O, Ljubljeni Moj! Ti si udahnuo Svoj dah u Mene, i razdvojio Me od Moga vlastitoga Ja. Zatim Si naložio da ništa osim blijeda odraza, pukog znamena Tvoje Stvarnosti u Meni ostane među izopačenima i zavidnima. Pogledaj kako su, obmanuti tim znamenom, ustali protiv Mene, nagomilali na Mene svoje nijekanje! Otkrij Se, stoga, o, Najljubljeniji Moj, i oslobodi Me Moje patnje. |
O My Well-Beloved! Thou hast breathed Thy Breath into Me, and divorced Me from Mine own Self. Thou didst, subsequently, decree that no more than a faint reflection, a mere emblem of Thy Reality within Me be left among the perverse and envious. Behold, how, deluded by this emblem, they have risen against Me, and heaped upon Me their denials! Uncover Thy Self, therefore, O My Best-Beloved, and deliver Me from My plight. |

Na to je Glas odgovorio: “Ja ljubim, Ja silno štujem taj znamen. Kako da pristanem da Moje oči jedine gledaju taj znamen, i da ga nijedno srce osim Mojega ne prepozna? Moje Mi Ljepote, koja je ista Tvojoj Ljepoti! Moja je želja skriti Tebe od Mojih vlastitih očiju: koliko tek više od očiju ljudi!” |
Thereupon a Voice replied: “I love, I dearly cherish this emblem. How can I consent that Mine eyes, alone, gaze upon this emblem, and that no heart except Mine heart recognize it? By My Beauty, which is the same as Thy Beauty! My wish is to hide Thee from Mine own eyes: how much more from the eyes of men!” |

Spremao sam Se odgovoriti, kad – gle!, Ploča je iznenada završila, ostavivši Moju temu nedovršenu, a biser Mojega izričaja nenanizan. |
I was preparing to make reply, when lo, the Tablet was suddenly ended, leaving My theme unfinished, and the pearl of Mine utterance unstrung. |
