<poem class="Copt"> | |||
I was sent from within power | |||
I came to those pondering me. | |||
And I was found among those seeking me | |||
Look at me, all you who contemplate me | |||
Audience, hear me | |||
Those expecting me, receive me | |||
Don't chase me from your sight | |||
Don't let your voice or your hearing hate me | |||
Don't ignore me any place, any time | |||
Be careful. Do not ignore me. | |||
I am the first and the last | |||
I am she who is honored and she who is mocked. | |||
I am the whore and the holy woman | |||
I am the wife and the virgin | |||
I am he the mother and the daughter | |||
I am the limbs of my mother | |||
I am a sterile woman and she has many children | |||
I am she whose wedding is extravagant and I didn't have a husband | |||
I am the midwife and she who hasn't given birth | |||
I am the comfort of my labor pain | |||
I am the bride and the bridegroom, | |||
And it is my husband who gave birth to me | |||
I am my father's mother, | |||
my husband's sister, and he is my child | |||
I am the slavewoman of him who served me | |||
I am she, the lord of my child | |||
It is he who gave birth to me at the wrong time | |||
And he is my child born at the right time | |||
And my power is from within him | |||
I am the staff of his youthful power | |||
And he is the baton of my old womanhood | |||
Whatever he wants happens to me | |||
I am the silence never found | |||
And the idea infinitely recalled | |||
I am the voice with countless sounds | |||
And the thousand guises of the word | |||
I am the speaking of my name | |||
You who loathe me, why do you love me and loathe the ones who love me? | |||
You who deny me, confess me | |||
You who confess me, deny me | |||
You who speak the truth about me, lie about me | |||
You who lie about me, speak the truth about me | |||
You who know me, ignore me | |||
You who ignore me, notice me | |||
I am both awareness and obliviousness | |||
I am humiliation and pride | |||
I am without shame | |||
I am ashamed | |||
I am security and I am fear | |||
I am war and peace | |||
Pay attention to me | |||
I am she who is disgraced and she who is important | |||
Pay attention to me, to my impoverished state and to my extravagance | |||
Do not be arrogant to me when I am thrown to the ground | |||
You will find me among the expected. | |||
Do not stare at me in the pile of shit, leaving me discarded | |||
You will find me in the kingdoms | |||
Do not stare at me when I am thrown out into the condemned | |||
Do not laugh at me in the lowest places | |||
Do not throw me into those slaughtered viciously | |||
I myself am compassionate | |||
And I am cruel | |||
Watch out! | |||
Do not hate my compliante and do not love my restraint | |||
In my weakness do not strip me bare | |||
Do not be afraid of my power | |||
Why do you despise my fear and curse my pride? | |||
I am she who exists in all fears and in trembling boldness | |||
I am she who is timid | |||
And I am safe in a comfortable place | |||
I am witless and I am wise. | |||
Why did you hate me with your schemes? | |||
I shall shut my mouth among those whose mouths are shut and then I will show up and speak | |||
Why then did you hate me, you Greeks? | |||
Because I am a barbarian among barbarians? | |||
I am the wisdom of the Greeks and the knowledge of the barbarians | |||
I am the justice of both the Greeks and barbarians | |||
I am he whose image is multiple in Egypt | |||
And she who is without an image among the barbarians | |||
I am she who was hated in every place | |||
And she who was loved in every place | |||
I am she whom they call life | |||
And you all called death | |||
I am she whom they call law | |||
And you all called lawlessness | |||
I am she whom you chased and she whom you captured | |||
I am she whom you scattered | |||
And you have gathered me together | |||
I am she before whom you were ashamed | |||
And you have been shameless to me | |||
I am she who does not celebrate festivals | |||
And I am she whose festivals are spectacular | |||
I, I am without God | |||
And I am she whose God is magnificient | |||
I am he the one you thought about and you detested me | |||
I am not learned and they learn from me | |||
I am she whom you detested and yet you think about me | |||
I am he from whom you hid | |||
And you appear to me | |||
Whenever you hide yourselves, I myself will appear | |||
Whenever you, I myself [ ] you [ ] | |||
