Translators’ Preface
The Teachings of the Kings, or “Mandæan Book of John” as it is commonly known, has provided ethical
instruction to members of its ancient religious community for ages and generations. For this reason, it is one
of the most commonly copied texts, and most frequently found in their homes, but until now it has never
appeared in a full and unabridged English translation. Portions of it have found their way into English and
other languages, and complete translations have emerged in both German and Arabic, but these universally
render it in prose rather than its original verse. This new English verse translation therefore serves not only
the interests of this community as it finds refuge in its diaspora around the world, but also that of a reading
public perennially engaged with the sacred texts of ancient Middle East, and most particularly those that
relate to its own faiths.
As elaborated in these sacred texts, the core of their faith is a doctrine known as Nāṣerutā or ‘Nazorenism’,
the adherents of which are called ‘Nazorenes’ (nāṣorāyi). Within this group of people, these texts further
distinguish between a priesthood, tarmidutā, and a laity, mandāyutā. The latter word, which comes from
their word for knowledge (mandā), furnishes us with a useful term for the entire complex of beliefs, culture,
faith, and practices associated with this doctrine, namely ‘Mandæism’. Thus its followers are often called
Mandæans, although we could just as easily refer to them as ‘Nazorenes’ or even ‘Gnostics’, using the Greek
word for knowledge (gnōsis) in place of an Aramaic one. To their non-Mandæan neighbors in the region, they
are most commonly known as Ṣubba or Sabians, employing a term lifted from the religious vocabulary of the
Qur’ān.
The “kings” referenced in its original title are spirits who have descended from the world of light and
govern the material world. Their moral teachings, brought for the benefit of a humanity enmired in a fallen
world, are integrated into a cosmic narrative that spans from a violent war in heaven to the creation of the
material world and the strange creatures that populate it, and the apocalyptic destruction of Jerusalem with
which it concludes. Above this drama presides the Great Life, the supreme being of the Mandæans, whose
name closes each chapter. Among the mortal figures who grace its pages, pride of place is given to the chief
prophet of the Mandæans, John, son of Zechariah, who is known to Christians as the Baptist.
When it comes to matters of interpretation, scriptures stand in a category of their own, separate from
modern and post-modern literature (for which even the most traditional readers admit the potential for a
multiplicity of readings) and epigraphic texts (which had long ceased to be curated by any community before
they were rediscovered). While nothing prevents you or us from reading any of these works as we please, and
reading our own meanings into them, scholars and people of faith alike find themselves confronted with a
(somewhat self-imposed) constraint: how to read these texts correctly, which is to say, how to read the correct
meaning into them. As a rule, we do not permit ourselves to read any old meaning into scriptures or ancient
texts, and with good reasons.
One of the most characteristic features of scriptures is that their readings are actively and presently
curated by a religious community. There may be many reasons for this; the community in question may
consider them to be
– divinely authored or inspired; that is to say, whether they are attributed to a human author or not, they
are ultimately of supernatural origin;
– in James Kugel’s terms, “omnisignificant,” that is, meaningful in each and every detail, and with a
meaning that is eternally and directly relevant to each and every reader;
– ultimately admitting only of a single correct meaning, which can be discovered only through careful
analysis, rather than a fluid multiplicity of meanings.

These three attributes of scriptures, at least as they are understood among those traditions conventionally
described as “Abrahamic,” naturally exist in a certain tension with one another. If every last detail is exis-
tentially relevant but admits of only one possible divinely-ordained reading, then it behooves the scholars of
that community to struggle continuously to elaborate this reading, and then guard it for the benefit of future
generations, which extends to subsequent re-workings of scripture into different languages. Thus “context
rather than content makes the holy untranslatable,” in the words of Christopher Shackle.
x   Translators’ Preface

In the case of some ancient texts, these painstakingly developed schools of interpretation, laboriously
constructed over the centuries, have largely disappeared along with the community that constructed them,
and in their absence, other scholars have appointed themselves their custodians, and perpetuate the interpre-
tive work of that vanished community, with an important exception―to our knowledge, no latter-day scholar
of the Babylonian creation myth Enûma Eliš (to give one example) maintains that it is divinely inspired.
While secular scholars differ from religious scholars in that respect, otherwise much of their approach to the
text remains the same. They both maintain that the text admits of only one correct meaning, both at the time
in which it was authored and subsequently for all time, and that this meaning reveals itself only through
careful analysis. These texts then share much with more familiar and widely-disseminated scriptures, save
that they are no longer curated by communities that consider them divinely inspired or divinely authored. We
might therefore deem them “post-scriptures.”
An obvious tension emerges, then, when secular scholars apply the same approach to scriptures that
are still being actively curated by a religious community, with their own painstakingly developed schools of
interpretation. To give an example, the present-day German scholar Christoph Luxenberg disagrees with the
fourteenth-century Shafi’ite scholar Ismail ibn Kathir on the divine authorship of the Qur’an, but agrees with
him regarding the existence of a single exclusive meaning of this particular text, which he likewise seeks to
uncover. Neither considers himself to be engaged in the business of “knowledge production,” but rather the
business of “knowledge recovery,” and for this reason their readings are not only in direct competition with
one another, but also mutually incompatible.
Since neither secular nor religious scholars typically admit of a fluid multiplicity of meanings, each com-
munity establishes its own conventions for producing readings, and its own criteria for assessing their merits.
The conventions for secular scholars are much the same as those for religious ones. The ultimate basis for
both is direct observation, either from internal factors such as the ways in which the scriptures describe the
world around them, which can presumably be connected to that world in ways that might be meaningful, or
from external factors, such as the age of the physical manuscripts, and what its copyists and past interpreters
have to say about it. From these observations, new questions inevitably emerge, and scholars develop new
readings to answer them, and hopefully test these readings in order to expand, alter, reject, or refine them.
Among communities of secular scholars, the merits of the readings so developed are assessed through
the process of peer review. Ultimately, a reading’s success will depend not only upon its ability to answer
the questions that emerge from observation, but also upon other forms of merit, such as its originality, or
the qualifications of its reader. The former is critical, to ensure that the reader has not simply replicated past
scholarship, or even presented it as an original contribution. The latter is equally critical to the reading’s
success, but some communities employ double blind peer review, in an attempt to reduce the impact of psy-
chological and socio-economic factors on its initial reception. In such instances, the identities of both the
reader and the reviewers are obscured, until the other merits of the reading have been assessed.
In any model of scholarship, there is, was, and always will be a tension between the ways in which a
reading’s merits are assessed, and the ways in which they determine its ultimate impact. Some readings
are accepted primarily on the strength of the reader’s qualifications, and the level of prestige and support
they enjoy from the scholarly establishment. This is frequently the case with secular scholars working on
the religious traditions of others. Others are valued for the degree to which they affirm a scholarly or reli-
gious dogma. This is often the case with religious scholars elaborating their own religious traditions, who
must necessarily deprecate originality in favor of orthodoxy. Regardless of whether we seek the support of
scholarly or religious establishments, we might still conclude that the ultimate merit of our own effort at
reading meaning into the text is whether it answers the questions that emerge from observation, and whether
another careful reader, equipped with these same observations and furnished with these same questions,
could (we dare not say “would”) arrive at the same reading. This, then, is the rubric against which we hope
this reading will be evaluated.

 Dedication
May God be Praised!

In the name of the Great and Strange Life from the countless worlds of light, who is above all works, may I,
___________ ___________, my wife, ___________ ___________, my father, ___________ ___________, and my
mother, ___________ ___________ have healing and innocence, power and strength, speech and hearing, a
joyful heart and absolution from sins, by virtue of these teachings of the kings.

In the name of the Great Life, may the sublime light be magnified!

1. Truth stands by the worlds’ entrance, asking questions to the world.

He says,
“Tell me, how wide is the earth?
How high is it from the earth
5 Whence came Adam?
Whence came Pitcher-Wine and Spring-Water,
From whose settlement has this Oil,
From whose headwater
Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
10 Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
Who called out a great cry,
Who set into motion the great conflict,
Who caused the high breach,
15 Who will be the guardian of the house,
Tell me, upon what is the bed
Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
Tell me, how many thousands of excellencies
20 Tell me, what are the names of the three robes
Tell me, who revealed speech and hearing
Tell me, who among the excellencies
and brings it before Intellect?
Tell me, who among the excellencies
to the vault of heaven?
Whence came his wife, Eve?
who transcend the worlds?
White Sesame’s son come to me?
do these rivers of living water come?
sit beneath the vine Yusmir?
sit beneath the vine Shar?
sit beneath the vine Pirun?
and roused Intellect from its place?
which will not be resolved for an eternity?
which will not be plugged for an eternity?
as far as the enclosure of the worlds?
of the great and powerful Intellect supported?
sit to the right of the great and powerful Intellect?
sit to the left of the great and powerful Intellect?
stand before the great and powerful Intellect?
of splendor, light, and glory?
to the excellencies in their settlements?
takes the incense holder,
accepts prayer and praise,

2. Truth stands by the worlds’ entrance,
He said,
“Who revealed the secret of the Great,
Who shook the settlements,
5 Who bound Ur?
Why did they make Abator a judge?
Who told Spirit,
Who brought calm,
Who corrupted the great justice,
10 Who caused the works to be destroyed,
Who disturbed settlements,
Who brought a great weapon,
Who seized praise,
Who offered praise,
15 When Truth had said this,
and he said,
“I shall tell you the truth,
Yushamen revealed the secret of the Great,
Hibel shook the settlements,
20 He caused the rumbling in Senyawis,
Ur was bound by Life’s word
Yushamen was cast down
and start a fight with the Mighty’s house.
He hatched wicked schemes and was bound,
25 He cast down his own mouth,
He had no concern and was not humbled,
They made Abator a judge,
He saw his son in the black water,
and he said,
30 “I am a king’s son,
and he said,
“I shall place a seal on my settlement,
He summoned his son Ptahil,
Abator wronged his ancestors and my house,
35 and he went to become the scales.
Abator weeps and wails,

Who cast Yushamen down from his place?
Why was inequality created in the world?

and who revealed the secret of the Light?
and who spoke the word when it did not exist?

because he wanted to make an attack
so Yushamen might stay put for eternity.
because he was not orderly.

because Excellent Hibel cast him down.
he summoned him to his settlement,
so therefore I shall be called a king’s son,”

Come, start a great fight,
20 Arise, forge a great weapon,
Gird a sword, bring wrath,
Go down to the realm of Air,
this one whose land is destroyed,
Yushamen’s son spoke
25 “Come, air king!
against Sprout, the air king!”
“Who bound Yushamen before you,
The air king spoke to Splendid Transplant, saying,
“The king commanded, and bound Yushamen.
30 Splendid Transplant opened his mouth, and raged.
“You are not fit, and neither is
Your father is not a powerful excellency.”
Great Sprout spoke
“Damn you, and damn the clan
35 You, who would end a fight with a king,
Splendid Transplant drew a sword
Splendid Transplant struck him once,
Splendid Transplant struck him twice,
Splendid Transplant struck him three times,
40 Great Sprout spoke
“You son of a disgraceful father,
When Great Sprout said this,
The eldest had put on the weapon,
Shouting a challenge to Life,
45 The sound of their weapons
their sounds reached
“How did Yushamen cut through
Who started a fight
Excellent Gubran saw,
50 “It is the twenty-one sons of Yushamen,
Then the light king said to Gubran,
“Arm yourself
Take and set out for the realm of Air.
Then Gubran took a great weapon,
Translation | 11
and destroy the works of the Creator!
and wage a war for which there is no end!
take the deadly arrows that do not fail!
to your father’s settlements,
and for whom there is no throne to occupy.”
to Great Sprout, saying,
Let us take swords unsheathed
and he says to him,
to end the fight with him?”
Who ends a fight with the kings?”
He summoned Great Sprout, and said to Great Sprout,
the clan from which you came.
to Splendid Transplant, saying,
of your father, the agitator!
are not fit for the Great Life’s house!”
and fell upon great Sprout, the air king.
but his sword did not cut through his splendor.
but his sword did not cut through his splendor.
but his sword did not cut through his splendor.
to Splendid Transplant, saying,
the likes of me are not afraid of you!”
the twenty-one sons of Yushamen drew their swords.
and the youngest was battle-clad.
they set weapons upon one another.
and the sound of their gear:
the great light king, and he says,
and ruin the prison?
with the excellencies and hid himself?”
and said to the light king,
they are starting a great fight that won’t be resolved.”

