Recitativ Tenor-Solo Der hehre Engel, der die Pforte Des Lichts bewacht, vernimmt die Worte, Und wie er lauscht und näher schleicht Dem sanften Lied, entsinkt ihm eine Träne; Er sprach: Der Engel Dir, Kind des Stamms, schön, doch voll Sünden Kann eine frohe Hoffnung ich noch künden. Im Schicksalsbuche stehn die Worte: »Es sei der Schuld die Peri bar, Die bringt zu dieser ew'gen Pforte Des Himmels liebste Gabe dar!« Geh, suche sie und werde rein: Gern laß ich die Entsühnten ein!

Récitatif Ténor solo L'ange glorieux par qui la porte De la lumière était gardée, Et comme il s'approchait plus près et entendait Le doux chant, il fit tomber une larme ; Il dit : L'ange Pour toi, enfant du tronc, belle, mais pleine de péchés Je peux annoncer pourtant un espoir heureux. Dans le livre du destin se trouvent les paroles : « La faute de la Péri sera effacée Si elle apporte à cette porte éternelle Le don que le ciel aime par-dessus tout ! » Va, cherche-le et tu deviendras pure : Je laisserai volontiers entrer celle qui a expié !
