Äkkäyksillä.
(Ensin isämeitä.)
1Tye tänne, Herra Jiesus,Come here, Lord Jesus,
2Saa tänne, hyvä Jumala,Come here, good God,
3Kipuisille kiirehille,To [relieve] painful urgencies,
4Töille tarpehellisille;To necessary labors;
5Tänne sinua tarvitaa(n),Here you are needed,
6Hätähisen huonohee(n),For the urgent destitute one,
7Tuskahallisen tupaa(n)!The tormented one's dwelling!
8Hos et ite jouva tulla,If you cannot come yourself,
9Lähätä sulat sannais,Send your swift envoys,
10Heitä helpot kämmeneis!Cast your gentle hands!
11Ota onneis ojaasta,Take [us] with your grace from the ditch,
12Syntyis syvääst' maast',From the deep earth of birth,
13Kasva kaiaast' tilaast',Grow from the cleared field,
14Haon alt' haltiais,From under rotten wood, spirits,
15Likemmäs kuin paita päälläis!Closer than your shirt's touch!
(Isameitä välillä.)
16Maaria pyhäin(en) vaimoMary, the holiest woman,
17Käyy käpeihin kengin,Walks into palms shod,
18Hienoin paijoin heutajaa,With finest lullabies soothing,
19Sata sarvee selääss(ää),A hundred antlers on her back,
20Sata sulkaa sisäss',A hundred feathers within,
21Millä vois' voikkavvii,With which to anoint thoroughly,
22Parens' parentavvii;To heal even better;
23Voisi alt', voisi päältä,Could [heal] from below, from above,
24Vois keskelt' keraall',Could from the midst with all,
25Sisält' kivuttomaks,Inside to painlessness,
26Päält' tuntumattomaks,Outside to imperceptibility,
27Alta aivan terveheks'.From beneath wholly to health.
Isämeitä päälle taas.
