Denn also hat uns der HERR geboten: "Ich habe dich den Heiden zum Licht gesetzt, daß du das Heil seist bis an das Ende der Erde."
Porque así nos ha mandado el Señor, diciendo: Te he puesto para luz de los Gentiles, Para que seas salud hasta lo postrero de la tierra.
Car ainsi nous l'a ordonné le Seigneur: Je t'ai établi pour être la lumière des nations, Pour porter le salut jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre.
Perciocchè così ci ha il Signore ingiunto, dicendo: Io ti ho posto per esser luce delle Genti, acciocchè tu sii in salute fino all’estremità della terra.
Porque o Senhor assim no-lo mandou: Eu te pus para luz dos gentios, A fim de que sejas para salvação até os confins da terra.
因為主曾這樣吩咐我們: 『我已經立你作萬邦之光, 使你施行我的救恩,直到地極。』」
