English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

This is one portion for thee, and yonder is one for thee: with a third light enter thou in full. In the entering-in, be fair in thine own person; be dear to the Gods in the highest seat of their assembly.

Translation

Ini satu bahagian bagimu, dan yang di sana satu bahagian bagimu; dengan cahaya yang ketiga masuklah engkau sepenuhnya. Dalam memasuki, jadilah elok pada dirimu sendiri; jadilah yang dikasihi para Dewa di tempat duduk tertinggi perhimpunan mereka.
