the sinner [is] the prison [of] the bad
smelling and stinking offspring,
the poverty of the dead, and the dark place
of sleepers,
the treasure-house and store-house which
he made in/ through deception and
arranged
each dark (demon) Wrath, (he) exhausted
the flood of the sin,
formed in his store-house brick, clod and
stone
78
whoever made himself for himself, so that
he ascends to them and finds rest
the store-house which he shows (from)
above: the offspring (were) primeval in the
beginning
the citizens and every town should strive for
this that they can do it.
about this fleshly layer, the store-house
which (he) made at first
the primeval ones told a fable and do not
know these last ones.
all the religions run (in) deceit and they go
astray from the righteousness
they do not distinguish the freed ones and
the bound in truth
it was rusty and dark, they run in a brutish
mannar in the land.
with Lust they were deceived as well with
trickery of the Wrath
they proclaim the name/world “flood,”
meaning the world is lost in the flood.
waterfall came (from) above, spring gushes
out (from) below
all religions are oppressed...
in the lands of Desire and...
they are separately divided...
because the Wraths are distributed and...
so that they did not lift up (their) heads from
the deep water (?) ...
they do not reach the ship, which rescues
the friends.
they howl and call out/shriek, they bite one
another like dogs.
they terrify one another and they got drunk
with deception
they made a friend of death; they left the
holy (pure) life.
in this dark abode, they seem to be very
peaceful at all times.
they sink and turn back, they ascend, they
descend and are reborn.
they put on many forms; they go astray from
offspring to offspring
they put on decay, the stinking and brutish
body;
the dirty garment, which they put on again
and again.
the Wraths have command against the good
deed of the bishops.
they hate goodness and they have become
enemies of the truth.
they abandon the pure command and they
are not obedient of the gods.
they flow and run empty; they go naked out
of the land.
they turn back (their) nature from upon,
from the gathering of the saved.
they attain to the lower dark abyss, where
the demons are going.
[they become blind] and sightless; they do
not hear the divine commandment.
... (he) teaches and wakes the sleepers.
... dark, rusty and...
... and it is not fitting the Light Land
you, O the immortal Electi and the Hearer,
are happy about the hope(?)
with the... brought... the Father brought (it)
for the children
you obtain the divine body, garment and
great diadem
you will be having the same nature as the
gods like all the beneficents
you have been invited to the Light, to the
banquets and for the great meal
(and) in the great kingdom, where all the
Fathers are glad.
