May God the Wise Lord be glorified! . . .

Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good. . . .

I confess myself a worshipper of God, a follower of the messenger Zarathushtra, one who hates the devils and obeys the laws of God;

For devotion, prayer, thanksgiving, and glorification unto God, the holy and master of holiness. . . .

1 To God the Wise Lord, bright and glorious, and to His holy angels;

To the Good Mind; to Peace, whose breath is friendly, and who is more powerful to destroy than all other creatures; to the heavenly Wisdom, made by God, and to the Wisdom acquired through the ear, made by God;

2 To Holiness, the fairest; to the much-desired Helper; to the instrument made by God; and to the good Fruition, with eyes of love, made by God and holy;

To the Kingdom of God; to the metals; to Mercy and Charity.

3 To the good Devotion, and to the good Righteousness, with eyes of love, made by God and holy;

To Wholeness, the master; to the prosperity of the seasons and to the years, the masters of holiness;

And to Immortality, the master; to fatness and flocks; to the plenty of corn; and to the powerful healing plant Gaokerena, made by God.

4 (At the morning prayer): To God the Friend, lord of wide pastures, and to the Pleasant Pasture.

(At the noon prayer): To God the Giver of Holiness, and to the Fire, His sign.

(At the afternoon prayer): To God, the tall Lord, and to water, made by God.

5 (At the evening prayer): To the souls of the faithful and to the females that bring forth flocks of males; to the prosperity of the seasons; to the well-shapen and tall-formed Strength; to Victory, made by God, and to the crushing Ascendant.

(At the dawn prayer): To the holy, devout, fiend-smiting angel of Obedience, who makes the world grow; to God the Most Just Judge and to Righteousness, who makes the world grow, who makes the world increase;

Be thanksgiving, with devotion, prayer, thanksgiving, and glorification!

Yatha ahu vairyo: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness. . . .

11 Let the sorcerers be crushed, O Zarathushtra! both devils and men.

Who is he in whose house, O Spitama Zarathushtra, every Falsehood is destroyed, every Falsehood perishes, when he pronounces these words:

13 It is he who takes refuge in God, with His seven holy angels, the all-ruling, the all-beneficent, as a shield against his enemies.

We give thanks to God for the Law of the worshippers of the Wise Lord; we give thanks for the waters coming like galloping horses, made by God.

14-15. He has renounced trespasses and faults, O Zarathushtra! he has renounced all trespasses and faults, O Zarathushtra! when he throws down the destroyer of the Good Mind and his words, with a hundred times hundredfold, with a many times manifold preaching and smiting, and he takes away the Law of God, that was carried away as a prisoner, from the hands of the ungodly, who are destroyed by his strength.

Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good. . . .

16 Yatha ahu vairyo: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness. . . .
