8th of Ma´llem Ghobrial (A) :: الثامن من المعقب للمعلم غبريال - 1

With whom shall I liken and call you, I utter and speak words, O whom all the fathers, blessed throughout the ages.

Blessed throughout the ages, and all times and periods, how they said parables, and the visions of the fathers.

And the visions of the fathers, a ladder of light seen by Jacob, reaching the heights of heaven, erected upon the earth.

Erected upon the earth, the heavenly ranks descending on it, and ascending to the hidden throne, angels worshipping around it.

Angels worshipping around it, thousands of thousands and myriads, perplexed in explaining it, saying the awesome One will come.

Saying the awesome One will come, appearing in human flesh, incarnate in the fullness of time, born a human birth.

Born a human birth, dwelt in your womb and you bore Him, as the blessed father´s saying, in his vision, Jacob the father.

In his vision Jacob the father, for you are the ladder, you bore the God of gods, who renewed us after death.

Who renewed us after death, He made us a justified people to Him, He chose you O beauty of nations, you bore the invisible living One.

You bore the invisible living One, and we all bless you saying, "Blessed are you O Mother of Light, hail to you and hail unto you."

Hail to you and hail unto you, we ask you O mother of the Beloved, grant us to be in your fathers´ tents, Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
