Elísabeth Zacharíae
mágnum vírum génuit,
Joánnem Baptístam,
praecursórem Dómini.
Fúit hómo mísus a Déo,
cúi nómen érat Joánnes,
ut testimónium perhíberet
de lúmine.
Sáncte Joánnes, óra pro nóbis.

Inter nátos mulíerum,
non surréxit
májor Joánne Baptísta,
qui víam Dómino
praeparávit in erémo.
Joánnes est nómen éjus.
Vínum et síceram non bíbet,
et in nativitáte éjus
múlti gaudébunt.
Sáncte Joánnes, óra pro nóbis.

Elizabeth, wife of Zechariah,
bore a great man,
John the Baptist,
the forerunner of The Lord.
He was a man sent by God,
whose name was John,
that he might present testimony
of the light.
Holy John, pray for us.

Among those born of women,
there has not arisen
a greater than John the Baptist,
who prepared the way of the Lord
in the wilderness.
John is his name.
He will drink no wine or strong drink,
and at his birth
many will rejoice.
Holy John, pray for us.
