|
|
69:4 The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray [all] the sons of God, and brought them
|
68:4The name of the first is Yekun: he it was who seduced all the sons of the holy angels; and causing them to
|
69:4 The name of the first Jeqûn; he is the one who has led astray all the children of the holy angels, and has led them
|
|
69:5 down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled
|
descend on earth, led astray the offspring of men. 68:5The name of the second is Kesabel, who pointed out evil counsel to the sons of the holy angels, and induced them to corrupt
|
down on the earth, and has led them astray through the daughters of men.69:5 And the second is called Asbeêl; he is the one who has taught the children of the holy angels the wicked device, and has led them astray to destroy
|
|
69:6 their bodies with the daughters of men. And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons
|
their bodies by generating mankind. 68:6The name of the third is Gadrel: he discovered every stroke of death to the children of men. 68:7He seduced Eve; and discovered to the children of men the instruments of death, the coat of mail, the shield, and the sword for slaughter; every instrument
|
their bodies with the daughters of men.69:6 And the third is called Gâdreêl; he is the one who has taught the children of men all the blows of death, and led astray Eve, and showed to the children of men the instruments of death, the coat-of-mail and the shield and the sword for battle, and all the instruments
|
|
69:7 of death to the children of men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell
|
of death to the children of men. 68:8From his hand were these things derived to them who dwell
|
of death to the sons of men.69:7 And from his hand they have come over those who dwell
|
|
69:8 on the earth from that day and for evermore. And the fourth was named Penemue: he taught the
|
upon earth, from that period for ever. 68:9The name of the fourth is Penemue: he discovered to the
|
on the earth, from that time to eternity,69:8 And the fourth is called Pênêmû; he has taught
|
|
69:9 children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to
|
children of men bitterness and sweetness; 68:10And pointed out to them every secret of their wisdom. 68:11He taught men to understand writing, and the use of ink and paper. 68:12Therefore numerous have been those who have gone astray from every
|
the sons of men the bitter and the sweet, and taught them all the secrets of their wisdom.69:9 He taught men writing with ink and paper (GTR), and thereby many sinned from eternity and to
|
|
69:10 eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation
|
period of the world, even to this day. 68:13For men were not born for this, thus with pen and with ink to confirm
|
eternity and up to this day.69:10 For men were not born to the purpose that they should thus strengthen
|
|
69:11 to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power
|
their faith; 68:14Since they were not created, except that, like the angels, they might remain righteous and pure. 68:15Nor would death, which destroys everything, have effected them; 68:16But by this their knowledge they perish, and by this also its power
|
their fidelity with a pen (GTR) and with ink.69:11 For man was not created otherwise than the angels, that they should remain just and pure, and death, which destroys all things, would not have touched them, but through this their knowledge they are destroyed, and through this power
|
|
69:12 it is consuming me. And the fifth was named Kasdeja: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of the serpent, and the smitings
|
consumes them. 68:17The name of the fifth is Kasyade: he discovered to the children of men every wicked stroke of spirits and of demons: 68:18The stroke of the embryo in the womb, to diminish it; the stroke of the spirit by the bite of the serpent, and the stroke
|
it devours me.69:12 And the fifth is named Kasdejâ; he has taught the sons of men all the wicked beatings of the spirits and the demons, the beatings of the birth in the womb, that it [i.e. the birth] fall, and the beatings of the soul, the bites of the serpent, and the beatings
|
|
69:13 which befall through the noontide heat, the son of the serpent named Taba'et. And this is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high
|
which is given in the mid-day by the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet. 68:19This is the number of the Kasbel; the principal part of the oath which the Most High,
|
which take place at noon, the son of the serpent whose name is Tabâ’t.69:13 And this is the number of Kesbeêl, who showed the head of the oath to the holy ones, when he dwelt high
|
|
69:14 above in glory, and its name is Biqa. This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of Michael.
|
dwelling in glory, revealed to the holy ones. 68:20Its name is Beka. He spoke to holy Michael to discover to them the sacred name, that they might understand that secret name, and thus remember the oath; and that those who pointed out every secret thing to the children of men might tremble at that name and oath. 68:21This is the power of that oath; for powerful it is, and strong. 68:22And he established this oath of Akae by the instrumentality of the holy Michael.
|
in glory; and his name is Bêqâ.69:14 And this one said to the holy Michael that he should show them the secret name, that they might see that secret name, and that they might mention this name in the oath, and they may tremble before that name and the oath, those that showed to the children of men all that is secret.69:15 And this is the power of that oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akâe’ into the hands of the holy Michael.
|
|
69:16 And these are the secrets of this oath... And they are strong through his oath: And the heaven was suspended before the world was created, And for ever.
|
68:23These are the secrets of this oath, and by it were they confirmed. 68:24Heaven was suspended by it before the world was made, for ever.
|
69:16 And these are the secrets of this oath, and they were strengthened by his oath, and heaven was suspended before the earth was made, and to eternity.
|
|
69:17 And through it the earth was founded upon the water, And from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters, From the creation of the world and unto eternity.
|
68:25By it has the earth been founded upon the flood; while from the concealed parts of the hills the agitated waters proceed forth from the creation to the end of the world.
|
69:17 And by it the earth was founded on the water, and from the secret places of the mountains come beautiful waters for the living, from the creation of the world to eternity.
|
|
69:18 And through that oath the sea was created,And as its foundation He set for it the sand against the time of (its) anger, And it dare not pass beyond it from the creation of the world unto eternity.
|
68:26By this oath the sea has been formed, and the foundation of it. 68:27During the period of its fury he established the sand against it, which continues unchanged for ever;
|
69:18 And by that oath the sea was created, and as its foundation he placed for it sand for the time of rage, and it dare not pass over from the creation of the world and to eternity.
|
|
69:19 And through that oath are the depths made fast,And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity.
|
and by this oath the abyss has been made strong; nor is it removable from its station for ever and ever.
|
69:19 And by that oath the depths were strengthened and stand and do not move from their places, from eternity and to eternity.
|
|
69:20 And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course, And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.
|
68:28By this oath the sun and moon complete their progress, never swerving from the command given to them for ever and ever.
|
69:20 And by that oath the sun and the moon complete their course and depart not from their commands from eternity and to eternity.
|
|
69:21 And through that oath the stars complete their course, And He calls them by their names, And they answer Him from eternity to eternity.
|
68:29By this oath the stars complete their progress; 68:30And when their names are called, they return an answer, for ever and ever.
|
69:21 And by that oath the stars complete their courses, and he calls their names and they answer him from eternity and to eternity.

|
69:21 [And in like manner the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and of all zephyrs, and (their) paths

68:31Thus in the heavens take place the blowings of the winds: all of them have breathings, and effect

|
|
69:25 And this oath is mighty over them And through it [they are preserved and] their paths are preserved, And their course is not destroyed.
|
68:36And with them he establishes this oath, by which they and their paths are preserved; nor does their progress perish.
|
69:25 And over them this oath is strong, and they are preserved by it, and their paths are preserved, and the courses are not destroyed.

68:39He sat upon the throne of his glory; and the principal part of the judgment was assigned to him, the Son of man. Sinners shall disappear and perish from the face of the earth, while those who seduced them

69:29 And from that time on there will be nothing that will be destroyed, for he, the Son of Man, has appeared, and sits on the throne of his glory, and all wickedness will disappear before his face and depart; but the word of that Son of Man will be strong before the Lord of the spirits.

70:1Afterwards my spirit was concealed, ascending into the heavens. I beheld the sons of the holy angels treading on flaming fire, whose garments and robes were white, and whose countenances were transparent as crystal.
|
71:1 And it came to pass after this that my spirit was hidden, and it ascended into the heavens; there I saw the sons of the angels stepping on a flame of fire; their clothes were white and also their garments; and the light of their faces was like crystal.

71:5 And he translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens, And I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals, And between those crystals tongues of living fire.

70:6And he concealed the spirit of Enoch in the heaven of heavens. 70:7There I beheld, in the midst of that light, a building raised with stones of ice; 70:8And in the midst of these stone vibrations of living fire.

71:5 And the spirit moved Enoch into the heaven of heavens. And I saw there in the midst of the light how there was something which was built of crystal stone, and between these stones tongues of living fire.

71:6 And my spirit saw the girdle which girt that house of fire, And on its four sides were streams full of living fire, And they girt that house.

71:14 And he (i.e. the angel) came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me ' This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness, And righteousness abides over him, And the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.'
|
70:17Then that angel came to me, and with his voice saluted me, saying, You are the Son of man, who art born for righteousness, and righteousness has rested upon you. 70:18The righteousness of the Ancient of days shall not forsake you.
|
71:14 And that angel came to me and greeted me with his voice and said to me: "Thou art a son of man who was born to justice, and justice dwells over thee, and the justice of the Head of days will not depart from thee."
|
|
71:15 And he said unto me: ' He proclaims unto thee peace in the name of the world to come; For from hence has proceeded peace since the creation of the world, And so shall it be unto thee for ever and for ever and ever.
|
70:19He said, On you shall he confer peace in the name of the existing world; for from thence has peace gone forth since the world was created. 70:20And thus shall it happen to you for ever and ever.
|
71:15 And he said to me: "He calls ‘Peace’ unto thee in the name of the world which is to come, for thence peace proceeds since the creation of the world, and thus it will be to thee to eternity and from eternity to eternity.
|
|
71:16 And all shall walk in his ways since righteousness never forsaketh him: With him will be their dwelling-places, and with him their heritage, And they shall not be separated from him for ever and ever and ever. and so there shall be length of days with that Son of Man, And the righteous shall have peace and an upright way In the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.'
|
70:21All who shall exist, and who shall walk in your path of righteousness, shall not forsake you for ever. 70:22With you shall be their habitations, with you their lot; nor from you shall they be separated for ever and ever. 70:23And thus shall length of days be with the Son of man. 70:24Peace shall be to the righteous; and the path of integrity shall the righteous pursue, in the name of the Lord of spirits, for ever and ever.
|
71:16 And all who will continue to walk in thy path (thou, whom justice does not leave in eternity), their dwelling-places will be with thee, and they will not be separated from thee in eternity and from eternity to eternity.71:17 And so long life will be with that Son of Man, and peace will be to the just, and his right path to the just, in the name of the Lord of the spirits to all eternity.

72:2 and unto eternity, till the new creation is accomplished which dureth till eternity. And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary the Sun has its rising in the eastern portals of the heaven,
|
until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal. 71:2This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun and the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east,
|
and to eternity, till a new creation is made which will continue to eternity.72:2 And this is the first law of the luminaries: the luminary sun has its ascent in the portals of the heavens which are towards the east,
|
|
72:3 and its setting in the western portals of the heaven. And I saw six portals in which the sun rises, and six portals in which the sun sets and the moon rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those whom they lead: six in the east and six in the west, and all following each other
|
and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven. 71:3I beheld the gates whence the sun goes forth; and the gates where the sun sets; 71:4In which gates also the moon rises and sets; and I beheld the conductors of the stars, among those who precede them; six gates were at the rising, and six at the setting of the sun. 71:5All these respectively,
|
and his descent in the western portals of heaven.72:3 And I saw six portals, out of which the sun ascends, and six portals into which the sun descends; the moon also rises and sets in these portals, and the leaders of the stars and those led by them; six in the east and six in the west, and all, each after the other,
|
|
72:4 in accurately corresponding order: also many windows to the right and left of these portals. And first there goes forth the great luminary, named the Sun, and his circumference is like the
|
one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates. 71:6First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as
|
aright; also many windows to the right and to the left of these portals.72:4 And first comes forth the great luminary called the sun; and his circuit is like the
|
|
72:5 circumference of the heaven, and he is quite filled with illuminating and heating fire. The chariot on which he ascends, the wind drives, and the sun goes down from the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is so guided that he comes to the appropriate (lit. 'that') portal and
|
the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire. 71:7Its chariot, where it ascends, the wind blows. 71:8The sun sets in heaven, and, returning by the north, to proceed towards the east, is conducted so as to enter by that gate, and
|
circuit of the heavens, and he is entirely filled with flaming and heating fire.72:5 The wagons on which he ascends are driven by the wind, and the sun descending disappears from the heavens and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is led that he comes to that portal and
|
|
72:6 shines in the face of the heaven. In this way he rises in the first month in the great portal, which
|
illuminate the face of heaven. 71:9In the same manner it goes forth in the first month by the great gate.
|
shines on the surface of heaven.72:6 And thus he comes forth, in the first month, in the great portal, and
|
|
72:7 is the fourth [those six portals in the cast]. And in that fourth portal from which the sun rises in the first month are twelve window-openings, from which proceed a flame when they are opened in
|
71:10It goes forth through the fourth of those six gates, which are at the rising of the sun. 71:11And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened in
|
he comes forth from the fourth of these six portals towards the east.72:7 And in that fourth portal, from which the sun comes forth in the first month, there are twelve window openings, from which a flame proceeds when they are opened in
|
|
72:8 their season. When the sun rises in the heaven, he comes forth through that fourth portal thirty,
|
their proper periods. 71:12When the sun rises in heaven, it goes forth through this fourth gate thirty days,
|
their time.72:8 When the sun rises from the heavens he comes out of that fourth portal thirty
|
|
72:9 mornings in succession, and sets accurately in the fourth portal in the west of the heaven. And during this period the day becomes daily longer and the night nightly shorter to the thirtieth
|
and by the fourth gate in the west of heaven on a level with it descends. 71:13During that period the day is lengthened from the day, and the night curtailed from the night for thirty
|
mornings, and descends directly into the fourth western portal of heaven.72:9 And in those days the day is daily lengthened, and the nights nightly shortened to the thirtieth
|
|
72:10 morning. On that day the day is longer than the night by a ninth part, and the day amounts exactly to ten parts and the night to eight parts. And the sun rises from that fourth portal, and sets in the fourth and returns to the fifth portal of the east thirty mornings, and rises from it and sets in the fifth
|
days. And then the day is longer by two parts than the night. 71:14The day is precisely ten parts, and the night is eight. 71:15The sun goes forth through this fourth gate, and sets in it, and turns to the fifth gate during thirty days; after which it proceeds from, and sets in, the fifth
|
morning.72:10 And in that day the day is two parts longer than the night, and the day is exactly ten parts and the night eight parts.72:11 And the sun comes forth from this fourth portal and sets in the fourth and returns to the fifth portal of the east thirty mornings, and comes forth from it and descends into the fifth
|
|
72:12 portal. And then the day becomes longer by two parts and amounts to eleven parts, and the night
|
gate. 71:16Then the day becomes lengthened by a second portion, so that it is eleven parts: while the night
|
portal.72:12 From then on the day is lengthened two parts, and the day is eleven parts, and the night
|
|
72:13 becomes shorter and amounts to seven parts. And it returns to the east and enters into the sixth
|

|
is shortened and is seven parts.72:13 And the sun returns to the east and goes into the sixth
|
|
72:14 portal, and rises and sets in the sixth portal one-and-thirty mornings on account of its sign. On that day the day becomes longer than the night, and the day becomes double the night, and the day
|
gate, and rising and setting in the sixth gate thirty-one days, on account of its signs. 71:18At that period the day is longer than the night, being twice as long as the night; and
|
portal, and comes forth and descends into the sixth portal, thirty-one mornings on account of its sign.72:14 And on that day the day is longer than the night, and the day will be double the night, and the day
|
|
72:15 becomes twelve parts, and the night is shortened and becomes six parts. And the sun mounts up to make the day shorter and the night longer, and the sun returns to the east and enters into the
|
become twelve parts; 71:19But the night is shortened, and becomes six parts. Then the sun rises up, that the day may be shortened, and the night lengthened. 71:20And the sun returns toward the east entering into the

72:16 sixth portal, and rises from it and sets thirty mornings. And when thirty mornings are accomplished,
|
sixth gate, where it rises and sets for thirty days. 71:21When that period is completed,
|
sixth portal and rises from it and sets thirty mornings.72:16 And when the thirty mornings are completed
|
|
72:17 the day decreases by exactly one part, and becomes eleven parts, and the night seven. And the sun goes forth from that sixth portal in the west, and goes to the east and rises in the fifth portal for
|
the day becomes shortened precisely one part, so that it is eleven parts, while the night is seven parts. 71:22Then the sun goes from the west, from that sixth gate, and proceeds eastwards, rising in the fifth gate for
|
the day diminishes by exactly one part, and the day is eleven parts and the night seven parts.72:17 And the sun comes forth from this sixth portal in the west and goes to the east and rises in the fifth portal
|
|
72:18 thirty mornings, and sets in the west again in the fifth western portal. On that day the day decreases by two parts, and amounts to ten parts and the night to eight parts. And the sun goes forth from that fifth portal and sets in the fifth portal of the west, and rises in the fourth portal for one-
|
thirty days, and setting again westwards in the fifth gate of the west. 71:23At that period the day becomes shortened two parts; and is ten parts, while the night is eight parts. 71:24Then the sun goes from the fifth gate, as it sets in the fifth gate of the west; and rises in the fourth gate for thirty-
|
thirty mornings and sets in the west again in the fifth portal.72:18 On that day the day diminishes two parts, and the day will be ten parts and the night eight parts.72:19 And the sun comes forth from that fifth portal and descends into the fifth portal of the west and rises in the fourth portal, on account of its sign,
|
|
72:20 and-thirty mornings on account of its sign, and sets in the west. On that day the day is equalized with the night, [and becomes of equal length], and the night amounts to nine parts and the day to
|
one days, on account of its signs, setting in the west. 71:25At that period the day is made equal with the night; and, being equal with it, the night becomes nine parts, and the day
|
thirty-one mornings and descends in the west.72:20 On that day the day is equal to the night and becomes equal, and the night is nine parts and the day
|
|
72:21 nine parts. And the sun rises from that portal and sets in the west, and returns to the east and rises
|
nine parts. 71:26Then the sun goes from that gate, as it sets in the west; and returning to the east proceeds
|
nine parts.72:21 And the sun comes forth from that portal and sets in the west and returns to the east and comes forth
|
|
72:22 thirty mornings in the third portal and sets in the west in the third portal. And on that day the night becomes longer than the day, and night becomes longer than night, and day shorter than day till the thirtieth morning, and the night amounts exactly to ten parts and the day to eight
|
by the third gate for thirty days, setting in the west at the third gate. 71:27At that period the night is lengthened from the day during thirty mornings, and the day is curtailed from the day during thirty days; the night being ten parts precisely, and the day eight
|
from the third portal thirty mornings and sets in the west in the third portal.72:22 And on that day the night is longer than the day to the thirtieth morning, and the day becomes shorter daily to the thirtieth morning, and the night is exactly ten parts and the day eight

