edame niayeshe yasna1

14. I announce (and) carry out (this Yasna) for the mountain Ushi-darena, the Mazda-made, with its sacred brilliance, and for all the mountains glorious with sanctity [Observe the impossibility of the meaning 'comfort,' or mere 'well-being' here.], with their abundant Glory Mazda-made, and for that majestic Glory Mazda-made, the unconsumed [Or possibly 'the unseized,' the Pahlavi agrift(?); Ner. agrihitam; hvar, to eat, may have meant 'seize' originally.] Glory which Mazda made. And I announce and carry out (this Yasna) for Ashi the good, the blessedness (of the reward), and for Chisti, the good religious Knowledge, for the good Erethe (Rectitude?), and for the good Rasastat (persisting zeal?), and to the Glory and the Benefit which are Mazda-made.

17. I announce (and) carry out (this Yasna) for that lofty lord who is the Asha (itself), and for the masters of the days in their duration, and of the days during daylight, for the moons, the years, and the seasons which are masters of Asha at the time of Hawan.

19.

Hum2 118 (Yazata%ibyO ... YOi he#ti YasnyAja VahmyAja aCAT haja YaT VahictAT): "the Yazatas who are worthy of worship and worthy of glorification in accordance with best truth"
20. O Hawan, Asha-sanctified master of Asha, and Savanghi, Rapithwin, and Uzerin, and Aiwisruthrem, (and) Aibigaya, (you who aids life!) if I have offended you, and you, o Ushahin, Asha-sanctified master of Asha!
21. If I have offended you, whether by thought, or word, or deed, whether by act of will, or without intent or wish, I earnestly make up the deficiency of this in praise to you. If I have caused decrease in that which is your Yasna, and your homage, I announce (and carry out) to you (the more for this)!
22. Yea, all ye masters, the greatest ones, Asha-sanctified masters of Asha, if I have offended you by thought, or word, or deed, whether with my will, or without intending error, I praise you (now the more) for this. I announce to you (the more) if I have caused decrease in this which is your Yasna, and your praise.
23. I would confess myself a Mazda-worshipper, of Zarathushtra's order, a foe to the Daevas, devoted to the lore of Ahura, for Hawan, the Asha-sanctified master of Asha, for (his) sacrifice, homage, propitiation, and praise, for Savanghi and for Visya, the Asha-sanctified master of Asha, for (his) sacrifice, homage, propitiation and praise, and for the sacrifice, homage, propitiation and praise of the masters of the days in their duration, and of the days during daylight, for those of the monthly festivals, and for those of the yearly ones, and for those of the seasons!

كورش نيكنام نماينده زرتشتيان ايران در مجلس شوراي اسلامي در نامهاي درخواست كرده است در تقويم از اَمرداد به جاي مرداد استفاده شود.

به گزارش گروه دريافت خبر ايسنا، متن كامل اين نامه به شرح ذيل است:

در اصل پانزدهم قانون اساسي جمهوري اسلامي ايران آمده، زبان و خط رسمي و مشترك مردم ايران فارسي است، اسناد و مكاتبات و متون رسمي و كتب رسمي بايد با اين زبان و خط باشد و در بخشي از اصل هفدهم قانون اساسي در مورد تقويم رسمي و كتب رسمي بايد با اين زبان و خط باشد و در بخشي از اصل هفدم قانون اساسي در مورد تقويم ايران، مبناي كار ادارات دولتي شمسي تعيين شده است.

بسياري از واژگاني كه در گويش و گفتار ايرانيان به عنوان زبان پارسي به كار ميرود ريشه در زبان باستاني ايران يعني اوستايي و پهلوي دارد، از جمله نام هر يك از ماههاي ايراني كه فروردين، ارديبهشت، خورداد، امرداد، شهريور تا اسفند بوده و همه از نامهاي كهن ايراني و هر يك داراي معناي ارزشمندي ميباشند تا در هر فصلي اميد به بيداري، زنده بودن، تلاش و سازندگي را به ملت سرافراز ايران از هر دين و قوم و نژادي يادآوري كرده باشند.

