1. Ask destiny, it will answer what its repository contains,
The tireless seeker and the insightful of understanding,

2. He who before you came to his assembly,
To him the people would refer judgement,

3. Awake, no falsehood ascends to him, nor
Do ambiguities and their misguidance mislead him,

4. He deliberates on the matter, nothing concerns him of it except
What the covenants of God and responsibilities require,

5. And he delivers the judgement in its most perfect places,
Of truth, while the darkness of injustice is tearful,

6. Cautious of the error he was capable of or injustice
In the self or in the right that is infringed,

7. Can a breath from its Creator's soul expire
Forcibly as breaths expire when they pass?

8. And are rights in the conscience permitted with
A painful hint if the law does not watch over them?
