Chapter 1 1
Singing "man" [Adam] formerly forbidden, the tree
The fruit of the forbidden tree [the tree of knowledge], to taste it is fatal
Bring death and sorrow to the world,
Lost Eden until a greater "man" [Jesus]
To restore us to our place, to find bliss lost,
Sing, god of poetry, in the mysterious
Horie or the summit of Sinai you have indeed revealed
The shepherd [Moses] who first taught God's chosen people [the Israelites],
How did the starry sky and the earth come into being
born out of chaos, or do you prefer
Mount Zion [in Jerusalem], and the murmuring stream of Siloam
By the side of the house of God, from where I
I pray that you will help my daring psalm,
so that it can skyrocket and fly over
The peak of Ioni, realizing the unprecedented ambition,
Complete the unprecedented pioneering work in poetry.
