Sibylla Samia

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Ecce dies, nigras quae tollet laeta tenebras,
Mox veniet solvens nodosa 
volumina vatum Gentis Judaeae.
Referent, ut carmina plebis
Hunc poterunt clarum virorum tangere regem,
Humano quem virgo sinu inviolata fovebit.
Annuit hoc coelum, rutilantia sidera monstrant.

Sibylle de Samos

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Voici le jour, qui enlèvera joyeusement les ténèbres noires,
Il viendra bientôt, résolvant 
les volumes compliqués des prophètes
De la race de Judée, les chants du peuple rapportent
Qu'ils pourront toucher ce brillant roi des vivants,
Qu'une vierge intacte réchauffera sur son sein humain.
Le ciel l'indique par un signe, les étoiles éclatantes le montrent.
