Original text and translations

Latin text Jube domne benedicere. Noctem quietam et finem perfectum concedat nobis Dominus omnipotens. Amen. Fratres, sobrii estote, et vigilate, quia adversarius vester diabulus tanquam leo rugiens circuit quærens quem devoret, cui resistite fortes in fide. Tu autem Domine, miserere nobis. Deo gratias. Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini. Qui fecit cælum et terram.

English translation Bid, Lord, that a blessing be given. May the almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. Amen. Brethren, be sober, and stay vigilant, because your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking whom he may devour, whom resist, steadfast in the faith. But thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. Thanks be to God. Our help is in the name of the Lord. Who hath made heaven and earth.
