Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 96


 * XCVI.
 * Provided, well provided I am,
 * the Uthras of light have provided me.
 * I am provided,
 * the life has provided me,
 * I am well provided for,
 * the Uthras of light have provided for me.
 * They provided me with the travel nourishment of the Kuštā,
 * they equipped me with all their wisdom.
 * Because of what was Ptahil,
 * why did he create the world?
 * Why did the plan come into being
 * and did they take me out of my place?
 * They sent me to the world of impulses,
 * which is all full of knots and seals.
 * It is all full of fire,
 * sowed with thorns and thistles.
 * It is all full of deceit,
 * full of deceit and lies.
 * The planets that dwell in it
 * daily plot evil against me.
 * They plot evil against me and say:
 * We want to make his sense ambivalent.
 * From my heart, which is filled with Kuštā, they say:
 * we want to make it stumble from us.
 * Of my eyes that look up to the light, they say:
 * let them give (unchaste) winks.
 * Of my mouth that praises life, they say:
 * let it speak lies.
 * Of my hands that give alms (and offer Kuštā), they say:
 * they shall murder.
 * Of my knees that bow down to life, they say:
 * they shall bow down to the 7.
 * Of my feet that walk the paths of the Kuštā (and faith), they say:
 * they shall walk barefoot.
 * I lifted up my eyes to the height,
 * with my soul I hoped for the house of life.
 * When life heard my call,
 * it sent a companion to meet me.
 * The attendant who came to meet me
 * brought me a splendid robe.
 * He revealed splendor and showed it to me,
 * and I laid down the stinking body.
 * He took me by the flat of my right hand
 * and led me across the streams of water.
 * Over the water streams he led me,
 * he guided me and supported me on the image of life.
 * The life supported the life,
 * the life found its own.
 * Life found its own,
 * and my soul found what it hoped for.
 * Life is upheld and is victorious,
 * and victorious is the man who went here.
