Zoroastrian Daily Prayers

Ashem Vohū Vahishtem astī
Ushtā astī, Ushtā ahmāi,
Hyat ashāi Vahishtāi ashem.

Righteousness is the best good (and it) is happiness.
Happiness (is) to him who (is)
righteous for the sake of the best righteousness.

Yathā Ahū Vairyō
athā ratush ashāt chīt hachā,
Vanghēush dazdā mananghō

Just as a King acts according to his will, so does the
Dasturān Dastur by means of righteousness get. (acts according
to his own will). The gift of Vohu-manah (i.e. Good mind) is for
those working for Hormazd of this world; he who constitutes himself
to the protector (or the nourisher) of the poor (accepts) the sovereign
rule (of the entire world) (as it were) of Hormazd.

(To be recited thrice).

(May) the Satan (be) defeated and destroyed! (may) the works
and workers of Ahriman the accursed (be) destroyed! may not works
and workers of (that) accursed (Ahriman) reach (me)!
Thirty-three Holy Immortals (Ameshaspands) and the Creator Hormazd
are victorious and holy.

Ashem Vohū - 1.

When any wicked man glares at me for taking revenge
(or for injuring me), what man, O Mazdā, shall grant
protection unto me and unto my followers? (who other than
Thee shall grant protection) to the Fire and the Mind
(i.e. household happiness and the peace of mind)? Through
the action of which two, O Hormazd! righteousness increases.
Do Thou declare that knowledge of the religion to me (O Hormazd!).

Who (shall be) the smiter of the foe by the help of Thy (Avestan)
words which (by reciting at the time of calamity) are protecting?
Do Thou reveal clearly unto me a wise leader for both the worlds
(O Hormazd). Let Sraosha (Yazata) approach with Good Mind
(or through Vohu Manah) to any one whom Thou doest love.

O Hormazd and Spenta Ārmaiti! protect us from the envious ones.
(from here) Perish thou, O devilish Druj, perish thou, O devil’s
spawn; perish thou, O (evil) sown by the daevas, perish thou,
O follower of devil’s law; perish O Druj, disappear utterly,
vanish and entirely perish, in the North, O Druj. (so that)
corporeal settlements of righteousness (may) not (be) fit to be
destroyed. Homage (be) unto right thought and prosperity!

Ashem Vohū - 1. Yathā Ahū Vairyō - 2. Ashem Vohū - 1.

Dādār Hormazd (is) the Lord (of the entire Universe) (and) keeps the swith holder and keeper at a distance5 of the wicked and powerless Ahriman, May (that Ahriman) be smitten6 and defeated! May (all these) Ahriman, daevas, drujas, sorcerers, wicked ones, Kiks, Karaps, tyrants, sinners, āshmoghs, impious ones, enemies, witches be smitten and defeated! May the wicked rulers cease to exist! May the enemies be confounded! May the enemies be non-existent and perish.

O Lord Hormazd! I am in renunciation of, and desist from, all sins: wicked thoughts which in (this) world I have thought, wicked words which I have spoken, wicked deeds which I have committed, (and) which have occurred through me and which have originated by me - (all these sins mentioned above) relating to thought, relating to word, and relating to deed, pertaining to (my own) body, pertaining to (my own) soul, pertaining to this world, pertaining to the world beyond56 from all these sins, O Hormazd! I am in renunciation and keep myself away, (and) with the three words (Manashni, Gavashni, Kunashni) I repent.

(May there be) propitiation of Ahura Mazda! (May there be) contempt of Angra Mainyu the Evil Spirit! Whatever is the wish of the doers of righteous deeds is superior (to all other wishes). I praise righteousness.

do Thou come to my help. I am a Mazdā-worshipper; I profess myself (to be) a Mazdā-worshipping7 follower of Zarathushtra, a devotee and an ardent-believer (in this Mazdā-worshipping Faith). I praise the true-conceived thought, I praise the truespoken word, I praise the well-done deed.

I praise the excellent religion of Mazda-worship, (which is) quarrel-removing, weapon-lowering, self-dedicating (and) holy, which of those that are and of those shall be (hereafter) (is) the greatest, and the best and the most excellent, which is the religion of Ahura revealed-by-Zarathushtra.

(I begin to recite this) with (the help of) the name of (the Creator) Hormazd, the Lord and the Lord (of the whole world) and munificent.

(This Zoroastrian Creed should be recited thrice).

(May there be propitiation) of the just and holy knowledge created by Ahura Mazda (i.e. of Religious Education) and of the good Mazda worshipping Religion!
This is (the Religion) - the good, the just and the perfect religion which the Creator Hormazd sent for the people of this world and which (the Prophet) Zarathushtra (Himself) brought.
