Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 17
- XVII.
- Trembling, trembling hasten away
- all you evil, narrow, angry spirits.
- Trembling, move away, shrink and disappear
- before the shine and the light of Manda d-Haijē,
- Piriawis-Zīwā and Piriafil-Malākhā
- strengthened the limbs of my body.
- I descend before these shining, resplendent souls of life,
- Šilmai and Nidbai fly near, approach, come near.
- Be you witnesses to these souls
- who descend to the Jordan and are baptized.
- You 4 Uthras, sons of light, Rhum-Hai, Īn-Hai, Šum-Hai, Zamar-Hai,
- be you witnesses to me on the great day of exit.
- You great Jordan of life,
- I invoke and swear you by the treasure of light,
- the great rest and support of life,
- grant no place to the fiends
- against these souls descending into you.
- Heal them in the name of the alien life from the [light] worlds.
- Life stands firm in its Škīnā,
- life is victorious.
