Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 76


 * LXXVI.
 * In the name of life.


 * Praise be to you, outer life,
 * who have settled outside the confined dwelling,
 * whose eyes are open to yours,
 * whose ears listen to your place.
 * Praises be given to that one great name of life,
 * which is above all names.
 * The name rests in the great place of light,
 * in the light dwelling, the city of Uthras,
 * the luminary, the greatest of luminaries,
 * from which all luminaries received their light,
 * all souls became victorious.


 * He stands by us to our strength,
 * he does not cut us off (from the path) to the house of our trust,
 * he finds himself with our souls for the house of purchase, for the day of judgment;
 * he finds himself with our souls for the great day of joy.


 * Praises be to the One who is all Uthras,
 * to the One who is all Prayers,
 * to the Being who came and settled at our boundary stone
 * erected before the outer life.
 * Life rested in his mouth,
 * whose praise is erected outside.
 * Let praise be given to the primeval, the son of the first, great life,
 * whom life created, prepared and sent out into the ages.
 * You came, opened the gate, paved the way, trodden the path,
 * erected the boundary stone and established the connection.
 * You were a helper, a guide
 * and leader to the great tribe of life.
 * You inserted him into the community with life,
 * built him into the great structure of truth
 * and brought him out to the great place of light and the shining dwelling.
 * O ye callers whom I have called,
 * O ye feeders whom I have nourished,
 * O ye builders whom I have built and brought out
 * from the midst of nations, borders and tongues,
 * behold, here I stand, behold, here I dwell.


 * You worlds, from which I take care,
 * if your words do not remain far from my face,
 * may you also take mountains for your food,
 * they will not suffice for your food,
 * may you also take seas (for your drink),
 * they will not suffice for your drink.


 * But if you stand before me as perfect
 * before the outward life
 * and before the shining dwelling,
 * then I will count you to my number
 * and reckon you to my account.
 * Early I will come, fly there
 * and reach the sons of my name,
 * the sons of my sign, the sons of the great tribe of life.
 * I will put you into the fellowship with the ...
 * I will integrate you into the community with life,
 * into the great structure of truth,
 * and bring you out to the great place of light and the shining dwelling.
 * If hatred, jealousy and discord will not be among you,
 * then the hand of... not seek among your garments,
 * you will not pass by the bridge guard,
 * you will not pass through a narrow street,
 * you will not stand before the judge,
 * you will not look upon the face of a litigant,
 * you will not look upon a perverse face,
 * the chief publicans will not question you,
 * rather you will go out and behold the one who makes souls whole,
 * who sets up in the paths of truth his perfect friends,
 * the great comrade of the faithful, the great... of the souls,
 * who goes out to meet you and clothes your soul with shining robes and good, pure light turbans,
 * which he brought you from the great place of light and the shining dwelling.


 * He brings you wreaths, a wreath of victories.
 * Each leaf of your wreath has a weight of 1080 plumb.
 * Its brilliance is greater than the brilliance of the sun,
 * and its brightness brighter than the brightness of the moon.
 * You will receive your robe,
 * you will receive your wreath.
 * Before the great ones you will be great,
 * among the Uthras you will be called Uthras.
 * You will open your eyes and see your judge.
 * Early the day will dawn for you with truth.
 * You will rise and see the outer ether and the great lamp,
 * which is all light,
 * which is erected before the outer life.
 * The life created them,
 * it equipped them and sent them out
 * into the ages and worlds.
 * Every soul who gives alms and establishes fellowship in apt manner,
 * you make perfect like Mānās,
 * you make luminous like the luminaries,
 * for the day of redemption,
 * for the day of redemption
 * and for the great day of joy, the almsgiving...,
 * meet you, lift you up, and show you the outer ether and the luminous abode,
 * the place where the primordial ones, the sons of the great tribe of life,
 * eat what is not reprehensible and drink what is not wine.
 * Well they eat and seek welfare,
 * then the Uthra of life comes and settles on them,
 * day by day, hour by hour.
 * Praise be to the glory of the pious,
 * to the being of men of proven righteousness,
 * to the foreign man who stands outside,
 * whose eyes are open
 * and on all the friends of his name of Kuštā.
 * It is you, Mandā d-Haijē,
 * who know in what the perfect is perfect,
 * what is in the excellent,
 * what the secure stands on.
 * Yes, when a word leaves the mouth of the perfect man,
 * you know it, understand it and teach about it
 * in the great place of light and in the luminous abode.
 * Not the mountain may boast of his strength,
 * not the hero of his heroism,
 * not the knight of his bow,
 * not the physician of his medicines,
 * not the just, wise man of the speech of his mouth,
 * unless an uthra of life comes and settles with your friends.
 * Those who seek with him, find,
 * those who ask of him,
 * to them are granted, day by day, hour by hour.
 * Look upon us, who stand by your name, who are uplifted by your naming.
 * We held to your great truth, we stood firm in your victories;
 * do not humiliate us, and do not throw us
 * into the power of the oppressors, the liars, the hypocrites and the reprobates.
 * Let not the oppressors afflict us,
 * nor the reprobates condemn our souls.
 * The good shall see it and find good,
 * the wicked shall collapse
 * and the children of the world shall be put to shame.
 * The perfect shall see that there is a life,
 * and lift up their eyes to the great place of light and the luminous abode.
 * You, Mandā d-Haijē,
 * calls the callers,
 * nourishes the nourishers,
 * edges the builders,
 * turns the forelocks,
 * makes the steps great,
 * straightens the way-stone,
 * and establishs the fellowship.
 * It is you who builds up and brings out
 * from the midst of peoples, borders and tongues
 * each one who is called, desired and invited.
 * To each one whose measure is full,
 * you are a helper, companion and guide
 * to the great place of light and the luminous dwelling.
 * If anyone has reached his measure and his body is still standing
 * to open his mouth,
 * to raise his voice,
 * to offer a prayer,
 * to raise praise
 * and to make the steps of his foot great,
 * then come your uthra
 * and settle down with your friends.
 * Spread your light over all the friends of your name of Kuštā.
 * You spoke with your speech and command us with your command: Your words
 * May my words precede your words.
 * At the raising of your right hand
 * my right hand shall be raised up with you,
 * you shall call and soon I shall answer you,
 * you shall ask with your hand and I shall not repel it with my hand.


 * Now we pray to you with a prayer of the Uthras
 * and ask you with a petition of the great ones
 * for us, our friends, the friends of our friends, the friends of the great tribe of life
 * and all the Nazirite of life that is filled and sown in the Tibil:
 * bring us of your splendor, multiply upon us of your light.


 * We want to enter with your splendor and go out with your light.
 * We want to ascend with your name, to raise us up with your naming.


 * Kuštā is your name,
 * Mandā d-Haijē is your name,
 * dear is your name,
 * glorious is your name,
 * blessed is your name,
 * blessed is your name,
 * victorious is your name,
 * victorious are the words of Kuštā that come out of your mouth,
 * and victorious are all your works.
 * And victorious is life.
