Almsgiving
It will turn out well for the earl,
cruel minded man,
who inside him has a roomy heart;
Before the world, that will be for
him the greatest of honors (lit., honor-memorials)
and before our Lord the greatest of
glories/judgments.
5 Even as he might extinguish a welling
flame
with water, so that it can no longer
ravage,
bright (and) burning, the boroughs/cities,
so he with alms-giving completely
pushes aside
the wound of sins, and cures souls
(his soul?).
Pharaoh
“Tell me what there would be of all
the hosts
in Pharaoh’s army, when they began
to persecute
God’s folk through (their) hatred?”
“I don’t know at all, but I guess thus:
5 that there were, declared by number,
six hundred fine chariots of the
weapon-wielders;
that the sudden-swipe of waves
destroyed (them) all
by ferocious fate in the
world-kingdom.
Lord’s Prayer I
… [hol]y Father, you who live in the
heavens,
honored by the joy of glory. Let
your name be hallowed
by the children of men for your works; you are the Savior of men.
May your kingdom come far and wide,
and your counsel-firm will
5 be raised under the sky’s roof, (and)
also on the spacious earth.
Give us today, glory-firm Splendor,
our loaf, Helper of men,
perpetual (bread), truth-firm
Measurer.
Do not let temptations strike us too
powerfully,
but give us freedom, Wielder of
peoples,
from every evil, for ever and ever.
