Original text and translations

Latin text Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes in eodem loco, et factus est repente de caelo sonus tanquam spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum, ubi erant sedentes et apparuerunt illis dispertitae linguae ignis seditque super singulos eorum et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto et caeperunt loqui variis linguis magnalia Dei. Alleluia

English translation When the days of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues about the great works of God. Alleluia. (Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4, NIV translation, except for the last six words and ‘alleluia’; 'day' pluralised)
