Latin text
Viri Galilaei, quid statis aspicientes in coelum?
Hic Jesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in coelum,
sic veniet, quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in coelum. Alleluja.
Ascendit Deus in jubilatione, et Dominus in voce tubae. Alleluja.
Dominus in coelo paravit sedem suam. Alleluja.
English translation
Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven?
This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven.
God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet. Alleluia.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven. Alleluia.
French translation
Hommes de Galilée, pourquoi arrêtez-vous à regarder au ciel?
Ce Jésus, qui, en se séparant de vous s'est élevé dans le ciel,
viendra de la même manière que vous l'y avez vu monter. Alleluia.
Dieu s'est élevé parmi les chants joyeux et le Seigneur est monté au son de la trompette. Alleluia.
Le Seigneur au ciel a préparé son trône. Alelluia.
German translation
Ihr Männer von Galiläa, was steht ihr da und schaut zum Himmel empor?
Dieser Jesus, der von euch ging und in den Himmel aufgenommen wurde,
wird ebenso wiederkommen, wie ihr ihn habt zum Himmel hingehen sehen. Alleluja.
Gott stieg empor unter Jubel, der Herr beims Schall der Hörner. Alleluja.
Gott sitzt aus Seinem heiligen Thron. Alleluja.
Spanish translation
Varones galileos, ¿por qué estáis mirando al cielo?
Este mismo Jesús, que ha sido tomado de vosotros al cielo,
así vendrá como le habéis visto ir al cielo. Aleluya.
Subió Dios con júbilo, Jehová con sonido de trompeta. Aleluya.
Jehová estableció en los cielos su trono. Aleluya.
