Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 58

by Mark Lidzbarski

LVIII.

In the name of life.

Praised be the first life

and praised be the word of the first life.

Blessed be that brightness, light and glory.

Blessed be that light,

to which there was no limit, no end,

of which it was not known when it came into being.

Blessed be the Lord of greatness,

blessed be all the Uthras who stand on the right and left of the Lord of greatness and praise the Lord of greatness.

Blessed be my father Jāwar,

and blessed be all the Uthras who stand and praise my father Jāwar.

Praised be that great first Jordan, in which the first life was baptized.

Blessed are all the Jordan living waters.

Blessed be all the fruits, grapes and trees that stand by them.

Blessed be all the vast, upper worlds of light.

Blessed be all those Škīnās of concealment.

In every single Škīnā sit 1,000 times 1,000 Uthras without end and 10,000 times 10,000 Škīnās without number.

Praised be those 1,000 times 1,000 Uthras without end and 10,000 times 10,000 Škīnās without number.

Blessed be all those banners of splendor, light, and glory

that are stretched out before them and illuminate them.

Praised be the great gate of the house of Abathur,

praised be all the Uthras who stand with Abathur and praise him.

Praised be the 360 chariots that are placed before the ancient Abathur.

Praised be that great, first chariot, which is set up before the old Abathur.

Praised be that great, hidden, first drop from which it was created.

Blessed be all the Uthras who sit on the thrones of rest and recite hidden orders, masses and prayers.

Praised be those hidden orders, masses and prayers with which the great life is praised.

Blessed are those disciples who sit with them.

Blessed are all the mountains of splendor, light and glory.

Blessed are all the paths and ways of light.

First life! Fix your eyes on these souls,

which have been brought forth,

established and marked by this Mass,

as well as on the souls of our fathers, teachers, brothers and sisters

who have passed out of their bodies

and who are still in their bodies.

Deliver, save and preserve them

from this world of the wicked and these guard houses.

Your grace, great, first life,

be also bestowed upon you and say:

"The life stands firm in its Škīnā, the life is victorious".

Commentary

This is the strengthening of the prayers.

Consecrate the prayers of the mass.

Pray "We confessed" (= LXXV), "Praises" (= LXXVI), "You (Life)" (= LXXVI), "Lifting up the eyes" (= IX) and "I wanted to lift up the eyes" (= XXXV).

If you read about (several) souls, read what is written,

if the soul is one, say "direct your eyes to the soul of the NN".
