²The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. ⁵The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations.

⁶and so he has said: “It is a small thing that you should be my servant so as to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and so as to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have offered you as a light for the Gentiles, so that you may be my salvation, even to the furthest regions of the earth.”

²⁶And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,

¹Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you. ²And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed. ³I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

⁸When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the limits of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

²⁸All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.

¹⁹Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age.”

⁵May the nations rejoice and exult. For you judge the peoples with equity, and you direct the nations on earth.
