Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 49


 * XLIX.
 * In the name of the alien life.
 * This is the splendor and light of life.
 * When the spirit and the soul leave the body
 * and the soul of life is clothed with the garment of life...
 * the image of life,
 * which came from the tear of life,
 * is in the external life,
 * in Hauraran-Karkawan-Zīwā,
 * in the treasure of light,
 * the great rest and support of life,
 * in the life, which came from life, the Kuštā,
 * which has always been in the beginning.
 * The life is in its Škīnā,
 * the great light in the victories.
 * When anyone leaves his body,
 * the 7 figures of the deity come to meet him,
 * and each one lines up with the one belonging to him.
 * The solver Saurēl comes,
 * who detaches the spirit and soul from the body,
 * he stands above those works with the robes of Jōzataq Mandā d-Haijē.
 * Hauraran-Karkawan-Zīwā takes away from the soul
 * what is in it of physical things is.
 * She dresses herself with the garments of Jōzataq Mandā d-Haijē.
 * Dress upon dress she puts on,
 * dress upon dress she puts on.
 * When she puts on the garments of Jōzataq Mandā d-Haijē,
 * she laughs, rejoices, skips, jumps,
 * is proud and well pleased with the glorious honor ... rests honor.
 * She walks in the clothes of Jōzataq Mandā d-Haijē.
 * When the planets beheld her from her place,
 * they were ashamed, clenched their fists,
 * beat the atria of their chests, and said,
 * "Woe to the planets that they were defeated
 * while the works of their hands were victorious."
 * Further they say:
 * "How beautiful is this splendor,
 * how bright this light,
 * how lovely this ornament,
 * how wondrous this image".
 * Further they say:
 * "Who will clothe us with this splendor,
 * who will cover us with this light,
 * who will put on us from this ornament,
 * who will pass something of this image on our face?
 * For beautiful, shining and bright it is,
 * and there are no works in this world like it".
 * They further say,
 * "How good is the Kuštā for the good
 * and Mandā d-Haijē for all the elect who stand in her body
 * and seek enlightenment in the name of life."
 * She walks in the robes of Jozataq Mandā d-Haijē,
 * she passes by those works,
 * by the hands of all planets.
 * I went and reached the guardhouse
 * of the old, high, hidden, kept Abathur.
 * There the scales are erected,
 * and before him spirits and souls are questioned
 * about their name, their sign,
 * their blessing, their baptism and what else is in them.
 * The soul of the NN entered the house of Abathur
 * and gave its name, its sign, its blessing,
 * its baptism and whatever else is in it.
 * The souls of our fathers are marked with the sign of life;
 * the name of life and the name of the Mandā d-Haijē is pronounced over them.
 * They were brought into the scales,
 * works and reward were brought in and weighed.
 * Of the perfect ones, the spirit entered with the soul,
 * and they were let out pure of sin.
 * They brought out splendor from the shine of Abathur
 * and clothed them with it,
 * brought light and covered them with it.
 * (The soul) puts on robe upon robe,
 * puts on robe upon robe.
 * When it puts on the robes of Abathur
 * it laughs and rejoices, leaps and jumps,
 * is proud and cheerful about the glorious honor ... rests honor.
 * She walks in the robes of Jōzaṭaq Mandā d-Haijē.
 * I went and arrived at the guardhouse of the 4 men,
 * the sons of salvation, Īn-Hai, Šum-Hai, Zīw-Hai, Nhūr-Hai.
 * Each one clothes the soul with his splendor,
 * each one covers it with his light.
 * Robe upon robe she puts on,
 * robe upon robe she puts on.
 * When she puts on the robes of the sons of salvation,
 * she laughs and rejoices, leaps and jumps,
 * is proud and cheerful about the glorious honor ... rests honor.
 * She walks in the robes of Jōzataq Mandā d-Haijē.
 * I went and arrived at the streams of water.
 * It covered the water.
 * The shining being penetrated,
 * his name rested in his Škīnā.
 * It called itself Expensive, Chosen.
 * It spoke:
 * "Life, I am yours.
 * Because of thy name I came from the world of Ptahil,
 * rom the midst of the evil plans and below the throne of old Abathur".
 * He goes out to meet this soul of the NN,
 * an effluence of the great splendor of life is he,
 * the man who rests above the Škīnās,
 * whose name rests over the Škīnās.
 * He grasps the soul by the flat of the right hand
 * and hands it over to the two Uthras,
 * the sons of light, Adatan and Jadatan,
 * of one knowledge, of one mind.
 * Adatan and Jadatan hand it over to the two Uthras,
 * Oṣar-Hai and Ptā-Hai, who create the creation of life,
 * plant the plantation of light
 * and found the first image of the house of life.
 * They raised her the arm of life,
 * they introduced her into the image of life,
 * they supported her in the place
 * where splendor flames like light.
 * The spirit of the NN went,
 * became like the soul
 * and found continuance in the house of the life.
 * And the life is victorious.
