blessing of the house

poem by jakob streit translated and recreated by Ruth Salles

.

That the house now built
do not be consumed in fire!
Let there be no floods on your side,
and the ray is deflected.
May a good spirit be there
and from dangers protect it!

God bless you
very peacefully
this good place,
and to every person
that from inside comes out
and who wants to enter.
