Original text and translations
Latin text
Homo quidam fecit nuptias filio suo
et misit servos suos dicere invitatis:
Ecce prandium meum paravi,
tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt,
et omnia parata sunt:
venite, commedite, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis.
Gaudeamus et exultemus, et demus gloriam Deo
quia venerunt nuptiae Agni,
et uxor ejus praeparavit se.
Et beati qui ad coenam nuptiarum Agni vocati sunt. Alleluia.
