It is time to pray the "Devotions" The great moment for humble worship For offering up propitiatory prayer
To my lord, Manda-d-Hiia, For arousing the elect righteous. The priests say to Manda-d-Hiia:
"We will abjure that which we possess Of fee, alms and benefit And the (false) deity of the House We will come and will be believers."
Manda-d-hiia saith to them, to the priests:
"Your Father hath great strength, Surpassing all limit, (stronger) Than passionate thoughts, vain things And the devouring flame.
The Good One clotheth His children He covereth them and raiseth and showeth them That there is great enlargement of Life And your souls shall rejoice With clouds (spouses?) of light.
But other souls will die and become As though they had never existed.
Ye shall receive your vestments Ye shall receive your wreaths.
In the presence of the Great (Life?) Ye will be great, and will be called 'Uthras amongst the 'uthras.
And ye will say "The Living stand In the dwelling of the Life"
And Life is victorious over all works.
