Original text and translations

Latin text Mági véniunt ab oriénte Jerosólimam quaeréntes et dicéntes: Ubi est qui nátus est rex Judaeórum, cújus stéllam vídimus? Et vénimus cum munéribus adoráre Dóminum. Mági vidéntes stéllam dixérunt ad ínvicem: Hoc sígnum mágni régis est; eámus et inquirámus éum et offerámus éi múnera áurum, thus, et mirrham. Alleluja.

English translation Learned men come from the East seeking Jerusalem and saying: Where is he that was born king of the Jews, whose star we have seen? And we have come with gifts to worship the Lord. The wise men, seeing the star, said to one another, This is the sign of a great king; let us go and search for him, and offer him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Alleluia.

Hungarian translation Mágusok jöttek napkeletről Jeruzsálembe, kérdezősködtek és mondták: Hol van, aki született, a zsidók királya, kinek láttuk csillagát? És eljöttünk ajándékokkal, hogy imádjuk az Urat.
