- XLV.
- Your name is exalted, life,
- great is the glory, rich is the light.
- The Good One penetrated,
- the Founder of the first Mystery,
- the Life that became from the Life,
- the Kuštā that was from time immemorial at the beginning.
- This is the spring of life,
- which bubbled up from the place of life,
- so that we drink from this spring of life.
- He penetrated through life,
- founded life and sustained in the house of life.
- He penetrated through the worlds,
- came, split the firmament and revealed Himself.
- You showed us what no eye has seen,
- you made us hear what no human ear has heard.
- You brought us out of death and connected us with life,
- you brought us out of darkness and connected us with light,
- you brought us out of evil and connected us with good.
- You showed us the way of life
- and made us walk the paths of truth and faith.
- Let life come and displace death,
- let light come and displace darkness,
- let the good come and displace the evil.
- As the wine mingles with the water,
- so mingle your truthfulness, your righteousness and your faith
- with all who love your Kuštā name.
- And blessed be the life.
Commentary
edit- This is a piece for drinking.
- Make Pihtā and Mambuhā
- and put them down for the mass.
- Then make the myrtle wreath.
