At the gate of the house of perdition

a throne is set up for the spirit.

For the spirit a throne is set up,

before him a vessel is set up.

He calls to the thieves:

"Come, fall into the vessel.

Come, fall into the vessel,

come, become clear.

Come, become clear

about what you practised in the world." —

He calls to the murderers:

"Come, fall into the vessel.

Come, fall into the vessel,

come, become clear.

Come, become clear

about what you practised in the world."

"Good One, we have sinned and erred,

may He forgive us all our sins.

May He forgive us our sins and transgressions

that we committed in the world."

Then a voice of the Living God called:

"An ear that is watchful hears.

Many heard and revived,

many wrapped themselves up and lay down to sleep." —

The Living God is exalted and victorious,

and victorious is the man who went this way.