See whether they are the sons of Yushamen.”

It was not written for you to wage a war.

You have crushed the great nest,
Your double will be released,

You stand without judgment, Yushamen,

You didn’t worry about the Jordan’s clarity
You know full well, Yushamen,
When it left the mouth of the world,
Did you not know, Yushamen,

Your offspring were taken through disputes,
You multiplied their sighing,
You have put tears in your eyes,
Yushamen spoke to Splendid Plant, saying,

You were never great,

There is no truth
When Manda d’Heyyi had said this,
“Were you not a messenger they sent, and had I come (instead),

When Yushamen [had said this]

Manda d’Heyyi saw Yushamen,

 6:5 – 7:33
In the name of the Great Life,
7. When I, Yushamen, thought,
revelation, and explanations without end,
and sought to learn from the saying
I set my mind to do battle with the Great.
5 I said, “I shall do battle
and the Life before which none come.
I shall wage war with the light,
In the midst of the Jordans I’ll make
{The first time} When Yushamen plotted,
10 and then the excellencies were in concerns,
They sent me a messenger about him,
The messenger, who brought the great king’s letter,
for as long as the Great [Life] wants.
When the messenger brought the letter,
15 “Rise up from your throne.”
There was fear in his mind,
He got up from his throne,
“Who will put the bonds on Yushamen,
Yukashar got up from his throne,
20 Yushamen opened his mouth,
“How long haven’t you seen my likeness and stature,
How long haven’t you eaten a morsel from my plate,
How long haven’t you seen my form,
The messenger opened his mouth,
25 “Do not say I came to you for my own sake;
and I couldn’t very well say to Yushamen,
The very good took pride
Yushamen took pride
but his sons will be destroyed, entering a brawl,
30 His splendor and his constant light grew dim,
The wrath that the king has released
You, Yushamen, you will settle down,
Your glory will be taken from you,
Translation | 21
may the sublime light be magnified!
I sought splendor, light,
in the first treasure,
that my father has given me.
I bundled up my rage and venom in my mind.
with the First Life, the Second Life,
and I’ll make the tumult of battle.
a great battle that is without end!”
he did something disgusting, that was inappropriate,
that grew and which they gave to me.
that he had covered himself in wrath and battle.
they put Yushamen in the great shackles
he did not greet him. He said to him,
and he spewed bile before him.
sat upon the ground, and said,
since the king has sent for him in rage?”
and placed the bonds in his right hand.
saying to the messenger,
and not drunk from a cup with me?
not woven the wreath, and not set [it] on your head?
and my brightness hasn’t spread over you?”
saying to Yushamen,
the king sent for you in anger,
‘Bliss and serenity from men.’
when they don’t act according to an evil inclination.
in his fortresses and his buildings;
and his ladies will leave him for some tail.
and his accomplishments will be abandoned.
will not dissipate for generations.
you will go to the Nether Gate.
the crown that the Great [Life] gave you.

 9:8 – 9:43
What have I done, among my deeds,
Now it pains me, and it grieves
10 How long shall I sigh, and grieve
How will it shed tears,
all of whose sons were driven away,
I am like a lofty cedar, which the carpenters
Like a cedar that iron has surrounded,
15 Neither my brothers, out of pity
remembered to extend truth[’s hand].
They forgot the day of my reckoning,
How long have I climbed tall mountains,
I had a thousand friends,
20 Now I don’t have anyone
On what day did I say
My mind has not been revealed to me,
These fortresses of mine are devastated,
My home is deserted,
25 These desirable ladies of mine go barefoot,
This oppresses and constrains me;
As Yushamen said this,
“The one who does good, finds good,
Had you been meek,
30 now that you have thought evil,
When Manda d’Heyyi said this,
“My son, I know who bound me
If only the chain were not heavy upon me,
I would have bellowed my great roar,
35 I shall do to my enemies
until the day will come
If this comes to be,
I shall repay a debt,
Nevertheless, I took solace in the fact
40 I heard from my father
and the youth will be held responsible for their sins,
When Yushamen said this,
He sent Splendid Plant,
Translation | 27
that no other has done?
my heart.
the front of my face?
that one who is like me could not hold back,
and to whose voice none respond?
have surrounded and chopped down.
the words of my enemies surrounded me.
nor my friends, out of my friendship,
my salt and cup were completely overturned by them.
and do not recall even one of my days.
and how long have I plumbed valley roads?
and two thousand shared my platter!
to take me by my hand.
that I would be sitting here?
and none among the excellencies taught me.
and my sons have been taken away through strife.
and my messengers won’t meet one another.
even though they are wholesome women.
my heart sinks in mourning and lamentations.”
Manda d’Heyyi says,
and the one who does bad things, finds evil.
your splendor would not have left its place;
the place in which you sit is the right one!”
Yushamen spoke, saying,
in the bounds that are upon me.
and one lighter than me were encircling me,
and destroyed all of the mountains.
what one hasn’t managed to do to the other,
when the prayer will be [fulfilled] for me.
namely that my throne is re-established,
so that evil will become good.
that I know that I am not alone.
that the elders will be added to the youth,
but parents do not hate their children.”
the Great Life delighted in his words.
the guardian who resides in each and every place.

He spoke to him, saying,
45 “Go forth to Yushamen,
and tell him,
‘You are from our creation,
Do not say, “I am alone.”
and your fortresses and buildings will rise like they were.
50 Your sons will be raised up,
Your throne will be fixed up and set like it was,
When Splendid Plant heard this,
he said to him, “Yushamen,
Don’t be concerned, don’t be enraged,
55 Why should it be destined to be so,
The Great sent me, and told me,
calm Yushamen, and tell him
He will be supported, but humbled,
Now you, Yushamen,
60 [listen] to serenity,
Now, the stench is fleeing from your home,
A pure breeze is coming,
You will shine and gleam; you will be raised up
The triumphant Life speaks,
10. I said that I would be great,
I said that I would be king,
Great Sprout hated me,
I have destroyed my world,
5 When I was gentle and meek,
When they rewarded me as a righteous man,
When I was diligent and accomplished,
When I was king at the lightworlds’ beginning,
They set me down at the end of the worlds,
10 Why have they called me rebellious,
When I was king in the worlds,
In such a manner it happens to every man,
The excellency who listens to ladies’ chatter,
Translation | 29
set his heart upon its support,
we shall not leave you alone.
Your settlement was set in honor and glory,
and your messengers will guard your settlement.
and you will be called ‘king’ in your home.’”
he went forth to Yushamen,
listen to the words that I shall say.
and don’t let error enter your mind.
that you should destroy the mighty?
‘Go to Yushamen,
to enlighten all his excellencies.
and know that he is established among us.’
listen to the true word,
and stand apart from rebellion.
and a pleasant wind blows upon you.
and then you will forget the trouble.
and become a king in your world.
and the man who went here triumphs!
who has made me so small on Earth?
why did they cast me down from my throne?
and my mother Steady hated me.
and ruin has come to my house.
why did they call me rebellious?
why did they call me the author of wrongdoing?
why did they call me feckless in the world?
why did they set me at the end of the worlds?
and I am waiting in the shackles.
even when I summoned the gentle from within me?
why did they call me the author of strife?
who listens to ladies’ chatter.
after that he will be cast down from the world.

 10:14 – 11:13
When I was distinguished among excellencies,
15 Why did they separate the light from me,
They lifted my garments from me,
on which I seek my ancestors,
I seek my wives,
I seek my sons, the excellencies,
20 When it pains and oppresses me,
Of all the excellencies
they repaid me
When I was gentle before the king,
Woe is me, whose mouth brought him down,
25 They set me in bondage,
and for my mouth’s treachery
When I was king, they made me
When I was gentle and meek,
Woe to all the droplets
30 They have become enraged with me,
and they have bound me to a single place.
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
11. I am a shepherd who loves his sheep.
The fold is around me, and from the village
I do not bring them down them to the seashore,
lest they come to fear the water,
5 I come bringing them water
I bring them to the good fold,
from the Splendid Euphrates’ mouth,
I brought them myrtle and white sesame,
I brush them and I wash them,
10 I bind a girdle to them,
No wolf leaps into our fold,
they need not fear the wind,
A thief cannot enter their folds,
Translation | 31
why did they call me the Eighth One?
and carry off my splendor?
and bound me on the spot
and my glance does not meet theirs.
but my wives do not meet my glance.
but they do not meet my glance.
I weep for myself.
who have done wrong,
for the wrong I did not do.
why did he cast me down from my throne?
and whose tongue was an affliction to him.
called me a wanderer,
cast me down from my throne.
an excellency before whom is the king.
all the excellencies who were mine hated me.
of whom all belonged to me.
with a great wrath,
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
I tend the sheep and the lambs.
and the fold they do not wander.
lest they see the maelstrom;
and not drink when they thirst.
from my palm, until they drink and graze.
and they graze with me from the Euphrates’ mouth.
I brought them a boon which is sublime.
and I brought them shining banners.
and I make them smell the scent of Life.
which wolves see, and take fright.
and they need not fear the fierce lion,
or the thief that cannot enter our place.
and they need not fear the iron knife.

While my eyes were resting peacefully
15 a fissure opened in the heavens
Clouds overtook one another
Rain fell in heaps
a mountain-destorying stone,
The seas came
20 There, beneath the waters,
From the mouth, the waters carried off
One goes and doesn’t know he is going,
I leaped up and entered the fold,
I filled my eyes, I saw the sea,
25 I saw the rain clouds,
Myriads upon myriads of dragons
I weep for my sheep,
The little lambs weep,
While they are entering the house like so,
30 I call out to my sheep;
I call them and whistle to them
I whistle for them with my whistle,
I say to them, “My sheep! Come, my sheep!
Head for my voice,
35 Come, come, to me,
coming in my splendid ship,
Everyone who heeded my call, heard my voice,
I will hold in both my hands,
Every ram and ewe that was caught,
40 The voracious waters will devour,
I rose to the highest point of the vessel,
I say,
“How greatly am I distressed by my sheep,
The maelstrom, the rolling maelstrom,
45 How distressed am I for the rams,
How distressed am I for the little lambs,
Out of a thousand, I found only one,
Blessed is the one swept away by the water,
Blessed are the big rams,
Translation | 33

to my sheep, so that they be with me.

