5 Yea, he who, as ruler, treats no coming applicant with injury, as a good citizen, nobly wise in sacred vow and duty, and living righteously in every covenant, who, as an uncorrupted judge, discerns the wicked, that leader who, rejecting me, would keep back those who propagate the Faith, let him, this righteous judge, declare the vengeance to that hostile lord, my kinsman. Yea, let him crush him when he sallies forth to approach us for our harm!

6 And he who leaves him in his guilty error has my curse. Yea, he who has the power, and will not thus, with stern reproof, approach him, shall go to the abode of the Lie, to Hell, where he is bound in chains. For he is evil who is the best one to the evil, and he is holy who is friendly to the righteous, as Thou didst fix the moral laws, O Lord!

7 Whom, then, as guard, O Wise One, hast Thou set for me, when that wicked one still held me for his hate? Whom had I then but Thee and Thy Good Mind, and Thy sign of light, O God, by deeds performed in which Thy righteous rule is saved and nurtured? Therefore, that spiritual power vouchsafing me for the holy Faith, its truths declare.

8 And as to him who now by evil power delivers up my settlements to harm, let not his burning wrath in deeds attain me. But bearing back the evil will and evil influence of such, let these things come back to him in anger. Let that come to his body which holds from welfare; but let no help at all approach him which may keep him back from misery. And let this happen as I speak in hatred of his wrong, O Lord!

9 But who is the freely helping one who will teach me foremost how we may adore Thee, Thou who art well to be invoked in Thy deeds, the holy, bountiful God? What words the Creator of the Kine spake for Thee, by aid of, and to aid, the Righteous Order of worship, these words of Thine, Thy people, coming with Thy Good Mind, are seeking now to gain and learn from me, O Wise Lord!

10 Whoever, man or woman, shall give to me those gifts of life which Thou hast known as best, O Wise One, and as a holy blessing through Thy Righteous Order, a throne established with Thy Good Mind, with these I shall go forth; yea, those whom I shall accompany and so incite to the homage of Thee on earth, forth to the Judge's Bridge itself with all of them shall I lead on at last.

11 And they and I have every need for help, for now the Karpan and the Kavi will join in governments to slay the life of man with evil deeds, they whom their own souls and their own conscience will cry out against. And when they approach there where the Judge's Bridge extends, unlike the believing ones of God, who go so firmly forth with me as guide and helper, these shall miss their path and fall; and in the Lie's abode for ever shall their habitation be.

12 But for the penitent there is yet hope; for all our former foes shall not thus fall from the Bridge to woe. For when, from among the tribes and kith of the Turanian, even among the more powerful ones of the Fryana, those shall arise who further on the settlements of Piety with energy and zeal, with these shall God be, through His Good Mind in them, and to them, for joyful grace, He will deliver His commands.

13 Yea, he who will propitiate Zarathustra Spitama with gifts midst men, this man is fitted for the proclamation, and to him God, the Wise Lord, will give the prospered life. And he will likewise cause the settlements to thrive in mental goodness. We think him, therefore, Thy good companion, to further and maintain Thy Righteousness, and meet for Thy approach.

14 But where is such an one? Whom hast thou, Zarathustra, thus, a holy friend for the great effort of the cause? Who is it who thus desires to speak it forth? Aye, such an one I have. It is our Kavi Vistaspa, the heroic; and not he alone, but all whom thou shalt meet in the assembly, O Wise Lord, these likewise will I call to my attempt, and with Thy Good Mind's words.

15 O ye Haechataspas, Spitamas! to you will I now address my words, since ye discern the things unlawful and the lawful, for you to establish firmly on its base the Righteous Order, through those which are the Lord's primeval laws.

16 And to the Hvogvas would I likewise speak. Thou, Frashaostra Hvogva, go thou forth with the generous helpers, with those whom we are praying for as for salvation to the land. Go thou where Piety joins hand in hand with the Righteous Order, where are the wished-for Realms of the Good Mind, to the Garden, the most honoured home chosen by the Wise Lord.

17 Where, in your measured verse, I will declare aloud the praises, not in unmeasured lines, Jamaspa Hvogva! but songs of homage will I weave, with ever-gained Obedience in offering. And unto the Wise One will I chant them, yea, to Him who will discern aright what things are lawful or unlawful which I thus do or utter, and who attends with His wonder-working thoughts of Righteousness.

18 For whosoever offers sanctity to me, to him shall be the best gifts whatsoever. Yea, of my spirit's wealth will I bestow on him, through Thy Good Mind, which I give; but oppressions will I send on him who as an oppressor will deliver us to anguish, O Wise One, desiring, as I do, to satisfy Thy choice by righteous vengeance. This is the decision of mine understanding and my will.

19 Yea, this I earnestly announce. He who from Righteousness in mind and life shall verily perform for me, for Zarathustra, that which is thus most helpful for my cause, according to my earnest wish and through my words of urgent zeal, on him shall God bestow rewards beyond this earth, with all the mental blessings gained through the sacred mother-kine. And these things all didst Thou Thyself command to me, O Wise One, Thou most wise!
