Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 75


 * LXXV.
 * In the name of the great life,
 * let healing and victory,
 * power and firmness,
 * speech and hearing
 * be granted to me NN from the side of life.


 * We confess and praise the mighty, alien, first, sublime Life,
 * which is above all works.
 * We want to offer head and mouth
 * to life and firm speech
 * to the treasure of light,
 * the great rest and support of life.
 * You we will praise, honor,
 * glorify, bless, strengthen.
 * Who shall praise you, who shall glorify you,
 * by the greatness of thy victories
 * You are praised, you are glorified,
 * you are honored, you are established.
 * You have come, you are coming,
 * besides you, no one has come.


 * At your splendor the horsemen were terrified;
 * at your light the gates and kingdoms were confounded.
 * When the Jordan saw you, it turned back;
 * the waves of the sea turned back.
 * The islands of the sea fell into confusion,
 * the vessels overturned and fell on their faces.
 * The cedars on Lebanon broke,
 * the mountains quaked and leaped like deer,
 * they opened (their mouths) and granted praise.
 * The hinds in the steppes cast forth their young.
 * The heights stand and speak in honor,
 * the earth shook and trembled.


 * Jordan,
 * whom did you look upon and turn back,
 * Waves of the sea,
 * why did you turn back,
 * Islands of the sea,
 * why did you fall into confusion,
 * Vehicles,
 * why did you overturn and fall on your faces,
 * Cedars of Lebanon,
 * why do you break,
 * mountains,
 * why do you tremble and leap like deer,
 * do you open your mouths and give praise?
 * Hinds of the steppes,
 * before whom do you cast your young,
 * ye high places,
 * before whom stand ye and speak in worship,
 * earth,
 * who sees you and are afraid?


 * The shine,
 * which is above the shining beings,
 * the light,
 * which is above the light beings,
 * the good man,
 * who penetrated through the worlds,
 * came, split the firmament and revealed himself.


 * When life looked,
 * it beheld the Tibil,
 * and its splendor fell
 * upon the roofs of their building.
 * They sit on the thrones of rebellion,
 * but they sank from their thrones
 * and fell on their faces.
 * It covered and took away
 * the shine of the worlds and aeons
 * and extinguished the flames of their lamps.
 * It set the eyes of the planets
 * in the depths of the earth
 * and the lower mists of darkness.


 * Rūhā raised her voice, screeched and cried:
 * "My father, my father, why did you create me?
 * My God El El, why did you remove me, cut me off,
 * and leave me in the depths of the earth and the lower mists of darkness,
 * that I have no power to ascend there?"


 * All rose up, prayed, and gloriously praised the mighty (life).
 * They let their voices resound to rich honor
 * and praised the splendor that came upon the shining being,
 * the light that came upon the light being,
 * and the good man who penetrated through the worlds,
 * split the firmament and revealed himself.
 * He separated the light from the darkness,
 * separated the good from the evil,
 * separated the life from the death.
 * He separated the friends of his Kuštā name
 * from darkness to light,
 * from evil to good,
 * from death to life,
 * and set them on the paths of Kuštā and faith.


 * You spoke to us with your language
 * and commanded us with your speech:
 * "Be you my brightness,
 * and I will be your brightness;
 * be you my light,
 * and I will be your light;
 * let my name be in your mouth,
 * and I will be with you."
 * It is you who overthrow the idols in their temples
 * and bring rebuke upon idolatry.
 * The idols buckled in disgrace by their way;
 * upon their temples came abundant reproach.
 * He fell upon them
 * and bound their splendor.


