LXIX.
May peace and salvation prevail
on the way, which Adam built right,
rest and salvation prevail,
on the way, which the soul walks.
The soul loosed the chain,
it broke the bonds.
It took off the physical skirt,
It turned, saw him and trembled.
She spoke an evil curse
against the man who clothed her with the body.
She irritated the maker of the bodies
and woke him from the place where he lay.
She spoke to him:
"Get up, see, you image-maker of the bodies,
that your hollow hands filled with water".
It is the voice of the sculptor of the bodies
who weeps and howls over himself.
He speaks:
"Woe to me
that my hollow hands filled with water".
He speaks to her:
"Go in peace, you noble-born,
who was called a handmaid in the abode of the wicked.
Go in peace, you pure pearl,
who were taken from the treasure of life.
Go in peace, you fragrance-giver,
who made the stinking body fragrant.
Go in peace, you light-giver,
who illuminated the dark house.
Go in peace, chosen one,
pure, sinless, without fault".
The soul flies and moves
until it comes to the house of life.
When she came to the house of life,
Uthras went to meet her.
They said to her:
"Take, put on thy robe of splendor,
and put on thy resplendent garland.
Ascend, dwell in the Škīnās,
the place where the Uthras dwell."
Life is exalted and is victorious,
and victorious is Mandā d-Haijē
and those who love his name.
And praised be the life.
