Original text and translations

Latin text

Factum est silentium in caelo
dum draco committeret bellum
et Michael pugnavit cum eo
et fecit victoriam.
Audita est vox Millia millium dicentium
Salus honor virtus et gloria omnipotenti Deo.

English translation

Silence befell heaven,
for a serpent was waging war;
and Michael fought with him
and emerged victorious.
Thousands upon thousands of voices were heard
proclaiming health, honor, virtue and glory to Almighty God.
