One who is led by Thy Holy Spirit and Thy love, his thought, word and deed are good and in tune with truth. He shall be granted perfection and eternity by Mazda Ahura through his strength and love.
One who led by Thy Holy Spirit lives the best life, his words shall be full of love and wisdom, and his hands shall fulfill the task of Armaiti through faith. His life shall be guided by one single thought that only Mazda is the source of truth.
Thou art indeed, O my Lord, the Holy Father of Wisdom. Thou hast created this joy-bringing Mother Earth. When people go towards Vohuman and consult with him Thou shalt grant them peace, O Mazda; and Armaiti or faith shall be the protector.
The wicked persons, O Mazda, who turn away from Thy Holy Spirit, they feel themselves ever-thwarted, but no truthful man shall ever act like that. The truthful person, though of small possessions and poor should be loved and respected, but followers of untruth, though of great possessions and power should be despised and regarded as wicked.
The righteous shall enjoy, O Ahura Mazda, the best gifts promised by Thee, through Thy Holy Spirit. However, the false ones shall remain afar from Thy love, since their evil deeds proceed from their evil minds which darkens with black clouds of wickedness their bright sky of soul.
O Lord of Life and Wisdom, through Thy Holy Spirit and Thy blazing Fire Thou shalt determine the fate of the two parties of righteous and wicked; and grant their respective recompense and penalty. By advancement of Thy fire of faith, truth and purity, O my Lord, the seekers of truth shall come to Thy Path.
Ultimately, on the day when truth conquers untruth, and when devils and their partners are unveiled of deceit and fraud forever, then Thy praise and devotion to Thee, O Ahura, shall increase, resulting in happiness and joy.
Before the struggle in my mind begins, tell me, O Ahura and assure me whether the righteous person shall overcome the follower of untruth? Such is Thy Plan, no doubt, which is the final and great victory in life.
The wise Lord of Life and source of goodness shall teach the wise and the righteous ones the best teachings, of which the mystic lover and teachers of philosophy are aware. Through wisdom and pure thought only, O Mazda, one can become Thy devotee.
One who makes his mind better or worse, O Mazda, his deed, word and conscience shall follow sure. The path selected by one's voluntary choice, his will and faith shall also follow the same and shall be in tune with them. According to Thy wisdom, O Mazda, their destiny shall be distinct from each other.
O Armaiti, do not allow the tyrants and that rulers rule over us, but let the good and just kings, guided by wisdom and good and clear understanding rule over us. Dedication to purity is best for man since his birth. We should toil for the Mother Earth and progress of the world, leading all the creatures on to the Light and the Truth.
She, Armaiti, is indeed our safe refuge. She brings the soul strength and life renewed, the true qualifications of the pure mind. Mazda Ahura has clothed Her, the Mother Earth, with vegetation, and has covered Her with food for people, since the dawn of life. Such is the wisdom of Mazda and the Eternal Law of Asha.
Keep hatred and anger far away from yourselves. Let nothing tempt you to violence. Hold on to love and good mind. Brilliant teachers, who wish to hold fast on to truth, shall lead the followers of truth to paradise, Thy abode, O Ahura, where the righteous people dwell .
My yearnings, O Mazda, is for Khashathra, Thy spiritual power, yet more, I yearn for the blessings from Thee, O Ahura, for my followers and band of devotees. How greatly welcome shall be Thy manifestation to the faithful followers of Asha through truth, enabling them to help the promotion of good deeds through Vohuman.
How shall I know, O Mazda, that Ye rule over all, even over those who menace me. Reveal to me, O Asha the pattern of Vohuman and Thy love. Inform me of the way of enjoying Thy blessings, since a Saoshyants or a prophet should be well aware of the compensation allotted to him.
When shall my friends arrives for spreading the faith, O Mazda? When shall they smite down the rotting mass of lie and greed from the world? The means by which the wicked Karapans (priests) falsely fascinate the people and the tyrant rulers rule over countries with evil intentions.
When, O Mazda, Asha together with love and faith towards God shall come towards us, bringing peace and security with themselves, through self-control? When blood thirsty and wicked tyrants rush, who shall stand firm against them, and to whom shall come the Wisdom of Vohuman?
The Saoshyants and Saviors of the world are indeed wise and follow duty's call guided by Vohuman. There deeds are inspired by Asha and on in tune with Thy teachings, O Mazda. They are, in truth, vanquishers of hate and anger and producers of love and peace.
O Mazda, the greatest barrier in my way is Bandva, who by misleading the people always feels contentment. Come towards me, O Forgiving and Kind Lord, and grant me strength, enabling me to overpower him through Vohuman and save him from going astray, enjoying the good rewards.
Indeed, the corrections of Bandva makes me anxious, since he teaches untruth and duplicity, keeping the people away from truth and purity. Never he shows love and faith towards God, and even not for a moment does he think of Thee with pure mind, O Mazda.