[ ] Those who have [ ] | |||
[ ] to it [ ] take me [ ] from within [ ] | |||
Receive me with understanding and heartache | |||
Take me from the disgraced and crushed places | |||
Rob from those who are food, even though in disgrace | |||
Bring me in shame, to yourselves, out of shame | |||
With or without shame | |||
Blame the parts of me within yourselves | |||
Come toward me, you who know me | |||
and you who know the parts of me | |||
Assemble the grat smong the small and earliest creatures | |||
Advance toward childhood | |||
Do not hate it because it is small and insignificant | |||
Don't reject the small parts of greatness because they are small | |||
since smallness is recognized from within greatness | |||
Why do you curse me and revere me? | |||
:You wounded me and you relented | |||
:Don't separate me from the first ones | |||
:you [ ] | |||
throw away no one [ ] | |||
turn away no [ ]she who [ ] | |||
I know those | |||
And the ones after these know me | |||
But I am the mind [ ] and the rest [ ] | |||
I am the learning from my search | |||
And the discovery of those seeking me | |||
The command of those who ask about me | |||
And the power of powers | |||
In my understanding of the angels | |||
Who were sent on my word | |||
And the Gods in God, according to my design? | |||
And spirits of men who exist with me | |||
And the women who live in me | |||
I am she who is revered and adored | |||
And she who is reviled with contempt | |||
I am peace and war exists because of me | |||
I am a foreigner and a citizen of the city | |||
I am being | |||
I am she who is nothing | |||
Those who do not participate in my presence, don't know me | |||
Those who share in my being know me | |||
Those who are close to me, did not know me | |||
Those who are far from me, knew me | |||
On the day that I am close to you [ ] are far away | |||
:[ ] on the day that I [ ] from you [ ] | |||
:[ ] of the heart [ ] | |||
:[ ] of the natures | |||
I am he[ ] of the creation of the spirits [ ] request of the souls | |||
:[ ] control and the uncontrollable | |||
I am the coming together and the falling apart | |||
I am the enduring and the disintegration | |||
I am down in the dirt and they come up to me | |||
I amd judgment and acquittal | |||
I myself am without sin and the root of sin is from within me | |||
I appear to be list but inside is self-control | |||
I am what anyone can hear byt no one can say | |||
I am a mute that does not speak and my words are endless | |||
Hear me in tenderness, learn from me in roughness | |||
I am she who shouts out and they throw me down on the ground | |||
I am the one who prepares the breat and my mind within | |||
I am the knowledge of my name | |||
I am she who shouts and it is I that listens | |||
I appear and [ ] walk in [ ] seal of my [ ] | |||
:[ ] I am he [ ] the defense [ ] | |||
I am she they call truth, and violation [ ] | |||
You honor me [ ] and you whisper against me | |||
You conquered ones: judge them before they jufge you | |||
because the judge and favoritism exist in you | |||
If he condemns you, who will release you? | |||
If he releases you, who can detain you? | |||
Since what is your inside is your outside | |||
And the one who shapes your outside is he who shaped your inside | |||
And what you see on the outside, you see revealed on the inside | |||
It is your clothing | |||
Hear me, audience, and learn from my words, you who know me | |||
I am what everyone can hear and no one can say | |||
I am the name of sound and the sound of the name | |||
I am the sign of writing and disclosure of difference | |||
And I [ ] | |||
:[ ] light [ ] | |||
:[ ] and [ ] hearers [ ] to you [ ] | |||
:[ ] the great power. | |||
And [ ] will not move the name [ ] | |||
:[ ] he who created me | |||
But I will speak his name | |||
Look then at his pronouncements and all the writings that have been completed | |||
Listen then, audience | |||
And also you angels | |||
Along with those who have been sent | |||
And spirits who have risen from among the dead | |||
Since I am he who exists alone | |||
And no one judges me | |||
Since many sweet ideas exist in all kinds of sin | |||
They are uncontrollable and condemning passions | |||
And passing pleasures that people have until they become sober | |||
They go up to their resting place, | |||
And they will find me in that place | |||
They will live and they will not die again | |||