|
72:23 parts. And the sun rises from that third portal and sets in the third portal in the west and returns to the east, and for thirty mornings rises
|
parts. 71:28The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days.
|
parts.72:23 And the sun comes forth from that third portal and sets in the third portal in the west and returns to the east, and the sun goes
|
|
72:24 in the second portal in the east, and in like manner sets in the second portal in the west of the heaven. And on that day the night amounts to eleven
|
71:29In like manner also it sets in the second gate in the west of heaven. 71:30At that period the night is eleven
|
into the second portal of the east thirty mornings, and in like manner into the second portal in the west of the heavens.72:24 And on that day the night is eleven
|
|
72:25 parts and the day to seven parts. And the sun rises on that day from that second portal and sets in the west in the second portal, and returns to the east into the first portal for one-and-thirty
|
parts, and the day seven parts. 71:31Then the sun goes at that time from the second gate, as it sets in the second gate in the west; but returns to the east, proceeding by the first gate, for thirty-one
|
parts and the day seven parts.72:25 And the sun comes forth on that day from the second portal and descends in the west into the second portal and returns to the east in the first portal thirty-one
|
|
72:26 mornings, and sets in the first portal in the west of the heaven. And on that day the night becomes longer and amounts to the double of the day: and the night amounts exactly to twelve parts and
|
days. 71:32And sets in the west in the first gate. 71:33At that period that night is lengthened as much again as the day. 71:34It is twelve parts precisely, while
|
mornings and descends into the west into the first portal.72:26 And on that day the night will be so long that it will be the double of the day, and the night is exactly twelve parts and
|
|
72:27 the day to six. And the sun has (therewith) traversed the divisions of his orbit and turns again on those divisions of his orbit, and enters that portal thirty mornings and sets also in the west
|
the day is six parts. 71:35The sun has thus completed its beginnings, and a second time goes round from these beginnings. 71:36Into that first gate it enters for thirty days, and sets in the west,
|
the day six parts.72:27 And with that the sun has completed his stations, and he again returns to his station and enters in this portal thirty mornings; he rises and sets
|
|
72:28 opposite to it. And on that night has the night decreased in length by a ninth part, and the night
|
in the opposite part of heaven. 71:37At that period the night is contracted in its length a fourth part, that is, one portion,
|
opposite it in the west.72:28 And on that day the night diminishes in length by one part, and
|
|
72:29 has become eleven parts and the day seven parts. And the sun has returned and entered into the second portal in the east, and returns on those his divisions of his orbit for thirty mornings, rising
|
and becomes eleven parts. 71:38The day is seven parts. 71:39Then the sun returns, and enters into the second gate of the east. 71:40It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising
|
is eleven parts and the day seven parts.72:29 And the sun returns and goes into the second portal of the east and returns to his course thirty mornings, rising
|
|
72:30 and setting. And on that day the night decreases in length, and the night amounts to ten parts
|
and setting. 71:41At that period the night is contracted in its length. It becomes ten parts,
|
and setting.72:30 And on that day the night diminishes in length, and the night is ten parts
|
|
72:31 and the day to eight. And on that day the sun rises from that portal, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third portal for one-and-thirty mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven.
|
and the day eight parts. Then the sun goes from that second gate, and sets in the west; but returns to the east, and rises in the east, in the third gate, thirty-one days, setting in the west of heaven.
|
and the day eight parts.72:31 And on that day the sun comes forth from the second portal and descends in the west and returns to the east and rises in the third portal thirty-one mornings and sets in the west of the heavens.
|
|
72:32 On that day the night decreases and amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts, and the night
|
71:42At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night
|
72:32 And on that day the night is shortened and is nine parts, and the day is nine parts, and the night
|
|
72:33 is equal to the day and the year is exactly as to its days three hundred and sixty-four. And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night arise-through the course
|
is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days. 71:43The lengthening of the day and night, and the contraction of the day and night, are made to differ from each other by the progress
|
is equal with the day, and the year has exactly three hundred and sixty-four days.72:33 And the length of the day and of the night, and the shortness of the day and of the night—by the course
|
|
72:34 of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. ' they are separated '). So it comes that its course becomes
|
of the sun. 71:44By means of this progress the day is
|
of the sun they are made separated.72:34 On that account the day-course becomes
|
|
72:35 daily longer, and its course nightly shorter. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to
|
daily lengthened, and the night greatly shortened. 71:45This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days, and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever. 71:46This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its
|
longer daily and the night-course shorter nightly.72:35 And this is the law and the course of the sun and his return when he returns; sixty times he returns and comes out, that is the great, eternal luminary which is called the sun to all eternity.72:36 And that which thus ascends is the great luminary, as it is called on account of
|
|
72:37 its appearance, according as the Lord commanded. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.
|
peculiar kind, as God commanded. 71:47And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon; but the dimensions of both are equal.
|
its appearance, according to the command of the Lord.72:37 And thus he ascends and descends, and is not diminished, and does not rest, but runs day and night in his chariot, and his light shines seven times stronger than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.

73:1 And after this law I saw another law dealing with the smaller luminary, which is named the Moon.

72:1After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon,

73:1 And after this law I saw another law with reference to the smaller luminary whose name is moon.

73:2 And her circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and her chariot in which she rides is driven by the wind, and light is given to her in (definite) measure.

and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven. 72:2Its chariot, which it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure.
|
73:2 And her circuit is like the circuit of the heavens, and her chariot in which she rides is driven by the wind, and in a measure light is given to her.
|
|
73:3 And her rising and setting change every month: and her days are like the days of the sun, and when her light is uniform (i.e. full) it amounts to the seventh part of the light of the sun.
|
72:3Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun. And when in like manner its light is to exist, its light is a seventh portion from the light of the sun.
|
73:3 Every month her ascent and her descent is changed; her days are like the days of the sun, and when her light is equal [full] her light is the seventh part of the light of the sun.
|
|
73:4 And thus she rises. And her first phase in the east comes forth on the thirtieth morning: and on that day she becomes visible, and constitutes for you the first phase of the moon on the thirtieth day together with the sun in the portal where the sun rises.
|
72:4Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days. 72:5At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days it is with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth.
|
73:4 And thus she rises. And her beginning in the east comes forth on the thirtieth morning, and on that day she becomes visible and is for you the beginning of the moon, on the thirtieth morning, together with the sun in the portal whence the sun proceeds.
|
|
73:5 And the one half of her goes forth by a seventh part, and her whole circumference is empty, without light, with the exception of one-seventh part of it, (and) the
|
72:6Half of it is in extent seven portions, one half; and the whole of its orb is void of light, except a seventh portion out of the
|
73:5 And the one half is prominent by the seventh part, and her whole circuit is empty, and there is no light with the exception of the one seventh part of the
|
|
73:6 fourteenth part of her light. And when she receives one-seventh part of the half of her light, her light
|
fourteen portions of its light. And in a day it receives a seventh portion, or half that portion, of its light. Its light
|
fourteen parts of light.73:6 And on that day when she takes up the seventh part and the half of her light, her light
|
|
73:7 amounts to one-seventh part and the half thereof. And she sets with the sun, and when the sun rises the moon rises with him and receives the half of one part of light, and in that night in the beginning of her morning [in the commencement of the lunar day] the moon sets with the sun, and
|
is by sevens, by one portion, and by the half of a portion. Its sets with the sun. 72:7And when the sun rises, the moon rises with it; receiving half a portion of light. 72:8On that night, when it commences its period, previously to the day of the month, the moon sets with the sun. 72:9And
|
contains one seventh and one seventh part and the half of it. She sets with the sun.73:7 And when the sun rises the moon also rises with him and takes a half portion of light, and in that night in the beginning of her morning on her first day the moon sets with the sun, and
|
|
73:8 is invisible that night with the fourteen parts and the half of one of them. And she rises on that day with exactly a seventh part, and comes forth and recedes from the rising of the sun, and in her remaining days she becomes bright in the (remaining) thirteen parts.
|
on that night it is dark in its fourteen portions, that is, in each half; but it rises on that day with one seventh portion precisely, and in its progress declines from the rising of the sun. 72:10During the remainder of its period its light increases to fourteen portions.
|
is darkened in that night, with the seventh and the seventh portions and the half of one.73:8 And she will rise on that day with exactly the seventh part, and will come out and become smaller from the rising of the sun and shine the rest of her days, with the seventh and the seventh part.

relating to them, Uriel showed me, the holy angel who conducted them all. 73:2Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me. 73:3I wrote down their months,

74:3 as they were, and the appearance of their lights till fifteen days were accomplished. In single seventh parts she accomplishes all her light in the east, and in single seventh parts accomplishes all her
|
as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days. 73:4In each of its two seven portions it completes all its light at rising
|
as they were and the appearance of their lights till fifteen days are completed.74:3 And in seven single parts she completes all her light in the east, and in seven single parts she completes all her
|
|
74:4 darkness in the west. And in certain months she alters her settings, and in certain months she pursues
|
and at setting. 73:5On stated months it changes its settings; and on stated months it makes
|
darkness in the west.74:4 And in certain months she changes her settings, and in certain months she goes
|
|
74:5 her own peculiar course. In two months the moon sets with the sun: in those two middle portals the
|
its progress through each gate. In two gates the moon sets with the sun, viz. in those two gates which are in the midst,
|
her peculiar course.74:5 And in two the moon sets with the sun, in those two portals which are in the middle,
|
|
74:6 third and the fourth. She goes forth for seven days, and turns about and returns again through the portal where the sun rises, and accomplishes all her light: and she recedes from the sun, and in eight
|
in the third and fourth gate. From the third gate it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit. 73:6Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight
|
in the third and in the fourth portal.74:6 She comes forth seven days, and turns and returns again by that portal through which the sun comes; and in that she completes all her light and recedes from the sun; and enters in eight
|
|
74:7 days enters the sixth portal from which the sun goes forth. And when the sun goes forth from the fourth portal she goes forth seven days, until she goes forth from the fifth and turns back again in seven days into the fourth portal and accomplishes all her light: and she recedes and enters into the
|
days into the sixth gate, and returns in seven days to the third gate, from which the sun goes forth. 73:7When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the moon goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth gate. 73:8Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the
|
days into the sixth portal, through which the sun comes forth.74:7 And when the sun comes out of the fourth portal she comes out seven days, so that she comes out of the fifth, and returns again in seven days into the fourth portal and completes all her light, and recedes and enters the
|
|
74:8 first portal in eight days. And she returns again in seven days into the fourth portal from which the
|
first gate in eight days; 73:9And returns in seven days to the fourth gate, from which the
|
first portal in eight days.74:8 And she returns again in seven days to the fourth portal, through which the
|
|
74:9 sun goes forth. Thus I saw their position -how the moons rose and the sun set in those days. And if five years are added together the sun has an overplus of thirty days, and all the days which accrue
|
sun goes forth. 73:10Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets. 73:11At those times there is an excess of thirty days belonging to the sun
|
sun comes forth.74:9 Thus I saw their places, the sun rising and setting according to the order of their months.74:10 And in those days, if five years are taken together, the sun has thirty superabundant days; and all the days which belong
|
|
74:11 to it for one of those five years, when they are full, amount to 364 days. And the overplus of the sun and of the stars amounts to six days: in 5 years 6 days every year come to 30 days: and the
|
in five years; all the days belonging to each year of the five years, when completed, amount to three hundred and sixty-four days; and to the sun and stars belong six days; six days in each of the five years; thus thirty days belonging to them; 73:12So that the
|
to him for one of these five years, when they are full, are three hundred and sixty-four days.74:11 And the superabundance of the sun and of the stars is six days; of five years, each at six, are thirty days, and the
|
|
74:12 moon falls behind the sun and stars to the number of 30 days. And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days. In 3 years there are 1,092 days, and in 5 years 1,820 days, so that in 8 years there are 2,912 days. For the moon alone the days amount in 3 years to 1,062 days, and in 5 years she falls 50 days behind: [i.e. to the sum (of 1,770) there is 5 to be added (1,000 and) 62 days.] And in 5 years there are 1,770 days, so that for the moon the days 6 in 8 years amount to 21,832 days. [For in 8 years she falls behind to the amount of 80 days], all the

moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars. 73:13The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days. 73:14To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less than the sun, for an addition being made to the one thousand and sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days. 73:15For its days in eight years are less than those of the sun by eighty days,
|
moon recedes from the sun and the stars thirty days.74:12 And the moon brings in all the years exact, so that their place neither precedes nor recedes one day, but she changes the years with exact justice in three hundred and sixty-four days.74:13 Three years have one thousand and ninety-two days; and five years, eighteen hundred and twenty days; so that there will be in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.74:14 To the moon alone belongs for three years one thousand and sixty-two days, and for five years she recedes fifty days, viz. to the sum of these are added sixty-two days.74:15 And thus in five years there will be seventeen hundred and seventy days, so that the days of the moon for eight years will be two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days.74:16 For her receding in eight years is eighty days, and all the
|
|
74:17 days she falls behind in 8 years are 80. And the year is accurately completed in conformity with their world-stations and the stations of the sun, which rise from the portals through which it (the sun) rises and sets 30 days.
|
which eighty days are its diminution in eight years. 73:16The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moon, and the station of the sun; which rise in the different gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days.
|
days she remains behind in eight years are eighty days.74:17 And the year is justly finished, in accordance with their stations and the stations of the sun, rising through their portals, through which they rise and set thirty days.

75:3 accomplished through its separate three hundred and sixty-four stations. For the signs and the times and the years and the days the angel Uriel showed to me, whom the Lord of glory hath set for ever over all the luminaries of the heaven, in the heaven and in the world, that they should rule on the face of the heaven and be seen on the earth, and be leaders for the day and the night, i.e. the sun, moon, and stars, and all the ministering creatures which make their revolution in all the chariots

75:4 of the heaven. In like manner twelve doors Uriel showed me, open in the circumference of the sun's chariot in the heaven, through which the rays of the sun break forth: and from them is warmth

of heaven. 74:10Thus Uriel showed me twelve gates open for the circuit of the chariots of the sun in heaven, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth. 74:11From these proceed heat

of heaven.75:4 The angel Uriel showed me also twelve openings in the circuit of the chariot of the sun from which the feet [i.e. the rays] of the sun come forth; and from them comes the warmth
|

75:5 diffused over the earth, when they are opened at their appointed seasons. [And for the winds and

over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds,

over the earth, when they are opened at times destined for them.75:5 There are also some for the winds and

|
75:6 the spirit of the dew when they are opened, standing open in the heavens at the ends.] As for the twelve portals in the heaven, at the ends of the earth, out of which go forth the sun, moon, and stars,
|
and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at its extremities. 74:12Twelve gates I beheld in heaven, at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars,
|
for the spirit of the dew, when they are opened at times, standing open in the heavens at the ends.75:6 Twelve doors I saw in the heavens, in the ends of the earth, out of which come forth the sun and the moon and the stars

75:7 and all the works of heaven in the east and in the west, There are many windows open to the left and right of them, and one window at its (appointed) season produces warmth, corresponding (as these do) to those doors from which the stars come forth according as He has commanded them,
|
and all the works of heaven, proceed at their rising and setting. 74:13Many windows also are open on the right and on the left.] 74:14One window at a certain season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded,
|
and all the deeds of heaven, from the east and from the west.75:7 And many window-openings are to the left and to the right thereof, and one window in its time produces warmth, like those portals from which the stars come forth as he has commanded them,

75:8 and wherein they set corresponding to their number. And I saw chariots in the heaven, running
|
and in which they set according to their number. 74:15I saw likewise the chariots of heaven, running

and in which they set according to their number.75:8 And I saw chariots in heaven, running
|
|
75:9 in the world, above those portals in which revolve the stars that never set. And one is larger than all the rest, and it is that that makes its course through the entire world.
|
in the world above to those gates in which the stars turn, which never set. One of these is greater than all, which goes round the whole world.

which they proceed and blow over the earth. 75:2Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and

76:4 north, and three [after those on the left] of the south, and three of the west. Through four of these come winds of blessing and prosperity, and from those eight come hurtful winds: when they are sent, they bring destruction on all the earth and on the water upon it, and on all who dwell thereon, and on everything which is in the water and on the land.

north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west. 75:3From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.
|
north, and three behind those which are on the left, towards the south, and three in the west.76:4 Through four of these come winds of blessing and of peace, and through those eight come winds of injury: when they are sent they bring destruction to all the earth and to the water on it and to all those who dwell on it and to everything that is in the water and on the land.

76:5 And the first wind from those portals, called the east wind, comes forth through the first portal which is in the east, inclining towards the south: from it come forth desolation, drought, heat,

76:5 And the first wind from these portals, which is called the eastern, comes forth from the first portal which is towards the east, inclining towards the south; out of it comes destruction, dryness and heat

76:7 And after these come forth the south winds through three portals: through the first portal of

75:6After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate,

76:7 And after these the winds towards the south come forth through three portals; firstly through the first portal of

which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind. 75:7But from the middle gate

them, which inclines towards the east, there comes forth the wind of heat.76:8 And from the middle portal, which is beside that one, there
|
|
76:9 come forth fragrant smells, and dew and rain, and prosperity and health. And through the third portal lying to the west come forth dew and rain, locusts and desolation.
|
proceed grateful odour, dew, rain, health, and life. 75:8From the third gate, which is westwards, proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction.
|
come forth a sweet incense and dew and rain and peace and life.76:9 And through the third portal, which is towards the west, there come forth dew and rain and grasshoppers and destruction.
|
|
76:10 And after these the north winds: from the seventh portal in the east come dew and rain, locusts and desolation. And from the middle portal come in a direct direction health and rain and dew and prosperity; and through the third portal in the west come cloud and hoar-frost, and snow and rain, and dew and locusts.
|
75:9After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. They proceed from three gates. The first gate is that which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight.

76:10 And after these northerly winds from the seventh portal, which is towards the east, inclining to the south, there come forth dew and rain, grasshoppers and destruction.76:11 And out of the middle portal direct there come forth rain and dew and life and peace, and through the third portal, which is towards the west, which inclines towards the north, there come forth fog and hoar-frost and snow and rain and dew and grasshoppers.

76:12 And after these [four] are the west winds: through the first portal adjoining the north come forth dew and hoar-frost, and cold and snow and frost. And from the middle portal come forth dew and rain, and prosperity and blessing; and through the last portal which adjoins the south come forth drought and desolation, and burning and destruction. And the twelve portals of the four quarters of the heaven are therewith completed, and all their laws and all their plagues and all their benefactions have I shown to thee, my son Methuselah.
|
75:10After these in the fourth quarter are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing; 75:11And from the last gate, which is southwards, proceed drought, destruction, scorching, and perdition. 75:12The account of the twelve gates of the four quarters of heaven is ended. 75:13All their laws, all their infliction of punishment, and the health produced by them, have I explained to you, my son Mathusala.

