Text and translations

Latin text Isaiah 55:7  Derelinquat impius viam suam et vir iniquus cogitationes suas et revertatur ad Dominum et miserebitur eius Joel 2:13  quia benignus et misericors est praestabilis super malitiam Dominus deus noster. German translation Der Gottlose soll seinen Weg verlassen und der ungerechte Mann seine Gedanken und soll zum Herrn umkehren und er wird sich seiner erbarmen, denn gütig und barmherzig ist der vorteffliche über die Bosheit, der Herr, unser Gott.

English translation Isaiah 55:7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him. Joel 2:13  For the Lord our God is gracious and merciful, and repenteth him of the evil. Hungarian translation Hagyja el útját az istentelen és gondolatait a bűnös ember! Térjen vissza az Úrhoz, aki megkönyörül rajta, mert jóságos és irgalmas, és legyőzi a gonoszságot az Úr, a mi Istenünk.
