I Tmejjel the High Priest
I, Tmeyyel, High Priest of Zobboz,
His Messenger and Chosen One,
Decree the redemption of Naaja.
He, the guilty, will during his neck-cutting
Be told that I, Tmeyyel, the messenger of God,
God the Merciful,
May grant him redemption through his death
That to reach Gennah and everlasting life,
must shout forgiveness
While he drowns in his blood.
Thus and only thus will his abominations be forgiven.
Thus written in stone for our descendants
And shown in the Holy Temple of Zobboz.
