Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Iacob scalam quam cernebat
in hac angelos mox videbat
per viam descendere;
quamquam tres considerabat
unum tamen adorabat
in hoc gestans pandere
in personis trinitatem
et in esse unitatem
votum vovit domino vere
hec est domus dei
et porta celi, per quam rei
appropinquant domino.

2. Pax eterna templo regis veri
Salomonis neis fit pacti federibus
sibi quod sanctificavit ab eterno fortis David
fulgens in sideribus
in quo quisque exorare deum
debet et laudare
precedum dulcifera ut hic a malis
viduetur et in fine
sibi detur gracia celifera.

3. Terribilis est locus iste:
non est hic aliud nisi domus dei
et porta celi
vere et enim dominus
est in loco isto
et ego nesciebam
cumque evigilasset Iacob
quasi de gravi somno ait.
