SKVR textEnglish
"Pölästyksen luku".
1Tulo tänne, Herra Jeesus,Come here, Lord Jesus,
2Suo tänne, hyvä Jumala,Grant here, good God,
3Kipijöi voitamaa,To heal the pains,
4Huavoi parantammaa!To cure the sores!
5Voija niil voitehiil,Anoint with those ointments,
6Mil Jeesus voijettii,With which Jesus was anointed,
7Muaria parannettii!The wounds were healed!
8Sisäst kivuttomaaks,From within painless,
9Piält tuntumattomaaks,From the surface unfelt,
10Alta aivan terveheeks,From below wholly healthy,
11Paremmaaks entistää!Better than before!
12Mäne sinne, kunne käsenGo there, where I command,
13Ja sinne, kuhu lähetän:And there, where I send:
14Pimijää pohjosee,To the dark north,
15Kust et kuulu kuuna päin,Where you’re unheard by the moon,
16Selkijä sinä ikänä,Never to be revealed,
17Syömääst, kalluumaast,From eating, from drowning,
18Puremaast, nielemääst,From biting, from swallowing,
19Ristittyy rikkomaast,From breaking the baptized,
20Kastettuu kaatamaast!From killing the baptized!
