Original text and translations

Latin text Haec est dies quam fecit Dominus. Hodie Dominus afflictionem populi sui respexit et redemptionem misit. Hodie mortem quam foemina intulit feminae semen fugavit. Hodie Deus homo factus. Id quod fuit, permansit et quod non erat assum(p)sit.

English translation This is the day which the Lord has made. Today the Lord has looked upon the suffering of his people and sent redemption. Today death, which a woman brought [into the world], has been overcome by one who was born of a woman. Today God was made man. He remained what he was and became what he was not. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
