Factus est repente de coelo sonus,
advenientis spiritus vehementis ubi erant sedentes,
alleluia;
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto,
loquentes magnalia Dei,
alleluia.

of a rushing mighty Spirit where they were sitting,

and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
speaking the mighty works of God,
alleluia.