نخستين روز از ماه دوم تابستان يعني امرداد را آغاز كردهايم، در حالي كه بسياري از مردم ايران كه به معناي درست نام اين ماه پي نبردهاند، اين كلمه را به اشتباه مرداد ادا ميكنند.

مرداد در فرهنگ و زبان ايران باستان به معناي مرگ و نيستي است كه به نادرست در ميان 11 ماه سال قرار گرفته و هم خواني با فلسفه اسامي ماههاي ديگر ندارد. ازآنجا كه ايرانيان پيوسته به زندگي، سرسبزي، كار و كوشش و پيشرفت، انديشه داشتهاند، در اوج گرماي تابستان نام اين ماه را نيز امرداد به معناي پايداري و جاودانگي گذاشتهاند.

از زماني كه تقويم خورشيدي براي گاه شماري ايرانيان برگزيده شده نام اين ماه در تقويم ايران امرداد ناميده شد، ولي سالها بعد به دليل نام معلوم و نادرستي در گويش مردم تغيير كرده و به مرداد تبديل شد، يعني زنده بودن و تلاش كردن و پيوستن به جاودانگي در تقويم جاي خود را در مرگ و مردن و نابودي داد.

سال گذشته در تذكري به دولت پيشنهاد دادم تا اين واژه را در تقويم ايراني اصلاح نمايند، و مرداد را به امرداد تغيير دهند، ولي تاكنون راهكار مناسبي برگزيده نشده است. در حالي كه شايسته نيست تا ايرانيان زنده و هوشيار در اين ماه با گفتن مرداد از مرگ و نيستي ياد كنند.

اكنون پيشنهاد دارم تا در يك عزم و اراده مردمي و همگاني نام اين ماه را درست به كار برده، آن را امرداد بگوييم تا در تقويم و فرهنگ ملت بزرگوار ايران، مرگ و نيستي جاي خود را به زندگي، پويايي و جاودانگي داده باشد.

امردادگان خجسته باد!

به خشنودی اهورامزدا



امردادگان خجسته باد!



امرداد روز در امرداد ماه که روز هفتم است جشن امردادگان می باشد و به تاريخ خورشيدی برابر ۳ امردادماه است اين جشن متعلق به امشاسپند امرتات که مظهر جاودانگی و تندرستی و دير زيستن است .قبل از هر چيز بايد درباره واژه اشتباه مرداد توضيح داده شود؛واژه اوستايی امرداد امرتاته amertata است که به معنای بی مرگی است و اگر الف آن را که پيشوند نفی است از قلم بياندازيم معنی آِن عوض شده و فرشته بيمرگی و جاودانگی به ديو نيستی و مرگ تغيير شکل می دهد .زيرا همانطور که امرداد به معنی بی مرگی است مرداد معنی مرگ می دهد .بنابراين شايسته است که اين کلمه را امرداد بخوانيم.بطوريکه در بحث امشاسپندان توضيح داديم اين فرشته نماينده آخرين مرتبه کمالاتست .
صفات پاک فرشته امرداد و توجه او نسبت بآبادی زمين و پاکی و نظافت بطور مشروح بيان شد نظر بهمان صفات پاک و پسنديده است که ايرانيان اين روز را جشن می گرفتند و به شادی می پرداختند و خود را برای پيروی از فرشته مذکور آماده می ساختند .ابوريحان در صفحه ۲۵۰ ترجمه فارسی آثارالباقيه می نويسد ((مرداد ماه روز هفتم آن مرداد روز است و آنروز را بواسطه اتفاق افتادن دو اسم با هم جشن می گرفتند معنای مرداد آنست که مرگ و نيستی نداشته باشد مرداد فرشته ايست که بحفظ گيتی و تربيت غذاها و دواها که اصل آن نباتات است وزائل کننده گرسنگی و ضرر و امراض می باشد موکل است))

نياکان ما در اين روز به باغها و مزارع خرم و دلنشين می رفتند و پس از نيايش به درگاه اهورامزدا اين جشن را با شادی و سرور در هوای صاف و در دامن طبيعت برگزار می کردند.جشن امردادگان بر تمامی ايرانيان فرخنده باد.
