Original text and translations

Latin text Egipte noli flere, quia dominator tuus veniet tibi, ante cujus conspectum movebuntur abyssi, liberare populum suum de manu potentis. Ecce veniet Dominus exercituum Deus tuus cum potestate magna liberare populum suum de manu potentis.

English translation Weep not in Egypt, for thy Lord shall come unto thee, before whose face the depths shall tremble, to deliver his people out of the hand of the mighty. Behold, the Lord of hosts thy God shall come with great power, to deliver his people out of the hand of the mighty.
