Original text and translations

Latin text

Periti autem fulgebunt ut fulgor aethereus.

Quique multos reddiderunt justos erunt stellarum similes,

in omnem aeternitatem.

English translation

(King James Bible; Daniel 12:3)

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;

and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars

for ever and ever.

Deutsch text

Es strahlen hell die Gerechten, sie leuchten im Glanz des Herrn

Die getreu gedient auf Erden, sie werden sein den Sternen gleich,

sie sollen erhöhet werden.
