Angilbert (fl. ca. 840/50), On the Battle Which was Fought at Fontenoy

The Law of Christians is broken,
Blood by the hands of hell profusely shed like rain,
And the throat of Cerberus bellows songs of joy.

Angelbertus, Versus de Bella que fuit acta Fontaneto

Fracta est lex christianorum
Sanguinis proluvio, unde manus inferorum,
gaudet gula Cerberi.

Puer Natus Est Nobis

Felix Nativitatem
Merry Christmas

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:

et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus
.

A child is born to us, and a Son is given to us:

Whose government is upon His shoulder:

and His Name shall be called, the Angel of Great Counsel.


Cantate Domino canticum novum: quia mirabilia fecit.
Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because He hath done wonderful things.

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:

et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus.


A child is born to us, and a Son is given to us:

Whose government is upon His shoulder:

and His Name shall be called, the Angel of Great Counsel.


Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum:
in conspectu gentium revelavit iustitiam suam.

The Lord has made known his salvation;

to all nations he has revealed his justice.

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:

et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus.

A child is born to us, and a Son is given to us:
Whose government is upon His shoulder:

and His Name shall be called, the Angel of Great Counsel.