I beat the waters with my purifier.
Head for my voice!

 12:23 – 13:6
If one remains behind beside in the fold,
“Come, be a shepherd’s helper for me,
25 If a lion comes and takes one,
She’ll be the lion’s share,
If a wolf comes and takes one,
She’ll be the wolf’s share,
If a thief comes and steals one,
30 She’ll be the thief’s share,
If one falls in a fire and burns up,
She’ll be the fire’s share,
If one falls in the muck and gets stuck,
She’ll be the muck’s share,
35 If one falls in the water and drowns,
She’ll be the sea’s share,
If one remains behind in the fold,
She’ll be the foldergeist’s share,
{but does not worship what the house worships.}
40 she’ll be beside the foldergeist’s share,
Come, be a shepherd’s helper for me,
“Then I’ll be a shepherd’s helper for you,
I’ll tend a thousand thousands!”
Out of the myriad that bow down before him,
45 I climbed tall mountains,
I went and found there was nothing to pluck.
and I set them balancing in the scales.
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
13. To you I am speaking and teaching,
Don’t be part of the darkness,
Separate yourself from the evil to the good,
Love and teach one another,
5 Watch, listen, and learn,
Good people sit and argue,
Translation | 37
from where shall I get a replacement?
and tend a thousand out of a myriad for me!
she’ll be the lion’s share.
because she worships the sun.
she’ll be the wolf’s share.
because she worships the moon.
she’ll be the thief’s share.
because she worships Mars.
she’ll be the fire’s share.
because she worships fire.
she’ll be the muck’s share.
because she worships the oily one.
she’ll be the sea’s share.
because she worships the seas.
she will go be the foldergeist’s share.
because she worships the gods of Nippur,
If one remains and goes beside the foldergeist,
because she worships the ‘Holy’ Spirit.
and tend for me a thousand out of a myriad!”
and I’ll tend a thousand out of a myriad for you.
some were lost to me;
and I plumbed deep ravines.
One by one, I take them with my right hand,
A thousand balance out of a myriad.
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
the chosen and perfect who are living in the world.
and set your eyes upon light’s place.
from the sinning evildoers of darkness’ place.
so that your sins and trespasses may be forgiven.
and successfully rise to light’s place.
and how they argue and learn!

The king of the worlds beyond,
The king of the worlds beyond
He assumed the crown of light
20 He took the truth in his right hand,
and his sons instructed one another.”
“Who will come, who will tell me:
Before the firmament stretched forth,
Before the earth became solid,
25 Before the sun and the moon
how was the soul?”
“When the soul was sitting in the vessel,
When the soul was sitting in the vessel,
When the soul was sitting in the vessel,

Its mouth was pure perfection,
From the day when the Evil One began to think,

They brought the light that shines
They brought the gentle breeze,

They brought the soul, the pure mind,

 14:13 – 14:48
What have I done and what have I lent,
I have heard this,
15 ‘Whosoever carries supplies with him,
Whosoever does not carry supplies with him,
My head has grown white and I seek to go,
My eyes have stopped seeing,
My ears have stopped hearing,
20 My mouth has stopped speaking,
My hand has stopped working,
My leg has stopped moving,
I ran day and night,
I ran day and night,
25 I took a wife full
I raised children here
I established a dowry
Why did I ever take a wife,
if my sons will not pay my way and my daughters
30 My brothers will not come with me,
As for my wife who loves me,
and cries for me one hour each day,
Shall I be supported by my handiwork?”
When Shem, Noah’s son, said so,
35 “Fear not that you have taken a wife,
Were it not for wives in the world,
There would be no Earth and no Heaven,
Were it not for wives,
The sun and the moon [wouldn’t go] here,
40 Were it not for wives,
The living waters would not have come,
Were it not for wives,
the air wouldn’t be planted,
Wives are everything here,
45 You have raised your children to be
They will prepare your body for Sheol,
They will recite your ascensions for you,
They will give rewards on your behalf,
Translation | 43
that when I go, I shall carry as supplies for me?
this which came has fallen in my ear:
when he reaches the ferry, they will carry him over.
he will sit and wait for the ferry.’
like a grain whose harvest has come.
like a fortress whose roof has fallen,
like a barren woman without a child,
like a river that dries up from its mouth,
like a woman who does not raise her child,
like a dumb person who will not learn a lesson,
I ran in the daytime just like the nightime,
and I took a wife and raised children,
of the passion of this world,
just like my father raised me,
within this world.
and why did I ever raise children,
will not carry me across the great Ocean?
and my sisters will not be my supplies.
if she is pained and remembers me,
shall I be upheld by my deeds?
a messenger, his creator, came to him and said,
fret not that you have had children.
there would be no Heaven and Earth in this world.
condensation wouldn’t form and fall upon water.
the sun and the moon wouldn’t go here.
and their lights wouldn’t shine forth in this world.
the living waters would not have come.
and there wouldn’t be sowing in this world.
the air would not have come here,
there would be no fire, and it would not blaze forth.
they are like Heaven and Earth in this world.
the record of your name in the world.
they will come after you to the graveyard.
on the day that you depart the world.
so judgment will not be pronounced upon you.”

Shem, Noah’s son, spoke
50 “Perhaps they will commit adultery;
Perhaps they will commit theft;
Perhaps they will sing satanic music;
Perhaps they will renounce the name of Life;
The emissary of Life spoke,
55 “The emissary has come from on high,
and a great wrath
and the singers of satanic music
and those who renounce the name of Life
They have made you no leader over Earth,
60 Had they made you a leader,
He who immediately abandons the world,
and he will bring destruction to Earth
Arise, rise to the Great Life’s house,
The place where its sun never sets,
65 The place where there is no lie,
And Life triumphs!
In the name of the Great Life,
15. Shem in Truth begins teaching,
Shem in Truth starts saying,
“What sin did I commit in the Great Life’s house,
The Seven oppress me,
5 The First has forgotten me,
I have fallen into a great affliction
Grief has come to me,
Nemrus begins to plot,
“The chosen one has fallen into our hands;
10 and make him hear a great noise,
Let’s entrance him with our beryls and music,
Let’s seize him with our snares,
Let’s hold him in dire captivity,
Let’s detain him in our penitentiaries,
Translation | 45
to the emissary who came from on high, saying,
then they will torment me!
then the judgment will fall upon me!
then the blazing fire will consume me!
then I shall die a second death instead of one!”
and said to Shem, Noah’s son,
so that adulterers may go to the fire,
may be upon the thieves,
will be consumed by the blazing fire,
will die a second death instead of one.
nor have they called you a judge over the world.
they would not have brought Abator here.
the fire will set him aflame and consume him,
when the perfect ones leave him.
to the place where the good dwell.
and where lamps never grow dim.
and where there isn’t anyone flawed or lacking.”
may the sublime light be magnified!
and instructing Shem, Noah’s son.
so that the defective age has come to me?
and the Twelve are an affliction to me.
and the Second does not inquire after me.
and concerns that never cease.
and my tears flow without finish.”
and says to her sons, the seducers,
come, let’s trap him with our snares,
so that he might forget the sublime banners.
so he always will forget to worship.
and make him the head of us all,
and cast him into terrifying darkness,
so he forgets the place from which he came.

 15:15 – 16:14
15 Let’s send something really terrifying after him,
When the planets,
the head of the ages, Shem,
“Go away! Go away, fiends,
You won’t succeed, as you say you will.
20 My eyes that gaze upon the light,
My ears that listen to prayer and praise,
My mouth, filled with prayer and praise,
My hands that give rewards,
My heart, in which dwells the Great Life,
25 My body and soul, made whole by the truth,
My body that has not committed fornication,
My knees that bend down and kneel to Life,
My feet that walk on truth’s paths,
I perfected myself, and so I shall not fear.
30 I perfected myself, and shall not fear Earth.
I lifted my eyes on high,
And Life is praised!
In the name of the Great Life,
16. Shem in Truth begins teaching,
Shem in Truth starts saying,
“The Seven are my enemy,
‘Let’s keep him captive in our world,
5 Let’s keep him in Earth,
Let’s unleash sadness and resent upon him,
Let’s take him by means of our great secrets,
Let’s imprison him in the great prison,
Let’s unleash a great sickness upon him,
10 Let’s teach him our singing and joking,
Let’s put him in great pain,
Let’s release irritation against him,
Let’s trap him with our sinister snares,
Once the Seven had said this,
Translation | 47
so that he will stray from the borderline.”
the seducers of this world, had spoken,
Noah’s son, spoke to them, saying,
so that the fire may be your judge.
What you plotted against me won’t ever happen.
won’t ever wink so.
won’t listen to useless music.
won’t bring me any wicked music.
won’t kill anything on Earth.
won’t be corrupted by beryls and music.
won’t fall into the blazing fire.
won’t fall into the trap of the Seven.
won’t kneel to pagans, chapels, or idols.
won’t walk on the paths of treachery and deceit.
Life will remember you for good.
I have sought the everlasting abode.
and my soul looks to Life’s house.”
may the sublime light be magnified!
and instructing Shem, Noah’s son.
and the Twelve my affliction, and they say,
so that he will never see light’s place.
and he will never rise there, to the light.
so he forgets the man, his creator.
so he will not recognize his helpers.
so he will forget the sublime banners.
so he loses his lord from his memory.
so that he forgets his praying each time.
and the cares of this world.
so that he forgets his evening devotionals.
so that he never rises to the Mighty’s house.”
whose eyes will never see the light, [I said]

 16:15 – 17:9
15 “Neither shall I fall for your secrets,
Neither shall I listen to your names,
Neither shall I be detained in your abodes,
Neither shall I listen to your evil words,
Neither will your nuisances and tortures overwhelm me, nor shall I remove the sublime lessons.
20 Neither will your cares overwhelm me,
Neither shall I be held in your abodes and schemes,
Neither shall I forget the Great Life,
Neither shall I forget the hidden excellencies,
Neither shall I forget my ancestors’ praise,
25 Neither shall I forget the secret texts,
I shall never forget those prayers of mine,
to make me forget my lord.
Who would forget his own home,
Who would forget Life’s name,
30 and the devotionals he said and heard,
Who would forget the prayer
and dwell within a fleshy body,
When the Great Life wants me,
The body holds back its owner,
35 He will beat the heads of his servants.
reside at the head of his enclosure,
And Life triumphs!
In the name of the Great Life,
17. Truth’s Shem begins teaching
Shem in Truth starts saying,
“I am not a son of the house,
My tribe is not from the world,
5 The Seven raise me up again,
‘Strange man,
In the place in which the wicked abound,
If they unleash a great sickness upon you,
If the wicked confine you within their fortress,
Translation | 49
nor shall I stumble upon your obstacles,
nor will your blazing fires consume me.
nor shall I forget my helpers.
nor, out of my mind, shall I forget my lord.
nor shall I stop my evening devotionals.
nor shall I stop my prayers at any time.
nor shall I yearn for the mortal realm.
my brothers, nor shall I be held in seduction’s abode.
nor will your nuisances overwhelm me.
nor shall I yearn for useless music.
and I have blocked your plots
My name will not be something perishable.
and lust after the mortal realm?
the Great Life’s praise,
in exchange for the treachery of this world?
and his ancestors’ praise,
which is entirely filled with pain and flaws.
my double will rise to its settlement.
and his entire house is darkness.
I shall rise to the Great Life’s house,
and never forget my helpers.
may the sublime light be magnified!
and instructing Shem, Noah’s son.
nor is my double one of the mortals.
and the wicked will not injure me.
and say to me,
who has no master or mistress!
what are you doing all on your own?
who will be your healer?
who will be your savior?

