Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 17


 * XVII.
 * Trembling, trembling hasten away
 * all you evil, narrow, angry spirits.
 * Trembling, move away, shrink and disappear
 * before the shine and the light of Manda d-Haijē,
 * Piriawis-Zīwā and Piriafil-Malākhā
 * strengthened the limbs of my body.
 * I descend before these shining, resplendent souls of life,
 * Šilmai and Nidbai fly near, approach, come near.
 * Be you witnesses to these souls
 * who descend to the Jordan and are baptized.
 * You 4 Uthras, sons of light, Rhum-Hai, Īn-Hai, Šum-Hai, Zamar-Hai,
 * be you witnesses to me on the great day of exit.
 * You great Jordan of life,
 * I invoke and swear you by the treasure of light,
 * the great rest and support of life,
 * grant no place to the fiends
 * against these souls descending into you.
 * Heal them in the name of the alien life from the [light] worlds.
 * Life stands firm in its Škīnā,
 * life is victorious.