Êrâe.78:3 These are the two large luminaries; their circuit is like the circuit of

|
78:4 heaven, and the size of the circumference of both is alike. In the circumference of the sun there are seven portions of light which are added to it more than to the moon, and in definite measures it is s transferred till the seventh portion of the sun is exhausted. And they set and enter the portals of the west, and make their revolution by the north, and come forth through the eastern portals
|
heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal. 77:4In the orb of the sun there is a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon. By measure it is put in, until the seventh portion of the light of the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth
|
heaven, and in size both are equal.78:4 And in the circuit of the sun there is a seventh portion of light from which some is given to the moon, and according to a measure it is added till the seventh portion of the sun is ended.78:5 And they set and enter the portals of the west, and go around by the north, and come out of the portals of the east on to the
|
|
78:6 on the face of the heaven. And when the moon rises one-fourteenth part appears in the heaven:
|
over the face of heaven. 77:5When the moon rises, it appears in heaven;
|
surface of the heavens.78:6 And when the moon is raised she is seen in the heavens,
|
|
78:7 [the light becomes full in her]: on the fourteenth day she accomplishes her light. And fifteen parts of light are transferred to her till the fifteenth day (when) her light is accomplished, according to the sign of the year, and she becomes fifteen parts, and the moon grows by (the addition of) fourteenth
|
and the half of a seventh portion of light is all which is in it. 77:6In fourteen days the whole of its light is completed. 77:7By three quintuples light is put into it, until in fifteen days its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples. 77:8The moon has the half of a seventh
|
having in herself the half of the seventh part of the light, and in fourteen days her light is completed.78:7 Also three times five portions of light are put into her, so that on the fifteenth day her light is completed, according to the sign of the year, and it becomes three times five portions, and the moon becomes so by the half of the seventh
|
|
78:8 parts. And in her waning (the moon) decreases on the first day to fourteen parts of her light, on the second to thirteen parts of light, on the third to twelve, on the fourth to eleven, on the fifth to ten, on the sixth to nine, on the seventh to eight, on the eighth to seven, on the ninth to six, on the tenth to five, on the eleventh to four, on the twelfth to three, on the thirteenth to two, on the
|
portion. 77:9During its diminution on the first day its light decreases a fourteenth part; on the second day it decreases a thirteenth part; on the third day a twelfth part; on the fourth day an eleventh part; on the fifth day a tenth part; on the sixth day a ninth part; on the seventh day it decreases an eighth part; on the eighth day it decreases a seventh part; on the ninth day it decreases a sixth part; on the tenth day it decreases a fifth part; on the eleventh day it decreases a fourth part; on the twelfth day it decreases third part; on the thirteenth day it decreases a second part; on the
|
part.78:8 And in her decrease on the first day she decreases to fourteen parts of her light, and on the second she decreases to thirteen parts, and on the third she decreases to twelve parts, and on the fourth she decreases to eleven parts, and on the fifth she decreases to ten parts, and on the sixth she decreases to nine parts, and on the seventh she decreases to eight parts, and on the eighth she decreases to seven parts, and on the ninth she decreases to six parts, and on the tenth she decreases to five parts, and on the eleventh she decreases to four parts, and on the twelfth she decreases to three parts, and on the thirteenth she decreases to two parts,78:9 and on the
|
|
78:9 fourteenth to the half of a seventh, and all her remaining light disappears wholly on the fifteenth. And
|
fourteenth day it decreases a half of its seventh part; and on the fifteenth day the whole remainder of its light is consumed.
|
fourteenth she decreases to the half of the seventh part, and her light which was left on the whole disappears altogether on the fifteenth day.78:10 And
|
|
78:10 in certain months the month has twenty-nine days and once twenty-eight. And Uriel showed me another law: when light is transferred to the moon, and on which side it is transferred to her by the sun. During all the period during which the moon is growing in her light, she is transferring it to herself when opposite to the sun during fourteen days [her light is accomplished in the heaven,
|
77:10On stated months the moon has twenty-nine days. 77:11It also has a period of twenty-eight days. 77:12Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun. 77:13All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured into it in the presence of the sun, until its light is in fourteen days completed in heaven.
|
in certain months the moon has each time twenty-nine days, and once twenty-eight. And Uriel showed me another law, when the light is added to the moon, and from which side of the sun it is added.78:11 All the time in which the moon continues in her light she increases opposite the sun, till on the fourteenth day her light is completed in heaven;
|
|
78:12 and when she is illumined throughout, her light is accomplished full in the heaven. And on the first
|
77:14And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first
|
and when she shines in full her light is completed in the heavens.78:12 And on the first
|
|
78:13 day she is called the new moon, for on that day the light rises upon her. She becomes full moon exactly on the day when the sun sets in the west, and from the east she rises at night, and the moon shines the whole night through till the sun rises over against her and the moon is seen over against the sun. On the side whence the light of the moon comes forth, there again she wanes till all the light vanishes and all the days of the month are at an end, and her circumference is empty, void of 5 light. And three months she makes of thirty days, and at her time she makes three months of twenty-nine days each, in which she accomplishes her waning in the first period of time, and in the first 6 portal for one hundred and seventy-seven days. And in the time of her going out she appears for three months (of) thirty days each, and for three months she appears (of) twenty-nine each. At night she appears like a man for twenty days each time, and by day she appears like the heaven, and there is nothing else in her save her light.
|
day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it. 77:15It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east. 77:16The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it; when the moon disappears in turn before the sun. 77:17Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away. 77:18Then its orb remains solitary without light. 77:19During three months it effects in thirty days each month its period; and during three more months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. These are the times in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, namely, in one hundred and seventy-seven days. 77:20And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three more months it appears twenty-nine days each. 77:21In the night it appears for each twenty days as the face of a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light.
|
day she is called the new moon, for on that day the light is raised upon her.78:13 And she is completed exactly on the day the sun descends in the west and when at night she ascends from the east and shines all night till the sun rises opposite her and the moon is seen opposite the sun.78:14 Whence the light of the moon comes, there again she decreases till all her light disappears, and the days of the moon cease, and her circuit remains empty without light.78:15 And three months she makes thirty days in her time, and three months she makes each time twenty-nine days, in which she makes her decrease, in the first time and in the first portal for one hundred and seventy-seven days.78:16 And in the time of her departure she is seen each time thirty days during three months, and each time twenty-nine days during three months.78:17 At night she appears each time as a man twenty times, and during the day like the heavens, for there is nothing in her except her light.

80:1 And in those days the angel Uriel answered and said to me: ' Behold, I have shown thee everything, Enoch, and I have revealed everything to thee that thou shouldst see this sun and this moon, and the leaders of the stars of the heaven and all those who turn them, their tasks and times and departures.
|
79:1In those days Uriel answered and said to me, Behold, I have showed you all things, O Enoch; 79:2And all things have I revealed to you. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return.

80:1 And in those days Uriel answered and said to me: "Behold, I have showed thee all things, O Enoch, and have revealed to thee that thou shouldst see this sun and this moon, and those who lead the stars of heaven and all those that revolve, their deeds and their times and their departures.

80:2 And in the days of the sinners the years shall be shortened, And their seed shall be tardy on their lands and fields, And all things on the earth shall alter, And shall not appear in their time: And the rain shall be kept back And the heaven shall withhold (it).
|
79:3In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. 79:4Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still.
|
80:2 And in the days of the sinners the years will be shortened, and their seed will be tardy on their lands and on their meadows, and everything on the earth will change and will not appear in its time; the rain will be prevented, and the heavens will retain it.

80:3 And in those times the fruits of the earth shall be backward, And shall not grow in their time, And the fruits of the trees shall be withheld in their time.

79:5In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden.

81:1 And he said unto me: ' Observe, Enoch, these heavenly tablets, And read what is written thereon, And mark every individual fact.'

80:1He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down; and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it.
|
81:1 And he said to me: "O Enoch, contemplate the writing of the tablets of heaven, and read what is written thereon, and learn each one."
|
|
81:2 And I observed the heavenly tablets, and read everything which was written (thereon) and understood everything, and read the book of all the deeds of mankind, and of all the children of flesh

80:2Then I looked on all which was written, and understood all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man; 80:3And of all the children of flesh

upon earth, during the generations of the world. 80:4Immediately after I blessed the Lord, the King of glory, who has thus for ever formed the whole workmanship of the world. 80:5And I glorified the Lord, on account of his long-suffering and blessing towards the children of the world.
|
who will be on the earth to the generation of eternity.81:3 And then I immediately blessed the Lord and the everlasting King of glory, that he had made all the things of the earth, and I blessed the Lord on account of his patience, and blessed him on account of the children of the world.
|
|
81:4 And after that I said: ' Blessed is the man who dies in righteousness and goodness, Concerning whom there is no book of unrighteousness written, And against whom no day of judgement shall be found.'
|
80:6At that time I said, Blessed is the man, who shall die righteous and good, against whom no catalogue of crime has been written, and with whom iniquity is not found.

83:2 them before thee. Two visions I saw before I took a wife, and the one was quite unlike the other: the first when I was learning to write: the second before I took thy mother, (when) I saw a terrible

prior to your birth. I will relate another vision, which I saw before I was married; they resemble each other. 82:2The first was when I was learning a book; and the other before I was married to your mother. I saw a potent

83:3 vision. And regarding them I prayed to the Lord. I had laid me down in the house of my grandfather Mahalalel, (when) I saw in a vision how the heaven collapsed and was borne off and fell to

84:1 And I lifted up my hands in righteousness and blessed the Holy and Great One, and spake with the breath of my mouth, and with the tongue of flesh, which God has made for the children of the flesh of men, that they should speak therewith, and He gave them breath and a tongue and a mouth that they should speak therewith:
|
83:1I lifted up my hands in righteousness, and blessed the holy, and the Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with.
|
84:1 And I raised my hands in justice, and blessed the Holy and the Great One, and I spoke with the breath of my mouth and with the tongue of flesh, which God has made for the children of men, that they should speak with it, and gave them breath and the tongue and the mouth, that they might speak therewith:
|
|
84:2 Blessed be Thou, O Lord, King, Great and mighty in Thy greatness, Lord of the whole creation of the heaven, King of kings and God of the whole world. And Thy power and kingship and greatness abide for ever and ever, And throughout all generations Thy dominion; And all the heavens are Thy throne for ever, And the whole earth Thy footstool for ever and ever.

83:2Blessed are you, O Lord, the King, great and powerful in your greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, whose kingdom, and whose majesty endure for ever and ever. 83:3From generation to generation shall your dominion exist. All the heavens are your throne for ever, and all the earth your footstool for ever and for ever.

84:3 For Thou hast made and Thou rulest all things, And nothing is too hard for Thee, Wisdom departs not from the place of Thy throne, Nor turns away from Thy presence. And Thou knowest and seest and hearest everything, And there is nothing hidden from Thee [for Thou seest everything].
|
83:4For you have made them, and over all you reign. No act whatsoever exceeds your power. With your wisdom is unchangeable; nor from your throne and from your presence is it ever averted. You know all things, see and hear them; nor is anything concealed from you; for you perceive all things.

|
83:6Now then, O God, Lord and mighty King, I entreat you, and beseech you to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left to me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish; 83:7That the earth may not be left destitute, and destruction take place for ever.

84:5 And now, God and Lord and great King, I petition and ask that thou wouldst establish my prayer for me, that there remain to me a posterity on earth, and that thou wouldst not annihilate all the flesh of men, and not make empty the whole earth, and there be an everlasting destruction.

84:6 And now, my Lord, destroy from the earth the flesh which has aroused Thy wrath, But the flesh of righteousness and uprightness establish as a plant of the eternal seed, And hide not Thy face from the prayer of Thy servant, O Lord.'

83:8O my Lord, let the race perish from off the earth which has offended you, but a righteous and upright race establish for a posterity for ever. Hide not your face, O Lord, from the prayer of your servant.

And Enoch lifted up (his voice) and spake to his son Methuselah: ' To thee, my son, will I speak: hear my words-incline thine ear to the dream-vision of thy father.

Before I married your mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed; 84:2And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth; 84:3And this cow was white. 84:4Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer: one of them was black, and

84:13In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull. 84:14After him many white cows came forth, resembling him. 84:15And they began to calve many other white cows, which resembled them and followed each other.

89:2 and three bulls dwelt with him in that vessel and they were covered in. And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents

and three cows dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them. 88:2Again I lifted up my eyes towards heaven, and saw a lofty roof. Above it were seven cataracts,
|
and three bullocks lived with him in that vessel, and it was covered over above them.89:2 And I again raised my eyes towards heaven, and saw a high roof and seven sluices to it; and those sluices
|
|
89:3 flowed with much water into an enclosure. And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface,
|
which poured fourth on a certain village much water. 88:3Again I looked, and behold there were fountains open on the earth in that large village. 88:4The water began to boil up, and rose over the earth;
|
emptied much water into a yard.89:3 And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the earth, in that great yard; and that water began to swell, and to be lifted above the land,
|
|
89:4 and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water. And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the earth.
|
so that the village was not seen, while its whole soil was covered with water. 88:5Much water was over it, darkness, and clouds. Then I surveyed the height of this water; and it was elevated above the village. 88:6It flowed over the village, and stood higher than the earth.

and caused that yard to disappear, until all the land was covered with water.89:4 And the water and the darkness and the fog increased over it; and as I looked at the height of this water, this water was elevated over that yard, and emptied over the yard, and stood on the earth.

89:6 swallowed up and perished in that water. But that vessel floated on the water, while all the oxen and elephants and camels and asses sank to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape, (but) perished and sank into the depths. And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms

swallowed up, and destroyed in the water. 88:8But the ship floated above it. All the cows, the elephants, the camels, and the asses, were drowned on the earth, and all cattle. Nor could I perceive them. Neither were they able to get out, but perished, and sunk into the deep. 88:9Again I looked in the vision until those cataracts from that lofty roof were removed, and the fountains

came to naught, and were destroyed in that water.89:6 But that vessel swam on the water, and all the bullocks and elephants and camels and asses on the earth sank down, and all the animals; and I was not able to see them, and they were unable to come out, but were destroyed, and sank down into the abyss.89:7 And again I saw in the vision till those sluices were put away from that high roof, and the fountains

89:8 of the earth were leveled up and other abysses were opened. Then the water began to run down into these, till the earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the earth, and the darkness

of the earth became equalized, while other depths were opened; 88:10Into which the water began to descend, until the dry ground appeared. 88:11The ship remained on the earth; the darkness
|
of the earth dried up, and other abysses were opened.89:8 Then the water began to run into these till the earth became uncovered; but that vessel reached the earth, and the darkness
|
|
89:9 retired and light appeared. But that white bull which had become a man came out of that vessel, and the three bulls with him, and one of those three was white like that bull, and one of them was red as blood, and one black: and that white bull departed from them.
|
receded; and it became light. 88:12Then the white cow, which became a man, went out of the ship, and the three cows with him. 88:13One of the three cows was white, resembling that cow; one of them was red as blood; and one of them was black. And the white cow left them.

retreated, and it became light.89:9 But that white bullock, which had become a man, came out of that vessel, and the three bullocks with him; and one of the three bullocks was white, similar to that [first] bullock, and one of them was red like blood, and one black; and that one, the white bullock, went away from them.

And they began to bite one another; but that white bull which was born amongst them begat a wild ass and a white bull with it, and the

89:10 And they began to bring forth animals of the desert and birds, so that there arose out of them a varied diversity of kinds: lions and panthers and dogs and wolves and hyenas and wild boars and foxes and squirrels and hogs and falcons and vultures and buzzards and eagles and crows; and among them was born a white bullock.89:11 And they began to bite one another; but that white bullock which was born among them begat a wild ass and a white bullock with it; and the

89:12 wild asses multiplied. But that bull which was born from him begat a black wild boar and a white

many wild asses. Then the white cow, which was born, brought forth a black wild sow and a white

wild ass increased.89:12 But that bull which was born from him begat a black wild boar and a white

89:13 sheep; and the former begat many boars, but that sheep begat twelve sheep.

And the Lord brought the eleven sheep to live with it and to pasture with it among the wolves: and they multiplied and became many flocks of sheep. And the wolves began to fear them, and they oppressed them until they destroyed their little ones, and they cast their young into a river of much water: but those sheep began to

sheep. 88:19That wild sow also brought forth many swine. 88:20And that sheep brought forth twelve sheep. 88:21When those twelve sheep grew up, they delivered one of them to the asses. 88:22Again those asses delivered that sheep to the wolves, 88:23And he grew up in the midst of them. 88:24Then the Lord brought the eleven other sheep, that they might dwell and feed with him in the midst of the wolves. 88:25They multiplied, and there was abundance of pasture for them. 88:26But the wolves began to frighten and oppress them, while they destroyed their young ones. 88:27And they left their young in torrents of deep water. 88:28Now the sheep began to

sheep; and this wild boar begat many boars, but that sheep produced twelve sheep.89:13 And when these twelve sheep had grown, they gave one of them to the asses, and these asses then gave that sheep to the wolves, and that sheep grew up among the wolves.89:14 And the Lord brought the eleven sheep to live with it, and to pasture with it among the wolves; and they increased, and became many herds of sheep.89:15 And the wolves began to fear, and oppressed them till they [the wolves] finally destroyed their [i.e. the sheep’s] young, and threw their young into a stream of much water; but these sheep began to

And He called that sheep which had escaped the wolves, and spake with it concerning the wolves that it should

