Prayer against evil spirits

Mark Lidzbarski3807048Mandaïsche Liturgien — Prayer 151920Wikisource
XV.
Bound be the sea, bound be the two shores of the sea,
bound be the Dews, demons, piqdia spirits, net spirits and the furious amulet spirits.
Bound be the 360 mysteries that are in the house.


Bound and sealed be I NN and these souls who descend to the Jordan
and are baptized with the seal of the mighty alien life,
by the great Mā,
by the great Jā,
by the great Az,
by the great Aziz,
by the great As,
by the great Asin
and by the sea of As.


Bound be all the priests,...,
taunters and draughtsmen,
the 7 mysteries that are in the sea,
every Dēw by his name,
every demon by his name...;
Every amulet spirit and idol that lifts up its head,
makes the waves of its countenance soar high,
exudes arrogance against the strange man,
if then they also look toward these souls going to Jordan with evil intent,
he shall be smitten and afflicted by Jāhā, Jāhā, Zhā, Zhā,
and by the angels that were sent and came against them.


Trembling hasten away from them
and from the splendor that is great in them.
Trembling, trembling hasten away.
7 iron walls are placed around me NN,
which Haijašum, the first Kuštā, placed around himself.


And life is victorious.
