Original Text
Missus est Gabriel Angelus
ad Mariam Virginem,
nuntians ei verbum:
Ave Maria, gratia plena:
Dominus tecum:
benedicta tu in mulieribus.
Quae cum audisset,
turba est in sermone ejus:
et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio.
Et ait Angelus ei:
Ne timeas, Maria,
invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum:
ecce comcipies in utero,
et patres filium,
et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum.
Dixit autem Maria:
Ecce ancilla Domini,
fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. |
English Translation
The Angel Gabriel is sent
to the Virgin Mary,
announcing to her the Word:
"Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women!"
When she had heard this
she was troubled by his words;
and she pondered what kind of greeting this was.
And the Angel said to her:
"Fear not, Mary,
for you have found favor before God:
Behold! you will conceive in your womb,
and you will bear a son,
and you will call his name Jesus."
And Mary spoke:
"Behold! I am the handmaid of the Lord,
May it be done to me according to your word.
