.8.And evil will increase over them, and punishment will come upon them to destroy them all.”CHAP.81.— And he said to me: “O Enoch, contemplate the writing of the tablets ofheaven, and read what is written thereon, and learn each one.” 2.And I contemplated everything on these tablets of heaven, and read everything that was written, and learned everything and read the book and everything that was written in it, all the deeds of men and all the children of flesh who will be on the earth to the generation of eternity.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.4.And at that time I said: “Happy the man who dies as a just and good one, concerning whom there is no book of iniquity written, and against whom no blame is found.” 5.And those three holy ones brought me and placed me on the earth before the door of my house and said to me: “Announce everything to thy sonMethulselah, and show to all thy children that no flesh is just before the Lord, for he has created them.6.One year we will leave thee with thy children, till thou art againstrengthened, that thou mayest teach thy children and write for them, and mayest testify before them all, thy children; and in the second year they will lift thee up out of their midst.7.Let thy heart be strong, for the good will announce justice to the good, the just will rejoice with the just and will congratulate themselves among themselves.8.But the sinner will die with the sinner, and the renegade sink down with the renegade.9.And those who do justice will die on account of the deeds of men, and will be gathered in on account of the deeds of the impious.” 10.And in those days they completed conversing with me, and I went to my people blessing the Lord of the worlds.CHAP.82.—And now my son, Methuselah, all these things I relate to thee and write for thee, and I have revealed to thee everything, and have given thee books concerning them all: preserve, my son, Methuselah, the books from the hand of thy father, and give them to the generations of the world.2.Wisdom I have given thee and thy children and those who will be thy children, that they give it to their children, the generations to eternity, nam ely this wisdom above their thoughts.3.And those who understand it will not sleep, but will hear with their ears, that they may learn this wisdom, and it will please those who eat of it morethan good food.4.Happy are all the just, happy all those who walk in the paths of justice and have no sin like the sinners, in the counting of all their days, in which the sun goes through the heavens, entering and departing from the gates, each time thirty times, together with the heads of the thousands of this order of the stars, together with the four that are added and separate between the four portions of the year, which they lead and enter with them four days.5.And on their account men will be at fault, and will not count them in the reckoning of the whole world; but men will be mistaken and will not know them exactly.6.For they belong to the reckoning of the year and are exactly marked forever, one in the first portal and one in the third and one in the fourth and one in the sixth, and the year is completed in three hundred and sixty-four days.7.And the account of it is true, and the marked reckoning exact; for the luminaries and the months and the festivals and the years have been shown and given to me by Uriel, to whom the Lord of all creation had givencommand, in reference to me, of the host of the heavens.8.And he has power over night and day in the heavens, that he may show light over men; the sun and the moon and the stars and all the powers of heaven which turn in their circuit.9.And this is the order of the stars that set in their places and in their times and in their festivals and in their months.10.And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter in their times and in their order and in their occasions and in their months and in their powers and in their positions.11.Their four leaders who divide the four portions of the year enter first; after them the twelve leaders of the orders, who separate the months and the year into three hundred and sixty-four days, together with the heads of the thousands who divide the days; for the four intercalary days these are the leaders who separate the four parts of the years.12.And of those heads of the thousands, one is placed between the leader and the led, back of the position, but their leader divides.13.And these are the names of the leaders who separate the four parts of the year which are ordained: Melkeêl and Helemmêlêch, andMêlêjal and Nârêl.14.And the names of those they lead: Adnârêl and Ijasusâêl andIjelumîêl, these three follow after the leaders of the orders, and one follows after the three leaders of the orders, who follow after those leaders of positions who separate the four portions of the year.15.In the commencement of the year Melkejâl rises first and rules, he who is called Tamaânî and sun, and all the days of his government that he rules areninety-one days.16 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
