O Isis und Osiris, Sarastro's aria from Die Zauberflöte

הו איזיס ואוזיריס, העניקו
חוכמה ודעת לזוג הטרי!
אתם המדריכים את צעדי ההולכים,
חזקו את אורך רוחם אל מול סכנה.
אפשרו להם לראות את פירות מבחנם;
אך, אם ירדו אלי קבר,
גמלו להם על דרכם האמיצה והצודקת,
קבלום אל משכנכם.

Stärkt mit Geduld sie in Gefahr.	Strengthens them with patience in danger.

Lasst sie der Prüfung Früchte sehen;	Let them see the fruits of the test;
Doch sollten sie zu Grabe gehen,	But, if they should go to the grave,
So lohnt der Tugend kühnen Lauf,	Then, the valient course of virtue rewarded,
Nehmt sie in euren Wohnsitz auf.	Receive them in your abode.