cry out on account of their young, and fled for refuge to their Lord. One however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild asses. 88:29I beheld the sheep moaning, crying, and petitioning their Lord. 88:30With all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended at their voice from his lofty habitation; went to them; and inspected them. 88:31He called to that sheep which had secretly stolen away from the wolves, and told him to make the wolves
|
cry aloud, on account of their young, before the Lord.89:16 And a sheep which had been saved from the wolves fled, and escaped to the wild asses; and I saw the sheep as they lamented and cried and asked their Lord with all their power, till that Lord of the sheep descended at the voice of the sheep from his high abode, and came and looked after them.89:17 And he called to that sheep which had escaped from the wolves, and spoke with it concerning the wolves, that it should
|
|
89:18 admonish them not to touch the sheep. And the sheep went to the wolves according to the word of the Lord, and another sheep met it and went with it, and the two went and entered together into the assembly of those wolves, and spake with them and admonished them not to touch the
|
understand that they were not to touch the sheep. 88:32Then that sheep went to the wolves with the word of the Lord, when another met him, and proceeded with him. 88:33Both of them together entered the dwelling of the wolves; and conversing with them made them understand, that thenceforwards they were not to touch the
|
counsel them not to touch the sheep.89:18 And that sheep went to the wolves by the voice of the Lord; and another sheep met that sheep, and went with it, and these two came together to the abode of those wolves, and spoke with them, and admonished them that henceforth they should not touch the
|
|
89:19 sheep from henceforth. And thereupon I saw the wolves, and how they oppressed the sheep
|
sheep. 88:34Afterwards I perceived the wolves greatly prevailing over the sheep
|
sheep.89:19 And then I saw the wolves, and how they exceedingly oppressed the sheep
|
|
89:20 exceedingly with all their power; and the sheep cried aloud. And the Lord came to the sheep and they began to smite those wolves: and the wolves began to make lamentation; but the sheep became
|
with their whole force. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to them. 88:35He began to strike the wolves, who commenced a grievous lamentation; but the sheep were
|
with all their power; and the sheep cried aloud.89:20 And their Lord came to the sheep, and began to beat those wolves, and the wolves began to lament; but the sheep became
|
|
89:21 quiet and forthwith ceased to cry out. And I saw the sheep till they departed from amongst the wolves; but the eyes of the wolves were blinded, and those wolves departed in pursuit of the sheep
|
silent, nor from that time did they cry out. 88:36I then looked at them, until they departed from the wolves. The eyes of the wolves were blind, who went out and followed them
|
quiet, and from then on did not cry.89:21 And I saw the sheep till they had gone away from the wolves, and the wolves were blinded as to their eyes, and those wolves went out that they might follow the sheep
|
|
89:22 with all their power. And the Lord of the sheep went with them, as their leader, and all His sheep
|
with all their might. But the Lord of the sheep proceeded with them, and conducted them. 88:37All his sheep
|
with all their power.89:22 And the Lord of the sheep went with them, leading them, and all the sheep
|
|
89:23 followed Him: and his face was dazzling and glorious and terrible to behold. But the wolves
|
followed him. 88:38His countenance was terrific and splendid, and glorious was his aspect. Yet the wolves
|
followed him; and his face was shining, and this appearance terrible and sublime.89:23 But the wolves
|
|
89:24 began to pursue those sheep till they reached a sea of water. And that sea was divided, and the water stood on this side and on that before their face, and their Lord led them and placed Himself between
|
began to follow the sheep, until they overtook them in a certain lake of water. 88:39Then that lake became divided; the water standing up on both sides before their face. 88:40And while their Lord was conducting them, he placed himself between
|
commenced to follow those sheep till they reached them in a sea of water.89:24 And this sea of water was divided, and the water stood from this side and from that before their faces; and their Lord leading them stood also between
|
|
89:25 them and the wolves. And as those wolves did not yet see the sheep, they proceeded into the midst of that sea, and the wolves followed the sheep, and [those wolves] ran after them into that sea.
|
them and the wolves. 88:41The wolves however perceived not the sheep, but went into the midst of the lake, following them, and running after them into the lake of water.
|
them and the wolves.89:25 And as those wolves did not yet see the sheep, they went into the middle of the sea of water; and the wolves followed the sheep, and ran after them into the sea of water.
|
|
89:26 And when they saw the Lord of the sheep, they turned to flee before His face, but that sea gathered itself together, and became as it had been created, and the water swelled and rose till it covered
|
88:42But when they saw the Lord of the sheep, they turned to fly from before his face. 88:43Then the water of the lake returned, and that suddenly, according to its nature. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered
|
89:26 And when they saw the Lord of the sheep they turned that they might flee from before his face; but this sea of water gathered itself together, suddenly took again its own character, and the water swelled and rose till it covered
|
|
89:27 those wolves. And I saw till all the wolves who pursued those sheep perished and were drowned.
|
the wolves. And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned.
|
those wolves.89:27 And I saw till all the wolves which had followed those sheep were destroyed, and sank down.
|
|
89:28 But the sheep escaped from that water and went forth into a wilderness, where there was no water and no grass; and they began to open their eyes and to see; and I saw the Lord of the sheep
|
88:44But the sheep passed over this water, proceeding to a wilderness, which was without both water and grass. And they began to open their eyes and to see. 88:45Then I beheld the Lord of the sheep
|
89:28 But the sheep escaped from that water, and went into the desert, where there was no water and no grass; and they began to open their eyes and to see; and I saw the Lord of the sheep
|
|
89:29 pasturing them and giving them water and grass, and that sheep going and leading them. And that
|
inspecting them, and giving them water and grass. 88:46The sheep already mentioned was proceeding with them, and conducting them. 88:47 And when
|
pasturing them and giving them water and grass, and that [former] sheep going and leading them.89:29 And this
|
|
89:30 sheep ascended to the summit of that lofty rock, and the Lord of the sheep sent it to them. And after that I saw the Lord of the sheep who stood before them, and His appearance was great and
|
he had ascended the top of the lofty rock, the Lord of the sheep sent him to them. 88:48Afterwards I perceived their Lord standing before them, with an aspect
|
sheep ascended to the height of a high rock, and the Lord of the sheep sent it to them.89:30 And after that I saw the Lord of the sheep as he stood before them; and his appearance was
|
|
89:31 terrible and majestic, and all those sheep saw Him and were afraid before His face. And they all feared and trembled because of Him, and they cried to that sheep with them [which was amongst
|
terrific and severe. 88:49And when they all beheld him, they were frightened at his countenance. 88:50All of them were alarmed, and trembled. They cried out after that sheep; and to the other sheep who had been with him, and who was in the midst of
|
terrible and powerful, and all those sheep saw him, and were afraid before his face.89:31 And they were all afraid, and trembled before him, and cried after that sheep which was with him to the other sheep which was among
|
|
89:32 them]: ' We are not able to stand before our Lord or to behold Him.' And that sheep which led them again ascended to the summit of that rock, but the sheep began to be blinded and to wander
|
them, saying, We are not able to stand before our Lord, or to look upon him. 88:51Then that sheep who conducted them went away, and ascended the top of the rock; 88:52When the rest of the sheep began to grow blind, and to wander
|
them: "We are not able to exist before our Lord, or to look at him."89:32 And that sheep which led them returned, and ascended to the height of that rock; but the sheep began to be blinded as to their eyes, and erred
|
|
89:33 from the way which he had showed them, but that sheep wot not thereof. And the Lord of the sheep was wrathful exceedingly against them, and that sheep discovered it, and went down from the summit of the rock, and came to the sheep, and found the greatest part of them blinded and fallen
|
from the path which he had shown them; but he knew it not. 88:53Their Lord however was moved with great indignation against them; and when that sheep had learned what had happened, 88:54He descended from the top of the rock, and coming to them, found that there were many, 88:55Which had become blind; 88:56And had wandered
|
from the path which it had showed to them; but this sheep did not know it.89:33 And the Lord of the sheep was enraged over them greatly; and that sheep discovered it, and descended from the height of the rock, and came to the sheep, and found the greater part of them blinded as to their eyes, and erring
|
|
89:34 away. And when they saw it they feared and trembled at its presence, and desired to return to their
|
from his path. As soon as they beheld him, they feared, and trembled at his presence; 88:57And became desirous of returning to their
|
from his path.89:34 And as they saw it they feared and trembled before its face, and desired to return to their
|
|
89:35 folds. And that sheep took other sheep with it, and came to those sheep which had fallen away, and began to slay them; and the sheep feared its presence, and thus that sheep brought back those
|
fold, 88:58Then that sheep, taking with him other sheep, went to those which had wandered. 88:59And afterwards began to kill them. They were terrified at his countenance. Then he caused those which had wandered to return;
|
folds.89:35 And that sheep took other sheep with it, and came to those erring sheep; and then it began to kill them, and the sheep feared its countenance; and thus that sheep brought back those
|
|
89:36 sheep that had fallen away, and they returned to their folds. And I saw in this vision till that sheep became a man and built a house for the Lord of the sheep, and placed all the sheep in that house.
|
who went back to their fold. 88:60I likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built a house for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in the house.
|
erring sheep, and they returned to their folds.89:36 And I saw there in the vision till that sheep became a man, and built the Lord of the sheep a house, and placed all the sheep in that house.
|
|
89:37 And I saw till this sheep which had met that sheep which led them fell asleep: and I saw till all the great sheep perished and little ones arose in their place, and they came to a pasture, and
|
88:61I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and
|
89:37 And I saw till that sheep that had met the sheep which led the sheep reposed [in death]; and I saw till all the large sheep were destroyed, and small ones arose in their places; and they came to a pasture, and
|
|
89:38 approached a stream of water. Then that sheep, their leader which had become a man, withdrew
|
approached a river of water. 88:62Then that sheep, their conductor, who became a man, was separated
|
approached a stream of water.89:38 And this sheep which led them, and which became a man, was separated
|
|
89:39 from them and fell asleep, and all the sheep sought it and cried over it with a great crying. And I saw till they left off crying for that sheep and crossed that stream of water, and there arose the two sheep as leaders in the place of those which had led them and fallen asleep (lit. ' had fallen asleep and led
|
from them, and died. 88:63All the sheep sought after him, and cried for him with bitter lamentation. 88:64I saw likewise that they ceased to cry after that sheep, and passed over the river of water. 88:65And that there arose other sheep, all of whom conducted them, instead of those who were dead, and who had previously conducted
|
from them, and reposed [in death]; and all the sheep sought it, and cried over it exceedingly.89:39 And I saw till they became quiet from their crying over this sheep, and they crossed that stream of water; and there always arose other sheep that led them in the place of those which had departed, and led
|
|
89:40 them '). And I saw till the sheep came to a goodly place, and a pleasant and glorious land, and I saw till those sheep were satisfied; and that house stood amongst them in the pleasant land.
|
them. 88:66Then I saw that the sheep entered into a goodly place, and a territory delectable and glorious. 88:67I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory;
|
them.89:40 And I saw the sheep until they came into a good place, and into a pleasant and glorious land; and I saw these sheep till they were satisfied; but the house stood among them in the beautiful land.
|
|
89:41 And sometimes their eyes were opened, and sometimes blinded, till another sheep arose and led them and brought them all back, and their eyes were opened.
|
and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.
|
89:41 And sometimes their eyes were opened, and sometimes they were blinded, till another sheep arose, and led them, and conducted them all back, and their eyes were opened.
|
|
89:42 And the dogs and the foxes and the wild boars began to devour those sheep till the Lord of the sheep raised up [another sheep] a ram from their
|
88:68Then dogs, foxes, and wild boars began to devour them, until again another sheep arose, the master of the flock, one of themselves, a ram,
|
89:42 And the dogs and the foxes and the wild boars began to devour those sheep till another sheep arose, a buck, in their
|
|
89:43 midst, which led them. And that ram began to butt on either side those dogs, foxes, and wild
|
to conduct them. This ram began to butt on every side those dogs, foxes, and wild
|
midst, which led them.89:43 And this buck began to butt those dogs and those foxes and those wild
|
|
89:44 boars till he had destroyed them all. And that sheep whose eyes were opened saw that ram, which was amongst the sheep, till it forsook its glory and began to butt those sheep, and trampled upon them, and behaved itself
|
boars, until they all perished. 88:69his eyes, and saw the ram in the midst of them, who had laid aside his glory. 88:70And he began to strike the sheep, treading upon them, and behaving himself
|
boars from both sides, till he had destroyed them all.89:44 And that sheep had its eyes opened, and saw this buck which was among the sheep departing from his honor, and beginning to butt those sheep, and to tramp on them, and to walk
|
|
89:45 unseemly. And the Lord of the sheep sent the lamb to another lamb and raised it to being a ram and leader of the sheep instead of that
|
without dignity. 88:71Then their Lord sent the former sheep again to a still different sheep, and raised him up to be a ram, and to conduct them instead of that
|
unseemly.89:45 And the Lord of the sheep sent that sheep to another sheep, and exalted it to become a buck, and to lead the sheep in the place of that
|
|
89:46 ram which had forsaken its glory. And it went to it and spake to it alone, and raised it to being a ram, and made it the prince and leader of the sheep; but during all these things those dogs
|
sheep who had laid aside his glory. 88:72Going therefore to him, and conversing with him alone, he raised up that ram, and made him a prince and leader of the flock. All the time that the dogs
|
sheep which had deserted his honor.89:46 And it went to it, and spoke to it alone, and elevated it to become a buck, and made it the prince and leader of the sheep; but during all that time those dogs
|
|
89:47 oppressed the sheep. And the first ram pursued that second ram, and that second ram arose and fled before it; and I saw till those dogs pulled
|
troubled the sheep, 88:73The first ram paid respect to this latter ram. 88:74Then the latter ram arose, and fled away from before his face. And I saw that those dogs caused
|
oppressed the sheep.89:47 And the first buck pursued the second buck, and the second buck arose, and fled before its face; and I saw till those dogs cast
|
|
89:48 down the first ram. And that second ram arose
|
the first ram to fall. 88:75But the latter ram arose,
|
down the first buck.89:48 And that second buck arose,
|
|
89:49 and led the [little] sheep. And those sheep grew and multiplied; but all the dogs, and foxes, and wild boars feared and fled before it, and that ram butted and killed the wild beasts, and those wild beasts had no longer any power among the sheep and robbed them no more of ought. And that ram begat many sheep and fell asleep; and a little sheep became ram in its stead, and became prince and leader of those sheep.
|
and conducted the smaller sheep. 88:78And the sheep increased in size, and multiplied. 88:79And all the dogs, foxes, and wild boars feared, and fled away from him. 88:80That ram also struck and killed all the wild beasts, so that they could not again prevail in the midst of the sheep, nor at any time ever snatch them away. 88:76That ram likewise begat many sheep, and died. 88:77Then there was a smaller sheep, a ram, instead of him, which became a prince and leader, conducting the flock.
|
and led the smaller sheep, and this buck begat many sheep, and reposed [in death]; and a small sheep became the buck in its place, and was the prince and leader of those sheep.89:49 And those sheep grew and increased; and the dogs and the foxes and the wild boars were afraid, and fled before it; and that buck butted and killed all the wild beasts, and those wild beasts had no more power among the sheep, and never robbed them of anything.
|
|
89:50 And that house became great and broad, and it was built for those sheep: (and) a tower lofty and great was built on the house for the Lord of the sheep, and that house was low, but the tower was elevated and lofty, and the Lord of the sheep stood on that tower and they offered a full table before Him.
|
88:81And that house was made large and wide; a lofty tower being built upon it by the sheep, for the Lord of the sheep. 88:82The house was low, but the tower was elevated and very high. 88:83Then the Lord of the sheep stood upon that tower, and caused a full table to approach before him.
|
89:50 And that house became great and broad, and a large tower was built on that house of the Lord of the sheep for those sheep; and the house was low, but the tower was high and broad; and the Lord of the sheep stood on that tower, and they placed a full table before him.
|
|
89:51 And again I saw those sheep that they again erred and went many ways, and forsook that their house, and the Lord of the sheep called some from amongst the sheep and sent them to the sheep,
|
88:84Again I saw that those sheep wandered, and went various ways, forsaking that their house; 88:85And that their Lord called to some among them, whom he sent to them.
|
89:51 And I again saw those sheep that they again erred, and went many ways, and left their house; and the Lord of the sheep called some from among them, and sent them to the sheep,
|
|
89:52 but the sheep began to slay them. And one of them was saved and was not slain, and it sped away and cried aloud over the sheep; and they sought to slay it, but the Lord of the sheep saved it from
|
88:86But these the sheep began to kill. And when one of them was saved from slaughter he leaped, and cried out against those who were desirous of killing him. 88:87But the Lord of the sheep delivered him from
|
but the sheep began to kill them.89:52 And one of them was saved, and was not killed, but escaped, and cried over the sheep; and they wanted to kill it, but the Lord of the sheep saved it out of the hands of
|
|
89:53 the sheep, and brought it up to me, and caused it to dwell there. And many other sheep He sent to those sheep to testify unto them and lament over them. And after that I saw that when they forsook the house of the Lord and His tower they fell away entirely, and their eyes were blinded; and I saw the Lord of the sheep how He wrought much slaughter amongst them in their herds until
|
their hands, and made him ascend to him, and remain with him. 88:88He sent also many others to them, to testify, and with lamentations to exclaim against them. 88:89Again I saw, when some of them forsook the house of their Lord, and his tower; wandering on all sides, and growing blind, 88:90I saw that the Lord of the sheep made a great slaughter among them in their pasture, until
|
the sheep, and brought it up to me, and caused it to dwell there.89:53 And he sent many other sheep to those sheep to admonish them, and to lament over them.89:54 And after that I saw, as they left the house of the Lord of the sheep and his tower, they departed entirely, and their eyes were blinded; and I saw the Lord of the sheep that he caused much death among them in each one of their herds, til
|
|
89:55 those sheep invited that slaughter and betrayed His place. And He gave them over into the hands of the lions and tigers, and wolves and hyenas, and into the hand of the foxes, and to all the wild
|
they cried out to him in consequence of that slaughter. Then he departed from the place of his habitation, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every
|
these sheep even called for this death, and they betrayed his place.89:55 And he left them in the hand of the lions and tigers and wolves and jackals, and in the hand of foxes and all the wild
|
|
89:56 beasts, and those wild beasts began to tear in pieces those sheep. And I saw that He forsook that their house and their tower and gave them all into the hand of the lions, to tear and devour them,
|
beast. 88:91And the wild beasts began to tear them. 88:92I saw, too, that he forsook the house of their fathers, and their tower; giving them all into the power of lions to tear and devour them;
|
beasts, and these wild beasts began to tear those sheep to pieces.89:56 And I saw that he left that house of theirs and their tower and gave them all into the hand of lions that they should tear and devour them,
|
|
89:57 into the hand of all the wild beasts. And I began to cry aloud with all my power, and to appeal to the Lord of the sheep, and to represent to Him in regard to the sheep that they were devoured
|
into the power of every beast. 88:93Then I began to cry out with all my might, imploring the Lord of the sheep, and showing him how the sheep were devoured
|
into the hand of all the wild beasts.89:57 And I began to cry aloud with all my power, and called upon the Lord of the sheep and showed him this in reference to the sheep, that they were being devoured
|
|
89:58 by all the wild beasts. But He remained unmoved, though He saw it, and rejoiced that they were devoured and swallowed and robbed, and left them to be devoured in the hand of all the beasts.
|
by all the beasts of prey. 88:94But he looked on in silence, rejoicing that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried off; and leaving them in the power of every beast for food.
|
by all the wild beasts.89:58 But he remained silent, seeing it, and rejoiced that they were devoured and swallowed and robbed, and left them in the hand of all the wild beasts as food.
|
|
89:59 And He called seventy shepherds, and cast those sheep to them that they might pasture them, and He spake to the shepherds and their companions: ' Let each individual of you pasture the sheep
|
He called also seventy shepherds, and resigned to them the care of the sheep, that they might overlook them; 88:95Saying to them and to their associates, Every one of you henceforwards overlook the sheep, and
|
89:59 And he called seventy shepherds and put away those sheep, in order that they should pasture them, and he spoke to the shepherds and to their companions: "Each single one of you shall now pasture the sheep,
|
|
89:60 henceforward, and everything that I shall command you that do ye. And I will deliver them over unto you duly numbered, and tell you which of them are to be destroyed-and them destroy ye.' And
|
whatsoever I command you, do; and I will deliver them to you numbered. 88:96I will tell you which of them shall be slain; these destroy. And
|
and everything I command you, do!89:60 And I deliver them over to you according to number, and will tell you which of them shall be destroyed; those kill!"89:61 And
|
|
89:61 He gave over unto them those sheep. And He called another and spake unto him: ' Observe and mark everything that the shepherds will do to those sheep; for they will destroy more of them than
|
he delivered the sheep to them. 88:97Then he called to another, and said, Understand, and watch everything which the shepherds shall do to these sheep; for many more of them shall perish than
|
he gave those sheep over to them. And to another he called and said to him: "Watch, and see everything that the shepherds do concerning these sheep; for they will destroy more of them than
|
|
89:62 I have commanded them. And every excess and the destruction which will be wrought through the shepherds, record (namely) how many they destroy according to my command, and how many according to their own caprice: record against every individual shepherd all the destruction he
|
I have commanded. 88:98Of every excess and slaughter, which the shepherds shall commit, there shall be an account; as, how many may have perished by my command, and how many they may have destroyed of their own heads. 88:99Of all the destruction brought about by each of the shepherds there shall be an account;
|
I have commanded.89:62 And each superabundance and the destruction which the shepherds do to these write down, how many they destroy by my command, and how many they destroy by their own will, and write down separately each destruction by each shepherd.
|
|
89:63 effects. And read out before me by number how many they destroy, and how many they deliver over for destruction, that I may have this as a testimony against them, and know every deed of the shepherds, that I may comprehend and see what they do, whether or not they abide by my
|
and according to the number I will cause a recital to be made before me, how many they have destroyed of their own heads, and how many they have delivered up to destruction, that I may have this testimony against them; that I may know all their proceedings; and that, delivering the sheep to them, I may see what they will do; whether they will act as I have
|
89:63 And according to the number recite before me how many they have destroyed of their own account and how many were given them for destruction, that this may be a testimony for me against them, that I may know every deed of the shepherds to give them over, and may see what they do, whether they do my
|
|
89:64 command which I have commanded them. But they shall not know it, and thou shalt not declare it to them, nor admonish them, but only record against each individual all the destruction which
|
commanded them, or not. 88:100Of this, however, they shall be ignorant; neither shall you make any explanation to them, neither shall you reprove them; but there shall be an account of all the destruction done
|
commands which I have commanded them or not.89:64 And they shall not know, and thou shalt not let them know nor admonish them, but write down all the destruction of
|
|
89:65 the shepherds effect each in his time and lay it all before me.' And I saw till those shepherds pastured in their season, and they began to slay and to destroy more than they were bidden, and they delivered
|
by them in their respective seasons. Then they began to kill, and destroy more than it was commanded them. 88:101And they left
|
the shepherds, each one in its time, and lay everything before me."89:65 And I saw till those shepherds pastured in their times and began to kill and to destroy more than was commanded them, and left
|
|
89:66 those sheep into the hand of the lions. And the lions and tigers eat and devoured the greater part of those sheep, and the wild boars eat along with them; and they burnt that tower and demolished
|
the sheep in the power of the lions, so that very many of them were devoured and swallowed up by lions and tigers; and wild boars preyed upon them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew
|
those sheep in the hands of the lions.89:66 And the lions and the tigers devoured and swallowed the greater part of those sheep, and the wild boars devoured with them; and they burned that tower and demolished
|
|
89:67 that house. And I became exceedingly sorrowful over that tower because that house of the sheep was demolished, and afterwards I was unable to see if those sheep entered that house.
|
that house. 88:102Then I grieved extremely on account of the tower, and because the house of the sheep was overthrown. 88:103Neither was I afterwards able to perceive whether they again entered that house.

