- XXVII.
- In the name of life.
- Through the treasure of life
- we were raised up and strengthened.
- Through Osar-Hai and Ptā-Hai
- came to us the unification from the house of life.
- Manda d-Haijē brought us with splendor in abundance and light in quantity
- our Mānā, our sign, our way, our Jordan, our baptism,
- our garment Hauran, our cover Hauraran, our wreath Hazazban.
- I call upon the mighty, alien, exalted Life, who is above all works, and say to Him,
- "Behold, behold, great Life:
- to You, for love of You, Life, we have descended to the Jordan,
- to You, for love of You, Life, we have taken our name and our sign
- from the great Jordan of Life
- and from the great container of healings
- by virtue of the truthful speech and raising of the Jōkabar-Zīwā."
- And the life is victorious.
