his people.

He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon his head.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. World without end. Amen

German translation

Seht einen Hohepriester,

wie er in seinen Erdentagen Gott gefiel,

wie der Herr mit ihm einen Bund geschlossen,

daß er hineinwachse in seines Volkes Gemeinschaft.

Zum Segen sollte er sein,

und der Gnade Fülle legte er auf sein Haupt.

Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und dem Heiligen Geist,

wie es war im Anfang, jetzt und allezeit

und in Ewigkeit. Amen.
