Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT FRI

Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart,
Als uns die Alten sungen,
Von Jesse kam die Art,
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht,
Mitten im kalten Winter,
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.

Das Röslein, das ich meine,
Davon Jesajas sagt,
Hat uns gebracht alleine
Marie, die reine Magd.
Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat
Hat sie ein Kind geboren
[Wohl zu der halben Nacht]¹.

Der is in roas ûntsprongen

Language: Frisian after the German (Deutsch)

Der is in roas ûntsprongen,
Al út in woartel tear,
Sa’t ús de âlden songen
Yn tiden fan alear,
En hat in blomke brocht,
Midden yn kjeld en winter,
Yn ’t midden fan de nacht.

It roaske, dat woe groeie,
Sa’t yn Jesaja stie,
En yn Maria bloeie,
In faam, sa rein as snie.
Nei God syn ivich plan
Hat sij in berntsje krigen,
Yn ’t midden fan de nacht.
