Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 92

by Mark Lidzbarski

XCII.

In the name of life.

Go in peace, elect, pure,

sinless, without blemish.

You have chosen your place out of the Tibil,

and your lot has leaped out of the aeons.

Out of the aeons is your lot,

above all the world you stand.

You said, chosen one, pure one:

I am a seer, a discerner.

I am a seer, a discerner,

and the worlds are gathering for judgment.

The worlds gather for judgment,

and justice is done to them.

Justice is done to them

who have not practiced the works of a true man.

You alone, chosen one,

pure one, shining Mānā,

you will not go to the court, you will not be judged.

Justice will not be done to you,

since you have practiced the works of a true man.

What they endure and tolerate (here),

O, chosen one, will not find before you.

Escape from the power of the planets,

of the rulers of this world.

Take, put on your robe of splendor

and put on your resplendent wreath.

Bend thy body, bow down and stretch out,

and praise the mighty life.

Praise the place of life

to which your fathers go.

You, chosen one, would not come from here,

and not from here is your planting planted.

Your place is the place of life,

your dwelling is the light dwelling.

A throne of rest is set up for you,

where ardor and anger are not.

For you is kept a girdle where...

and error is not.

Good, go up to the house of life,

go to the light dwelling.

Between the lamps of light

Your lamps shall be pulled up and shine.

In your time and appointment,

rise up and see the place of light.

Life is held high and is victorious,

and victorious is the man who has gone here.
