Simple Translation
2583. Is this the nature of this world?
Some ignorant people worship small gods
and it is if they were worshiping a wooden plank
when they have a mother who gave birth to them.
When they have their own ancient first god
who created, split open, and measured the earth,
giving them his grace,
they do not worship him but they worship small gods
thinking that they are the real gods.
They offer them meat and then eat it
and do many wrong things,
worshiping in a way that will give them only sorrow.
As they enjoy their lives,
they are involved in the illusions of this world,
only to be born again and suffer again in life.
