1. The stone encrypted in books, its secret is ours
By providence it became a child and an adult

2. We saw it tossed on roads among the people
But above the heavens it was brilliant

3. So when the holy spirit became elixir of our soul
We saw the light of the secret manifest through the secret

4. A beautiful boy, his beauty puts the sun to shame
Wise and resolute in important affairs

5. His father is generous and his mother is chaste
Ancient yet modern, busy yet at leisure

6. We have a cause, yet before it he was
In his hypostasis, the caused, a son rising

7. He contained one essence in essence and nature
His essence triumphed but did not err

8. He was an elder before becoming a youth
And became a suckling babe

9. Since he died slaughtered, by his slaughter he revived
And revived a ruin that was consumed in the blaze

10. What a wondrous slain you are, you slew our slayer
In you, the tribe’s slain became brilliant

11. When he died, a sacrificed servant, anguished
He rose as God, the creator of the universe

12. With his spiritual law he reforms the corrupt
And in him opens what was closed and mature

13. He heals and revives the dead who became crumbs
And death's fang was piercing the dead

14. He sucked from it the poison of its dragon
That marred his body while his soul it continued to bite

15. He appointed over it the hound of his law
To protect him from a prowling wolf

16. So he marveled at him alive, dead, and resurrected
And his creation from Adam who erred

17. He attacked him in body and dignified soul
But from his progeny he always strayed

18. And he perfected a mind that was once lacking
And articulated a speech that was once muted

19. The truth in him split the rock as a guide
Though not every truth could split the true rock

20. This is the elixir, elixir of our soul
That came to us while doubts' tails clung to doubts

21. Since he arrived, he transformed shavings then lead
Into pure gold, if you are an artisan

22. God has gained a meal that once deprived
And a drink that once quenched thirst

23. Whatever firm order you desire, conclude it
And whatever just rule you want, see it through

24. In him lots were divided like inheritance
As lands in the era of peacetime were divided

25. So fear no usurper in dividing the lot
Even if he quarreled with people through evil

26. For that rock, the truth, crushed
His hopes until he evaded us

27. And he who once stoned became stoned
With a face masked in soil during tumult's attack

28. He fell while his soul rose as a ray
Victorious or exaggerating as it rose

29. Until we muzzled him with our symbol’s pearl
Wisdom about her child left him

30. And I dressed him in it and through it our features
As I was dressed in its flowing robes

31. It appeared to us as a full moon then a sun matching us
The law since it wandered in it preoccupied

32. It seemed a full moon so when its mansion emerged
An eagle appeared as a sun not yet rising

33. But he crafted through it for himself in it
Jewelry with wisdom from the symbol of unfading dye

34. Thirty years he wandered in it, managing
And after the thirty they called him artisan
