Text and translations

Latin text Suscipe verbum Virgo Maria Quod tibi a Domino Per angelum transmissum est Concipies et paries Deum pariter et hominem Ut benedicta dicaris inter omnes mulieres. Paries quidem filium & virginitatis non patieris detrimentum Efficieris gravida Et eris mater semper intacta Ut benedicta dicaris inter omnes mulieres.

English translation Receive the word, Virgin Mary, which was given to you by the Lord through the angel. You will conceive and bear a son who shall be both God and Man. So you will be called blessed among all women. You shall indeed bear a son And not suffer the loss of virginity, made pregnant yet you will be a mother always intact. So you will be called blessed among all women.
