L.
In the name of the great life,
be glorified the noble light.


Stand firm and steadfast with me, my acquaintances,
stand firm and steadfast with me, my friends,
stand firm and steadfast with me, my acquaintances,
like a pillar of stone in storms.
A storm wind may go,
a storm wind may come
my friends, do not change
(the speech of) my mouth.
The men who remain firm, live,
make an end, who turn away.
Those who turn away, die;
those who remain firm, find firmness.
My brothers! Speak in truth,
do not lie with lips of lies.
Do not be like the pomegranate
whose face is on the outside.
Its face shines on the outside,
but inside it is full of mold.
Be like the wine jars.
Which are full of Azmiuz wine.
Outside they are clay and pitch,
inside they contain Azmiuz wine.
The proclamation of life calls,
Ear of my chosen ones, hear me.


Life is held high and is victorious,
and victorious is the man who went here.
