Bountiful and blessed is the man who grants his goodness to a stranger,
~~and does not bring injury to another, though he himself be injured.
Happy the people who give according to God's gold and rule,
~~and pleased is God with them.
They are His travelers, shaping their way through shadows in the desert;
~~they appear to one another on the path, east of storm and west of sand.
And when each passerby directs the nearing one to the other's next oasis,
~~then each describes abundance to the other,
~~how rich the land where each cares for his brother.
~~and does not bring injury to another, though he himself be injured.
Happy the people who give according to God's gold and rule,
~~and pleased is God with them.
They are His travelers, shaping their way through shadows in the desert;
~~they appear to one another on the path, east of storm and west of sand.
And when each passerby directs the nearing one to the other's next oasis,
~~then each describes abundance to the other,
~~how rich the land where each cares for his brother.
