Hódie beáta Vírgo María
púerum Jésum presentávit in témplo,
et Símeon, replétus Spíritu sáncto,
accépit éum in úlnas súas,
et benedíxit Déum in aetérnum.

Respónsum accépit Símeon
a Spíritu Sáncto,
non visúrum se mórtem,
nísi príus vidéret Chrístum Dóminum.
Et accípiens púerum in mánibus súis,
grátias ágens,
benedíxit Déum in aetérnum.

Today the blessed Virgin Mary
presented the boy Jesus in the temple,
and Simeon, filled with the Holy Spirit,
took him in his arms,
and blessed God forever.

Simeon received an answer
from the Holy Spirit
that he would not see death,
unless he had first seen Christ the Lord.
And taking the boy in his hands,
giving thanks,
he blessed God forever.