 * Great is the glory
 * in which Mandā d-Haijē clothed himself.
 * Blessed is that day of light,
 * praised the morning-seen
 * in which you set out from the worlds of light and came.
 * To the days was not counted,
 * to the months was not counted
 * except that day in which you revealed yourself from the light worlds.
 * The day on which you revealed yourself,
 * be revealed to all the friends of your Kuštā name.
 * Our naming, our request, our prayer,
 * our humility, our virtue, our knowledge rise up before you,
 * treasure of light, great rest and support of life.
 * Even if we step 7 times a day and praise your name,
 * your naming and your goodness, my Lord,
 * who shall praise you,
 * who shall glorify you by the greatness of your victories?
 * Shall the stinking body praise you or the vain tongue?
 * If our mouth were like the sea,
 * our lips like its waves,
 * our tongue like the rugged mountains,
 * then we could praise you, glorify you,
 * honor you, bless you.
 * You know it, who fears you from the heart
 * and who confesses you only: with the lips.
 * With a pure mouth you are blessed,
 * with a tongue of praise you are praised.
 * The pillars that do not waver praise you,
 * and the ophans of the Kuštā that do not change.
 * You are praised by the sons of salvation who dwell with you,
 * who are endless, countless and imperishable.
 * They shine through each other's brilliance,
 * among them all there is not hatred, jealousy and discord.
 * You are praised by the place
 * that is entirely made up of gates of splendor, light and glory.
 * You praise Abathur, the old, high, hidden, kept,
 * who sits in the row like life.
 * You Ptahil-Uthra praises and says to you:
 * "Blessed be you, my Lord Mandā d-Haijē, and praised.
 * Blessed be the great place from which you have come;
 * praised, glorified and honored be the great place to which you are going."
 * You are praised by the men of proven righteousness
 * who are from the lower Škīnās.
 * You praise your knowledge, your wisdom,
 * your insight, and your goodness.
 * You are come, you come,
 * and then you will reveal yourself.
 * It is you who are endless, countless and imperishable.
 * You are the Father,
 * you are the Brother,
 * you are the Son,
 * you are the Source,
 * you are the great Root of Life.
 * You are the first,
 * you are the last.
 * There is the One to come,
 * it is you who are to reveal yourself in the distance.


 * Remove from us your wrath
 * and draw near to us your grace.
 * Banish, push away, remove and destroy the angels of wrath,
 * ice and hail away from my ground and my house, the NN.
 * (As swiftly) as the eyes lower and the (celestial) wheels turn,
 * our petition, our prayer and our humility rise before you, Mandā d-Haijē.
 * What we have done, forgive us,
 * and what we do, forgive us.
 * The forgiver of sins, offenses, follies, stumbles, and errors
 * is you, Mandā d-Haijē.
 * If you, Mandā d-Haijē, do not forgive us our sins, offenses, follies, stumbles, and errors,
 * then who should stand blameless before you, Mandā d-Haijē?
 * We are slaves, the whole sins,
 * you are the Lord, who is whole forgiveness.
 * All hands stole before you, all lips lied...
 * No one is sinless before you, Mandā d-Haijē.
 * The worlds do not know your name,
 * do not understand your light.
 * O who eat and drink,
 * who quarrel and persecute,
 * who fornicate and pander,
 * who bow down to a vault and brick!
 * Day after day they sit on the thrones of rebellion
 * and persecute the name of life.
 * They did not learn the name of life
 * and they did not care about life.
 * We witnessed the life,
 * and to the life we had confidence.
 * Mandā d-Haijē was our support and help.
 * The worlds reviled and persecuted us;
 * do not despise us because of the...
 * of the worlds, judge us not according to the judgment of the worlds,
 * do not set us up with the guilty of the worlds,
 * and do not cut us off from life.
 * We spoke with the orders of life
 * and revealed hidden secrets.
 * The worlds reviled and persecuted us,
 * but you, life, receive from the hidden
 * the prayer that comes to you,
 * and may rest be established over your light.
 * You are our radiance, our brightness,
 * our strength, our succor, our illumination,
 * who revealed yourself to the first friends
 * of your name in rays of radiance.
 * We confessed your Kuštā,
 * may your light be cut off on us;
 * may we be with your victories
 * and be raised up in your Kuštā.
 * May the gods on high see us,
 * then succumb and be put to shame.
 * Clothe us with your splendor,
 * cover us with your light,
 * and show us the way
 * by which you have from the house of life.
 * Let us walk on it the way of true believing men,
 * so that our mind and soul may rest in the Škīnā of life,
 * in the propensity of life,
 * in the propensity of the 3 Uthras,
 * in the propensity of the Mandā d-Haijē,
 * the exalted among beings,
 * in the propensity of the 4 men,
 * the sons of salvation.
 * May peace be granted by you to our mind and soul.
 * Clothe us with thy splendor,
 * cover us with thy light,
 * set us up before you among the blameless,
 * not among the guilty,
 * among the perfect,
 * not among the deficient.


 * Mandā d-Haijē is your name,
 * Kuštā is your name,
 * victorious is your name,
 * glorified is your name,
 * honored is your name,
 * blessed is your name,
 * established is your name.
 * Victorious are you,
 * victorious is your name,
 * victorious are the speeches of the Kuštā
 * that come out of your mouth, above all works.
 * Make victorious and establish this my soul of the NN.
 * And life is victorious over all works.
