Перевод на
английский текста одного из этих амулетов (я не
стал давать перевода на русский, чтобы не вносить
искажения еще и своим переводом): (Panel 1) [...] Negray daughter of Denday and from her male sons and [...] I
have heard and the voice of the weak [...] of the men who are fighting [...] of raging
women who curse and afflict and cause pain they have descended against them [Azdai],
Yazdun and Yaqrun, Prael the great and Ruphael and Sahtiel and seized them and by the
tufts of hair and the tresses of their heads and broke the horns which were high and tied
them by the tufts of hair of their heads and said to them "remove that which you have
cursed" and they said to him "from the pain of our heart we cursed and from the
bitterness of our palate we resolved to curse" I have made you swear and adjure you
in the name of Azdai and Yazdun and Yaqrun and Prael the great and Ruphael and Sahtiel
that you release (Panel 2) and free [...] Negray daughter of Denday and [...] male and
female from [...] all the curses [...] cursed and from the curses of [...] and the mother
and from the curse of the prostitute [...] and the fetus and from the curse of the
employee and employer who stole the wage and from the curse of the brothers who did not
divide truthfully among themselves and from the curses of all people who curse in the name
of idol demons and their surrenderings you are the healer you are the healer who heals
sicknesses with words you are the healer who turns away the sicknesses and the curses of
those who cursed Negray daughter of Denday in the name of Azdai and Yazdun and Yaqrun and
Prael and Ruphael and heal and annul the curses of those who curse Negray daughter of
Denday. And upon a stone (Panel 3) which is unsplit I sat [...] and I wrote all of the
curses upon a new bowl of clay and I sent back the curses of those who cursed Negray
daughter of Denday to their masters until they release and bless in the name of Sariel the
angel and Barakiel the angel and in the name of Sariel and Barakiel you release from the
curses of those who curse Negray daughter of Denday as a man as a man is freed from the
house of bondage and from the house of weapons amen amen selah [...] may there be health
and sealing [...] and to the house of Negray daughter of Denday and to the male sons [...] |
