Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te, superveniet in te
et virtus altissimi obumbrabit tibi.

Quod enim ex te nascetur sanctum,
vocabitur filius Dei.
Quomodo fiet istud?
Quoniam virum non cognosco?
Et respondens angelus dixit ei:
Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te,
et virtus altissimi obumbrabit tibi.
