Original text and translations

Latin text Inveterata sunt ossa mea, in dies expectant dolores mortis, ut rationem reddam villicationis meae, ante conspectum Redemptoris, qui pro nobis passus peccata nostra luit in crucis patibulo.

English translation My bones are grown old; Day by day they have been awaiting the sorrows of death that I may give an account of my stewardship before the eyes of the Redeemer, who, suffering for us, atoned for our sins in the torture of the cross.

German translation Meine Knochen sind mir alt geworden; Tag für Tag erwarteten sie des Todes Schmerzen, auf dass ich bezeuge meine Knechtschaft (?) im Angesichte des Erlösers, der, für uns leidend, unsere Sünden in des Kreuzes Marter gebüßt.