10 If they set snares for you along your road,
Who will be your redeemer,
It is the house, whose lord has abandoned it,
Life has reckoned it among its numbers,
Now, you have fallen into the hands
15 You have been chained in our fortress,
You have been held in our grasp,
where neither will your helper come to you,
When Shem, Noah’s son, heard this,
“Life does not exist in light’s place,
20 Shelmey and Nedbey have risen,
The Daybreak has left me behind,
My baptisms are all for nothing,
My lessons and books are forgotten,
The secret watchers have abandoned me,
25 When Shem, Noah’s son, had said this,
The great creator went,
He broke open their penitentiaries,
He said to him,
“Why do you weep, Shem, Noah’s son?
30 What have the wicked done to you,
whom all excellencies love,
The chosen ones summon,
“What have the wicked done to you,
and you said, ‘There is no Life,
35 The Lord has abandoned the house,
Shelmey and Nedbey have risen,
My baptisms are forgotten,
My lessons and books are forgotten,
My prostrations are in vain,
40 Life has reckoned me among its numbers
Shem, who said you are captive here,
He whose name is written in the Great Life’s house
Everyone who seeks his helper
He will not go down to the wicked’s penitentiaries,
45 Remember us and summon us so we may seek you,
Translation | 51
who will be your redeemer?
and who will be your helper?
and whose architect has risen from it.
and all have risen to light’s place.
from which you will never fall again.
from which you will never be released.
and blocked by our work, in our fortress,
nor will the man, your creator, inquire for you.’”
his tears came to him and did not stop, and he says,
nor is Manda d’Heyyi there.
and Sunday has gone up on high.
and the excellencies that brought me here.
and my signs go unmentioned in my father’s house.
and my devotionals are useless.
and those who brought me here left me behind.”
the messenger, his creator, took off and came.
the savior whom Life had sent.
and made an opening in their fortress.
Like the twinkling of an eye I have come here!
and how have the sinners injured you,
for whom the realm of light is a helper?”
and instruct the man Shem, saying,
so that your heart became divided,
nor is Manda d’Heyyi in light’s place.
and its architect has risen from it.
and Sunday has gone up on high.
and my signs go unmentioned in my father’s house.
and my prayers for each time are held back.
and my evening devotionals are useless.
and completed its measures for all time.’
and the wicked bind you in their fortress?
will not be trapped in the sinners’ abode!
will not be caught in the clutches of wicked mortals.
the blazing fire will not consume him.
come to your side, and set you up in your settlement.

 17:46 – 18:30
The Seven who torture you are worthless,
And Life triumphs!
In the name of the Great Life,
18. A child was transplanted from on high,
The priests had dreams.
An utter silence fell upon the Eulaeus,
Early in the morning,
5 He opened his mouth for evil,
He opened his mouth for evil,
“I saw in my night visions,
I didn’t sleep, rest or lie down,
I didn’t sleep and I didn’t rest—
10 a fire rose, burning over elder
three lamps appeared,
A fire hung about the synagogue,
A sound rumbled on the chariot,
A shooting star burst over Judaea,
15 The sun appeared at night,
When the priests heard,
The priest Jacob cries,
Shiley and Shalbey
Eleazar opened his mouth,
20 “Who holds the Book of Dreams,
Who holds the Book of Dreams,
Eleazar opened his mouth,
“Jacob interprets dreams,
Benjamin interprets dreams,
25 Tabiomin will not reveal to us
All of a sudden, the earth murmurs,
The earth opens its mouth,
“Go to the place of Lilioch,
Eleazar opened his mouth,
30 “Who will go to Lilioch,
Translation | 53
but you will rise to the light.
may the sublime light be magnified!
a secret was revealed in Jerusalem.
an utter silence fell upon Jerusalem.
he went to the Temple.
and his lying lips.
saying to all the priests,
in my vision when I lay down—
and sleep did not overtake me in the night.
that a star came to Elizabeth,
father Zechariah,
the sun set and the lamps shined forth.
and smoke wreathed the Temple.
the Earth shook from its place.
a shooting star burst over Jerusalem.
and the moon shined forth during the day.”
they tossed dust on their heads.
and Benjamin’s tears flow.
toss dust on their heads.
speaking to all the priests,
and upon whom is the Book of Visions bestowed?
who interprets for you dreams you have seen?”
and speaks to all the priests, saying,
yet he does not understand them.
but he is not a man who will keep your secrets.
what you tell him to say there is or isn’t.”
and is revealed among the spheres of heaven.
and speaks to Eleazar, saying to him,
who will interpret for you the dreams you saw.”
speaking to all of the priests,
to interpret for you the dreams you saw?”

They wrote a letter,
Tabiomin took the letter
Lilioch sleeps upon his bed,
There was groaning in his heart,
35 Tabiomin went over to Lilioch’s side.
Rousing him from sleep, Tabiomin told him
“[An utter silence fell upon the Karun,]
Early in the morning,
He opened his mouth for evil,
40 He opened his mouth,
‘I saw in my night visions,
I didn’t sleep, rest or lie down,
I didn’t sleep and I didn’t rest—
a fire rose burning
45 three lamps appeared,
A fire hung about the synagogue,
A sound rumbled on the chariot,
A shooting star burst over Judaea,
The sun appeared in the night
50 When Lilioch heard so,
Lilioch stood up from his bed,
He opens and reads it,
He opens and reads it,
He writes them in a letter,

Woe to you, rabbis,
Woe to you, primary teachers,
Woe to you, Mistress Torah,
Johannes will take the Jordan,

“The star that came and rose over Elizabeth:
and he came and was given to Elizabeth.
The fire that burns upon elder father Zechariah:
Tabiomin took the letter
65 He went and found all the priests
He took the letter

I saw a star came upon Elizabeth,

the sun set and the lamps shined forth.

He said to them,
“Eleazar of the Great House, head of all the priests,
105 I do not know whom the lamps that go in front of me guard.
I do not know whose is the fire that came behind me.
Neither I, nor any of you, have made Elizabeth pregnant!”
All the priests started to chatter about elder father Zechariah, and said to him:
“Elder father Zechariah, be still and calm and certain,
110 that the child that from the upper heights was transplanted and given to you in your old age.
Johannes is born, will take the Jordan, and be called a prophet in Jerusalem.
We shall be baptized according to his rite, and we shall be marked with his pure sign.
We shall take the morsel, drink the spring-water,
and rise with it to light’s place.”
115 All the priests started to chatter about elder father Zechariah,
“Elder father, let’s talk to you about your home and your ancestors, from whom you came.
Moses, Amra’s son, was from your clan;
Shiley and Shelbey came from your clan;
Abraham and Israel came from your clan;
120 Ebney and Benjamin came from your clan;
Rishey and Rath came from your clan;
Rishey and Bazrey came from your clan;
Zackey and Zackuney came from your clan;
Ramesh and Mahramir came from your clan;
125 Rabin and Judah came from your clan;
the Great Ezra and Razey came from your clan;
The ones who built the Dome of the Priests,
and shaped the idols and images within it, they too came from your clan.
Hanney and Hananiah came from your clan.
130 Sab is from your clan. The man who wrote the Torah,
whose name is the Great Peacock— he came from your clan.
Ramah and Ishmael came from your clan;
Rab Hanney and Hananiah came from your clan;
Benerisa and Ishmael came from your clan;
135 Tabiomin and the teachers came from your clan.
The rulers who were your ancestors are blessed, elder father—
none of those ones took a wife, or had children except in their old age.
Each one who had sons, who became prophets in Jerusalem.

 18:149 – 19:19
If a prophet is coming from you,
140 since Johannes is destined to come into being,
Eleazar opened his mouth,
“Elder father, if Johannes comes into being,
I will be his humble servant,
and marked with his pure sign.
145 We shall take the morsel,
and rise with it to light’s place.”
The elder father opened his mouth,
“If the child comes from the upper heights,
They brought him from the Jordan’s reservoir,
150 And Life triumphs,
John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night,
19. I shine forth in the name of my father,
I delivered my soul from the world
The Seven question me,
They say,
5 “By whose strength do you stand,
I say to them,
“In my father’s strength I stand
I have built no house in Judaea,
I did not love the rose garland,
10 I have not loved defects,
I did not love physical sustenance,
I have not forgotten my evening devotionals,
I have not forgotten my baptism,
I have not forgotten Sunday,
15 I have not forgotten Shelmey and Nedbey,
They purify me and raise me up,
When John had said this,
The Seven greeted him,
and said these things to him,
Translation | 61
then you should take this clan as your own,
and be called a prophet in Jerusalem.”
and spoke to the elder father,
and takes the waters of the Jordan,
baptized with his rite,
drink the spring-water,
and said to all the priests,
then what will you do in Jerusalem?
and placed him in Elizabeth’s womb.”
and the man who went here triumphs!
Johannes in the evenings of the night.
and says,
and praise the man, my creator.
from the works that are evil and not right
the dead who have not seen Life.
and in whose praise do you teach?”
and in praise of the man, my transplanter.
and set no throne in Jerusalem.
nor intercourse with lovely women.
nor the intellect that drank wine.
nor has envy found any place with me.
nor have I forgotten the sublime Jordan.
nor have I forgotten my pure sign.
nor has the Daybreak condemned me.
whose domain is the house of Greatness.
and know that is no flaw or imperfection in me.”
Life was thoroughly pleased with him.
and the Twelve bowed before him,

20 “Out of all you said,
Your voice is pleasant and lovely,
Beautiful is your speech within your mouth
The mantle, which the First Life

25 the mantle, which the First Life

he has now given to you,
so you might rise, and it with you,
All those who are found without sin
30 All those who are not righteous
And Life triumphs!
John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night
In the name of the sublime, strange one!
20. The sun sat in its seclusion,
The four winds of the house
The sun opens his mouth,
“You have three halos,
5 You have a ship from the perfect,
You have the Greater Pəlugtā,
If you go to the Great [Life]’s house,
John opened his mouth,
“You have surely requested the halos,
10 This perfect ship
They formed Pəlugtā,
The king’s seal was placed upon her,
and goes to the place of dunghills.
She fights with her own spouse,
15 When her vows were completed and she left,
She was not worthy of Life’s house,
And Life is praised!
Translation | 63
John, you have not lied about anything.
and no one compares to you.
and precious is the word given to you.
gave to Adam, the first man,
gave to Ram, the man,
gave to Shorbey, the man,
gave to Shem, Noah’s son,

which travels here in the Jordan.
which goes here between the waters.
remember us before the Great [Life].”
and spoke to the sun in Jerusalem,
and the perfect guard your crown.
is Glory’s Pride.
which goes between the waters.
so she cavorts in your name,
she seeks her sons but does not find them.
she was not worthy of Life’s house.
and was not raised to the everlasting abode.