O my Lord, Thou hast laid down that truth shall prevail and is profitable, but untruth shall frustrate and is harmful. Therefore, it is hoped that people would commune with Vohuman and renounce all contact with untruth and its followers completely.
The evil-minded increase anger with their tongues which wag in gossip and cause envy and hinder the true workers. The doers of evil whose longing is not for good deeds are so tied up to untruth that they more resemble monsters wearing human shape.
One who through his inner urge and self-sacrifice links his own self with Vohuman, such a person enjoys love of God and is wise through Asha. With the above-mentioned qualifications, he shall ultimately dwell, O Ahura, in Thy Eternal Realm.
Earnestly do I urge Ye, O Mazda and Asha, to declare to me your Holy Plan, so that I may know the truth and reveal to the world that religion which has been inspired to me, O Ahura, by Thee.
May all listen with pure thought and bright conscience to my words carefully, O my Lord. Bear Thou witness, O Ahura, when I proclaim to men Thy holy words, so that the friends and the self-reliant (1) may live in accordance with Lord's Law, and may sets a good example for comrades and co-workers.
Grant to Frashaoshtra (2), O Mazda Ahura, the best blessings of Asha, namely the union with Him, and grant the same gifts to other people and my followers as well. May we serve the people through Khashathra, the spiritual strength, and may we be Thy sincere friends for all times.
Let the Helper who is born to deliver mankind from difficulties listen to these teachings carefully, that truthful persons should never think of association with the followers of untruth and wicked ones. Those who are faithful and with conscience, O Wise Jamaspa, they are combined with truth and righteousness, and shall, ultimately, enjoy the best reward or paradise.
With greetings to Armaiti, the symbol of faith, humility and inner wishes, I deliver to Thee, O Mazda, these precious gems, i.e. the souls of the pure-minded and righteous persons for Thy safe keeping, since Thou art the Great King and the Eternal Strength.
The souls of tyrant kings, wicked persons, evil speakers, evil thinkers and followers of untruth shall return to hell, or the abode of untruth, since their inner-selves have gone dim and have turned away from the light of truth.
What help shall come to Thy worshippers, O Lord, through Asha. Does Zarathushtra enjoy Thy help as well through Vohuman? I praise Thee, O Mazda Ahura, in my hymns and expect enjoying what Thou deemest the best.
Notes
(1) Please refer to Verse 1 of Hat 32.
(2) An intimate and faithful friend of Zoroaster and brother of Jamaspa.
From whom, would my soul enjoy any help, after my death? Who shall protect me and my friends and followers when in distress? O Lord of life and Wisdom, none but Thine Asha and Vohuman, symbols of Truth and pure thought, would solve my difficulty, when invoked sincerely.
One who always thinks of his own safety and profit, how can he love the joy-bringing Mother Earth? The righteous man that follows Asha's Law shall dwell in regions radiant with Thy Sun, the abode where wise ones dwell.
O Mazda, one whose guide in life is the spiritual strength of Khashathra and Vohuman shall surely reach Asha, the Source of Truth. Also, one who helps the progress and uplift of this world dominated by false ones shall receive the blessings of Asha, through the Lord's gifts.
O Ahura, by chanting praises, I would worship Thee together with Asha, Vohuman and Khashathra as well. I aspirant, will stand upon the path of Truth and catch the nodes which Thy lovers sing from Thy Abode on high.
O, Lord of Life and Wisdom, and O Asha, pour down blessings upon Thy Singer and Prophet in the shade of help and love, enabling him to guide us upwards to Thy Light and Eternal happiness.
O, Great Ahura, Zarathushtra, the lover of Asha, praise Thee loudly and anticipates that the Lord may always grant him eloquence of speech guided by wisdom. May the Creator teach and inspire me with the guiding principles of love through Vohuman.
O, the Guardian of freedom and worthy of praise, O Lord of Life and Wisdom, I shall gain entrance to Thy Abode with praise and shall join Thee through Truth and Pure Thought. Do guide me, O my Lord, and held me in my tasks.
O, Mazda Ahura, with chance that well up from my inmost heart, and with hands uplifted, I beseech Thee, O Mazda, and wish to approach Thee, as a faithful and humble friend, through truth and purity and wonder working wisdom of Vohuman.
O, Lord of Wisdom and Lord of Truth, I shall return to Thee, chanting these holy hymns by deeds performed through wisdom and pure mind. Being well aware of my destiny I eagerly yearn to attain Thy Wisdom which is ancient and supreme.
The deeds which I have performed during the days gone by and those that would be performed in future, may they all seem worthy in Thy sight. The shining of the sun and shimmering dawn of the days all reflect Thy Glory in accord with Asha, O Mazda Ahura.
I would consider myself to be your praiser, O Mazda, and as long as I possess the will and strength I shall tread the path of truth and shall be the praiser of Thee. May the Creator of the world fulfill the best wishes of the righteous people which is progress and reform of the world.
