LINGUAE VASCONUM PRIMITIAE - Euskaltzaindia

72 You were an adviser to others and now you are being advised.
When remembering this suffering, think of those down there.
If you are able to avoid the one down there while up here,
you will have spent your time up here well.
76 You yourself would know how to advise anyone were he there.
Now then, take sorne advice yourself,
so that what happens to a candle will not happen to you:
Having given light to others, it burns itself out.
80 If they have done you a great wrong,
put your case in Cod's hands.
He will give each one his just rewards:
Creat anguish to those who do evil, glory to those who are patient.
84 Do not condemn yourself through spite,
in wishing that evil should happen to the wicked.
You are doing Cod a great injustice.
You are making him a hangman and yourself a judge.
88 Where you have judged your enemy,
there have you condemned yourself,
and there will no excuse suffice.
Show me anyone anywhere who is without sin.
92 Cod, I now have a great task.
In this city many are being murdered.
Lest I should die in captivity, an innocent man,
give me, I pray, the wherewithal to come out a healthy man
so that my enemy will not later chuckle:
"He was guilty and there he lost his life»
98 As freedom is the greatest of things,
captivity is the worst kind of suffering.
Let no person be fooled, I pray, as I was.
Nor let any man trust every word.
My Cod, defend my right.
Amen.