John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night
21. “Did I not go away alone and return?
and who teaches with my lessons,
When John said so,
Meryey and Elizabeth cry,
5 And they say,
“We shall go, and you will stay,
I shall go, and you will stay,
I shall go, and you will stay,
John opens his mouth,
10 “Who is there, to replace me on high?
Who is there, to replace me on high,
If you can ransom me,
If you can ransom me,
If you can ransom me,
15 Elizabeth opens her mouth
“Who is like you in Judaea,
so that if I saw him, I’d forget you?”
“Who is like me?
that you’d see me, and forget me?”
20 From my voice and the sound of my lessons,
From the sound of their refrains,
The adulterers forsake their adultery,
Brides come in their veils,
The child in its mother’s womb
25 Merchants do not trade in Judaea
The women of the sons of Israel
Brides do not adorn themselves with gold,
These women and men
At my voice and the sound of my lessons,
30 At my voice and the sound of my lessons,
At my voice and the sound of my lessons,
‘Blessed are you, indeed blessed are you, John
Translation | 65
Johannes in the evenings of the night
and says,
Which prophet is like me,
and who speaks with my sublime voice?”
two women cry:
and the tears of the two women flow.
see that you do not make us stumble.
see that you do not make me stumble.
see that you do not let grief take me.”
and says to Elizabeth in Jerusalem,
Who is there, to replace me in the Great’s house?
so that you can ransom me?
bring your gems and purchase me.
bring your pearls and purchase me.
bring your gold and purchase me.”
and speaks to John in Jerusalem,
and who is like you in Jerusalem,
Who is like me,
the Torah has become void in Jerusalem.
reciters do not recite in Jerusalem.
and women do not go out for tail.
and their tears reach the earth.
hears my voice and weeps.
and fishermen do not fish in Jerusalem.
do not wear colorful fabrics,
and ladies do not put on charms.
do not see their faces in the mirror.
water rises and stands in a pillar.
fish offered greetings.
winged birds prostrated in worship, and said,
and blessed is the man whom you worship.

 21:33 – 22:24
You were saved and you were set free, John,
Women did not seduce you into their adultery,
35 You did not forget censers, and incense
You did not become drunk with wine,
Infidelity did not snare you in Jerusalem.
and your throne has been set up for you in Life’s house.’”
And Life triumphs!
40 John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night,
22. He called out a proclamation to the world,
“You, who stand in wickedness,
You, who compound interest upon interest,
You, who sleep in fragrant wreaths,
5 You, who wear roses and silk,
You, who are lying down in flattery,
since the righteous elect’s children will rise up,
The ascensions will rise up,
The living baptism will rise up,
10 When John said this,
spoke to John in Jerusalem, saying,
“By Life, whom you worship, John,
Again, I ask that you swear, John,
Will the righteous elect’s children will rise up,
15 Will the ascensions rise up,
Will the living baptism rise up,
When Jacob, Benjamin,
John spoke to them in Jerusalem, saying,
“Once the priests are all slaughtered,
20 Muhammad the Arab will be born,
the son of the adopted son, Ishmael,
He will remove all tents,
He will remove stability and peace,
He will remove weddings,
Translation | 67
and naked you have left the world behind.
and their words did not panic you.
for your Lord did not leave your mind.
and you did no deeds of abomination.
You were saved and you were set free,
Johannes in the evenings of the night.
and said,
come, buy a path before you!
come, buy a path before you!
get up, and buy a path before you!
get up, and buy a path before you!
get up, and buy a path before you,
and Life’s voice will not approach the world!
but the pure turban will not be confirmed!
but the sublime sign will not be there!”
Jacob, Benjamin, and Meryey
I ask that you swear,
by the Daybreak whose name is dear,
and Life’s voice will not approach the world?
but the pure turban will not be confirmed?
but the sublime sign will not be there?”
and Meryey said this,
and are no more, the Israelites will be slain.
the adopted son, son of a foresaken son,
and be called the son of Aminah and Abdallah.
and mosques will increase in the world.
and deceit and sin will increase in the world
and invitations from Earth.

25 He will remove the faith,
No a single bell will ring on Earth,

They will hate adultery, but commit adultery,

Some of them shave their heads,
Some of them neglect their hair,
Some of them henna their beards,
When they see a man putting on a girdle,
35 They start questioning and say,
Tell us, who is your prophet,
Tell us, which is your book,
They neither know nor understand.
they neither know nor understand,
40 He is the one on high.”

but do not take a wicked girl as a wife.
lest the fire that blazes burns you.
the fire that blazes will burn her.
they give her empty arms.
she will have dead sons.
she will curse heaven and earth,

then you are still not purified, my brothers.
from the pits that women dig;
and all the pits will become foundations.
for a thousand millennia will not be closed up.”

25. Noble men, who are sleeping,
noble men, who are sleeping,
When the soul strips off the body
Corrupt world,
5 whose men will die,
where is Adam, the first man,
Where is Eve, his wife,
Where is Shitel, Adam’s son,
Where are Ram and Rud,
10 Where are Shorbey and Sharhabiel
Where is Shem, Noah’s son
All of them left and did not return,
looking like the good day
The planets are fattened cows,
15 The earthlings are fattened rams,
May there be mercy upon those who worship Life,
And Life triumphs!
26. The ages took no pleasure in me,
The age[s] took no pleasure in me,
[…]
They take the letter,
5 They open it, read inside it, and see
and is not what their souls desire.
They take the letter,
They say to him,
“Rab Johannes, take the true letter,
10 Johannes opens, reads, and sees
He opens and reads within it,
“This is what I wished for,
Johannes came forth from his body.
His brothers taught them
15 They took the letter and took it

who became the head of the generation here?
from whom the world was wakened to life?
from whom are worlds and generations?
from the age of the sword?
from the age of fire?
from the age of the flood, of water?
and watchers were set on Earth,
upon which ages and generations gaze.

as they stand in the markets and are sold.

Why do you weep, o ages?
Why does your glory diminish?
I went to the midst of the world.”

15 John teaches in the night, Johannes in the evening of the nights

John teaches in the night, and says,

28. “Lofty strongholds will fall, and houses that are raised will be destroyed.
Is there none to whom they say, ‘Have a nice day!’ who would not immediately say, ‘Go to Hell!’
in this world?”
Jews gathered, and went to John.
5 They said to him,

“We ask that you swear, John
We ask that you swear, John,
whose name is precious and great:
The one who lapses into adultery,
10 The one who lapses into theft,
Whoever sleeps with his friend’s wife,
Every man who lets one go and keeps one,
Every woman who commits adultery,
Everyone who goes to fortune-tellers,
15 and false astrologers
Everyone who drinks wine in a tavern,
and commits drunkenness and harm within it,
Everyone who goes to a songstress,
and sows an illegitimate seed,
20 and she gets pregnant by him, takes poison,
by the light king whom you worship.
by Sunday and the Daybreak,
with what will he be tried?
with what will he be judged?
with what will he be judged?
with what will he be judged?
with what will he be judged?
with what will he be judged?
with what will he be judged?

goes out to the marketplaces, and tosses it,

and the eyes of the child see its mother,
but the mother does not see the child, with what will he be judged?
Everyone who sleeps with his wife,
25 and does not wash himself with water, with what will he be judged?
A woman who does not wash with water, with what will she be judged?
Everyone who sleeps with his wife,
that first day when she washes away
uncleanness and menstruation, with what will he be judged?
30 Everyone who practices usury,

and charges interest on gold and silver, with what will he be judged?
Everyone who loves gold and silver, with what will he be judged?
Everyone who loves gold and silver, and does no good with it,
with what will he be judged?

Everyone who does disgusting deeds,
Everyone who dyes his hand and foot

40 Everyone who loves colorful fabrics and colors,
When the Jews said this,
“God forbid that the great and mighty light
Everyone who lapses into adultery,
Everyone who lapses into theft,

Everyone who sleeps with a widow

The woman who commits adultery

Everyone who goes to fortune-tellers,

55 Everyone who drinks wine
engaging in drums, revelry,
they should tear him apart with asphalt rakes,
Everyone who goes to a songstress
and she gets pregnant by him, takes poison,
60 and digs a hole and buries it,
and the eyes of the child see its mother
The child will die in the dung heap,
She will be interrogated in that penitentiary
She should be interrogated [in that penitentiary

 28:71 – 29:5
The man who sleeps with his wife,
uncleanliness and menstruation,
Everyone who practices usury,
They should raise him into the dark mountain.
75 Everyone who loves gold and silver,
should die twice instead of once,
Everyone who breathes in Life’s scent
should be interrogated in Abator’s house.
Everyone who does disgusting deeds,
80 Everyone who dyes his hands and feet,
He will hold the coals in his hand,
He will seek death but not die.
Life will not approach him,
nor relieve him from his suffering
85 He has not been condemned in sin’s abode,
Everyone who loves colorful fabrics and colors
They will cover him with gloomy shrouds,
Darkness goes out before him,
He will have demons beside him,
90 He will be bound in the penitentiary
To you I am speaking and explaining,
Do not do disgusting deeds,
The victorious Life speaks,
so that those who love them are not condemned,
In the name of the Great Life,
John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night,
29. “I shine with the name of my father,
in praise of the man, my creator.
I am delivered from Earth,
from the eye that winks,
5 Our Lord, see us, deliver us, and rescue us
Translation | 81
that first day when she washes away
they should raise him into clouds of darkness.
and charges interest on gold and silver,
and does no good within it,
and get cut off.
and does not mention Life’s name over it
will be taken by the Seven’s sword and blade.
and distorts the likeness his Lord ordained,
and he will kindle the flame with his lips.
and neither let him die,
to rise to see light’s place.
because of the baptism he received.
will be clothed in darkness.
and put blazing sandals on his feet.
and gloom comes after him.
because he loved colors and colorful fabrics
until his spirit becomes perfect.”
the souls of my righteous elect who testify to Life.
lest you sink to darkness’ place.
and the man who went here triumphs,
and Life triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified.
Johannes in the evening of the night,
and says,
I shine and enlighten,
from the mortal abode,
from the lips that speak deceit.
from hateful and improper deeds!