that house.89:67 And I mourned a great deal over that tower because that house of the sheep was demolished; and after that I could no longer see those sheep whether they entered that house.
|
|
89:68 And the shepherds and their associates delivered over those sheep to all the wild beasts, to devour them, and each one of them received in his time a definite number: it was written by the other
|
88:104The shepherds likewise, and their associates, delivered them to all the wild beasts, that they might devour them. Each of them in his season, according to his number, was delivered up; each of them, one with another, was described
|
89:68 And the shepherds and their companions delivered over those sheep to all the wild beasts to devour them, and each one of them received in his time a certain number, and of each one the other wrote down
|
|
89:69 in a book how many each one of them destroyed of them. And each one slew and destroyed many
|
in a book, how many of them, one with another, were destroyed, in a book.
|
in a book how many he destroyed.89:69 And each one killed and destroyed
|
|
89:70 more than was prescribed; and I began to weep and lament on account of those sheep. And thus in the vision I saw that one who wrote, how he wrote down every one that was destroyed by those shepherds, day by day, and carried up and laid down and showed actually the whole book to the Lord of the sheep-(even) everything that they had done, and all that each one of them had made
|
88:105More, however, than was ordered, every shepherd killed and destroyed. 88:106Then I began to weep, and was greatly indignant, on account of the sheep. 88:107In like manner also I saw in the vision him who wrote, how he wrote down one, destroyed by the shepherds, every day. He ascended, remained, and exhibited each of his books to the Lord of the sheep, containing all which they had done, and all which each of them had made
|
more than was ordered him; and I began to cry and to lament exceedingly concerning those sheep.89:70 And in the vision I saw that scribe as he wrote each one that was destroyed by those shepherds on each day and brought up and opened and showed this whole book to the Lord of the sheep, everything that they had done and every one that each single one had
|
|
89:71 away with, and all that they had given over to destruction. And the book was read before the Lord of the sheep, and He took the book from his hand and read it and sealed it and laid it down.
|
away with; 88:108And all which they had delivered up to destruction. 88:109He took the book up in his hands, read it, sealed it, and deposited it.
|
removed and every one that they had handed over for destruction,89:71 And the book was read before the Lord of the sheep, and he took the book in his hand, and read it and sealed it and laid it down.
|
|
89:72 And forthwith I saw how the shepherds pastured for twelve hours, and behold three of those sheep turned back and came and entered and began to build up all that had fallen down of that
|
88:110After this, I saw shepherds overlooking for twelve hours. 88:111And behold three of the sheep departed, arrived, went in; and began building all which was fallen down of that
|
89:72 And after that I saw that shepherds pastured twelve hours, and behold, three of those sheep turned around and came and entered and began to build everything that was demolished of the
|
|
89:73 house; but the wild boars tried to hinder them, but they were not able. And they began again to build as before, and they reared up that tower, and it was named the high tower; and they began again to place a table before the tower, but all the bread on it was polluted and not pure.

house. 88:112But the wild boars hindered them, although they prevailed not. 88:113Again they began to build as before, and raised up that tower, which was called a lofty tower. 88:114And again they began to place before the tower a table, with every impure and unclean kind of bread upon it.

house, but the wild boars attempted to hinder them, and they could not.89:73 And they again began to build, as before, and put up that tower, and it was called "the high tower"; and they again began to place a table before that tower, and all the bread on it was unclean and not pure.
|
|
89:74 And as touching all this the eyes of those sheep were blinded so that they saw not, and (the eyes of) their shepherds likewise; and they delivered them in large numbers to their shepherds for
|
88:115Moreover also all the sheep were blind, and could not see, as were the shepherds likewise. 88:116Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great
|
89:74 And concerning all this the sheep were blinded as to their eyes, and did not see, and their shepherds likewise; and a great many were delivered to their shepherds for
|
|
89:75 destruction, and they trampled the sheep with their feet and devoured them. And the Lord of the sheep remained unmoved till all the sheep were dispersed over the field and mingled with them (i.e. the
|
destruction, who trod them under foot, and devoured them. 88:117Yet was their Lord silent, until all the sheep in the field were destroyed. The shepherds and the sheep were all mixed together;

destruction, and they trod on the sheep with their feet and devoured them.89:75 And the Lord of the sheep remained quiet till all the sheep were scattered in the field and mixed themselves with them

|
89:76 beasts), and they (i.e. the shepherds) did not save them out of the hand of the beasts. And this one who wrote the book carried it up, and showed it and read it before the Lord of the sheep, and implored Him on their account, and besought Him on their account as he showed Him all the doings
|
but they did not save them from the power of the beasts. 88:118Then he who wrote the book ascended, exhibited it, and read it at the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act
|
and did not save them from the hands of the wild beasts.89:76 And he who wrote the book brought it to the houses of the Lord of the sheep, and showed it and read it and petitioned him on their account and asked him, while showing him all the deeds

89:77 of the shepherds, and gave testimony before Him against all the shepherds. And he took the actual book and laid it down beside Him and departed.

90:1 And I saw till that in this manner thirty-five shepherds undertook the pasturing (of the sheep), and they severally completed their periods as did the first; and others received them into their
|
89:1And I observed during the time, that thus thirty-seven shepherds were overlooking, all of whom finished in their respective periods as the first. Others then received them into their
|
90:1 And I saw to the time when thirty-six shepherds thus pastured, and each one completed his time like the first; and others received them in their
|
|
90:2 hands, to pasture them for their period, each shepherd in his own period. And after that I saw in my vision all the birds of heaven coming, the eagles, the vultures, the kites, the ravens; but the eagles led all the birds; and they began to devour those sheep, and to pick out their eyes and to
|
hands, that they might overlook them in their respective periods, every shepherd in his own period. 89:2Afterwards I saw in the vision, that all the birds of heaven arrived; eagles, the avest, kites and ravens. The eagle instructed them all. 89:3They began to devour the sheep, to peck out their eyes, and to
|
hands to pasture them in their time, each shepherd in his own time.90:2 And after that I saw in the vision all the birds of heaven coming: the eagles and the vultures and the buzzards and the crows; but the eagles led all the birds; and they began to devour those sheep and to pick out their eyes and to
|
|
90:3 devour their flesh. And the sheep cried out because their flesh was being devoured by the birds,
|
eat up their bodies. 89:4The sheep then cried out; for their bodies were devoured by the birds.
|
devour their flesh.90:3 And the sheep cried out because their flesh was being devoured by the birds.
|
|
90:4 and as for me I looked and lamented in my sleep over that shepherd who pastured the sheep. And I saw until those sheep were devoured by the dogs and eagles and kites, and they left neither flesh nor skin nor sinew remaining on them till only their bones stood there: and their bones too fell
|
89:5I also cried out, and groaned in my sleep against the shepherd which overlooked the flock. 89:6And I looked, while the sheep were eaten up by the dogs, by the eagles, and by the kites. They neither left them their body, nor their skin, nor their muscles, until their bones alone remained; until their bones fell
|
And I cried and lamented in my sleep over that shepherd who was pasturing the sheep.90:4 And I saw until those sheep were devoured by the dogs and the eagles and the buzzards, and they did not leave on them meat or skin or muscles till the skeletons stood there alone, and the skeletons fell
|
|
90:5 to the earth and the sheep became few. And I saw until that twenty-three had undertaken the pasturing and completed in their several periods fifty-eight times.
|
upon the ground. And the sheep became diminished. 89:7I observed likewise during the time, that twenty-tree shepherds were overlooking; who completed in their respective periods fifty-eight periods.
|
to the ground also, and the sheep became less.90:5 And I saw to the time when twenty-three shepherds pastured, and they completed, each in his time, fifty-eight times.
|
|
90:6 But behold lambs were borne by those white sheep, and they began to open their eyes and to see,
|
89:8Then were small lambs born of those white sheep; who began to open their eyes and to see,
|
90:6 But small lambs were born from those white sheep, and they began to open their eyes and to see
|
|
90:7 and to cry to the sheep. Yea, they cried to them, but they did not hearken to what they said to
|
crying out to the sheep. 89:9The sheep, however, cried not out to them, neither did they hear what they uttered to
|
and to cry to the sheep.90:7 But the sheep did not cry to them and did not hear what they said to
|
|
90:8 them, but were exceedingly deaf, and their eyes were very exceedingly blinded. And I saw in the vision how the ravens flew upon those lambs and took one of those lambs, and dashed the sheep
|
them; but were deaf, blind, and obdurate in the greatest degrees. 89:10I saw in the vision that ravens flew down upon those lambs; 89:11That they seized one of them; and that tearing the sheep
|
them, but were exceedingly deaf, and their eyes exceedingly and powerfully blinded.90:8 And I saw in the vision that the crows flew on to those lambs and took one of those lambs, but broke the sheep
|
|
90:9 in pieces and devoured them. And I saw till horns grew upon those lambs, and the ravens cast down their horns; and I saw till there sprouted a great horn of one of those sheep, and their eyes
|
in pieces, they devoured them. 89:12I saw also, that the horns grew upon those lambs; and that the ravens lighted down upon their horns. 89:13I saw, too, that a large horn sprouted out on an animal among the sheep, and that their eyes
|
and devoured them.90:9 And I saw till horns came to those lambs and the crows threw down those horns; and I saw till one great horn came forth, one of those sheep, and their eyes
|
|
90:10 were opened. And it looked at them [and their eyes opened], and it cried to the sheep, and the
|
were opened. 89:14He looked at them. Their eyes were wide open; and he cried out to them.
|
were opened.90:10 And it looked at them, and their eyes were opened, and it cried to the sheep, and the
|
|
90:11 rams saw it and all ran to it. And notwithstanding all this those eagles and vultures and ravens and kites still kept tearing the sheep and swooping down upon them and devouring them: still the sheep remained silent, but the rams lamented and cried out. And those ravens fought and battled with it and sought to lay low its horn, but they had no power over it. All the eagles and vultures and ravens and kites were gathered together, and there came with them all the sheep of the field, yea, they all came together, and helped each other to break that horn of the ram.
|
89:15Then the dabela saw him; all of whom ran to him. 89:16And besides this, all the eagles, the avest, the ravens and the kites, were still carrying off the sheep, flying down upon them, and devouring them. The sheep were silent, but the dabela lamented and cried out. 89:17Then the ravens contended, and struggled with them. 89:18They wished among them to break his horn; but they prevailed not over him. 89:19I looked on them, until the shepherds, the eagles, the avest, and the kites came. 89:24All came together, and strove to break the horn of the dabela.
|
bucks saw it, and all ran to it.90:11 And with all that those eagles and vultures and crows and buzzards to that time were tearing those sheep to pieces, and flew down on them and devoured them; but the sheep remained quiet, and the bucks lamented and cried out.90:12 And those crows fought and battled with it and sought to remove that horn, but had no power over it.
|
|
90:12
|
89:20Who cried out to the ravens to break the horn of the dabela; to contend with him; and to kill him. But he struggled with them, and cried out, that help might come to him.
|
|
|
90:13
|
89:21Then I perceived that the man came who had written down the names of the shepherds, and who ascended up before the Lord of the sheep.
|
90:13 And I saw them till the shepherds and the eagles and those vultures and buzzards came, and they cried to those crows that they should break that horn of the buck; and they fought and battled with it, and it fought with them and cried that its help might come to it.
|
|
90:14
|
89:22He brought assistance, and caused every one to see him descending to the help of the dabela.
|
90:14 And I saw till that man who had written down the names of the shepherds and brought them up to the Lord of the sheep came, and he helped that buck and showed it everything, that its help had come down.
|
|
90:15
|
89:23I perceived likewise that the Lord of the sheep came to them in wrath, while all those who saw him fled away; all fell down in his tabernacle before his face; while all the eagles, the avest, ravens, and kites assembled, and brought with them all the sheep of the field.
|
90:15 And I saw till that Lord of the sheep came to them in anger, and all who saw him fled, and all fell into his shadow before his face.
|
|
90:19 And I saw till a great sword was given to the sheep, and the sheep proceeded against all the beasts of the field to slay them, and all the beasts and the birds of the heaven fled before their face. And I saw that man, who wrote the book according to the command of the Lord, till he opened that book concerning the destruction which those twelve last shepherds had wrought, and showed that they had destroyed much more than their predecessors, before the Lord of the sheep. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came unto them and took in His hand the staff of His wrath, and smote the earth, and the earth clave asunder, and all the beasts and all the birds of the heaven fell from among those sheep, and were swallowed up in the earth and it covered them.
|
89:27I saw, too, that a large sword was given to the sheep, who went forth against all the beasts of the field to slay them. 89:28But all the beasts and birds of heaven fled away from before their face. 89:25Then I saw, that the man, who wrote the book at the word of the Lord, opened the book of destruction, of that destruction which the last twelve shepherds wrought; and pointed out before the Lord of the sheep, that they destroyed more than those who preceded them. 89:26I saw also that the Lord of the sheep came to them, and taking in his hand the sceptre of his wrath seized the earth, which became rent asunder; while all the beasts and birds of heaven fell from the sheep, and sunk into the earth, which closed over them.
|
90:16 All the eagles and vultures and crows and buzzards assembled and brought with them all the sheep of the desert, and they all came together and assisted one another in order to break that horn of the buck.90:17 And I saw that man who had written the book by the voice of God till he opened that book of destruction which those last twelve shepherds had practiced, and showed that they had destroyed more that those before them, before the Lord of the sheep.90:18 And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came to them and took the rod of anger in his hand, and struck the earth so that the earth was rent apart, and all the beasts and the birds of heaven fell away from those sheep, and sank down into the earth, and it was covered over them.90:19 And I saw till a great sword was given to the sheep, and the sheep came to those wild beasts to kill them, and all the beasts and the birds of heaven fled from their face.
|
|
90:20 And I saw till a throne was erected in the pleasant land, and the Lord of the sheep sat Himself thereon, and the other took the sealed books and opened those books before the Lord of the sheep.
|
89:29And I saw a throne erected in a delectable land; 89:30Upon this sat the Lord of the sheep, who received all the sealed books; 89:31Which were open before him.
|
90:20 And I saw till a throne was built on the earth in the pleasant land, and the Lord of the sheep sat upon it, and he took all the sealed books and opened those books before the Lord of the sheep.
|
|
90:21 And the Lord called those men the seven first white ones, and commanded that they should bring before Him, beginning with the first star which led the way, all the stars whose privy members
|
89:32Then the Lord called the first seven white ones, and commanded them to bring before him the first of the first stars, which preceded the stars whose form partly
|
90:21 And the Lord called to those first six white ones, and commanded that they should bring to him, from the first star on, which had come forth, all the stars whose sexual members
|
|
90:22 were like those of horses, and they brought them all before Him. And He said to that man who wrote before Him, being one of those seven white ones, and said unto him: ' Take those seventy shepherds to whom I delivered the sheep, and who taking them on their own authority slew more
|
resembled that of horses; the first star, which fell down first; and they brought them all before him. 89:33And he spoke to the man who wrote in his presence, who was one of the seven white ones, saying, Take those seventy shepherds, to whom I delivered up the sheep, and who receiving them killed more of them
|
had been similar to the sexual members of horses, and also the first star that had first fallen; and they brought all before him.90:22 And he said to that man who wrote before him, who was one of the six white ones, and said to him: "Take those seventy shepherds to whom I have delivered the sheep, and taking them, they of their own account killed more
|
|
90:23 than I commanded them.' And behold they were all bound, I saw, and they all stood before Him.
|
than I commanded. Behold, I saw them all bound, and standing before him.
|
than I had commanded them."90:23 And behold I saw them all bound, and all stood before him.
|
|
90:24 And the judgement was held first over the stars, and they were judged and found guilty, and went to the place of condemnation, and they were cast into an abyss, full of fire and flaming, and full
|
First came on the trial of the stars, which, being judged, and found guilty, went to the place of punishment. They thrust them into a place, deep, and full of flaming fire, and full
|
90:24 And the judgment was first over the stars, and they were judged and were found to be sinners, and went to the place of judgment and were thrown into an abyss filled with fire and burning and filled with
|
|
90:25 of pillars of fire. And those seventy shepherds were judged and found guilty, and they were cast
|
of pillars of fire. Then the seventy shepherds were judged, and being found guilty, were thrust
|
pillars of fire.90:25 And those seventy shepherds were judged and were found to be sinners, and THEY were thrown
|
|
90:26 into that fiery abyss. And I saw at that time how a like abyss was opened in the midst of the earth, full of fire, and they brought those blinded sheep, and they were all judged and found guilty and
|
into the flaming abyss. 89:34At that time likewise I perceived, that one abyss was thus opened in the midst of the earth, which was full of fire. 89:35And to this were brought the blind sheep; which being judged, and found guilty, were all
|
into this abyss of fire.90:26 And I saw at that time that an abyss like it was opened in the middle of the earth, which was full of fire, and they brought those blinded sheep, and they all were judged and were found to be sinners, and were
|
|
90:27 cast into this fiery abyss, and they burned; now this abyss was to the right of that house. And I saw those sheep burning and their bones burning.
|
thrust into that abyss of fire on the earth, and burnt. 89:36The abyss was on the right of that house. 89:37And I saw the sheep burning, and their bones consuming.
|
thrown into the abyss of fire and burned; and this abyss was to the right of that house.90:27 And I saw those sheep burning, and their bones burned.
|
|
90:28 And I stood up to see till they folded up that old house; and carried off all the pillars, and all the beams and ornaments of the house were at the same time folded up with it, and they carried
|
89:38I stood beholding him immerge that ancient house, while they brought out its pillars, every plant in it, and the ivory infolding it. They brought it out, and deposited
|
90:28 And I stood looking till he enveloped that old house, and they took out all the pillars, and all the planks and the ornaments of that house were wrapped in with it, and they brought it
|
|
90:29 it off and laid it in a place in the south of the land. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep brought a new house greater and loftier than that first, and set it up in the place of the first which had beer folded up: all its pillars were new, and its ornaments were new and larger than those of the first, the old one which He had taken away, and all the sheep were within it.
|
it in a place on the right side of the earth. 89:39I also saw, that the Lord of the sheep produced a new house, great, and loftier than the former, which he bound by the former circular spot. All its pillars were new, and its ivory new, as well as more abundant than the former ancient ivory, which he had brought out.
|
out and put it in one place, on the right [i.e. south] of the earth.90:29 And I saw the Lord of the sheep till he produced a new house, larger and higher than that first, and put it in the place of the first, which had been enveloped, and all its pillars were new, and the ornaments new and larger than of the first old one, which he had removed, and all the sheep were in its middle.
|
|
90:30 And I saw all the sheep which had been left, and all the beasts on the earth, and all the birds of the heaven, falling down and doing homage to those sheep and making petition to and obeying
|
89:40And while all the sheep which were left were in the midst of it, all the beasts of the earth, and all the birds of heaven, fell down and worshipped them, petitioning them, and obeying
|
90:30 And I saw all the sheep that had been left and all the animals on the earth and all the birds of the heavens, falling down and worshiping those sheep and petitioning and obeying
|
|
90:31 them in every thing. And thereafter those three who were clothed in white and had seized me by my hand [who had taken me up before], and the hand of that ram also seizing hold of me, they
|
them in everything. 89:41Then those three, who were clothed in white, and who, holding me by my hand, had before caused me to ascend, while the hand of him who spoke held me;
|
them in every word.90:31 And after that those three who were dressed in white, who had led me up before, took me by the hand, and the hand of that buck taking hold of me, they
|
|
90:32 took me up and set me down in the midst of those sheep before the judgement took place. And those
|
raised me up, and placed me in the midst of the sheep, before the judgment took place.
|
raised me, and put me down in the midst of those sheep before the judgment took place.90:32 But those
|
|
90:33 sheep were all white, and their wool was abundant and clean. And all that had been destroyed and dispersed, and all the beasts of the field, and all the birds of the heaven, assembled in that house, and the Lord of the sheep rejoiced with great joy because they were all good and had returned to
|
89:42The sheep were all white, with wool long and pure. Then all who had perished, and had been destroyed, every beast of the field, and every bird of heaven, assembled in that house: while the Lord of the sheep rejoiced with great joy, because all were good, and had come back again to
|
sheep were all white, and their wool large and clean.90:33 And all that were destroyed and scattered, and all the wild beasts and all the birds of heaven were collected in that house, and the Lord of the sheep rejoiced greatly, for they were all good and had returned to
|
|
90:34 His house. And I saw till they laid down that sword, which had been given to the sheep, and they brought it back into the house, and it was sealed before the presence of the Lord, and all the sheep
|
his dwelling. 89:43And I saw that they laid down the sword which had been given to the sheep, and returned it to his house, sealing it up in the presence of the Lord. 89:44All the sheep
|
his house.90:34 And I saw till they laid down that sword which had been given to the sheep, and returned it to his house; and it was sealed before the face of the Lord, and all the sheep
|
|
90:35 were invited into that house, but it held them not. And the eyes of them all were opened, and they
|
would have been inclosed in that house, had it been capable of containing them; and the eyes of all were open,
|
were closed up in that house, but it could not contain them.90:35 And the eyes of all of them were opened, and they
|
|
90:36 saw the good, and there was not one among them that did not see. And I saw that that house was large and broad and very full.
|
gazing on the good One; nor was there one among them who did not behold him. 89:45I likewise perceived that the house was large, wide, and extremely full.
|
saw the good, and there was not one among them that did not see.90:36 And I saw that that house was large and broad and exceedingly full.
|
|
90:37 And I saw that a white bull was born, with large horns and all the beasts of the field and all the
|
I saw, too, that a white cow was born, whose horns were great; and that all the beasts of the field, and all the
|
90:37 And I saw that a white bullock was born, and his horns were large, and all the wild beasts and all the
|
|
90:38 birds of the air feared him and made petition to him all the time. And I saw till all their generations were transformed, and they all became white bulls; and the first among them became a lamb, and that lamb became a great animal and had great black horns on its head; and the Lord of the sheep
|
birds of heaven, were alarmed at him, and entreated him at all times. 89:46Then I saw that the nature of all of them was changed, and that they became white cows; 89:47And that the first, who was in the midst of them, spoke, when that word became a large beast, upon the head of which were great and black horns; 89:48While the Lord of the sheep
|
birds of heaven feared him and petitioned him at all times.90:38 And I saw till all their generations were changed, and they all became white bullocks, and the first one of them [was the word, and that word] was a great animal, and had on its head large and black horns; and the Lord of the sheep
|
|
90:39 rejoiced over it and over all the oxen. And I slept in their midst: and I awoke and saw everything.
|
rejoiced over them, and over all the cows. 89:49I lay down in the midst of them: I awoke; and saw the whole.
|
rejoiced over them and over all the bullocks.90:39 And I reposed in their midst, and I awoke and saw everything.
|
|
90:40 This is the vision which I saw while I slept, and I awoke and blessed the Lord of righteousness and
|
This is the vision which I saw, lying down and waking. Then I blessed the Lord of righteousness, and
|
90:40 And this is the vision that I saw as I was asleep; and I awoke and blessed the Lord of justice and
|
|
90:41 gave Him glory. Then I wept with a great weeping and my tears stayed not till I could no longer endure it: when I saw, they flowed on account of what I had seen; for everything shall come and
|
gave glory to Him. 89:50Afterwards I wept abundantly, nor did my tears cease, so that I became incapable of enduring it. While I was looking on, they flowed on account of what I saw; for all was come and
|
gave him glory.90:41 And then I cried greatly, and my tears did not stand still till I was not able to endure it; when I looked they flowed on account of that which I saw, because everything will come and
|
|

