Original text and translations

Latin text Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia mactata sunt, et omnia parata sunt: venite ad nuptias. Alleluia. Comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis: venite ad nuptias. Alleluia.

English translation Behold, I have prepared my meal: my oxen and poultry are killed, and all things are made ready: come unto the marriage. Alleluia. Eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have mixed for you: come unto the marriage. Alleluia.

German translation Seht, ich habe mein Mahl bereitet, meine Stiere und mein Mastvieh sind geschlachtet, und alles ist bereit: Kommt zur Hochzeit. Halleluja. Eßt mein Brot und trinkt den Wein, den ich für euch gemischt habe: Kommt zur Hochzeit. Halleluja.
