To God and His Bountiful Immortals, and the Institutions of Religion.

1 I would give thanks to God with my offering for these, the Bountiful Immortals, who rule aright, and who dispose all aright, and Him especially I would approach with my praise, the Wise Lord. He is thus hymned in our praise-songs. Yea, we worship in our offering that Lord, who is the Wise Lord, the Creator, the gracious helper, the maker of all good things; and we honour in our offering Zarathustra Spitama, that chieftain of the rite.

2 And we would declare those institutions established for us, exact and undeviating as they are. And I would declare forth those of the Wise Lord, those of the Good Mind, and of Righteousness the Best, and those of the Realm to be desired, and those of the Bountiful Piety within us, and those of Weal and Immortality, and those which appertain to the body of the cattle, and to the soul of the cattle, and those which appertain to the fire, the sign of the Wise Lord, (3) and those of blessed Obedience, and of Justice the most just, and those of Friendship of the wide pastures, and of the good and holy Wind, and of the good religion of those who worship the Wise Lord, and of the good and pious prayer for blessings, and those of the good and pious prayer which frees one from belying, and the good and pious prayer for blessing against unbelieving words. 4. And these we would declare in order that we may attain unto that speech which is uttered with true religious zeal, or that we may be as prophets of the provinces, that we may succour him who lifts his voice for the Wise Lord, that we may be as prophets who smite with victory, the befriended of the Wise Lord, and persons the most useful to Him, holy men indeed who think good thoughts, and speak good words, and do good deeds. 5. That he may approach us with the Good Mind, and that our souls may advance in good, let it thus come; yea, "how may my soul advance in good? let it thus advance."

6 We praise the flood and ebb of the good waters, and their roar, and that high Lord, the royal Giver of the waters, the glittering one, of the fleet horses; and this for the worship, and homage, and propitiation, and praise of the entire holy creation; and may Obedience be here to aid us. 7. Yea, we give thanks to God for Obedience the blessed.
