SIBILA PERSICA	THE PERSIAN SIBYL
Pjetër Bogdani	trans. Robert Elsie (from Albanian)
Kumbon zani malsh e këlthet ndë shkretëti, Zihariq me dhan’ e u(dh)ë të dërejtë Shekullit me çelë e fajevet për mëngji, Pagëzimnë predikon mbë këtë jetë Kuj do me shelbuem pa rrenë e sherregji Ndë Parriisit vend të gjanjë si do vetë Tue trusun’ kryetë asaj bishë, Mirë tu’ bam e shpesh tu’ votë n’kishë.	A voice from the mountains cries out in the wilderness To carry the gospel, to pave for the world the path Of righteousness, to preach forgiveness of sins, And baptism. In this life It will bring salvation to those who renounce lies and deception. They will find their place in paradise, if they wish to, By crushing the head of that inner beast, By doing good deeds and by going often to church.
