Translation:Qolasta/Oxford Collection/Part 1/Prayer 14


 * XIV.
 * In the name of the great life
 * be glorified the noble light.


 * On Sunday, the head of the days,
 * Who saw what I saw?
 * Who saw Mandā d-Haijē,
 * who went and came into the world?
 * He went and came into the world,
 * the earth lies there and trembles.
 * He carries forward, his voice is sweet,
 * and he raised up speech in his mouth.
 * He set up the speech in his mouth,
 * he threw the world over the heap and left it.
 * He threw over the heap and left the world,
 * Rūhā therefore sits mourning.
 * Grieving, Rūhā sits there,
 * the Seven sit there in confusion.
 * They weep and long their lamentation,
 * because their secret has been revealed.
 * Because their secret has been revealed,
 * they will come to an end on the great day of the end.
 * Namrus feared and was afraid;
 * her weapons fell from her shoulder.
 * From her shoulder fell her weapons,
 * the bows from her palm.
 * Rūhā speaks to her sons,
 * she speaks to the vain fiends:
 * "My sons! If fear befalls your mother,
 * what will you seven do?
 * When the strange man comes,
 * who will confront him?"
 * A mace of splendor is in the hand of Mandā d-Haijē,
 * he approaches the rebels and throws them down.
 * Bar-Haijē [the Son of Life] raised his voice
 * and spoke to.... of the seven:
 * "I have brought merchandise to my friends,
 * truthful words to the believers.
 * To the men who buy my merchandise,
 * their merits will be wound around their heads.
 * Their merits will be wound around their heads,
 * and they shall ascend,
 * beholding the place of light".


 * The life is held high and is victorious,
 * and victorious is the man who went here.
