Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 45


 * XLV.
 * Your name is exalted, life,
 * great is the glory, rich is the light.
 * The Good One penetrated,
 * the Founder of the first Mystery,
 * the Life that became from the Life,
 * the Kuštā that was from time immemorial at the beginning.
 * This is the spring of life,
 * which bubbled up from the place of life,
 * so that we drink from this spring of life.
 * He penetrated through life,
 * founded life and sustained in the house of life.
 * He penetrated through the worlds,
 * came, split the firmament and revealed Himself.
 * You showed us what no eye has seen,
 * you made us hear what no human ear has heard.
 * You brought us out of death and connected us with life,
 * you brought us out of darkness and connected us with light,
 * you brought us out of evil and connected us with good.
 * You showed us the way of life
 * and made us walk the paths of truth and faith.
 * Let life come and displace death,
 * let light come and displace darkness,
 * let the good come and displace the evil.
 * As the wine mingles with the water,
 * so mingle your truthfulness, your righteousness and your faith
 * with all who love your Kuštā name.
 * And blessed be the life.

Commentary

 * This is a piece for drinking.
 * Make Pihtā and Mambuhā
 * and put them down for the mass.
 * Then make the myrtle wreath.
