Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 69


 * LXIX.
 * May peace and salvation prevail
 * on the way, which Adam built right,
 * rest and salvation prevail,
 * on the way, which the soul walks.
 * The soul loosed the chain,
 * it broke the bonds.
 * It took off the physical skirt,
 * It turned, saw him and trembled.
 * She spoke an evil curse
 * against the man who clothed her with the body.
 * She irritated the maker of the bodies
 * and woke him from the place where he lay.
 * She spoke to him:
 * "Get up, see, you image-maker of the bodies,
 * that your hollow hands filled with water".
 * It is the voice of the sculptor of the bodies
 * who weeps and howls over himself.
 * He speaks:
 * "Woe to me
 * that my hollow hands filled with water".
 * He speaks to her:
 * "Go in peace, you noble-born,
 * who was called a handmaid in the abode of the wicked.
 * Go in peace, you pure pearl,
 * who were taken from the treasure of life.
 * Go in peace, you fragrance-giver,
 * who made the stinking body fragrant.
 * Go in peace, you light-giver,
 * who illuminated the dark house.
 * Go in peace, chosen one,
 * pure, sinless, without fault".
 * The soul flies and moves
 * until it comes to the house of life.
 * When she came to the house of life,
 * Uthras went to meet her.
 * They said to her:
 * "Take, put on thy robe of splendor,
 * and put on thy resplendent garland.
 * Ascend, dwell in the Škīnās,
 * the place where the Uthras dwell."
 * Life is exalted and is victorious,
 * and victorious is Mandā d-Haijē
 * and those who love his name.
 * And praised be the life.
