宽恕


祢,宽厚的主啊!祢是所有仆役们的庇护,祢知道一切事物和它们的秘密。我们都很无助,而祢是强大的、无所不能的;我们都是罪人,而祢是罪的宽恕者、慈悲者、悲悯者。主啊!请不要看着我们的短处,根据祢的恩惠和慷慨来对待我们吧。

我们的短处太多了,而祢宽恕的海洋无边无际;我们的弱点太可悲了,而祢协助之证据又是那么明显。因此,请肯定我们,使我们坚强,使我们有能力进行种种有意义的事,以便能进入祢神圣之门槛;请照亮我们的心,赋予我们明察的眼睛和聆听的耳朵;请祢叫死亡的复活、生病的痊愈;降施财富予穷人,惠赐安宁于恐惧的人;请接受我们进入祢的王国,并以祢的指引之光照耀我们。祢是慷慨的、仁慈的、善良的上天。

——阿博都-巴哈

O Thou forgiving Lord!  Thou art the shelter of all these Thy servants.  Thou knowest the secrets and art aware of all things.  We are all helpless, and Thou art the Mighty, the Omnipotent.  We are all sinners, and Thou art the Forgiver of sins, the Merciful, the Compassionate.  O Lord!  Look not at our shortcomings.  Deal with us according to Thy grace and bounty.

Our shortcomings are many, but the ocean of Thy forgiveness is boundless.  Our weakness is grievous, but the evidences of Thine aid and assistance are clear.  Therefore, confirm and strengthen us.  Enable us to do that which is worthy of Thy holy Threshold.  Illumine our hearts, grant us discerning eyes and attentive ears.  Resuscitate the dead and heal the sick.  Bestow wealth upon the poor and give peace and security to the fearful.  Accept us in Thy kingdom and illumine us with the light of guidance.  Thou art the Powerful and the Omnipotent.  Thou art the Generous.  Thou art the Clement.  Thou art the Kind.
