Original text and translations

Latin text Dicunt infantes Domino laudes, trucidati ab Herode, occisi praedicant, quod vivi non poterant; licuit sanguine loqui, quibus lingua non licuit; miscent cum Domino colloquia, quibus humana negata sunt verba.

German translation Die Kleinkinder sagen dem Herrn Lob, hingemetzelt von Herodes, erschlagen verkündigen sie, was sie lebend nicht konnten; es war [denen] vergönnt, mit dem Blut zu sprechen, denen mit der Zunge [zu sprechen] nicht vergönnt war; die vereinigen ihre Gespräche mit dem Herrn, denen menschliche Worte verwehrt waren.
