متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

عیسی مریم به کوهی می گریختشیر گویی خون او می خواست ریخت
Jesus, son of Mary, was fleeing toward a mountain, as if a lion were seeking to spill his blood.
آن یکی در پی دوید و گفت خیردر پیت کس نیست چه گریزی چو طیر
Someone ran after him and said: 'All is well; no one is behind you. Why do you flee like a bird?'
با شتاب او آنچنان می تاخت جفتکز شتاب خود جواب او نگفت
He was rushing on in such haste that, because of his haste, he gave him no answer.
یک دو میدان در پی عیسی براندپس به جد جد،عیسی را بخواند
He followed Jesus for one or two stretches; then he called to Jesus with utmost earnestness:
کز پی مرضات حق یک لحظه بیستکه مرا اندر گریزت مشکلیست
'For the sake of God's good pleasure, stop a moment, for I have a difficulty about your flight.
از کی این سو می گریزی ای کریمنه پیت شیر و نه خصم و خوف و بیم
From whom are you fleeing this way, noble one? There is no lion behind you, no enemy, no fear or dread.'
گفت از احمق گریزانم برومی رهانم خویش را، بندم مشو
He said: 'I am fleeing from a fool. Go away. I am freeing myself; do not become my fetter.'
گفت آخر آن مسیحا نه تویکه شود کور و کر از تو مستوی
He said: 'After all, are you not the Messiah, through whom the blind and deaf are restored?'
گفت آری گفت آن شه نیستیکه فسون غیب را ماویستی
He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Are you not that king who is the dwelling-place of the unseen incantation?
چون بخوانی آن فسون بر مرده ایبرجهد چون شیر صید آورده ای
When you recite that incantation over a dead person, he springs up like a lion that has seized prey.'
گفت آری آن منم گفتا که تونه ز گل مرغان کنی ای خوب رو
He said: 'Yes, that is I.' He said: 'And do you not make birds from clay, fair-faced one?'
گفت آری گفت پس ای روح پاکهرچه خواهی می کنی از کیست باک
He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then, pure spirit, you do whatever you wish; whom do you fear?
با چنین برهان که باشد در جهانکه نباشد مر تورا از بندگان
With such proof, who is there in the world who would not be one of your servants?'
گفت عیسی که به ذات پاک حقمبدع تن، خالق جان در سبق
Jesus said: 'By the pure Essence of God, Originator of the body and Creator of the soul from before,
حرمت ذات و صفات پاک اوکه بود گردون گریبان چاک او
by the sanctity of His pure Essence and attributes, for whom the heavens tear their collars,
کان فسون و اسم اعظم را که منبر کر و بر کور خواندم شد حسن
that incantation and Greatest Name which I recited over the deaf and the blind, and they were restored,
بر که سنگین بخواندم شد شکافخرقه را بدرید بر خود تا به ناف
I recited over heavy rock, and it split, tearing its garment down to the navel.
بر تن مرده بخواندم گشت حیبر سر لاشی بخواندم گشت شی
I recited it over a dead body, and it became alive; I recited it over non-being, and it became a thing.
خواندم آن را بر دل احمق به ودصد هزاران بار و درمانی نشد
I recited it over the heart of a fool hundreds of thousands of times, and there was no cure.
سنگ خارا گشت و زان خو بر نگشتریگ شد کز وی نروید هیچ کشت
It became hard rock and did not turn back from that nature; it became sand from which no crop grows.'
گفت حکمت چیست کآنجا اسم حقسود کرد اینجا نبود آن را سبق
He said: 'What is the wisdom that there the Name of God was useful, but here it had no effect?
آن همان رنج است و این رنجی چرااو نشد این را و آن را شد دوا
That is an affliction and this is an affliction too; why was it a remedy for that one but not for this one?'
گفت رنج احمقی قهر خداسترنج و کوری نیست قهر آن ابتلاست
He said: 'The affliction of foolishness is God's wrath; affliction and blindness are not wrath, but trial.
ابتلا رنجیست کان رحم آورداحمقی رنجیست کان زخم آورد
Trial is a suffering that brings mercy; foolishness is a suffering that brings wounds.
آنچ داغ اوست مهر او کرده استچاره ای بر وی نیارد برد دست
What bears His brand has been made by His seal; no remedy can lay a hand upon it.
ز احمقان بگریز چون عیسی گریختصحبت احمق بسی خون ها که ریخت
Flee from fools as Jesus fled; the company of a fool has spilled much blood.
اندک اندک آب را دزدد هوادین چنین دزدد هم احمق از شما
Little by little the air steals water away; so too does a fool steal religion from you.
گرمیت را دزدد و سردی دهدهمچو آن کاو زیر کون سنگی نهد
He steals your warmth and gives you coldness, like one who places a stone beneath your backside.
آن گریز عیسی نه از بیم بودآمن است او ، آن پی تعلیم بود
Jesus' flight was not from fear; he is secure. It was for instruction.
زمهریر ار پر کند آفاق راچه غم آن خورشید با اشراق را
If bitter cold fills the horizons, what grief is that to the radiant sun?'
