> sitievtes venite ad fontem vobis obviam veniet laeta multitudo

Sitio - I thirst, I think sitievtes = Those who are thirsty
venite - O come, come
ad fontem - to the fountain
vobis - to you
obviam - on the way
veniet - he/she/it will come
laeta - joyful, joy
multitudo - multitude
I'm going to dig out my dictionary to double check, but that's basically it,
so I reckon:
'Come to the fountain, you who are thirsty; on the way will come many joys.'