 30:14 – 30:49
If I have cut seed off from men,
15 If I have cut labor and pregnancy from women,
If I have undone the Sabbath,
If I have lied to Jews,
If I played different things with a trumpet,
As for you, baptize me with your rite,
20 If I become your disciple,
If I do not become your disciple,
John spoke, saying
“A deaf man will not become a scribe,
A ruined house will not prosper,
25 Putrid waters will not become pleasant,
Jesus Christ spoke, saying
“A deaf man will become a scribe,
A ruined house will prosper,
Putrid waters will become pleasant,
30 John spoke, saying
“If you can give an explanation of this to me,
Jesus Christ spoke to John in Jerusalem,
A mute person becomes a scribe:
grows up and becomes big,
35 Wages and rewards, he sets up,
A deaf person writes a letter:
He forsook adultery and forsook theft,
A ruined house prospers:
forsook his roots and passions,
40 By the sea, he built a house,
Whoever comes down, he brought him,
Whoever comes up, he brought him,
If he wants to eat,
If he seeks to drink,
45 If he wants to sleep,
If he wants to go,
He guides him on a path of Truth and faith,
A widow who becomes a bride:
grasped her skirts and settled down,
Translation | 85
then may I not pass the great Ocean.
then may a judge be established in my presence.
then may a burning fire consume me.
then may my path be through thistle and thorn.
then let my eyes not fall on Abator.
and pronounce over me the name you pronounce!
then I shall mention you in my epistle.
then erase my name from your scroll!”
to Jesus Christ in Jerusalem,
and a blind man will not write a letter.
and a widow will not become a bride.
and a stone will not get wet in oil.”
to John in Jerusalem,
and a blind man will write a letter.
and a widow will become a bride.
and a stone will get wet in oil.”
to Jesus Christ in Jerusalem,
then you are a wise messiah.”
and said,
an offspring that comes from a woman in labor,
and sets up wages and rewards.
and he rises to see light’s place.
A wicked man became a good man.
and believed in the Mighty Life.
A nobleman who became humbled
and built a house by the sea.
and he opened two doors in it.
opened the door for him, and welcomed him.
opened the door for him, and welcomed him.
then he sets him a dish in Truth.
then he mixes him a cup of juice.
then he spreads out a bed for him in Truth.
then he guides him on a path of Truth―
and he rises to see light’s place.
A woman who was a widow from her youth
until she raises her son.

 30:50 – 31:3
50 When she goes to a groom,
Putrid waters which become pleasant:
goes up to town and goes down from town
A stone gets wet in oil:
forsook sorceries and forsook witchcraft,
55 He found an orphan, an old man,
And you, John, baptize me with your rite,
If I become your disciple,
If I do not become your disciple,
You will be held responsible for your sin,
60 When Jesus Christ said this,
“John, baptize the deceiver in the Jordan!
Bring him down to the Jordan to baptize him,
Spirit took the form of a dove,
She made a cross in the Jordan,
65 and says,
“Jordan, you will make me holy,
The Jordan in which the Christ is baptized,
The morsel which the Christ takes,
The spring-water which Christ takes,
70 The turban which the Christ takes,
The staff which the Christ takes
Beware for me, my brothers,
Beware for me the Romans,
that they fix on the walls,
75 Beware for me, my brothers,
If a carpenter framed a god,
And Life is praised,
John teaches in the night,
John teaches in the night,
31. The spheres and the chariot trembled,
tears fell from Spirit’s eyes,
“John, you are like a parched mountain,
Translation | 87
she will not dishonor her late husband.
A prostitute, who becomes a lady,
and the veil is not removed from her face.
A pagan, who came down from the mountains,
and came to believe in the Mighty Life.
and filled the arms of a widow.
and pronounce over me the name you pronounce!
then I shall mention you in my epistle.
then erase my name from your scroll!”
and I shall be held responsible for mine.”
a letter came from Abator’s house,
bring him up to the bank to confirm him!”
and made a cross in the Jordan.
and lifted up the waters in every way,
and you make my seven sons holy!”
I have made into a blank of the font!
I have made into a blank of the Eucharist!
I have made into a blank of the Eucharist!
I have made into a blank of the priesthood!
I have made into a blank of the crozier!”
beware for me, my friends,
who are like offshoots of the cross
and begin to worship the crucifix.
the god framed by a carpenter!
then who framed the carpenter?
and Life triumphs!
Johannes in the evenings of the night
and says,
the sun and the moon wept,
and they said,
that does not bring forth a blossom on Earth.

 31:4 – 31:39
You are like a dried-up riverbed,
5 You are like a ruined house,
[You are] a land without a ruler,
You will be a wrongful prophet,
Who will prepare and provide for you, John?
When John had heard so,
10 in his eye, a tear formed,
“It would be pleasant to take a wife
but what if I take a wife and sleep comes,
and I spoil my nightly devotions?
What if, being enflamed with lust,
15 What if lust enflames me,
When John said so,
“John, take a wife and get established,
Monday morning and Tuesday morning―
Wednesday morning, and Tuesday morning―
20 Friday morning and Saturday morning―
Sunday morning and the Daybreak―
on Sunday take three,
take three and leave three,
They gave a wife to John,
25 From the first pregnancy
From the middle pregnancy
From the last pregnancy
These three pregnancies occurred
John opened his mouth,
30 “You will teach your daughters,
and I shall instruct and explain to my sons
Anhar opened her mouth
She says to him,
“I gave birth to sons on Earth―
35 If they become disciples,
If they do not become disciples,
John opened his mouth
“When I depart from Earth,
She says to him,
Translation | 89
in which plants are not planted.
which all who see it fear.
you are a house without form.
after whom none is left to mention his name.
Who will go after you to the graveyard?”
a tear formed in his eye―
and he says,
and precious to produce sons,
and lust enflames me,
I put my lord out of my mind?
and I spoil my devotionals all the time?”
a letter came from Abator’s house,
and see that you attend to Earth.
see to your marital bed!
undertake your sublime devotions!
see to your marital bed!
undertake your sublime devotions
and leave three,
and see that you attend to Earth.
from you, the people of the city of Truth!
were Handan and Steady.
were Behram and Lovelife.
were Plant, Sam, Splendid Anhar, and Steady.
within you, the ruins of Jerusalem.
and spoke to Anhar in Jerusalem,
lest they perish,
lest they are hindered.”
and spoke to John in Jerusalem.
I did not give birth to [their] heart on Earth.
they will rise to light’s place;
a burning fire will consume them.”
and said to Anhar in Jerusalem,
tell me, what will you do after me?”

Blessed is the day that you see me!

there would not be orphans in the world.
there would not be rabbis and teachers in the world.

 32:54 – 33:12
A child is coming to Judaea,
55 When the child saw the woman,
They disembarked down from the clouds,
Seeing this, Excellent Ennosh
“What is written to you, John,
to kiss a Jewish woman on her mouth?”
60 John speaks and says
“Nine months I dwelt in her womb,
It wasn’t hard for her, now it isn’t hard for me
Even so, let there be kindness upon kindness
The man who repays his father and mother,
65 When John said this,
Excellent Ennosh spoke
“I kept the child safe,
I kept the child safe,
Excellent Ennosh spoke
70 “I kept the child safe,
I kept the child safe,
The victorious Life speaks,
John preaches at night,
John preaches in the night,
33. At my voice, spheres shake,
the storm grows silent,
the sun and the moon weep,
Christ opened his mouth,
5 “I hereby ask you, John, by the Great Life
I hereby ask you, John, by the way
Tell me, the form of Sowriel’s knife,
When the soul leaves the body,
and what does it resemble
10 Is the soul therefore not like the blood
Is the soul therefore not like the wind,
Is the soul therefore not like the dew,
Translation | 97
and yet you divorce Elizabeth?

said to John in Jerusalem,
and explained to you in your scroll,
to Excellent Ennosh in Jerusalem,
just like all infants do,
to kiss a Jewish woman on her mouth.
to the man who repays his father and mother.
there is none like him in the world.”
Excellent Ennosh knew that John was wise.
to the sun in Jerusalem, saying
the man sent by an angel.
as long as we desired it.”
to the moon in Jerusalem, saying
the man sent by an angel.
so long as we desired it.”
and the man who went here triumphs!
Johannes in the evenings of the night.
and says, “Do I not stand alone?”
and chariots are overturned,
and settles down in the world’s wastelands,
and earth and heaven mourn.
and said to John in Jerusalem,
and Sunday, whose name is precious,
the righteous elect go, without being held back,
what does it look like?
tell me, with what is it dressed,
within the mortal body?
that warms the body and gets blocked within it?
which goes in the mountains, and gets blocked there?
which falls on the fruit and gets lost?”

When Christ said this, John cried out,

The soul is not like blood,
The soul is not like the dew,
The soul is not like the wind,
The soul is tightly wrapped
20 When the soul is yielded,
As for Sowriel’s knife,
When he hurries to take her away,
One he releases against them in the evening,
the third flame he releases against them
25 When the fire burns, the soul
From the feet and knees she slips,
She slips from the hip, and comes forth.
Then, she falls on the breasts,
The eyes, face and lips shrink,
30 Sowriel sits on her eyebrows.
“Leave, soul!
She says to him,
“If you would take me out of my body,
dress me, take me out, and bring me.”
35 He says to her,
“First bring me your works, and your labor,
She says to him,
“I did not know, Sowriel,
and you are quickly sending for me,
40 so you might bring forth my robe
He says to her,
“Has no one died before you,
She says to him,
“By the power of those dead before me,
45 The crying women and wailing men trembled,
When the soul leaves the body,
The crying women and wailing men trembled,
They laid down and buried the mortal body,
Translation | 99
tears come to him without ceasing,
forbid a share to the dregs!

She grabs onto the heart.

He says to her,
Why do you still guard the body?”
Sowriel, then show me my robe,
then I shall show you your clothes and clothe you.”
that my time is coming,
so I could do good works,
and clothe me within it.”

I opened the inner doors

My brothers taught lessons,
With the sound of their lessons,
I settled down and slept on my spot.

My brothers went and did not wake me,
20 You, my Truth sister,
saying,
“Get up! Get up, Meryey!
Before the day dawns,
Before the sun shines,
25 Before the priests and priests’ sons go out,
Before your physical father comes,
I, Meryey, conceal my petitions,
The day dawned early,
The sun shone on it early,
30 The priests and priests’ sons went out,
Then my physical father came,
and he says,
“Where did you come from, horny goat,
Where did you come from, bitch in heat,
35 Where did you come from, piece of sackcloth,
“If I am a horny goat,
If I am a bitch in heat,
If I am a fragment of sackcloth
then cut me from your robe!”
40 He says,
“Come see Meryey,
who has forsaken Judaism,
Come, see Meryey,
who has left colorful fabrics and colors,
45 She has forsaken gold and silver,
She has forsaken phylacteries,
Meryey said to him,
“God forbid I love whom I hate.
God forbid I should hate my lord,
50 In the world, he is my support,
Let there be dust in the mouth of the Jews,
Let there be dung beneath horses’ feet

The rooster crowed early,
and its splendor shone upon the worlds.
and sat in the shadow of Jerusalem’s ruin.
and heaped a disgrace on me that isn’t mine,
on whom the bars and bolts are not drawn?
whose pegs and leashes are not secure?
which is patched onto my robe?”
then I’ll tear down your bars and bolts!
then I’ll strike down the pegs and leashes!
that is patched on your robe,
and went to love her lord.
and went to love her lord.
and went to love her lord!
and went to love a man in a turban!”
God forbid I should hate whom I love.
Manda d’Heyyi, who is my support in the world.
and a helper in light’s place.
and ashes in the mouths of all the priests!
for the master of the mighty rulers of Jerusalem!”
and the man who went here triumphs!

