Adorna thalamum tuum, Sion

Language: Latin

Our translations: DUT DUT

Adorna thalamum tuum, Sion, 
et suscipe Regem Christum:
amplectere Mariam, quae est coelestis porta:
ipsa enim portat Regem gloriae novi luminis.

Subsistit Virgo adducens manibus 
Filium ante luciferum genitum:
quem accipiens Simeon in ulnas suas 
praedicavit populis Dominum eum,
esse vitae et mortis, et Salvatorem mundi.

Adorn thy bridal chamber, O Sion

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin

Adorn thy bridal chamber, O Sion, 
and receive Christ the King:
embrace Mary, who is the gate of heaven,
who herself truly brings the glorious King of new light.

She remains a virgin, though bearing in her hands 
a Son begotten before the daystar,
whom Simeon, taking him in his arms, 
proclaimed to the people to be the Lord 
of life and death, and Saviour of the world.
