Original text and translations

Latin text Expurgáte vétus ferméntum, ut sítis nóva conspérsio. Allelúia. Etenim Páscha nóstrum immolátus est Chrístus. Itaque epulémur in Dómino. Allelúia. Mórtuus est enim própter delícta nóstra et resurréxit própter iustificatiónes nóstras. Itaque epulémur in Dómino. Allelúia.

English translation Cleanse out the old leaven, that you may be fresh dough. Alleluia. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate in the Lord. Alleluia. For he was put to death for our transgressions and rose again for our justification. Therefore let us celebrate in the Lord. Alleluia.
