The Text in Latin

Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria ibant diluculo ad monumentum. Jesum quem quaeritis, non est hic, surrexit sicut locutus est, praecedet vos in Galilaeam, ibi eum videbitis, alleluia, alleluia. Et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum, orto jam sole: et introeuntes viderunt juvenem sedentem in dextris, qui dixit illis. Jesum quem quaeritis, non est hic, surrexit sicut locutus est, praecedet vos in Galilaeam, ibi eum videbitis, alleluia, alleluia.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went very early to the sepulchre. That Jesus whom ye seek, is not here : for He is risen, as He said : He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him. Alleluia, Alleluia. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun; and, entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting upon the right side, who saith unto them. That Jesus Whom ye seek is not here for He is risen, as He said : He goeth before you into Galilee : there shall ye see Him. Alleluia, Alleluia (English Translation).