In the name of the Great Life,
35. Meryey am I, a vine,
The tree’s leaves are sweets,
The vine’s fruit is splendor,
It spreads its scent among the trees
5 Birds smell it in the air.
Upon the tree a flock landed,
They shelter in it and do not keep still.
They eat what falls from its branches,
They eat what was not reprehensible,
10 While the birds sit in the vine,
They shook the good birds,
they made the vine’s leaves fall on all sides,
There were many birds who do not fly off,
and held on until the winds and storms pass.
15 There were those who did not hold firmly,
Woe to them that do not hold fast,
How lovely is Life’s tree,
The winds and storms pass over them,
As the birds sit and twitter,
20 so the birds can settle upon the vine,
A white [eagle] came to look, and saw the birds.
and came to sit upon the tree.
“By your life, eagle,
In this tree there are birds,
25 but winds broke loose upon them,
They shook them from the tree,
There were some who held fast.
There were some who flew off quickly.
We say to you, eagle,
30 since you are one that travels around,
Those birds, our brothers,
What will you take to them?”
He said to them,
Translation | 105
may the sublime light be magnified!
a tree standing at the mouth of the Euphrates.
and pearls are the tree’s fruit.
and its leaves are precious light.
and went out into all worlds.
A flock landed in the tree.
and they seek to build their nest there.
and from within it they drink juice.
and drink what was not fermented.
winds and storms broke loose.
they battered the tree,
and chased the birds away from their place.
but clung tightly with their claws and wings,
and some of their families went off.
but are dashed from the tree and flew away!
and how lovely are the birds within it!
and calm came over the world.
and seek to build nests upon it,
an eagle circles and flies around.
It circled and flapped its wings,
The birds spoke with it, and said to it,
so many to be without number,
and angry storms came to the tree.
until their wings are torn off.
The winds and storms didn’t uproot them.
we ask you about the birds,
so you have seen everything on Earth.
what have the winds and storms done to them?

70 We seek to kill them,
We shall make gallows for the man
There will be no day on Earth,
They will break open their dovecotes,
All the Jews gathered around,
75 They went and found Meryey
A white banner was spread over her,
She reads in the truthful books,
A staff of water is held in her hand,
Meryey prays in humility,
80 The fish assemble from the sea,
They come after Meryey’s voice,
They inhale the scent which is before her,
When they saw this,
Ashamed, they clenched their fists,
85 Meryey’s mother spoke,
and she says to her,
“Look at me, my daughter Meryey!
You are my daughter,
[your] head is the great head
90 Do you not recall, Meryey,
you opened it, and read it,
The outer keys were in your hands,
All the priests and sons of priests
If you wanted, he would open the door,
95 A thousand would stand up,
They would submit to you like a castrated slave,
Why have you forgotten your brothers,
See, the brides are weeping in Judaea,
They are removing their precious gold,
100 They say,
‘We shall not destroy our possessions,
We shall crush gold with weights,
We will stand upon the rooftops,
We will make vows to you,
105 My daughter! Get up and come back
Translation | 109

a throne was set for her at the Euphrates’ mouth.
and a scroll was spread across her lap.
and she stirs up all worlds.
a girdle is fastened around her waist.

Look at me, I am your mother!

Come, light the lamps
Do not wish for this man,
The man who is not from your town,
lest he say, ‘I went
110 Come, teach the children,
From the moment and day you hung it up,
Shake it off, put it in your bosom,
When Meryey heard this from her mother,
and she says to her,
115 “Are Jews not
Are Jews not
They shall be buried in darkness.”
She says to them,
“Go away! Go away, disgusting fools,
120 I am not a woman to chase tail,
I did not leave to return to you,
Go away! Go away from before me,
You claimed adultery and theft against me,
Blessed is the man who freed me
125 I did not commit adultery with him,
The testimony you testified concerning me,
While the priests rose up and spoke
There came a pure eagle,
He flew over the Jews,
130 and lowered them to the water’s bottom,
He sank them deeper than the devouring (waters),
and sank their ships
He destroyed the Temple,
He rained destruction upon them,
135 He came down to her,
sat by her and spoke to her,
He reached out and strongly embraced her,
He says to her,
“Meryey, consider me good,
140 I am your good helper,
I ask of you the lofty truth,
Translation | 111

leave him behind in the world,
and brought Meryey from her place.’
open it up and put it [in your bosom].
the dust has been its cover.
and let us hear your voice as it was.”
she laughed and rejoiced in her mind,
shameful, worthless vessels?
those who stand and bow to a vault?
you are not from the world.
and it is not that I love a man.
and see you, wicked skullcaps.
who gave false witness against me!
and made as if I were your equal.
from my chains, and planted my feet here!
and I did not commit theft in the world.

to Meryey at the mouth of the Euphrates,
whose wings are world-filling.
and flapping his wings he tied them up,
deeper than its stinking scum.
within the still waters,
to the bottom of the devouring water.
and set fire to Jerusalem.
and killed my disciples in Jerusalem.
he flapped his wings,
and taught her, and loved truth from her.
straightened her out, and put her on the throne.
and mention me before Life.
the man who heard your word.
the truth that the Jordans enlighten.”

One confronts his partner,
25 “Sell your own fish, they are rotten,
You caught it in the deep sea,
The fisher says and makes himself heard,
“Damn you, and damn your bell,
You were the one who didn’t bring salt
30 so that your fish don’t stink in your casket,
Then you haven’t brought any flour or dates,
When you come empty-handed,
Scram! Get lost, you crook
and does business with your broken scales,
35 for your crooked transaction,
Your trade bustles here,
You will complain in oblivion,
When the master of the fishermen,
and the prince of all trappers heard this,
40 “Come, bring me a lyre,
to wake up the fish of the deep,
that is a torment to the fish!
I shall grab the great shoebill,
I will take it from him,
45 The lyre is durable,
The fishers who heard the sound,
One cries to his associate,
because of the sound of the fisher,
Neither does his voice resemble a fisher’s,
50 and neither does his voice resemble our voice,
While the fishers stood in their blinds,
The fisher swiftly overwhelmed them,
and surrounded them in the marsh pools.
They say to him,
55 “Cast us from our fetters,
We shall not catch those
When the fishers said so to me,
I tied up their merchant,
I bound them in palm-fiber cords,
Translation | 115
and says to the fisher,
and nobody is buying from me!
so that the loss fell upon its buyer!”
making the man, his buyer, listen:
and damn your worthless vessel!
and put it on your fish that you buy,
and yet you sell them for a great price!
and you haven’t brought any salt or thyme!
no one of good virtue will join you.
who won’t buy from us,
which you hold and support with your elbow
and take ten for the price of five.
but it will be as if it never existed.
but those whom you do not mention fairly will rejoice.”
the leader of the living generation,
he said to the helmsman,
so I can make a sound in the marsh
and set to flight the crafty bird
and break off his wing on the spot!
and I will dust inside my lyre!
because water does not mix with pitch.”
their legs turned to jelly.
and says “Go to your blind,
the fisher who does not trap fish!
nor does his lyre resemble our lyre,
nor does his speech resemble this world’s!”
the fishers did not take care to start thinking.
tossed out his net that extended over them,
He bound them with knots.
so that your fish do not leap into our vessels!
who mention your name!”
I struck them with an iron mace.
a robber who doesn’t claim what they give him.
and ruined their ships for the water.

 36:96 – 37:25
I shall take them and rise up,
The fate of scum and filth
The day of light shall rise,
I and my disciples shall rise,
100 Life speaks and wins,
In the name of the Great Life,
37. A fisher am I, of the Great Life,
A fisher am I, of the Great Life,
He says to me,
“Go, catch fish that do not eat filth,
5 nor smell jimson weed.
They approach neither chum,
Life tied a ring for me,
a vessel whose bright sail flutters
The vessel is a seed,
10 Its cables are splendid cables,
Sunday takes the punt pole,
They travel with them to the settlements,
They set up thrones in them,
Upon the prow are placed lanterns,
15 All the vessels that see me
They bow down, and worship me,
On the prow stands the fisher,
Near him are lanterns, the wicks of which
There is no stench, he has nothing false,
20 He summons the fish and tells them,
“Beware for me in the world!
on account of the crafty birds
If you beware for me, my brothers,
a helper for you and a support,
25 The victorious Life speaks,
Translation | 119
and you, the Seven, will stay here.
will be your fate.
and the darkness shall return to its place.
and we shall see light’s place.
and the man who went here triumphss!
may the sublime light be magnified!
a fisher am I, of the Mighty Life.
a messenger that Life has sent.
fish that neither eat horsebane
nor necklaces of marsh nets.”
and built an indestructible vessel for me,
and flaps, but is not pulled off.
and it travels through the heart of the heavens.
and its tiller is one in which there is truth.
and Life’s Son took the tiller.
and divide the light with the excellencies.
and the Jordans came outspread.
which are not extinguished by adverse winds.
bow down and worship me.
and they come to me abasing themselves.
teaching sublime lessons.
do not move around in a commotion.
and he is clothed in white garments.
Beware for me for yourselves,
that are among you!
I shall undertake to be a helper,
from the place of darkness to that of light.”
and the man who went here triumphs!

5 “You are a lucky fisher,
You have not seen the seafood,
You are a measured support,
You will be our key shareholder,
Give us a share in your vessel,
10 Come, take a share from us,
You will give us a share,
[We will give you] from what we have,
and wear black just like we do,
that the fish do not see your reflection,
15 If you listen, you’ll catch fish,
If you don’t listen to our shareholders,
If you do what we ourselves do,
You will make porridge and fill up cups,
and we shall make you leader of us all!
20 The principals will come
They will be your humble servants,
Our father will be your servant,
Our mother will sit with your handmaiden
She will come and be your maidservant,
25 She will divvy up the rocks,
The netting greatly sighed,
She will divide the water with the cord
They will not know the way that they’re going,
Like walls that fall apart,
30 The fish neither leave to rise up,
They sink them down beneath the scum,
They carry them off in droves,
She has a fishing weir,
against the bundles of the weir.
35 They have set up a lattice
Translation | 121
may the sublime light be magnified!
and set on his shoulder an axe
and there is no rust on the axe.
they would come and gather around him.
who has not caught the fish of the marsh!
the food they gather within them.
and we shall enroll you among the fishers!
and you will take a share like ours!
and you will take a share in our vessel!
and give us a share in your vessel!
and we will give you a share!
so join your ship with our ship,
so when you lift up your lamp, you’ll find
and your vessel will bring in the fish.
you’ll throw them in your boat, and do business.
you will eat salt.
you will eat oil and date syrup.
and distribute them to all the fishermen,
They will gather by your side, leader of us all!
to be behind you.
and you will take a portion of what we have.
and we shall be called obedient to you.
and tie dragnets.
and tie cords of every sort for you.
and throw the lead (weights) in the netting.
that it is heavier than the world!
when the fish come, and they will be caught
and not know how to return back to their way.
they come and fall upon the good.
nor turn around to face the embankment.
and restrain them along with a circlet.
and beat them back from its crown.
which the fish enter and get held back,
between the two wheels.

