Original text and translations

Latin text

Descendit angelus Domini ad Zachariam,
dicens Accipe puerum in senectute tua:
Et habebit nomen Joannes Baptista.
Ne timeas, quoniam exaudita est oratio tua,
et Elisabeth uxor tua pariet tibi filium:
Et habebit nomen Joannes Baptista.

German translation

Der Engel des Herrn stieg hinab zu Zacharias
und sagte: Empfange einen Knaben in deinem Greisenalter!
Und er wird den Namen Johannes der Täufer haben. (...)
