Now [we] must honour the
guardian of heaven,
the might of the architect,
and his purpose,
the work of the father of
glory[b]
as he, the eternal lord,
established the beginning of wonders;
he first created for the
children of men[c]
heaven as a roof, the holy
creator
Then the guardian of
mankind,
the eternal lord, afterwards
appointed the middle earth,
the lands for men,[d] the
Lord almighty.
