Original text and translations

Latin text:

Magi viderunt stellam, qui dixerunt ad invicem: hoc signum magni Regis est; eamus et inquiramus eum, et offeramus ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham, alleluia. (Magnificat antiphon, First Vespers, Epiphany)

English translation

The wise men saw the star, and they said to each other: this is the sign of the great King; let us go and seek him, and offer him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, alleluia.