|
91:1 And now, my son Methuselah, call to me all thy brothers And gather together to me all the sons of thy mother; For the word calls me, And the spirit is poured out upon me, That I may show you everything That shall befall you for ever.'
|
90:1And now, my son Mathusala, call to me all your brethren, and assemble for me all the children of your mother; for a voice calls me, and the spirit is poured out upon me, that I may show you everything which shall happen to you for ever.
|
91:1 And now, my son Methuselah, call to me all thy brothers, and assemble to me all the children of thy mother, for the word calls me, and the spirit is poured out over me, that I show you all that will happen to you to eternity.
|
|
91:2 And there upon Methuselah went and summoned to him all his brothers and assembled his relatives.
|
90:2Then Mathusala went, called to him all his brethren, and assembled his kindred.
|
91:2 And then Methuselah went and called all his brothers to him and assembled his relatives.
|
|
91:3 And he spake unto all the children of righteousness and said: 'Hear, ye sons of Enoch, all the words of your father, And hearken aright to the voice of my mouth; For I exhort you and say unto you, beloved:
|
90:3And conversing with all his children in truth, 90:4Enoch said, Hear, my children, every word of your father, and listen in uprightness to the voice of my mouth; for I would gain your attention, while I address you. My beloved,
|
91:3 And he conversed with all his children concerning justice, and said: "Hear, my children, all the words of your father, and listen properly to the voice of my mouth, for I admonish you and tell you, my beloved,
|
|
91:4 Love uprightness and walk therein. And draw not nigh to uprightness with a double heart, And associate not with those of a double heart, But walk in righteousness, my sons. And it shall guide you on good paths, And righteousness shall be your companion.
|
be attached to integrity, and walk in it. 90:5Approach not integrity with a double heart; nor be associated with double-minded men: but walk, my children, in righteousness, which will conduct you in good paths; and be truth your companion.
|
love rectitude and walk in it.91:4 And do not approach rectitude with a double heart, and do not associate with those of a double heart, but walk in justice, my children, and she will lead you in the good path, and justice will be your companion.
|
|
91:5 For I know that violence must increase on the earth, And a great chastisement be executed on the earth, And all unrighteousness come to an end: Yea, it shall be cut off from its roots, And its whole structure be destroyed.
|
90:6For I know, that oppression will exist and prevail on earth; that on earth great punishment shall in the end take place; and that there shall be a consummation of all iniquity, which shall be cut off from its root, and every fabric raised by it shall pass away.
|
91:5 For I know that a condition of oppression will grow strong on the earth, and great punishment will be completed over the earth, and all injustice will be completed and be cut off by the roots, and its whole habitation destroyed.
|
|
91:6 And unrighteousness shall again be consummated on the earth, And all the deeds of unrighteousness and of violence And transgression shall prevail in a twofold degree.
|
Iniquity, however, shall again be renewed, and consummated on earth. Every act of crime, and every act of oppression and impiety, shall be a second time embraced.
|
91:6 And again injustice will be repeated, and all the deeds of injustice and the deeds of oppression and of sin will be renewed on the earth.
|
|
91:7 And when sin and unrighteousness and blasphemy And violence in all kinds of deeds increase, And apostasy and transgression and uncleanness increase, A great chastisement shall come from heaven upon all these, And the holy Lord will come forth with wrath and chastisement To execute judgement on earth.
|
90:7When therefore iniquity, sin, blasphemy, tyranny, and every evil work, shall increase, and when transgression, impiety, and uncleanness also shall increase, then upon them all shall great punishment be inflicted from heaven. 90:8The holy Lord shall go forth in wrath, and upon them all shall great punishment from heaven be inflicted. 90:9The holy Lord shall go forth in wrath, and with punishment, that he may execute judgment upon earth.
|
91:7 And when injustice and sin and reviling and oppression and all the deeds will increase, and falling-off and reviling and uncleanness will increase; there will be a great punishment from heaven upon them all, and the holy Lord will come forth in anger, and with punishment, that he may pass judgment on the earth.
|
|
91:8 In those days violence shall be cut off from its roots, And the roots of unrighteousness together with deceit, And they shall be destroyed from under heaven.
|
90:10In those days oppression shall be cut off from its roots, and iniquity with fraud shall be eradicated, perishing from under heaven.
|
91:8 And in those days oppression will be cut off from its roots, and the roots of injustice together with deception, and they will be destroyed from under heaven.
|
|
91:9 And all the idols of the heathen shall be abandoned, And the temples burned with fire, And they shall remove them from the whole earth, And they (i.e. the heathen) shall be cast into the judgement of fire, And shall perish in wrath and in grievous judgement for ever.
|
90:11Every place of strength shall be surrendered with its inhabitants; with fire shall it be burnt. They shall be brought from every part of the earth, and be cast into a judgment of fire. They shall perish in wrath, and by a judgment overpowering them for ever.
|
91:9 And all the pictures of the heathens will be given away; the towers will be burned by fire, and they will be removed from the whole earth, and will be thrown into a condemnation of fire, and will be destroyed in anger, and in a strong judgment which will be to eternity.
|
|
91:10 And the righteous shall arise from their sleep, And wisdom shall arise and be given unto them. [And after that the roots of unrighteousness shall be cut off, and the sinners shall be destroyed by the sword . . . shall be cut off from the blasphemers in every place, and those who plan violence and those who commit blasphemy shall perish by the sword.]
|
90:12Righteousness shall be raised up from slumber; and wisdom shall be raised up, and conferred upon them. 90:13Then shall the roots of iniquity be cut off; sinners perish by the sword; and blasphemers be annihilated everywhere. 90:14Those who meditate oppression, and those who blaspheme, by the sword shall perish.
|
91:10 And the just one will arise from sleep, and wisdom will arise and will be given to them.91:11 And then the roots of injustice will be cut off, and the sinners will be destroyed with the sword, and the roots of the revilers will be cut off in every place, and those who contemplate oppression and revile will be destroyed by the edge of the sword.—
|
|
91:12 And after that there shall be another, the eighth week, that of righteousness, And a sword shall be given to it that a righteous judgement may be executed on the oppressors, And sinners shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous.
|
92:13Afterwards there shall be another week, the eighth of righteousness, to which shall be given a sword to execute judgment and justice upon all oppressors. 92:14aSinners shall be delivered up into the hands of the righteous,
|
91:12 And after that there will be another week, the eighth, that of justice, and the sword will be given to it, that it may pass judgment and justice on those who practice injustice, and the sinners will be delivered into the hands of the just.
|
|
91:13 And at its close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness, And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory for evermore,
|
who during its completion shall acquire habitations by their righteousness; and the house of the great King shall be established for celebrations for ever.
|
91:13 And in the end of it they will acquire houses through their justice, and they will build a house to the Great King as an honor to eternity.
|
|
91:14 And all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness. 14a And after that, in the ninth week, the righteous judgement shall be revealed to the whole world, b And all the works of the godless shall vanish from all the earth, c And the world shall be written down for destruction.
|
92:15band all men shall be on the watch for the path of integrity. 92:14bAfter this, in the ninth week, shall the judgment of righteousness be revealed to the whole world. 92:15aEvery work of the ungodly shall disappear from the whole earth; the world shall be marked for destruction;
|
91:14 And after that, in the ninth week, the judgment of justice will be revealed to all the world, and all the doings of the impious will depart from the world, and the world will be written out for destruction, and all men will look for the path of rectitude.
|
|
91:15 And after this, in the tenth week in the seventh part, There shall be the great eternal judgement, In which He will execute vengeance amongst the angels.
|
92:16And after this, on the seventh day of the tenth week, there shall be an everlasting judgment, which shall be executed upon the Watchers; and a spacious eternal heaven shall spring forth in the midst of the angels.
|
91:15 And after this, in the tenth week, in the seventh part, there will be the judgment to eternity, which is held over the watchers and the great heavens of eternity which will spring forth from the midst of the angels.
|
|
91:16 And the first heaven shall depart and pass away, And a new heaven shall appear, And all the powers of the heavens shall give sevenfold light.
|
92:17The former heaven shall depart and pass away; a new heaven shall appear; and all the celestial powers shall shine with sevenfold splendour for ever.
|
91:16 And the first heaven will pass away and cease, and a new heaven will appear, and all the powers of heaven will shine to eternity seven fold.
|
|
91:17 And after that there will be many weeks without number for ever, And all shall be in goodness and righteousness, And sin shall no more be mentioned for ever.
|
Afterwards likewise shall there be many weeks, which shall externally exist in goodness and in righteousness. 92:18Neither shall sin be named there for ever and for ever.
|
91:17 And after that there will be many weeks, without number, to eternity, in goodness and in justice, and sin will not be mentioned from that time on to eternity.—
|
|
91:18 And now I tell you, my sons, and show you The paths of righteousness and the paths of violence. Yea, I will show them to you again That ye may know what will come to pass.
|
90:15And now, my children, I will describe and point out to you the path of righteousness and the path of oppression. 90:16I will again point them out to you, that you may know what is to come.
|
91:18 And now I tell you, my children, and show you the paths of justice and the paths of oppression, and I will show them to you again that ye may know what will come.
|
|
91:19 And now, hearken unto me, my sons, And walk in the paths of righteousness, And walk not in the paths of violence; For all who walk in the paths of unrighteousness shall perish for ever.'
|
90:17Hear now, my children, and walk in the path of righteousness, but shun that of oppression; for all who walk in the path of iniquity shall perish for ever.
|
91:19 And now hear, my children, and walk in the paths of justice, and do not walk in the paths of oppression, for they will be destroyed in eternity who walk in the paths of injustice.

93:1 And after that Enoch both gave and began to recount from the books. And Enoch said: ' Concerning the children of righteousness and concerning the elect of the world, And concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these things, Yea, I Enoch will declare (them) unto you, my sons: According to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision, And which I have known through the word of the holy angels, And have learnt from the heavenly tablets.'
|
92:1After this, Enoch began to speak from a book. 92:2And Enoch said, Concerning the children of righteousness, concerning the elect of the world, and concerning the plant of righteousness and integrity. 92:3Concerning these things will I speak, and these things will I explain to you, my children: I who am Enoch. In consequence of that which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels have I acquired knowledge; and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.
|
93:1 And after that Enoch commenced to relate out of the books.93:2 And Enoch said: "Concerning the children of justice and concerning the chosen of the world and concerning the plant of justice and of rectitude, of these I will speak to you and announce to you, my children, I, Enoch, as it has appeared to me in a vision from heaven, and what I learned through the voice of the holy angels and understood from the tablets of heaven."
|
|
93:3 And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: ' I was born the seventh in the first week, While judgement and righteousness still endured.
|
92:4Enoch then began to speak from a book, and said, I have been born the seventh in the first week, while judgment and righteousness wait with patience.
|
93:3 And Enoch commenced to relate from the books, and said: "I was born the seventh in the first week, while judgment and justice were yet retarded.
|
|
93:4 And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness, And deceit shall have sprung up; And in it there shall be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved; And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up, And a law shall be made for the sinners. And after that in the third week at its close A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement, And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
|
92:5But after me, in the second week, great wickedness shall arise, and fraud shall spring forth. 92:6In that week the end of the first shall take place, in which mankind shall be safe. 92:7But when the first is completed, iniquity shall grow up; and during the second week he shall execute the decree upon sinners. 92:8Afterwards, in the third week, during its completion, a man of the plant of righteous judgment shall be selected; and after him the Plant of righteousness shall come for ever.
|
93:4 And there will arise after me in the second week great evil, and destruction will spring up; and in it there will be the first end; and in it a man will be saved; and after it is finished injustice will grow, and he will make a law for the sinners.93:5 And after that, in the third week, in the end thereof, a man will be chosen as a plant of the judgment of justice, and after him the plant of justice will come forever.
|
|
93:6 And after that in the fourth week, at its close, Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.
|
92:9Subsequently, in the fourth week, during its completion, the visions of the holy and the righteous shall be seen, the order of generation after generation shall take place, and a habitation shall be made for them.

93:7 And after that in the fifth week, at its close, The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.
|
Then in the fifth week, during its completion, the house of glory and of dominion shall be erected for ever.
|
93:7 And after that, in the fifth week, in the end thereof, a house of glory and of supremacy will be built to eternity.
|
|
93:8 And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded, And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it a man shall ascend; And at its close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire, And the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.
|
92:10After that, in the sixth week, all those who are in it shall be darkened, the hearts of all of them shall be forgetful of wisdom, and in it shall a Man arise and come forth. 92:11And during its completion He shall burn the house of dominion with fire, and all the race of the elect root shall be dispersed.
|
93:8 And after that, in the sixth week, those who will exist in it will all be blinded, and their hearts will all forget wisdom, and in it a man will ascend; and in the end thereof the house of supremacy will burn with fire, and the whole race of the chosen root will be cut off.

|
93:9 And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, And many shall be its deeds, And all its deeds shall be apostate.
|
92:12Afterwards, in the seventh week, a perverse generation shall arise; abundant shall be its deeds, and all its deeds perverse.
|
93:9 And after that, in the seventh week, a rebellious generation will arise, and many will be their deeds, and all their deeds will be rebellious.
|
|
93:10 And at its close shall be elected The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness, To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.
|
During its completion, the righteous shall be selected from the everlasting plant of righteousness; and to them shall be given the sevenfold doctrine of his whole creation.

