Transliterated Text:

tâ thwâ peresâ ahurâ

ýå ishudô dadeñtê

ýåscâ mazdâ dregvôdebyô
ýathâ tå anghen hêñkeretâ hyat.

Translated Text:

Lord, I ask You this:
What is happening and what will happen?
What holds in future as compensation for the righteous,
and Wise One, what for the wrongful?
How do they stand
when their performance is complete?

Commentary:

Zarathushtra wants to be clear on present conditions and future happenings. What does future hold for the righteous and what for the wrongful? What when all is done and complete? The questions are self-answering. Eternal good for the righteous, corrective justice for the wrongful, and happy eternity for all.

Pondering Point:

“There are consequences for our actions, and we are personally responsible for all of them.”
