Text and translations

Latin text Magi veniunt ab oriente Ierosolimam quaerentes et dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est [Rex Judaeorum] cujus stellam vídimus? Vidimus stellam eius in oriente, et venimus [cum muneribus] adorare Dominum. [Pendant] Interrogabit magos Herodes quod signum vidissent [super natum regem?] Stellam magnam fulgentem cuius splendor illuminat mundum et nos cognovimus. [Vidimus] et venimus adorare Dominum

English translation The wise men came from the East to Jerusalem asking questions and saying: Where is he that is born [King of the Jews], whose star we have seen? We have seen that star in the East, and we have come [with gifts] to worship the Lord. Herod questioned the magi what sign they had seen [above the new-born king?] We recognised that brightly shining star whose lustre lights the world and us. We [have seen, and] have come to worship the Lord