94:1 And now I say unto you, my sons, love righteousness and walk therein; For the paths of righteousness are worthy of acceptation, But the paths of unrighteousness shall suddenly be destroyed and vanish.
|
93:1And now let me exhort you, my children, to love righteousness, and to walk in it; for the paths of righteousness are worthy of acceptation; but the paths of iniquity shall suddenly fail, and be diminished.
|
94:1 And now I say to you, my children, love justice and walk in it, for the paths of justice are worthy that they be accepted; and the paths of injustice are destroyed suddenly and cease.
|
|
94:2 And to certain men of a generation shall the paths of violence and of death be revealed, And they shall hold themselves afar from them, And shall not follow them.
|
93:2To men of note in their generation the paths of oppression and death are revealed; but they keep far from them, and do not follow them.
|
94:2 And to certain men of a future generation the paths of violence and of death will be revealed, and they will retreat from them, and will not follow them.
|
|
94:3 And now I say unto you the righteous: Walk not in the paths of wickedness, nor in the paths of death, And draw not nigh to them, lest ye be destroyed.
|
93:3Now, too, let me exhort you who are righteous, not to walk in the paths of evil and oppression, nor in the paths of death. Approach them not, that you may not perish; but covet,
|
94:3 And now I say to you, the just: Do not walk in the wicked path and in violence, and not in the paths of death, and do not approach them, that ye be not destroyed.
|
|
94:4 But seek and choose for yourselves righteousness and an elect life, And walk in the paths of peace, And ye shall live and prosper.
|
93:4And choose for yourselves righteousness, and a good life. 93:5Walk in the paths of peace, that you may live, and be found worthy.
|
94:4 But love and choose for yourselves justice and a pleasing life, and walk in the paths of peace, that ye may live and have joy.
|
|
94:5 And hold fast my words in the thoughts of your hearts, And suffer them not to be effaced from your hearts; For I know that sinners will tempt men to evilly-entreat wisdom, So that no place may be found for her, And no manner of temptation may minish.
|
Retain my words in your inmost thoughts, and obliterate them not from your hearts; for I know that sinners counsel men to commit crime craftily. They are not found in every place, nor does every counsel possess a little of them.
|
94:5 And hold in the thoughts of your hearts, and let not my words be eradicated from your hearts, for I know that the sinners will deceive men to make wisdom wicked, and it [i.e. wisdom] will not find a place, and all kinds of temptations will not cease.

|
94:6 Woe to those who build unrighteousness and oppression And lay deceit as a foundation; For they shall be suddenly overthrown, And they shall have no peace.
|
93:6Woe to those who build iniquity and oppression, and who lay the foundation of fraud; for suddenly shall they be subverted, and never obtain peace.

|
94:7 Woe to those who build their houses with sin; For from all their foundations shall they be overthrown, And by the sword shall they fall. [And those who acquire gold and silver in judgement suddenly shall perish.]

93:7Woe to those who build up their houses with crime; for from their very foundations shall their houses be demolished, and by the sword shall they themselves fall. Those, too, who acquire gold and silver, shall justly and suddenly perish.
|
94:7 Woe to those who build their houses in sin, for they will be rooted out from their foundation, and will fall by the sword; and they who acquire gold and silver will be destroyed by sudden judgment.
|
|
94:8 Woe to you, ye rich, for ye have trusted in your riches, And from your riches shall ye depart, Because ye have not remembered the Most High in the days of your riches.
|
Woe to you who are rich, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches you shall be removed; because you have not remembered the Most High in the days of your prosperity.
|
94:8 Woe to you rich, for ye have trusted in your riches, but ye will come away from your riches, because ye have not remembered the Most High in the days of your riches.
|
|
94:9 Ye have committed blasphemy and unrighteousness, And have become ready for the day of slaughter, And the day of darkness and the day of the great judgement.
|
93:8You have committed blasphemy and iniquity; and are destined to the day of the effusion of blood, to the day of darkness, and to the day of the great judgment.
|
94:9 Ye have done reviling and injustice, and were prepared for the day of bloodshed, and for the day of darkness, and for the day of the great judgment.
|
|
94:10 Thus I speak and declare unto you: He who hath created you will overthrow you, And for your fall there shall be no compassion, And your Creator will rejoice at your destruction.
|
93:9This I will declare and point out to you, that he who created you will destroy you. 93:10When you fall, he will not show you mercy; but your Creator will rejoice in your destruction.
|
94:10 Thus I speak to you, and announce to you that he who has created you will destroy you from the foundation, and over your fall there will be no pity, and your Creator will rejoice in your destruction.
|
|
94:11 And your righteous ones in those days shall be A reproach to the sinners and the godless.
|
93:11Let those, then, who shall be righteous among you in those days, detest sinners, and the ungodly.
|
94:11 And your just in those days will be a disgrace to sinners and the impious.

96:2 [And in the day of the tribulation of the sinners, Your children shall mount and rise as eagles, And higher than the vultures will be your nest, And ye shall ascend and enter the crevices of the earth, And the clefts of the rock for ever as coneys before the unrighteous, And the sirens shall sigh because of you-and weep.]
|
95:2In the day of the sufferings of sinners your offspring shall be elevated, and lifted up like eagles. Your nest shall be more exalted than that of the avest; you shall ascend, and enter into the cavities of the earth, and into the clefts of the rocks for ever, like conies, from the sight of the ungodly; 95:3Who shall groan over you, and weep like sirens.

97:8 Woe to you who acquire silver and gold without justice, and say: "We have become rich, and have treasures, and possess everything we desire;
|
|
97:9 And now let us do what we purposed: For we have gathered silver, 9c And many are the husbandmen in our houses." 9d And our granaries are (brim) full as with water,
|
96:7Now then will we do whatsoever we are disposed to do; for we have amassed silver; our barns are full, and the husbandmen of our families are like overflowing water.

97:9 And now we will do what we contemplate, for we have gathered together silver, and our treasuries are filled, and as water so many are the workmen of our houses."

96:8Like water shall your falsehood pass away; for your wealth will not be permanent, but shall suddenly ascend from you, because you have obtained it all iniquitously; to extreme malediction shall you be delivered up.

98:1 And now I swear unto you, to the wise and to the foolish, For ye shall have manifold experiences on the earth.
|
96:9And now I swear to you, crafty, as well as simple ones; that you, often contemplating the earth,
|
98:1 And now I swear to you, the wise and the foolish; for ye will see much on this earth.
|
|
98:2 For ye men shall put on more adornments than a woman, And coloured garments more than a virgin: In royalty and in grandeur and in power, And in silver and in gold and in purple, And in splendour and in food they shall be poured out as water.
|
you who are men, clothe yourselves more elegantly that married women, and both together more so than unmarried ones, everywhere arraying yourselves in majesty, in magnificence, in authority, and in silver: but gold, purple, honour, and wealth, like water, flow away.
|
98:2 For ye, men, will put on more ornaments than the women, and colored stuffs more than the virgin; in royalty, and in greatness, and in power, and in silver, and in gold, and purple and honor, and in food, they will float away like water.
|
|
98:3 Therefore they shall be wanting in doctrine and wisdom, And they shall perish thereby together with their possessions; And with all their glory and their splendour, And in shame and in slaughter and in great destitution, Their spirits shall be cast into the furnace of fire.
|
96:10Erudition therefore and wisdom are not theirs. Thus shall they perish, together with their riches, with all their glory, and with their honours; 96:11While with disgrace, with slaughter, and in extreme penury, shall their spirits be thrust into a furnace of fire.
|
98:3 And therefore they will have no knowledge and no wisdom, and thereby they are destroyed together with their treasures, and with all their glory and their honor, and in shame and in murder and in great poverty their spirits will be cast into an oven of fire.
|
|
98:4 I have sworn unto you, ye sinners, as a mountain has not become a slave, And a hill does not become the handmaid of a woman, Even so sin has not been sent upon the earth, But man of himself has created it, And under a great curse shall they fall who commit it.
|
96:12I have sworn to you, sinners, that neither mountain nor hill has been or shall be subservient to woman. 96:13Neither in this way has crime been sent down to us upon earth, but men of their own heads have invented it; and greatly shall those who give it efficiency be execrated.
|
98:4 I swear to you sinners: as a mountain has not and will not become a slave, nor a hill the maid of a woman, thus too has sin not been sent on the earth, but man of himself has created it, and it will be for a great curse to those who do it.
|
|
98:5 And barrenness has not been given to the woman, But on account of the deeds of her own hands she dies without children.
|
96:14Barrenness shall not be previously inflicted on woman; but on account of the work of her hands shall she die childless.
|
98:5 And barrenness has not been given to a woman, but on account of the deeds of her hands she dies without children.
|
|
98:6 I have sworn unto you, ye sinners, by the Holy Great One, That all your evil deeds are revealed in the heavens, And that none of your deeds of oppression are covered and hidden.

96:15I have sworn to you, sinners, by the holy and the Great One, that all your evil deeds are disclosed in the heavens; and that none of your oppressive acts are concealed and secret.
|
98:6 I swear to you sinners, by the Holy and the Just One, that all your wicked deeds are revealed in the heavens, and none of your deeds of violence are covered or hidden.

98:7 And do not think in your spirit nor say in your heart that ye do not know and that ye do not see
|
96:16Think not in your minds, neither say in your hearts, that every crime is not manifested and seen.
|
98:7 And do not think in your souls, and do not say in your hearts, that ye do not know and do not see
|
|
98:8 that every sin is every day recorded in heaven in the presence of the Most High. From henceforth ye know that all your oppression wherewith ye oppress is written down every day till the day of your judgement.
|
In heaven it is daily written down before the Most High. Henceforwards shall it be manifested; for every act of oppression which you commit shall be daily recorded, until the period of your condemnation.
|
that every sin is daily being written down in heaven before the Most High.98:8 And from now ye know that all your violence which ye commit is written down on each day to the day of your judgment.

98:9 Woe to you, ye fools, for through your folly shall ye perish: and ye transgress against the wise,
|
96:17Woe to you, simple ones, for you shall perish in your simplicity. To the wise you will not listen,
|
98:9 Woe to you fools, for ye will be destroyed by your foolishness; and ye do not listen to the wise,

And now, know ye that ye are prepared for the day of destruction: wherefore do not hope to live, ye sinners, but ye shall depart and die; for ye know no ransom; for ye are prepared for the day of the great judgement, for the day of tribulation and great shame for your spirits.
|
and that which is good you shall not obtain. 96:18Now therefore know that you are destined to the day of destruction; nor hope that sinners shall live; but in process of time you shall die; for you are not marked for redemption; 96:19But are destined to the day of the great judgment, to the day of distress, and the extreme ignominy of your souls.
|
and will not attain anything good!98:10 And now know that ye are prepared for the day of destruction, and do not hope that ye will live, ye sinners, but ye shall depart and die, for ye do not know a ransom; for ye are prepared for the day of the great judgment, and for the day of trouble and of great disgrace to your souls.

|
98:11 Woe to you, ye obstinate of heart, who work wickedness and eat blood: Whence have ye good things to eat and to drink and to be filled ? From all the good things which the Lord the Most High has placed in abundance on the earth; therefore ye shall have no peace.
|
96:20Woe to you, obdurate in heart, who commit crime, and feed on blood. Whence is it that you feed on good things, drink, and are satiated? Is it not because our Lord, the Most High, has abundantly supplied every good thing upon earth? To you there shall not be peace.
|
98:11 Woe to you hardened of heart, who do evil and devour blood; whence have ye good eating and drinking and satisfaction? from all the good which our Lord the Most High has spread in abundance over the earth; and ye will have no peace.

98:12 Woe to you who love te deeds of unrighteousness: wherefore do ye hope for good hap unto yourselves? know that ye shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous, and they shall cut

off your necks, slay you, and show you no compassion. 96:22Woe to you who rejoice in the trouble of the righteous; for a grave shall not be dug for you. 96:23Woe to you who frustrate the word of

just in vain, for the hope of life will not be to you.98:15 Woe to you who write down words of untruth and words of the impious; for they write down their lies that they be heard, and do not forget their foolishness;

|
100:4 And it those days the angels will come into the secret places, and will collect in one place all those who aided sin; and the Most High will arise on that day to pass a great judgment over all the sinners.
|
|
100:5 And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels To guard them as the apple of an eye, Until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, And though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have nought to fear.
|
and to commit the guardianship of all the righteous and holy to the holy angels, that they may protect them as the apple of an eye, until every evil and every crime be annihilated. 99:3Whether or not the righteous sleep securely, wise men shall then truly perceive.
|
100:5 But over all the just and holy he will place holy angels as watchmen to watch them like the apple of an eye, till an end has been made to evil and to all sin; and even if the holy sleep a long sleep there is nothing to fear.
|
|
100:6 And (then) the children of the earth shall see the wise in security, And shall understand all the words of this book, And recognize that their riches shall not be able to save them In the overthrow of their sins.
|
99:4And the sons of the earth shall understand every word of that book, knowing that their riches cannot save them in the ruin of their crimes.
|
100:6 And the wise among men will see the truth, and the children of the earth will understand all the words of this book, and know that their riches will not be able to save them in the overthrow of their sins.
|
|
100:7 Woe to you, Sinners, on the day of strong anguish, Ye who afflict the righteous and burn them with fire: Ye shall be requited according to your works.
|
99:5Woe to you, sinners, when you shall be afflicted on account of the righteous in the day of the great trouble; shall be burnt in the fire; and be recompensed according to your deeds.
|
100:7 Woe to you sinners, if ye trouble the just, on the day of great pain, and burn them with fire; ye will be repaid according to your work.
|
|
100:8 Woe to you, ye obstinate of heart, Who watch in order to devise wickedness: Therefore shall fear come upon you And there shall be none to help you.
|
99:6Woe to you, perverted in heart, who are watchful to obtain an accurate knowledge of evil, and to discover terrors. No one shall assist you.
|
100:8 Woe to the hardened of heart, who watch to contrive wickedness: fear will be about to come over you, and there will be none to save you.
|
|
100:9 Woe to you, ye sinners, on account of the words of your mouth, And on account of the deeds of your hands which your godlessness as wrought, In blazing flames burning worse than fire shall ye burn.
|
99:7Woe to you, sinners; for with the words of your mouths, and with the work of your hands, have you acted impiously; in the flame of a blazing fire shall you be burnt.
|
100:9 Woe to you sinners, for on account of the words of your mouth, and on account of the deeds of your hands, which ye have done, ye who act impiously will burn in a pool of flaming fire.
|
|
100:10 And now, know ye that from the angels He will inquire as to your deeds in heaven, from the sun and from the moon and from the stars in reference to your sins because upon the earth ye execute
|
99:8And now know, that the angels shall inquire into your conduct in heaven; of the sun, the moon, and the stars, shall they inquire respecting your sins; for upon earth you exercise
|
100:10 And now know that the angels will seek out your deeds in heaven from the sun and the moon and the stars in reference to your sins, because ye pass
|
|
100:11 judgement on the righteous. And He will summon to testify against you every cloud and mist and dew and rain; for they shall all be withheld because of you from descending upon you, and they
|
jurisdiction over the righteous. 99:9Every cloud shall bear witness against you, the snow, the dew, and the rain: for all of them shall be withholden from you, that they may not descend upon you, nor
|
judgment on the earth on the just.100:11 And he will call to testify over you each cloud and fog and dew and rain, for they all will be kept back from you that they do not descend upon you; and shall they
|
|
100:12 shall be mindful of your sins. And now give presents to the rain that it be not withheld from descending upon you, nor yet the dew, when it has received gold and silver from you that it may descend. When the hoar-frost and snow with their chilliness, and all the snow-storms with all their plagues fall upon you, in those days ye shall not be able to stand before them.
|
become subservient to your crimes. 99:10Now then bring gifts of salutation to the rain; that, not being withholden, it may descend upon you; and to the dew, if it has received from you gold and silver. But when the frost, snow, cold, every snowy wind, and every suffering belonging to them, fall upon you, in those days you will be utterly incapable of standing before them.
|
not think of your sins?100:12 And now give presents to the rain that it may not be kept back from descending upon you, or the dew when it has received gold or silver from you.100:13 When hoar-frost and snow and their coldness descend upon you, and all the winds of the snow and all their plagues, in those days ye will not be able to stand before them.

The Book of Enoch ~ Chapter 101 |

|
101:1 Observe the heaven, ye children of heaven, and every work of the Most High, and fear ye Him

100:1Attentively consider heaven, all you progeny of heaven, and all the works of the Most High; fear him,

101:1 Notice the heavens, all ye children of heaven, and all the doings of the Most High, and have fear of him,

and do no evil before him.101:2 When he locks the windows of heaven, and prevents the rain and

101:3 the dew from descending on the earth on your account, what will ye do then? And if He sends His anger upon you because of your deeds, ye cannot petition Him; for ye spake proud and insolent
|
and dew, that it may not descend upon the earth on your account, what will you do? 100:3And if He send his wrath upon you, and upon all your deeds, you are not they who can supplicate him; you who utter against his righteousness, language proud and powerful.

the dew from descending upon the earth on your account, what will ye do then?101:3 And when he sends his anger over you and over all your deeds, ye cannot petition him, because ye have spoken concerning

|
101:4 words against His righteousness: therefore ye shall have no peace. And see ye not the sailors of the ships, how their ships are tossed to and fro by the waves, and are shaken by the winds, and are
|
To you there shall be no peace. 100:4Do you not see the commanders of ships, how their vessels are tossed about by the waves, torn to pieces by the winds, and exposed to the
|
his justice proudly and boldly, and ye shall have no peace.101:4 And do ye not see the kings of the ships, how their ships are chased about by waves, and tremble before the winds,
|
|
101:5 in sore trouble ? And therefore do they fear because all their goodly possessions go upon the sea with them, and they have evil forebodings of heart that the sea will swallow them and they will
|
greatest peril? 100:5That they therefore fear, because their whole property is embarked with them on the ocean; and that they forbode evil in their hearts, because it may swallow them up, and they may
|
and are troubled?101:5 And therefore they fear, because all their good treasures go into the sea with them, and they are troubled in their hearts that the sea might swallow them and they

|
101:6 perish therein. Are not the entire sea and all its waters, and all its movements, the work of the Most

perish in it? 100:6Is not the whole sea, all its waters, and all its commotion, the work of him, the Most
|
perish in it.101:6 Is not all the sea and all its waters and all its movements a work of the Most

101:7 High, and has He not set limits to its doings, and confined it throughout by the sand ? And at His reproof it is afraid and dries up, and all its fish die and all that is in it; But ye sinners that are
|
High; of him who has sealed up all its exertions, and girded it on every side with sand? 100:7Is it not at his rebuke dried up, and alarmed; while all its fish with everything contained in it die? And will not you, sinners, who are

High, and has he not sealed all its doings, and bound it all in the sand?101:7 It dries up at his threats, and is afraid, and all its fish die, and all that is in it; and ye sinners who are

