The fathers of the law, special men with authority,

teachers of the law, exhorters of justice,

under obscure concealment, knowing the future in advance,

That is created by the noble lineage of the patriarchs,

the foreseeing line of the prophets prophesy

the future Christ, that the condition of life to be repaired [by the vine]

Here are the fountains of Elim, here the twelve Eucharistic breads,

here the representation of Jacob, here so many gleaming gems.

In the order of twice six, rich in Christian teaching and authority

the apostolic fathers shine by means of yellowish gold.

NEMPE RIGANS SACIANS TENEBRARUM DEVIA VITANS

SICQUE DEI TRINI PER BIS DUO CLIMATA MUNDI

VERA FIDES PER EUM LONGUM FIRMATUR IN EVUM

Truly, imbibing, appropriating, shunning the errors of darkness,

this makes Sion solid which forms a harmony with triple strength.

And so, across two times two regions of the world of the Triune God

faith is strengthened for a long time through Him.
