Latin text
Pastores loquebantur ad invicem:
"Transeamus usque Betlehem, et videamus
hoc verbum quod factum est,
quod Dominus ostendit nobis". Noe.
Et venerunt festinantes et invenerunt Mariam et Joseph
et infantem positum in praesepio.
Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes
et laudantes Deum. Noe.
English translation by Edward Tambling
The shepherds said to one another:
"Let us cross over to Bethlehem, and see
this word which has been made,
and which the Lord has shown us". Noel.
And they hurriedly came and found Mary and Joseph
and the child laid in a manger.
And the shepherds went back, glorifying
and praising God. Noel.
