Jesus was walking on a path, immersed in light A good companion joined him from afar Jesus happened to have three round loaves of bread He ate one loaf and gave the other to him Thus, from the three loaves, one loaf remained It remained uneaten between the two of them Jesus went along the way to get water His companion ate the loaf right there When Jesus, son of Mary, came back to him He did not see that loaf beside him He said, 'Where did that loaf go, oh son?' He replied, 'I have absolutely no news of it.' Those two set off from that place Until a sea appeared on the path Jesus took his hand at that time And walked with him upon the surface of the sea When he finally brought him across that sea He said, 'Oh companion, by the truth of the Just [God], The King who showed such a miracle, For such a miracle cannot be shown by oneself, Tell me now, oh man of the path, Who ate that loaf of bread back there?' The man said, 'I have no knowledge of it, Since I do not know, what do you want from me?' Jesus kept walking, repulsed by him, Until a deer appeared from afar Jesus called the swift deer And made the dust red with the deer's blood He roasted it, and also ate a little Until that man was also full up to his neck After that, Jesus, son of Mary, gathered its bones Gathered them and breathed into them The deer instantly resumed its life Paid its respects and took the path to the desert At that very hour, the guiding Messiah Said, 'Oh companion, by the truth of that God, Who showed you such a proof at this time, Make me aware of that one loaf of bread!' He said, 'Melancholy has taken you, oh companion, Since I do not know, how can I make you aware?' He still took that man along with him Until three mounds of fine dust appeared The pure Jesus prayed at that moment Until those three mounds of dust became solid gold He said, 'One mound is rightfully yours, oh man, And the other mound that you see is mine, And the third mound belongs to the one at that time Who secretly ate that one loaf of bread.' When the name of gold appeared to the man, Oh wonder, a different state appeared in him! He said, 'Then I am the one who ate that loaf of bread, I was hungry, I ate it secretly.' When Jesus heard the true speech from him, He said, 'I am weary of this; all three are yours. You are not fit to be my companion, I do not want you, even if you want me.' He said this, and because of this, he became grieved, Left the man and went far away from him. A while passed, two men arrived Both saw the gold and became enemies [to the first man] That first one said, 'All the gold is mine,' And these two men said, 'This gold is ours.' Their arguing and fighting became intense Both their tongues and hands ceased working [from exhaustion] Finally, those three raw men agreed To divide all that gold into three equal shares All three men were hungry there They could not catch their breath from hunger One of them said, 'Life is better than gold for me, I will go right now to the city and buy bread.' The other two said, 'If you bring bread, You will bring life back into our weakened bodies. You go for bread, when you arrive back from the road, We will then divide the gold into three shares.' The man immediately entrusted his share of gold to his partners Took to the road and set his heart on his task. He went to the city, bought bread, and ate as well Then, by a trick, he also put poison in the bread So that those two men would die from his bread And he would remain, and all that gold would be his. And those two men made a pact at this place, That they both would remove that one from their path; Then they would divide those three shares into two again. When the agreement was made, the man arrived Both men killed him instantly After that, they died when they ate the bread. When Jesus, son of Mary, arrived back there He saw the murdered one and those dead ones there He said, 'If this gold remains as it is, Countless people will be killed by this gold.' So he prayed at that time from his pure soul Until that gold became dust again, just like before. He said, 'Oh gold, if you find the opportunity, You will kill a hundred thousand in a day. Even if gold is better than dust, That gold is better with dust upon its head. Even though gold is red-faced and attractive, As long as you hold it in your hand, it is fire. Since your eye does not watch the path, Silver and gold keep you looking out of blindness. Gold, which so many people are obsessed with, Its place is the vulva of a mule or the hoof of a donkey. Since such gold throws one off the path, These two places are the most fitting place for it. If you have a hundred hidden treasures of gold, The goal of it all is enjoyment. Sometimes wear it, sometimes consume it, sometimes keep it This is your enjoyment from the world.'
