XVI.
Before the eyes....
Before my heart....,
before you were,
I was already in the world.
It is the voice of the living water
that transforms the turbid water.
It swells and takes brightness,
it pours and throws away the turbidity.
What does the first one have
that he wishes for sons from the turbidity?
The voices are called out
and all speeches are counted out.
A voice comes
and instructs about all voices.
A speech comes
and teaches about all speeches.
A man comes
and teaches about this and that.
We who praise our Lord,
you will remit our sins and offenses.
You were victorious, Mandā d-Haijē,
and you helped all your friends to victory.
And life is victorious.
