   PROBLEUMATA ENIGMATUM

   Probleumata Enigmatum          Veiled are the enigmatic problems
   Typorum Reclusorum             of hidden symbols
   Velata Stirpsque stemmatum     as are the origins of family trees
   ex Iesse manatorum.            that stem from Jesse.

   Per ampla orbis spacia         Across the vast space of the world
   hinc laudes sint Marie,        may Mary be praised,
   que facta dei gracia           who, by the grace of God,
   est genitrix Messie.           became mother of the Messiah.

   Produntur clare hodie          Today clarifications are brought forth
   et preterit figura,            and symbolism fades away,
   dum regem parit glorie         for Mary, the pure maiden,
   Maria, nympha pura.            gives birth to the King of Glory

   Per ampla orbis spacia...      Across the vast space of the world...

   Ex sobole Davitica             Lo, the Saviour has shone forth
   illuxit, en, salvator,         from the lineage of David,
   ex stella Iacobitica           from the Star of Jacob
   que deum presagatur.           that prefigures God.

   Per ampla orbis spacia...      Across the vast space of the world...

   Stirps Iesse virgam floridam   The tree of Jesse in fertility
   fecunde propagavit             put forth a flowering rod,
   que sine viro gravidam         indicating Mary
   Mariam designavit.             pregnant without a man.

   Per ampla orbis spacia...      Across the vast space of the world...

   PSALTERIIS ET TIMPANIS

   Psalteriis Et Timpanis         The bright voices of the faithful
   Resultat Vox Serena            resound together
   fidelium, et simbalis,         with psalteries, drums and cymbals,
   resultat vox serena.           the bright voices of the faithful resound,

   Nam nascitur de virgine        for the Virgin has given birth
   Ihesus, verus Messias,         to Jesus, the true Messiah,
   virili sine semine,            without a man’s seed,
   testatur ut Abdias.            as attested by Obadiah.

   O, flos Maria virginum,        O Mary, flower of virgins,
   clerorumque lucerna            and lantern of all the clergy,
   cunctorum, placa dominum       placate the Lord
   in curia superna.              at the celestial court (for our sake).

   PLAUDE, EUGE, THEOTOCOS

   Plaude, Euge, Theotocos,     Rejoice, hurrah, Mother of God,

   Salus hominum                Salvation of those
   in te confidencium!          who confide in you.

   Te laudantes inspice,        Look over those who praise you,
   miseros nec despice,         yet do not despise the wretched,
   sed misericordie             but look upon them
   oculis hos respice.          with merciful eyes.

   PSALMODIUM EXILERATUM

   Psalmodium Exileratum        Together, we shall utter
   Triphariali Resono           a harmony of truly joyful,
   Verum Stipantes dei natum    concordant, threefold psalmodies
   promemus vite consono,       for the newborn God of Life.

   Ut per ipsum a scelesti      So that we may be evermore
   liberemur scoria,            liberated from the slag of sins,
   et, defuncti, in celesti     and, after death,
   collocemur gloria.           come together in the celestial glory.

   molosis a sontibus,                     from the murderous hounds of hell,

   ut abs sorde sic defuncti               so that, thus cleansed, upon their death,
   tibi pie reddant cuncti                 they may all render you
   grates in celestibus.                   gratitude in the heavens.
