Original text and translations

Latin text Maria stabat ad monumentum foris, plorans. Dixit: Tulerunt Dominum meum, et nescio ubi posuerunt eum. Dicunt ei angeli: Mulier, quid ploras? Surrexit sicut dixit: praecedet vos in Galilaeam; ibi eum videbitis. Alleluia. Congratulamini mihi omnes qui diligitis Dominum, quia quem quaerebam apparuit mihi; et dum flerem ad monumentum, vidi Dominum Jesum meum. Alleluia.

English translation Mary stood outside the tomb, weeping. She said: They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. The angels said to her: Woman, why are you weeping? He has risen, as he said: he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him. Alleluia. Rejoice with me, all you who love the Lord, for the one I was seeking has appeared to me; and while I was weeping at the tomb, I saw my Lord Jesus. Alleluia.
