The Oath of The Father I will not abandon you, my son

The Oath of The Father

I will not abandon you, my son.

I will help you face the consequences of your actions.

I will show you how to shoulder your responsibility as a man.

I will teach you how to make yourself safe in a world full of danger.

And my voice will go with you for all your generations, just as my ancestors voices are within me.

By doing this, I pay my debt to you, my son.

And you, in turn, pay your debt to your ancestors by having children of your own.

So that the chain of our descendants will stretch out into the stars.

Forever and forever.