The Book of Enoch ~ Chapter 102 |
||
|
102:1 In those days when He hath brought a grievous fire upon you, Whither will ye flee, and where will ye find deliverance ? And when He launches forth His Word against you Will you not be affrighted and fear ?
|
102:1In those days, when He shall cast the calamity of fire upon you, whither will you fly, and where will you be safe? 102:2And when He sends forth his word against you, are you not spared, and terrified?
|
102:1 And in those days when he brings a painful fire upon you, whither will ye flee, and where will ye save yourselves? and when he brings his word upon you, will ye then not be aghast and fear?
|
|
102:2 And all the luminaries shall be affrighted with great fear, And all the earth shall be affrighted and tremble and be alarmed.
|
102:3All the luminaries are agitated with great fear; and all the earth is spared, while it trembles, and suffers anxiety.
|
102:2 And all the luminaries will tremble in great fear, and all the earth will be aghast, and will tremble and quake.
|
|
102:3 And all the angels shall execute their commandst And shall seek to hide themselves from the presence of the Great Glory, And the children of earth shall tremble and quake; And ye sinners shall be cursed for ever, And ye shall have no peace.
|
102:4All the angels fulfill the commands received by them, and are desirous of being concealed from the presence of the great Glory; while the children of the earth are alarmed and troubled. 102:5But you, sinners, are for ever accursed; to you there shall be no peace.
|
102:3 And all the angels will fulfil their commands, and will desire to hide themselves from before him, great in glory, and the children of the earth will tremble and shake; and ye, sinners, are cursed to eternity, and will have no peace.
|
|
102:4 Fear ye not, ye souls of the righteous, And be hopeful ye that have died in righteousness.
|
102:6Fear not, souls of the righteous; but wait with patient hope for the day of your death in righteousness.
|
102:4 Fear not, ye souls of the just, and hope for the day of your death in justice.
|
|
102:5 And grieve not if your soul into Sheol has descended in grief, And that in your life your body fared not according to your goodness, But wait for the day of the judgement of sinners And for the day of cursing and chastisement.
|
Grieve not, because your souls descend in great trouble, with groaning, lamentation, and sorrow, to the receptacle of the dead. In your lifetime your bodies have not received a recompense in proportion to your goodness, but in the period of your existence have sinners existed; in the period of execration and of punishment.
|
102:5 And be not sorrowful that your souls descend into Sheol, in great trouble and lamentation and sorrow, and in grief, and that your bodies have not found it in your life as your goodness deserved, but rather on a day on which ye were like the sinners, and on the day of the curse and the punishment.
|
|
102:6 And yet when ye die the sinners speak over you: " As we die, so die the righteous, And what benefit do they reap for their deeds ?
|
102:7And when you die, sinners say concerning you, As we die, the righteous die. What profit have they in their works?
|
102:6 And when ye die the sinners speak over you: "As we die the just die, and what benefit have they in their deeds?
|
|
102:7 Behold, even as we, so do they die in grief and darkness, And what have they more than we ? From henceforth we are equal.
|
Behold, like us, they expire in sorrow and in darkness. What advantage have they over us? Henceforward are we equal.
|
102:7 Behold, as we, they have died in anxiety and in darkness, and what advantage have they over us? from now on we are equal.
|
|
102:8 And what will they receive and what will they see for ever ? Behold, they too have died, And henceforth for ever shall they see no light."
|
What will be within their grasp, and what before their eyes for ever? For behold they are dead; and never will they again perceive the light.
|
102:8 And what will they receive, and what will they see to eternity? For behold they too have died, and from now on to eternity they do not see the light."
|
|
102:9 I tell you, ye sinners, ye are content to eat and drink, and rob and sin, and strip men naked, and
|
I say unto you, sinners, You have been satisfied with meat and drink, with human plunder and rapine, with sin, with the
|
102:9 I tell you sinners: it is sufficient for you to eat and drink and to make a man naked, and
|
|
102:10 acquire wealth and see good days. Have ye seen the righteous how their end falls out, that no manner
|
acquisition of wealth and with the sight of good days. Have you not marked the righteous, how their end is in peace? For no
|
to rob and to sin, and to acquire wealth, and to see good days.102:10 Have ye seen the just, how their end was peace, because no
|
|
102:11 of violence is found in them till their death ? " Nevertheless they perished and became as though they had not been, and their spirits descended into Sheol in tribulation."
|
oppression is found in them even to the day of their death. They perish, and are as if they were not, while their souls descend in trouble to the receptacle of the dead.
|
oppression was found in them to the day of their death?102:11 "And they were destroyed, and became as if they had not been, and the souls descended in Sheol in trouble."

|
103:1 Now, therefore, I swear to you, the righteous, by the glory of the Great and Honoured and
|
103:1But now I swear to you, righteous, by the greatness of his splendour and his glory;
|
103:1 And now I swear to you the just, by his great glory and his honor, and by his
|
|
103:2 Mighty One in dominion, and by His greatness I swear to you. I know a mystery And have read the heavenly tablets, And have seen the holy books, And have found written therein and inscribed regarding them:
|
by his illustrious kingdom and by his majesty, to you I swear, that I comprehend this mystery; that I have read the tablet of heaven, have seen the writing of the holy ones, and have discovered what is written and impressed on it concerning you.
|
glorious kingdom and by his greatness I swear to you:103:2 I know this mystery, and have read it in the tablets of heaven, and have seen the book of the holy ones, and have found written in it and inscribed on their account,
|
|
103:3 That all goodness and joy and glory are prepared for them, And written down for the spirits of those who have died in righteousness, And that manifold good shall be given to you in recompense for your labours, And that your lot is abundantly beyond the lot of the living.
|
103:2I have seen that all goodness, joy, and glory has been prepared for you, and been written down for the spirits of them who die eminently righteous and good. To you it shall be given in return for your troubles; and your portion of happiness shall far exceed the portion of the living.
|
103:3 that all goodness and joy and honor are prepared for them, and are written down for the spirits of those who have died in justice, and that much good is given to you as a reward for your labor, and that your portion is better than the portion of the living.
|
|
103:4 And the spirits of you who have died in righteousness shall live and rejoice, And their spirits shall not perish, nor their memorial from before the face of the Great One Unto all the generations of the world: wherefore no longer fear their contumely.
|
103:3The spirits of you who die in righteousness shall exist and rejoice. Their spirits shall exult; and their remembrance shall be before the face of the Mighty One from generation to generation. Nor shall they now fear disgrace.
|
103:4 And your souls will live, ye who have died in justice, and your spirits will rejoice and be glad, and their remembrance will be before the face of the Great One to all the generations of eternity. And now do not fear their shame.
|
|
103:5 Woe to you, ye sinners, when ye have died, If ye die in the wealth of your sins, And those who are like you say regarding you: ' Blessed are the sinners: they have seen all their days.
|
103:4Woe to you, sinners, when you die in your sins; and they, who are like you, say respecting you, Blessed are these sinners. They have lived out their whole period;
|
103:5 Woe to you, sinners, if ye die in your sins, and those who are like you say concerning you: "Blessed are they, the sinners, they have seen all their days;
|
|
103:6 And how they have died in prosperity and in wealth, And have not seen tribulation or murder in their life; And they have died in honour, And judgement has not been executed on them during their life."
|
and now they die in happiness and in wealth. Distress and slaughter they knew not while alive; in honour they die; nor ever in their lifetime did judgment overtake them.
|
103:6 and now they have died in good fortune and in wealth, and have not seen trouble or murder in their life; in glory they have died, and judgment has not been passed over them in their life."
|
|
103:7 Know ye, that their souls will be made to descend into Sheol And they shall be wretched in their great tribulation.
|
103:5But has it not been shown to them, that, when to the receptacle of the dead their souls shall be made to descend, their evil deeds shall become their greatest torment?
|
103:7 Do ye know that their souls will be caused to descend into Sheol, and it will be ill with them, and their trouble great?
|
|
103:8 And into darkness and chains and a burning flame where there is grievous judgement shall your spirits enter; And the great judgement shall be for all the generations of the world. Woe to you, for ye shall have no peace.
|
Into darkness, into the snare, and into the flame, which shall burn to the great judgment, shall their spirits enter; and the great judgment shall take effect for ever and for ever. 103:6Woe to you; for to you there shall be no peace.
|
103:8 And in darkness and in toils and in a burning flame their spirits will burn at the great judgment; and a great judgment will be for all generations to eternity. Woe to you, for ye will have no peace!
|
|
103:9 Say not in regard to the righteous and good who are in life: " In our troubled days we have toiled laboriously and experienced every trouble, And met with much evil and been consumed, And have become few and our spirit small.
|
Neither can you say to the righteous, and to the good who are alive, In the days of our trouble have we been afflicted; every manner of trouble have we seen, and many evil things have suffered. 103:7Our spirits have been consumed, lessened, and diminished.
|
103:9 Say not to the just and good who are in life: "In the days of our need we have endured labor, and have seen all need, and have met much evil, and have been injured and diminished, and our spirit has become small.
|
|
103:10 And we have been destroyed and have not found any to help us even with a word: We have been tortured [and destroyed], and not hoped to see life from day to day.
|
103:8We have perished; nor has there been a possibility of help for us in word or in deed: we have found none, but have been tormented and destroyed. 103:9We have not expected to live day after day.
|
103:10 We have been destroyed, and there was none to help us; with word and deed we were incapable, and attained to nothing whatever; we were tortured and destroyed, and did not hope to see life, day by day.
|
|
103:11 We hoped to be the head and have become the tail: We have toiled laboriously and had no satisfaction in our toil; And we have become the food of the sinners and the unrighteous, And they have laid their yoke heavily upon us.
|
103:10We hoped indeed to have been the head; 103:11But we have become the tail. We have been afflicted, when we have exerted ourselves; but we have been devoured by sinners and the ungodly; their yoke has been heavy upon us.
|
103:11 We hoped to be the head, and were the tail; we labored exceedingly, and did not gain by our labor; we became food for sinners, and the unjust laid their yoke heavily upon us.
|
|
103:12 They have had dominion over us that hated us and smote us; And to those that hated us we have bowed our necks But they pitied us not.
|
103:12Those have exercised dominion over us who detest and who goad us; and to those who hate us have we humbled our neck; but they have shown no compassion towards us.
|
103:12 Those who hated and those who beat us became our rulers; and we bent our neck to our haters, and they did not pity us.
|
|
103:13 We desired to get away from them that we might escape and be at rest, But found no place whereunto we should flee and be safe from them.
|
103:13We have been desirous of escaping from them, that we might fly away and be at rest; but we have found no place to which we could fly, and be secure from them.
|
103:13 And we desired to go from them in order to flee and to rest, but we did not find whither to flee and to save ourselves from them.
|
|
103:14 And are complained to the rulers in our tribulation, And cried out against those who devoured us, But they did not attend to our cries And would not hearken to our voice.
|
We have sought an asylum with princes in our distress, and have cried out to those who were devouring us; but our cry has not been regarded, nor have they been disposed to hear our voice;
|
103:14 We complained to the rulers in our trouble and in our pain over those who devoured us; but they did not attend to our cry, and did not wish to hear our voice.
|
|
103:15 And they helped those who robbed us and devoured us and those who made us few; and they concealed their oppression, and they did not remove from us the yoke of those that devoured us and dispersed us and murdered us, and they concealed their murder, and remembered not that they had lifted up their hands against us.
|
103:14But rather to assist those who plunder and devour us; those who diminish us, and hide their oppression; who remove not their yoke from us, but devour, enervate, and slay us; who conceal our slaughter, nor remember that they have lifted up their hands against us.
|
103:15 And they helped those who robbed and devoured us, and those who diminished us, and they made secret their oppression, so that they did not remove their yoke from us, but devoured us and scattered us and murdered us; and they kept secret our murder, and did not think of it that they had lifted up their hands against us."

One. Your names will be written before the glory of the Great One.104:2 Hope, for at first ye were disgraced in evil and need, but now ye will shine like the luminaries of heaven,

You shall be seen, and the gates of heaven shall be opened to you. Your cries have cried for judgment; and it has appeared to you; for an account of all your sufferings shall be required from the

Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgement and ye shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal

Conduct yourselves as you may, still you shall not be concealed in the day of the great judgment. You shall not be found like sinners; and eternal

rulers, and on all those who help those who oppressed you.104:4 Hope, and do not cease your hope, for ye will have great joy, like the angels in heaven.104:5 Since such will be yours, ye will not hide on the day of the great judgment, and ye will not be found as sinners, and the everlasting

104:6 judgement shall be far from you for all the generations of the world. And now fear not, ye righteous, when ye see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways: be not companions with them,

condemnation shall be far from you, so long as the world exists. 104:4And now fear not, righteous, when you see sinners flourishing and prosperous in their ways. 104:5Be not associates with them;

judgment will be far from you for all the generations of the world.104:6 And now, fear not, ye just, when ye see the sinners strengthening and rejoicing in their desires, and be not associates with them,

104:7 but keep afar from their violence; for ye shall become companions of the hosts of heaven. And, although ye sinners say: " All our sins shall not be searched out and be written down," nevertheless

but keep yourselves at a distance from their oppression; be you associated with the host of heaven. You, sinners, say, All our transgressions shall not be taken account of, and be recorded.

but keep far from their oppression, for ye shall be companions of the hosts of heaven.104:7 Ye sinners, although ye say: "Ye cannot search it out, and all our sins are not written down; still

idols; for all your lying and all your impiety is not for righteousness, but for great crime. 104:7Now will I point out a mystery: Many sinners shall turn and transgress against the word of uprightness. 104:8They shall speak evil things; they shall utter falsehood; execute great undertakings; and compose books in

idols; for all your untruths and all your impiety will not be to you for a justification, but for a great sin.104:10 And now, I know this mystery that the words of rectitude will be changed, and many sinners will rebel, and will speak wicked words, and will lie and make great works, and write books concerning
|
|
104:11 their words. But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully -all that I first testified
|
their own words. But when they shall write all my words correctly in their own languages, 104:9They shall neither change or diminish them; but shall write them all correctly; all which from the first I have uttered
|
their words.104:11 But when they write all my words in rectitude in their languages, and do not change or abridge anything of my words, but write all in rectitude, all that I have first testified
|
|
104:12 concerning them. Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the
|
concerning them. 104:10Another mystery also I point out. To the righteous and the wise shall be given books
|
on their account,104:12 then I know another mystery, that books will be given to just and to the
|
|
104:13 wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.'
|
of joy, of integrity, and of great wisdom. To them shall books be given, in which they shall believe; 104:11And in which they shall rejoice. And all the righteous shall be rewarded, who from these shall acquire the knowledge of every upright path.
|
wise for joy and for rectitude and for much wisdom.104:13 And the books will be given to them, and they will believe in them and will rejoice in them; and then all the just, who have learned all the paths of rectitude out of them, will be rewarded.

105:1 In those days the Lord bade (them) to summon and testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom: Show (it) unto them; for ye are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth.
|
104:1In those days, saith the Lord, they shall call to the children of the earth, and make them listen to their wisdom. Show them that you are their leaders;
|
105:1 And in those days, says the Lord, "they will call and testify over the sons of the earth concerning their wisdom: show it to them, for ye are their leaders, and the rewards over all the earth.
|
|
105:2 For I and My son will be united with them for ever in the paths of uprightness in their lives; and ye shall have peace: rejoice, ye children of uprightness. Amen.
|
for I and my Son will for ever hold communion with them in the paths of uprightness, while they are still alive. Peace shall be yours. Rejoice, children of integrity, in the truth. 104:2And that remuneration shall take place over the whole earth;

105:2 For I and my son will join with them to eternity in the paths of rectitude in their lives. And peace will be to you; rejoice, ye children of rectitude, in truth!"

And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: 'The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and

105:12His father Lamech feared, and fled to me, believing not that the child belonged to him, but that he resembled the angels of heaven. And behold I am come to you, that you might point out to me the truth. 105:13Then I, Enoch, answered and said, The Lord will effect a new thing upon the earth. This have I explained, and seen in a vision. I have shown you that in the generations of Jared my father, those who were from heaven disregarded the word of the Lord. Behold they committed crimes; laid aside their class, and intermingled with women. With them also they transgressed; married with them, and begot children. 105:16aAnd his posterity shall beget on the earth giants, not spiritual, but carnal. Upon the earth shall a great punishment be inflicted, and it shall be washed from all corruption. 105:14A great destruction therefore shall come upon all the earth; a deluge,

his mouth, and blessed the Lord of heaven.106:12 And his father Lamech was afraid, and fled to me, and did not believe that he was from him, but that his similarity was from the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to thee that thou shouldst teach me justice [i.e. the truth]."106:13 And I, Enoch, answered, and said to him: "The Lord will make new things on the earth, and this I know, and have seen in a vision, and I announce it to thee that in the generations of my father Jared some from the heights of heaven departed from the word of the Lord.106:14 And behold, they committed sin, and departed from the law, and united themselves with women, and committed sin with them, and married some of them, and begat children from them.106:17 [They beget on earth giants, not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there will be great punishment on the earth, and the earth will be washed of all of its uncleanness.]106:15 And great destruction will be over all the earth, and there will be the water of a deluge, and

106:16 a great destruction for one year. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth 8 shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.

When all mankind who are on the earth shall die, he shall be safe. 105:16bNow therefore inform your son Lamech, that he who is born is his child in truth; and he shall call his name Noah, for he shall be to you a survivor. He and his children shall be saved from the corruption which shall take place in the world; from all the sin and from all the iniquity which shall be consummated on earth in his days. Afterwards shall greater impiety take place than that which had been before consummated on the earth; for I am acquainted with holy mysteries, which the Lord himself has discovered and explained to me; and which I have read in the tablets of heaven.

a great destruction will be for one year.106:16 This son who is born to thee will be left on the earth, and his three children will be saved with him; when all men who are on the earth shall die, he and his children will be saved.106:18 And now announce to thy son Lamech that he who was born to him is in truth his son, and call his name Noah, for he will be a remnant of you; and he and his children will be saved from the destruction which will come over the earth on account of all the sins and all the injustice which will be completed in his days over the earth.106:19 And after that, injustice will exceed that which was first committed on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones, for he, the Lord, has showed me, and has instructed me, and I have read in the tablets of heaven.

And wait ye indeed till sin has passed away, for their names shall be blotted out of the book of life and out of the holy books, and their seed shall be destroyed for ever, and their spirits shall be slain, and they shall cry and make lamentation in a place that is a chaotic wilderness, and in the fire shall they burn; for there is no earth there.

And he hath assigned them their recompense, because they have been found to be such as loved heaven more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame,

found pure, that they might bless his name. All their blessings have I related in a book; and He has rewarded them; for they have been found to love heaven with an everlasting aspiration. God has said, While they have been trodden down by wicked men, they have heard from them revilings and blasphemies; and have been ignominiously treated,

found in cleanness to praise his name.108:10 All the blessings they received I have marked down in the books; and he has destined for them their wages, because they have been shown as those who loved the everlasting heaven more than their life, and while they were trodden down by wicked men, and heard abuse and reviling from them,

108:11 yet they blessed Me. And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not recompensed
|
while they were blessing me. And now will I call the spirits of the good from the generation of light, and will change those who have been born in darkness; who have not in their bodies been recompensed
|
praised me."108:11 And now I will call to the spirits of the good, from the generation of light, and change those who were born in darkness, who have not been rewarded in their bodies

with honor, as was meet for their fidelity.108:12 And I will lead out in a shining light those who

108:13 have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honour. And they shall be resplendent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgement of God; for to the faithful
