The soul goes out,

her measure is full, and her time has come.

Full is her measure, come is her time,

and her eye is full of the Loosener.

Her eye is full of the Loosener,

and her heart is full of weeping.

Her heart is full of weeping,

and the Loosener accepts no bribe.

He accepts no bribe

and does not exchange the body for the soul.

The soul was loosed and led away,

she was set before the Judge.

The Judge questions her

about her sins and transgressions:

"What works have you done, soul,

in the world of deception in which you dwelt?"

"You are my witness, Judge,

that for my own sake I committed no wickedness.

I committed no adultery

and did not act according to the will of the wicked.

I committed no murder

and shed no blood of a son of Adam.

My head did not penetrate into the earth,

and my hands committed no theft.

I practised no sorcery

and did not torment the soul in the body.

I did not deliver the servant into the hand of his master,

nor the maidservant into the hand of her mistress,

nor did I bear false witness.

I moved no boundaries,

shifted no boundary stones.

My eyes gave no signals,

and my mouth brought forth no lie.

The soothsayers did not tell me truly,

and the deceitful astrologers cast no horoscope for me.

I did not eat a double almsgiving

and did not serve two lords.

To the poor I gave alms,

and to the blind I was a guide.

If I found a hungry one, I fed him,

and I filled the widow's pocket.

If I found a naked one,

I laid a garment about his neck.

If I found a captive,

I ransomed him and sent him back to his homeland.

I ransomed him, sent him back to his homeland

and provided him with provision for the road.

With the sick I went up to his bed,

with the dead I went to the burial ground." —

"If these are your works, soul,

let your witnesses come and testify."

While the soul still stood before the Judge,

her witnesses flew near and came to her.

The Jordan and its two banks

testified for the soul.

The baptism with which she had been baptized,

the sacred bread, the Kushta and the sacred cup

testified for the soul.

Wage and almsgiving (and the baptism)

testified for the soul.

They took the soul by the palm of the right hand,

lifted her up and set her upright in the house of perfection,

at the place whose sun does not set

and whose lamps of light do not grow dark. —

God is held high and is victorious,

and victorious is the man who went here.

In old age wings were formed for her,

she sprang forth and sat in a cloud of splendour.
