[Kalevala]

Kvällsböna

 

Har du nôn skog i din himmel, du Gud.

Te gå i en finen kväll.

En tocken där gammel skog, du vet mä smörsôpp å kantarell.

Vi hörd fôll om gröna änger om söer mä vita ull

Musik ifrå harpas stränger och gater gjord uttå gull.

Men ja skull nock int trives mä då där,du Gud.

Du vet ja ä blyg å rädd.

Dä låter så fint på nô vis, du Gud å ja ä int tocken klädd.

Kanske du tycker ja tarjer å fråger men dä här ä noga för mej.

Fast slepper ja unna ellbrann å plåger ska ja ta't sôm dä ôpp när dej.

Men har du en skog i nôn utkant, du Gud vill jag gå där i ensamhet å ly på en bäck å på fôggelsång när dej i all evighet

Navajo Prayer - May it be beautiful

 

Dark young pine, at the center of the earth originating,

I have made your sacrifice.

Whiteshell, turquoise, abalone beautiful,

Jet beautiful, fool's gold beautiful, blue pollen beautiful,

Red pollen, pollen beautiful, your sacrifice I have made.

This day your child I have become, I say.

 

Watch over me.

Hold your hand before me in protection.

Stand guard for me, speak in defense of me.

As I speak for you, speak for me.

May it be beautiful before me.

May it be beautiful behind me.

May it be beautiful below me.

May it be beautiful above me.

May it be beautiful all around me.

 

I am restored in beauty.

I am restored in beauty.

I am restored in beauty.

I am restored in beauty.

" bakfra og forfra omgir du meg, du har lagt din hånd på meg." Salme 139,5.

 

Gud er overalt.

 

Bibelen sier: Sannelig, selv mørket er ikke mørkt for Deg, men natten lyser som dagen. Mørke eller lys gjør ingen forskjell. For det er du som hadde mine nyrer i eie. Du vevde meg sammen i min mors liv. Jeg vil prise Deg, for ved fryktinngytende gjerninger er jeg blitt et underverk. Underfulle er Dine gjerninger, og min sjel vet det så vel. Mine bein var ikke gjemt for Deg, da jeg ble dannet i det skjulte og kunstferdig knyttet sammen i mors liv. Som foster så Dine øyne meg.Og i Din bok var de alle skrevet ned, de dager som var fastlagt for meg, før en eneste av dem var kommet." Salme 139 12-16

I Came Into the Unknown

 

by John of the Cross

 

English version by Willis Barnstone

Original Language Spanish

 

I came into the unknown

and stayed there unknowing

rising beyond all science.

 

I did not know the door

but when I found the way,

unknowing where I was,

I learned enormous things,

but what I felt I cannot say,

for I remained unknowing,

rising beyond all science.

 

It was the perfect realm

of holiness and peace.

In deepest solitude

I found the narrow way:

a secret giving such release

that I was stunned and stammering,

rising beyond all science.

 

I was so far inside,

so dazed and far away

my senses were released

from feelings of my own.

My mind had found a surer way:

a knowledge of unknowing,

rising beyond all science.

 

And he who does arrive

collapses as in sleep,

for all he knew before

now seems a lowly thing,

and so his knowledge grows so deep

that he remains unknowing,

rising beyond all science.

 

The higher he ascends

the darker is the wood;

it is the shadowy cloud

that clarified the night,

and so the one who understood

remains always unknowing,

rising beyond all science.

 

This knowledge by unknowing

is such a soaring force

that scholars argue long

but never leave the ground.

Their knowledge always fails the source:

to understand unknowing,

rising beyond all science.

 

This knowledge is supreme

crossing a blazing height;

though formal reason tries

it crumbles in the dark,

but one who would control the night

by knowledge of unknowing

will rise beyond all science.

 

And if you wish to hear:

the highest science leads

to an ecstatic feeling

of the most holy Being;

and from his mercy comes his deed:

to let us stay unknowing,

rising beyond all science.
