Original text and translations

Latin text

Episcopus imponit manus,
Deus largitur gratiam,
Deus benedicit potenti dextera,
Deus tribuit dignitatem.
Vos estis sal terrae.
Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur?
Ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras,
et conculcetur ab hominibus.
Vos estis lux mundi:
sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus,
ut videant opera vestra bona,
et glorificent patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est.
