Sibylla Hellespontiaca

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Dum meditor quondam, vidi decorare puellam
Eximio castam, quod se servaret honore
Munera digna suo et divino numine visa,
Quae sobolem multo pareret splendore micantem
Progenies summi speciosa et vera tonantis
Pacifica mundum, qui sub ditione gubernet.

Kerran mietteisiini vajonneena näin...

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Latin

Kerran mietteisiini vajonneena näin neitsyttä kruunattavan.
Se neitsyt oli täysin tahraton, ja käyttääkseen kunnialla
lahjojaan ja toteuttaakseen jumalallisen tahdon
hän synnyttää meille pojan, joka säteilee loistossaan.
Tämä on Korkeimman valittu ja todellinen poika
ja hän julistaa maailmaan rauhan ja hallitsee sitä voimallaan.
