1. Then Tharúka Kór afterwards began to pray to Starfather, his esteemed master, from the inside area within the cloud whale’s belly, saying in this wise:

#

Tlhé. – Pèxhlulu plìkaka jakhnaqliwàyatlhui púxing

†Puintheyaswaorèpyer tyàmfhu púxhmi †Peséyoru sae.

Ei qhìkhereu xeûl kus pwàfheqhe fhúnàyaloi pú

Xhnoike pyàpyaxha janaxàmlimm tetèqta pfho †Túyepakhing.

2. “I cried out, calling unto Starfather

Because of my distress, and He answered unto me.

‘Tis from the grave’s entrails that I cried out,

And You heard my weary voice.

#

Lrí. Qeyelyoyùpwars púxhrejor qir qhefheluîngoir Tèkhomm

Jhentapfhéràtser khornakhleikhayojówi ker pwuixùxhwi.

3. You have thrown me into the Chaos Monster’s jaws

Which place is in the middle heart of the fractal seas,

Where the floods and currents engulfed me everywhere

While all your billows, all the waves passed o'er me.

#

Fhé. Kho pajekhmúta poxhing – Pejor xhnípe lwaxixìyejikh

Xhnípe khmóyìyejikhh khleinajaeyèpwo púxhlisa quja

Qliiyùngpu toe qlùrqha xàsqreil pfhu púyepakh quja. –

4. So I chanted, ‘Being exiled,

I am thrust from Your sight, indeed, but

I shall look at Your holy temple again.’

#

Jí. Ei fhamèpyi kus púxhrejor khlàxakul fhájhayùtya

Xhnípèyatser tlhokhroyòlkha khátoâfhexing khastèyepakh.

5. Encompassed me have the many waters

Unto the death, around the rainbows themselves of my souls.

The depth of the fractal seas has altogether swallowed perhaps me,

While the kelp is wrapped up around my head.

#

Thé. Uxhnastétlhu so xhmaneyùtya’ èmleni pú

†Xhwaitsaranlyir †taê Xhákh xá xafhayaôngi púxhrejorsa.

6. Unto the roots of the whispering mountains I have descended,

While the earth and its bones surround me for ever,

But You have brought up my life from the Pits of Despair in the Undergloom,

Oh Starfather, my creator, in fact.

#

Lwí. Pejor poe purjhwuthakìnthe’ ólu ker lwejùyejikh

7. When my souls verily verily fainted,

Being distressed, ‘tis Starfather that I began to remember, and

The prayers from me came in towards dear you,

While you were in your holy triangular-and-circular temple.

#

Khé. Pyosyáfha’ ur qoe khmisalatàntong pein kúxhrejor

Jhpuîxan qlaêkh khwanitàjhwen qlaêkhepakh.

8. Those who are boastful with vanity

Forsake their own mercy itself.

#

Jú. Eiqhor ei xhwàqhuna ser xheusyimùlkha kus

†Ingótyayejikhìngpen ìsa’ iyéxha xhmoe. –

9. But, ‘tis with my voice of thanksgiving

That I shall revere You

With the words that I have promised.

Starfather’s always is salvation indeed.”

#

Lwó. Qìr té qyeû tóxhekeyùpwar †Qyìpiyan xhreqaxhliyáxeus Tharúkàyejikh qir xhmàrka’ ukayóta keixingepyer paikhelónge kúl keiyaning.

10. Then Starfather commanded the cloud whale to regurgitate Tharúka upon the dry land, and it succeeded in doing such.

Xhí. EiqhorTharúkayòxhrie ker Kór sir ínge’ akhténixing †Olakhyimaxhrúrajhwàyejikh paje pejor khwilìfhufhu

1. And Starfather’s word came to Tharúka Kór a second time, saying:

#

Tlhé. – Ás toaqing xhthateîqa’ eûla Qhàyul sìjhi khwalìyutakh tóxing koaqoas fhókheûqha thùntrumat syelèfhamet xhmuju keiyaswaoring pelqireîtlho lyéqhayoaqètafhamm túxhmixing †Pó kae tóyaningenwe. –

2. “Be it that you arise, dear one, going unto Qhàyul, the great ideapolis, where you shall preach, anounce, and intone elegant words unto it concerning the sermon that I am speaking unto you.”

