Transliterated Text:

tat thwâ peresâ eresh môi vaocâ ahurâ
ýastat mîzhdem haneñtê nôit dâitî
ýê ît ahmâi erezhuxdhâ nâ dâitê
kâ têm ahyâ mainish anghat pouruyê
vîdvå avãm ýâ îm anghat apêmâ.

Translated Text:

This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
What is the primary punishment for the person
who does not give reward to the deserving
when approached with true words?
However, I know what will befall him later.

Commentary:

This ‘answering question’ makes Zarathushtra know for sure what consequences will befall the person who is approached and given the Divine Message, and he does not reward the messenger by joining him in the Fellowship. Bad consequences occur until one corrects himself to become righteous and promote life.

Pondering Point:

"Ignoring truth has grave consequences."
