Translation:Qolasta/Oxford Collection/Part 1/Prayer 12

by Mark Lidzbarski

XII.

In the name of the great life.

I honor, glorify and praise Srar,

that great, hidden, first vine

that bears 1,000 times 1,000 fruits

and 10,000 times 10,000 tendrils.

I called him and he heard me,

again I will call him, and he will hear me,

that he may come and heal me,

that he may lift me up,

strengthen me and raise me up,

that he may raise up for me

my eyes into light,

my feet into steadfastness,

my mouth into wisdom,

my heart into enlightenment.

Furthermore, I honor, glorify and praise

that great, hidden, first Škīnā

of the house of the shining beings.

Further, I adore, glorify, and praise

that great, hidden, first Škīnā

in which my ancestors sit.

Further, I revere, glorify, and praise

Rwaz, that great, first vine that...

left waters in the abodes.

Further, I honor, glorify, and praise

Rwaz, that great, first light,

who is established as ruler over the light worlds.

Further, I honor, glorify, and praise

that great, hidden, first Škīnā,

to which the eyes of the Nāsōraeans, priests, and men of proven righteousness look up

to behold the great place of light and the shining abode.

And the life is victorious.

Commentary

Perform this prayer at the prayer of the seventh hour after the incense and after "On the light of the ether I stand".
