Translation

The lord does not accept anyone's sin, nor even merit.

It is by the masking of knowledge by ignorance that creatures stray.

Translation

The Lord does not take the (responsibility for) good or evil deeds of anybody. The knowledge is covered by (the veil of) ignorance, thereby people are deluded.

Translation

Nor does the Supreme Spirit assume anyone's sinful or pious activities. Embodied beings, however, are bewildered because of the ignorance which covers their real knowledge.
