Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 43
- XLIII.
- You stand firm, first life,
- before which no one was there,
- alien from the worlds of light, sublime,
- which above all works, above the ancient splendor,
- above the first light, above the life that came from life,
- above the Kuštā that has always been at the beginning.
- You stand firm, Mandā d-Haijē, for your chosen ones.
- This is what you have revealed to us
- from the book of Nhūr,
- from the treasure of Ptā,
- from the first treasure
- and from the treasure of light.
- Great rest and support of life,
- which shines by its light and whose light illuminates.
- He became, was created and became full,
- he went forth with great power and became mighty through the greatness of knowledge.
- He became great in splendor, full of light
- that came from the tear of life, of wondrous form, firm.
- The worlds were ashamed
- that no one saw his form, his splendor and his glory.
- Kuštā stands firm for her friends,
- Mandā d-Haijē for his chosen ones.
- You have chosen us and taken us out of the world of hatred, jealousy and discord,
- set us up on the paths of Kustā and faith,
- so that we may stand and praise the hidden and kept place.
- Whoever takes from this Pihtā and this creation will be
- sinless in the place of light and the shining dwelling.
- And life is victorious.
Commentary[edit]
- These are pieces of the Pihtā.
