May Ahura Mazda be rejoiced!…

Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good…

I confess myself a worshipper of Mazda, a follower of Zarathushtra, one who hates the Daevas and obeys the laws of Ahura;

For sacrifice, prayer, propitiation, and glorification unto [Havani], the holy and master of holiness…

Unto the star Vanant, made by Mazda,

Be propitiation, with sacrifice, prayer, propitiation, and glorification.

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

We sacrifice unto the star Vanant, made by Mazda, the holy and master of holiness.

I will sacrifice unto Vanant, strong, invoked by his own name, healing, in order to withstand the accursed and most foul Khrafstras of the most abominable Angra Mainyu.

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

I bless the sacrifice and prayer, and the strength and vigour of the star Vanant, made by Mazda.

Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good…

[Give] unto that man brightness and glory, … give him the bright, all-happy, blissful abode of the holy Ones.
