Summary
Y 31.3 yąm dā̊mainiiū āϑrācā aṣ̌ācā cōiš rānōibiiā xṣ̌nūtəm
hiiat̰uruuatəm ⁺cazdōŋhuuadəbiiō tat̰nə̄mazdā vīduuanōi vaocā
hizuuā ϑβahiiā ā̊ŋhō yā juuaṇtō vīspə̄ṇg vāuraiiā
The satisfaction which you created with (your) spirit and assigned to both parties by means of the fire and aṣ̌a;
that agreement which is for (your) followers. For us to know that, speak, O Wise one,
with the tongue of your mouth, by which I might retain all the living.
Y 31.19 gūštā yə̄maṇtā aṣ̌əm ⁺ahūm.biš vīduuā̊ahurā
ərəžuxδāi vacaŋhąm xšaiiamnō hizuuō vasō
ϑβā āϑrā suxrā mazdā vaŋhāu vīdātā rąnaiiā̊
The healer of the existence, the knowledgeable one who conceives aṣ̌a, has listened, O Lord,
he who at will has command over (his) tongue for the straight utterance of words
at (the time of ) the good distribution to both parties by means of your red fire, O Wise one.
Y 34.4 at̰tōi ātrə̄m ahurā aojōŋhuuaṇtǝm aṣ̌ā usə̄mahī
asīštīm ə̄mauuaṇtǝm stōi rapaṇtē ciϑrā.auuaŋhǝm
at̰mazdā daibišiiaṇtē zastāištāiš dǝrǝštā.aēnaŋhǝm
Thus, O Lord, we wish your strong fire, the swiftest (and) most powerful, to be a
brilliant support to the supporting one in accordance with aṣ̌a,
but, O Wise One, a visible harm to the hostile one by means of its hands.
Y 43.4 at̰ϑβā mə̄ṇghāi taxməmcā spəṇtəm mazdā
hiiat̰tā zastā yā tū hafṣ̌ī auuā̊
yā̊dā̊aṣ̌īš drəguuāitē aṣ̌āunaēcā
ϑβahiiā garəmā āϑrō aṣ̌ā.aojaŋhō
hiiat̰mōi vaŋhə̄uš hazə̄jimat̰manaŋhō
Then, I shall realise that you are brave and bounteous, O Wise one,
because you sustain support by that hand by which
you hold the rewards which are for the truthful ones and the deceitful ones,
by the heat of your fire, strong through aṣ̌a,
when the force of good thought shall come to me.
Y 43.9 spəṇtəm at̰ϑβā mazdā ⁺mə̄ŋ́ghī ahurā
hiiat̰mā vohū pairī.jasat̰manaŋhā
ahiiā fərasə̄m kahmāi vīuuīduiiē vaṣ̌ī
at̰ā ϑβahmāi āϑrē rātąm nəmaŋhō
aṣ̌ahiiā mā yauuat̰isāi maniiāi
Then, I realise that you are bounteous, O Wise Lord,
when he approached me with good thought.
