Original text and translations

Latin text

Ego Dominus.
Hoc est nomen meum.
Gloriam meam alteri non dabo
nec aliud nomen in quo oporteat vos salvos fieri.

Quocumque detinemini morbo praeter nomen meum
et omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen meum salvus erit,
quia in gloriam meam creavi eum, plasmavi eum et feci eum.

Venite ergo ad me omnes qui laboratis et onerati estis
sarcina quantumvis gravi peccatis referta.

Verum tuebor quod nemo rapiet vos
e manu mea tum ut pupillam oculi mei custodiam
et in regnum meum perpetuum perducam.
Amen.
