Original text and translations

Latin text Angelus Dómini appáruit Zacharíae qui cum turbátus ésset áit ad íllum: Ne tímeas Zacharía, quóniam exaudíta est deprecátio túa, et úxor túa Elízabeth páriet tíbi fílium, et vocábis nómen éjus Joánnem. Multíque súper nativitáte éjus gaudébunt; érit énim mágnus córam Dómino, et vínum sicerámque non bíbet. Vox clamántis in desérto: Paráte víam Dómini, réctas fácite sémitas éjus. Inter nátos muliérum non surréxit májor Joánne Baptísta. Pía érgo ménte orémus ad éum ut intercédat pro nóbis ad Dóminum Déum nóstrum.

English translation The angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah who, since he was disturbed, said to him: Fear not, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call him John, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great before the Lord, and he will drink no wine or strong drink. The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his pathway. Among those born of women a greater has not arisen than John the Baptist. Therefore with holy thoughts, let us pray to him that he may intercede for us with the Lord our God.
