Original text and translations

Latin text

Haec est virgo sapiens quam dominus vigilantem invenit,
acceptisque lampadibus sumpsit secum oleum
et veniente Domino introivit cum eo ad nuptias.

Audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam
quia concupivit rex speciem tuam
et veniente Domino introivit cum eo ad nuptias.
