Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 21
- XXI.
- In the name of life.
- Out of the Jordan I came up,
- I met the tribe of souls.
- I met the tribe of souls
- who embraced our father Šitil.
- They say to him:
- "By your life, our father Šitil,
- go with us to the Jordan River."
- "If I go with you to the Jordan,
- who will be a witness for you?"
- "If the sun has risen,
- it will be a witness for us".
- "This is not what I desire,
- this is not what my soul wants.
- The sun, of which you speak,
- rises in the morning, sets in the evening.
- The sun, of which you speak,
- the sun passes away.
- Yes, the sun passes away,
- its worshippers pass away".
- I came up out of the Jordan,
- I met the tribe of souls.
- I met the tribe of souls
- who embraced our father Šitil.
- They say to him:
- "By your life, our father Šitil.
- go with us to the Jordan".
- "If I go with you to the Jordan,
- who will be a witness for you?"
- "When the moon has risen,
- he will be a witness for us".
- "This is not what I desire,
- that is not what my soul desires.
- The moon, of which you speak,
- rises in the evening, sets in the morning.
- The moon, of which you speak,
- the moon passes away.
- Yes, the moon passes away,
- its worshippers pass away".
- I came up out of the Jordan,
- and there I met the tribe of souls.
- I met the tribe of souls
- who embraced our father Šitil.
- They say to him:
- "By your life, our father Šitil
- go with us to the Jordan."
- "If I go with you to the Jordan,
- who will be a witness for you?"
- "If the fire flames,
- it will be a witness for us".
- "This is not what I desire,
- this is not what my soul desires.
- The fire, of which you speak,
- goes out in its time (?) in the day.
- The fire of which you speak,
- the fire dies.
- Yes, the fire passes away,
- its worshippers pass away".
- I went up from the Jordan,
- there I met the tribe of the souls.
- I met the tribe of souls
- who embraced our father Šitil.
- They say to him:
- "By your life, our father Šitil,
- go with us to the Jordan."
- "If I go with you to the Jordan,
- who will be a witness for you?"
- "The Jordan with its two banks
- will be a witness for us.
- The Pihtā, the Kuštā and the Mambūgā
- will be witnesses for us.
- The Sunday and the almsgiving
- will be witnesses for us.
- The temple where we practice worship
- will be a witness for us.
- The alms in our hand
- will be a witness for us.
- Our father at our head
- will be witness for us".
- "This is what I desire,
- this is what my soul wants.
- "When I ascend to the house of life
- and go to the light dwelling,
- when life queries me,
- witnesses will come and testify.
- True witnesses they are,
- true is all that they say."
- And life is victorious.
