Wrapped in Sleep

I am wrapped and sleep
in a garment in which there is no defect.

In a garment in which there is no defect,
which has nothing missing or lacking.

The Life knew about me,
Adam, who slept awoke.

He the Helper took me by the palm of my right hand
and gave a palm-branch into my hand.

The light cast me into the darkness,
and the darkness filled with light.

On the day when light arises,
darkness will return to its place.

He approached the clouds of light,
and his course was set to the Place of Light.
