Sibylla Agrippa

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Summus erit sub carne satus clarissimus atque Virginis
Et vere complevit viscera sanctum
Verbum consilio sine noxa spiritus almi,
Despectus multis tamen ille salutis amore
Arguet et nostra commissa piacula culpa,
Cuius honos constans et gloria certa manebit.

Note for line 2, word 3: this could be a typo for "complebit"

Suurin ja rakkain on lihaksitullut Poika

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Latin

Suurin ja rakkain on lihaksitullut Poika,
Neitsyen kohdun täytti
Pyhän sanan mukaan, sitä vahingoittamatta Pyhä Henki,
Monet halveksivat häntä, mutta rakkaudesta hän
lunastaa suuret syntivelkamme.
Hänen maineensa on suuri ja hänen kunniansa iankaikkinen.
