Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Ab ortu solis usque ad occasum, magnum est nomen meum in gentibus.
Et in omni loco sacrificatur, et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda:
quia magnum est nomen meum in gentibus.
Venite comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis.

German.png German translation

Vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zum Untergang ist groß mein Name unter den Völkern.
Und an jedem Ort wird geopfert und meinem Namen das reine Opfer dargebracht:|}
denn groß ist mein Name unter den Völkern.
Kommt und eßt mein Brot und trinkt den Wein, den ich euch gemischt habe.

English.png English translation

From the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles,
and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation:
for my name is great among the Gentiles.
Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
