Original text and translations

Latin text Gáude Vírgo María; cúnctas haéreses sóla interemísti, quae Gabriélis Archángeli díctis credidísti. Dum Vírgo Déum et hóminem genuísti, et post pártum Vírgo invioláta permansísti.

English translation Rejoice, Virgin Mary; you alone destroyed all the heresies, you who believed the words of the Archangel Gabriel. While a Virgin you bore both God and man, and after the birth you remained an untouched Virgin.
