Cum esset desponsata mater Jesu Maria Joseph,
ante quam convenirent
inventa est in utero habens,
quod enim in ea natum est de Spiritu Sancto. (Matthew 1:18)
Alleluia, alleluia.

English translation

When Mary, the mother of Jesus, was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together,
she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost.
Alleluia, alleluia.
