TheShumhata (Classical Mandaic:ࡔࡅࡌࡄࡀࡕࡀ,romanized: Šumhata,lit. 'Names') is one of the most commonly recited prayers inMandaeism.[1]

The Shumhata is numbered as Prayer 173 inE. S. Drower's version of theQulasta,[2] which was based on manuscript 53 of theDrower Collection (abbreviated DC 53).[3]

The Shumhata prayer

[edit]

Like theAsut Malkia, theShumhata is alitany which lists following the names (in Drower's 1959 version).[2] The Mandaic below in parentheses has been transliterated fromAl-Mubaraki (2010).[4]

  1. Hayyi Rabbi andManda d-Hayyi (šuma d̠-hiia u-šuma d̠-manda d̠-hiia madkar ʿlak)
  2. aina (well-spring) (šuma d̠-aina rabtia kasita qadmaita madkar ʿlak)
  3. sindirka (date palm orsandarac[5] tree) (šuma d̠-sindirka rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
  4. Šišlam Rba (šuma d̠-šišlam rba madkar ʿlak)
  5. Ezlat Rabtia (šuma d̠-ʿzlat rabtia madkar ʿlak)
  6. Yawar Rba (šuma d̠-iauar rba madkar ʿlak)
  7. Simat Hiia (šuma d̠-simat hiia madkar ʿlak)
  8. Yukabar Rba (šuma d̠-iukabar rba madkar ʿlak)
  9. Mana and hiscounterpart (šuma d̠-mana u-dmuta madkar ʿlak)
  10. Great Mystery, the mystic Word (šuma d̠-raza rba pugdama kasia madkar ʿlak)
  11. S'haq Ziwa Rba Qadmaia (šuma d̠-shaq ziua rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
  12. Sam Ziwa (šuma d̠-sam ziua dakia bukra habiba rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
  13. Hayyi Rabbi andManda d-Hayyi (second repetition) (šuma d̠-hiia u-šuma d̠-manda d̠-hiia madkar ʿlak)

Each of the names is preceded by "[the] name of" (Classical Mandaic:ࡔࡅࡌࡀ ࡖ,romanized: šuma d̠-) and followed by the phrase "is pronounced upon thee" (Classical Mandaic:ࡌࡀࡃࡊࡀࡓ ࡏࡋࡀࡊ,romanized: madkar ʿlak). This list of names, which is also repeated in the commentary ofPrayer 18 of the Qulasta, is followed by a request to be protected from illnesses and misfortunes.[6]

A similar litany prayer that comes after the Shumhata is theKing of Kings (malka d̠-kulhun malkia) prayer, which is Prayer 176 of theQulasta.