#

Lrí. Kho koaqing jhyoê Tharúka xhmoe xhyákhatser Qhayulàswaor pejor khyojúxeir xhmir xhyákh †Xhyatlhàyejikh. Xhnoet xhwopaingana súfha xhroe xhthoê pfhu Qhàyul koas qthètharoa xhàkhaqa tlhètor pfhu khlinyiyàtsering khmipìntu si khmórn so.

3. So Tharúka arose, going to Qhàyul, being obedient unto the words spoken by Starfather. And Qhàyul was truly a massive city, having the length of three daywalks in diameter from walls to walls.

#

Fhé. Paû qothateqheyoîtal tsenalwòthotlha sae qir pìntro ptètlha xhroe tèlkha xhroa xing fhèqhin xhnir Tharúkayàxhwa qrakuyeîlwai thuntrumateîlwai pajethuyeireîlwai’ – Ei xhyómpi syujhwasiyutoâka kus xhnípeyaîpoin khletsatsetseyùlkha xhroakhpelíngeyèxhyeu Qhayùlepakh. –

4. Then Tharúka began to enter, to go through the city for the length of the journey of a day, while he was crying out, announcing, saying, “’Tis after seven seven days that Qhàyul, by chance, is fated to be overthrown, to be destroyed.”

#

Jí. Kho xhixhlelínge †Xhwípo Khmenxhiyaningàxhwa qir Qhàyul kus qlaûxha júnùtya kuss sètwa jhwiiyùtya tharathayejikhàjhwent pónetlhi’ Íngajo quja Qhátha quja’ Éngajo quja kaléfha quja.

5. So the folk of Qhàyul set out to believe Starfather, as they began to announce a fast and began to put on masks of mourning upon themselves, they who were the High Castes, and the Nobles, the Low Castes and the slaves.

#

Thé. Keyexhyeusas lràpa jhunwènthe Khwiníxingoyùpwar Qhayulùlkha xhlir kenánétsu kekoaqing jhpìxhrefha jhanwakhwonápo si kekoxhing qoe xhroâqir jhanwaqhùthwes pleitàxhmikh pónetlhi wtháyaning xekhyaqárthayèxhyeu pàstu sae khyámuyùlkha tsenaqhíyan qoe pùwowo qwíyaloi ptanùsaning.

6. When the word, by chance reached, coming to the Viceroy King of Qhàyul, he arose from his throne, in order to remove his outer robes of his proper caste, in order to cover himself with robes of lamentation, and in order to sit in ashes.

#

7. He painted an important edict to be published, and it read, “In honored Qhàyul, because of a decree from the Viceroy King, the Nobles, and the Sylvan Priests, ‘tis chanted that may no adult taste anything, likewise may they only drink water, and likewise may they, in fact, merely feed their crystalbeasts, their herds, and their flocks by means of forbidden food for the Ancestors.

#

Khé.

8. Be it that all persons wear dream clothing of sadness and that all mineralbeasts sigh, and may all the Children of Pfhentókha invoke the Creator along with His Æons and Stars with all their strength, in order that each person turn from his wicked habits and from the violence in their hands, tentacles, and wingfins.

#

Jú. Xhyìnura fhàlës eixhrejor khìthyu xhyuxhnoas †Fhwuînye xekhyapwiiyájhei kus prakelónge kus tlhìthyumat jhanwapfhájhayàxhmikh ptél pfhu soe tqàngqa tepu?

9. Who can divine, wondering whether Starfather will turn Himself aside, forgiving and quenching His burning anger, lest we perish?”

#

Lwó. Pejor khakhàsyar jhenerùlkha kúxhri pajekháxàyatser †Khuîlqe pàqra teiqhàsyilo qlaêkh pfhu jhi kúyan qìr té Qukhrimùpwarnt poyoyeîtlho wtseîyafham qìr xhré xhré †Kekoxhing kus pajexhùtse wtsieyàmpein keixhrejoring †Kekoxhing †Qúthuyànwa. Xhnoet †Xhmisexhyurèlkhim khnól ker pwànta kúlùlkha.

10. Seeing the good deeds from them, when Starfather saw that they forsook their impious habits, then Starfather conceded, concerning the calamity which He had announced, saying that He would bring it forth. And He verily verily did not do such.
