GATHA SPENTAMAINYUSH - YASNA 47

Good thoughts, good words and good deeds arise from TRUTH,
And to a happy and immortal life they lead,
For God has ordained this matchless prize for TRUTH,
And from penal chains are all men freed by TRUTH,
The chief doctrine of Mazda's commands is TRUTH,
And it is this righteous path that leads to joy,
It runs down lies, as lies breed fights and bloodshed,
So employ your strength and means to foster TRUTH,
And thus destroy all lies and wicked wiles.

With truthful words and deeds a man can achieve,
Complete success throughout his worldly life,
He will receive high praise and well deserved honours,
And all men will sincerely love and bless him,
His sterling worth and merit they will accept,
God is the Sire of TRUTH and knowing this,
All men should progress for sake of TRUTH,
No chance of serving TRUTH they ought to miss
By TRUTH alone they'll get celestial bliss.

The whole creation, splendid and grand,
Created for us, O God, by Thee with care,
Beautifully perfected for charm and bliss
That man can share in its delightful joys,
When man for Thee his loyalty declared,
And to TRUTH in all acts adheres,
And dares to fight all wicked lies,
Then he is led by Behman's guidance clear
As God's holy manthra he reveres.

All truthful men will happiness receive,
The lot of the wicked is a punishment fit,
An income fair the righteous will receive,
Sinful souls with heaps of wealth will repine (be discontented)
For they violate the laws divine
To pass their weary time in dismal gloom,
And from Mazda's benign grace .. be forever banned.
The good will attain beatitude sublime,
Which those who are sunk in crime can never gain.

O unseen Lord, from Thee all blessings flow,
To compensate the righteous and the just,
For them Thy gracious bounties daily increase,
As they work for Truth and in Thy kindness trust,
And look down with deep dislike on lies and fraud.
The wicked have blindly set aside Thy laws,
To suffer in the end as needs they must,
Their bloated hearts are full of wayward pride,
In fear and grief they will forever abide.

The good and the faithful enjoy perennial bliss
Their God they serve with perfect peace of mind,
No chance they'll miss to help the cause of Truth,
And to them.... Almighty Mazda's always kind.
They'll find new joys in life from year to year 
To pass their days in calm and ease,
Their brains are cool and clear, their hearts refined,
May their efforts continue and never cease,
Their fame and splendour may God ever increase.