They have set up seines
the bait that offers a meal of death.
Woe to the fish whom they dazzle,
Wise are the fish who recognize them,
40 The snares, the gillnets, and the seines
which only one out of a thousand will see,
They seized it, took it, and hung a bell
that will captivate all the worlds.
so that the jimsonweed overwhelms
45 Woe to the fish who enter them!”
When the fisher heard this,
The fisher gave the boats
The fishers floated on the marshes,
The cane strikes and splatters,
50 upon the muttering fishermen.
The whirlpool whirled in the marsh water.
He spoke with his sublime voice.
“You are before me, shameful fishers,
go, go and catch
55 Keep back, get down, leave your group,
I am not a fisher who catches fish,
They will not be caught with a hook of chum,
They will not block up gillnets
They will not go down from water’s surface,
60 and they will not share the water
If the fishers throw a net upon them,
There will never be a day on Earth,
There will never be a day on Earth,
Damn you crafty birds,
65 Woe to your father the shoebill,
Woe to you, starving kingfisher,
Woe to you, stinking pelican,
They cry out and weep with bitterness
Woe to you, pied crow,
70 Blessed is the one who is saved
Blessed is the one who is saved
Translation | 123

whose eyes do not see the light!
they will pass by all the baits,
are a lair for them there,
and only one out of two thousand will see twice.
over its entrance, a bell forged with evil,
There, the waters commingle,
and the deadly arsenic intoxicates.
he gave the prow a good kicking.
of the fishers a good kicking.
clinging together like mice, and not getting up.
and the fish of the sea land
He spoke, shrieking at the top of his voice.
He said to the fishers,
poison-making fishers,
your own stinking fish.
and go to the end of the line.
and my fish are discerning.
a bait which my fish do not eat.
in submerged nets or a deceptive lantern.
and they will not enter the deceptive weir,
that seeks to fall upon the youth.
they will break through the net and escape.
in which fish fish fishers.
in which the dove loves the crow.
and damn your worthless kind!
whose lair will be in the reeds!
whose wings will never dry on Earth!
who will see the fish and sigh.
when they strike at the fish but do not catch it.
who takes fish from the depths.
from your talons, the talons that seize fish!
from the men who watch Earth!

Go, Seven, go
Water will not mix with pitch,
An associate of the righteous
75 A good man keeps good company,
and neither will your boat join my boat,
Such is the head of you all,
Such is your savage father,
As for your mother, who ties nets
80 I struck her with a staff of water,
I shall guide my friends,
and pass them over every tax collector.
I shall pass them over the den of inquity,
I shall pull them away from the fish eaters,
85 I and my true friends
He will lift them up in thrones
The Seven were defeated,
The man of proven righteousness won,
The triumphant Life speaks,
90 In the name of the Great Life,
39. It is the pure fisher’s voice,
and it tells the fish of the seas,
“Set the group aright,
so that your strength may double.
5 Beware for me the fishers of fish,
Shelmey and Nedbey curse them,
and fish curse their nets,
As the fisher said this,
the fishers who heard his voice.
10 They begin to question him,
They say to him,
“Where were you, fisher,
and whose vessel is not like our vessels,
Your vessel is not sealed with pitch,
Translation | 125
be part of your houses!
and light will not be counted with darkness.
will never be called an associate of yours.
and a bad man keeps bad company,
nor will your seal be set on my seal.
so you will be food for him!
trapped in the black water!
and the twin heavy wheels,
and split her head down the middle.
set them up in my ship,
the place where fish are caught.
and you will perish in your settlements.
shall dwell in the settlement of Life.
beneath stainless banners.”
and the stranger remained victorious.
and he led his entire nation to victory.
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
which calls and teaches in the marshes,
rise up to the surface of the water,
the fishers who look over the Jordan.
so go back and stay a league behind me,
so revile them in their places.”
he admonished all of them,
They come and gather near him.
not knowing whence he came.
whose voice we do not hear in the marsh,
and she has not accompanied you among (us)?
and you are not like this world’s fishers.”

15 Seeing him, the fishers blush,
The fishers say to him,
“For what reason do you fish but not catch?
It shines like the sun in the night.
Your vessel is perfect in the air,
20 Our vessel goes by water,
The reeds of our marsh,
within them is an empty acre,
Your purifier, fisher, is the type
We never see fishers that resemble you,
25 The fisher steered the sail-yard
There is no cable in your cast net,
It has no rocks that will be
whom your cord has taken in its snare,
and you have not brought a fisher’s tools,
30 Your cord does not lie still in the water,
When the fishers said this,
“My fishing brothers and sons,
Flee, get out, go up to your town,
Ask your father, who knows me, about me!
35 Tell her, ‘There is one fisher in the vessel,
and standing within it is a sail-yard,
They will destroy the land of Jerusalem.”
When they heard and recognized
“Pity us, have mercy and be compassionate!
40 We are your servants,
We shall take care of your fish,
We shall be the servants of your disciples,
We shall stand by and take care
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
40. From beyond, an excellency preaches,
She says to him,
Translation | 127
become ashamed, and stand in their places.
Your ship is not like our ship;
and sublime banners are unfurled on it.
but your vessel moves between the waters.
which rustle together and break,
in which there are no cisterns or fountains.
that fish see and flee far away.
in whose vessel the wind dwells.
and the tiller that brings light to the marshes.
and no draw-string encircles it.
an artifice for the fish of the marsh pools
and you have neither cudgel nor axe,
you have neither chum nor poisons.
and it is not submerged to snatch fish.”
the fisher spoke, saying to them:
get out of my sight!
the ruin of Jerusalem!
Ask your mother, who is my maidservant, about me!
he has the four winds as a tiller,
a scourge of afflictions and liberations.
the fisher who went there, they say to him,
May you forgive our sins and debts!
may you be lenient with us!
so not even one will be taken from them.
who mention your name in good faith.
of all who mention your name.”
and the man who went here triumphs!
and in the name of the precious Truth.
and Spirit answers him from darkness’ gates.

“Let me warn you, my brothers,
Let me warn you, my brothers,
As soon as their mouths open, they will die,
10 they will be held to account for their souls,
There, they will have to pass a test.”
He says to them,
“Bring me their teachers, who demand much
Bring me their scholars, who teach them,
15 There, he judges father and son, teacher
There, he judges mother and daughter-in-law,
All cases will be judged,

20 The triumphant Life speaks,

A man who understands himself
Blessed are you righteous servants,
Shame on you, wicked heart,

and its thought is full of wrath,
The guts that jealousy loosens
The mouth that opens to curse
Those who raise their hands to strike
10 Shame on you, big belly,
You men who give rewards,
‘If you give, then do not report it!
If you give with your right hand,
Shame on the wise man,
15 Shame on the builder,
Shame on the pathmaker,
and he will not rise up to see light’s place.”
The triumphant Life speaks,

and stoke the coals with their hands,
Shame on the wicked heart,

Blessings on whoever has done good;
Shame on whoever has had a bounty,
He has committed sins for himself,
Blessings on whoever has had good,

His works go before him,
Your hands perform the truth,
And Life triumphs!
46. From light’s place, I left,

The staff he held in his hand
5 He gave me some of its leaves,
Once again, he gave me some of it,

“Shame, shame!” calls whoever has done evil.

so rise up and see light’s place!

my sick heart found recovery.

For the third time, he gave me some of it,
Within my head, he fixed my eyes,
I saw my father, I saw him,
10 I asked him for a great heart,
I asked him for calmness,
I asked him for a level path,
The triumphant Life speaks,
47. From light’s place, I left,
I was dressed in resplendent robes,
I arrived and found the Nazoreans,
I set up my throne and sat down,
5 The good man sits and teaches his sons
My sons!
See that you do not commit adultery;
those who commit stealing and adultery
They will not rise to Life’s house;
10 My sons!
See that you perform no magic,
Magicians and liars will be tossed in cauldrons
My sons!
See you do not shift boundaries.
15 those who shift boundaries,
My sons!
See you do not deliver
nor deliver the weak to the strong,
In the customs house, his eye will see only darkness,
20 My sons!
See that you do not take
and thus bring up your sons
If the servant sins one day,
the sins committed by the servant
25 My sons!
See that you are not informers
since informers and snitches
Translation | 137
and he fixed my eyes in my head.
and I saw my father and knew him.
and I gave him three requests.
which can be carried by the big and the little.
in which there is no rebellion.
to rise to light’s place in peace.
and the man who went here triumphs!
from you, everlasting abode!
and a victory wreath was placed around my head.
standing on the banks of the Jordan.
like a father sitting amidst his sons.
all the truth, in which there is no error.
see that you do not commit theft;
will not rise to Life’s house.
they will not look upon light’s place.
and oppress the soul in the body.
that seethe, and fire will be their judge.
The day that you displace the great marker,
their eyes will not see the light.
a servant to his master or a maid to her mistress,
to be bound in a remote place.
and his foot will find no solid ground.
a maid who has not been not set free,
in her master’s house.
on the day that his master judges him,
will come upon the head of his father.
and that your eyes give no hints,
will be assigned to the penitentiaries.

To the penitentiary, they will be assigned,
My sons!
30 See that you do not practice
lest you be judged in the dark mountain.
My sons!
See that you do not worship
the Olympians, the paganism,
35 because the idols and devils
and those who worship them
They will not rise to Life’s house,
See what I have commanded you, and surely
On account of a false and deceitful witness,
40 They will be interrogated before the judge
He judges every person
My sons!
Whatever is disgusting to you,
since the world to which you have gone
45 It has judgment and a great reckoning,

since all who are laden will rise,
Shame on the empty-handed one,
When it was in his possession, and he gave not.
50 They will cast the wicked and liars in darkness.
In the blazing fire they will throw him,
I showed it to his eye, and he saw not.
And Life triumphs,
In the name of the Great Life,
48. Truth! I testify to you,
Upon you I let my eyes look, good man,
Tell my heart, so it may rest.
Tell their minds,
5 Tell the watcher of the sea,
Tell the watcher of the rivers,
Translation | 139

idols and devils,
and the impiety of this world,
a harsh judgment will be upon them,
will not rise to Life’s house.
and they will not look upon light’s place.
do not bear a false and deceitful witness.
they will be interrogated before the judge.

in which safeguarded intellects
those who are empty-handed will be cut off.
who will stand empty-handed at the tollhouse.
He searched there in his lap, and he found not.
They will throw him into the blazing fire.
in whose ear they called, and he listened not.
I showed him, and he didn’t see with his eye.
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
as a man who seeks knowledge.
the elect whom Life has moved here.
Speak to my guts, so they may be turned.
so they may be fixed, and stick to their places.
to save me a crossing over the sea.
to stretch a cable for me over the rivers.

 48:7 – 49:21
Tell the one who paves the mountains,
Tell the artisan,
“Desire will thrash your head!”
10 Tell the body-builder,
Hastily build your building,
since this world will come to nought,
Precious gold will be lost,
Their hearts’ delight will be torn out,
15 The king will abandon his crown,
The perfect will rise to the light,
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
49. Way beyond, beside Truth’s barrier,
a plow that is no (mere) ox-plow
The plow is Truth’s plow,
Sunday holds the plow,
5 These outstanding men sow and scatter gems;
The good sow and scatter blessings;
For ages, they have brought out and threshed,
Over them, they set watchers, sublime,
I say to them,
10 “Watchers, who have watched for an age,
closely watch over your gates and paths,
Now Truth comes and goes,
he takes a fan in his hand,
Those zealous ones who are worthy,
15 and once more those who are worthy,
Those who are unworthy,
from their folds they will fall,
Your souls are redeemed and saved,
Perfect men and
20 saved from the mouth of this stud,
The triumphant Life speaks,
Translation | 141
to pave me a way over the mountains.
who crafts works of art and images,
“Build your building with haste!
because you will have to leave it shortly,
and its works will fall apart!”
and silver will be sought but not found.
and their useless singing will go.
and the nobility will go into captivity.
but the wicked will be detained here.
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
there stands a plow plowing,
and that has not been revealed by my clan.
which sows wages and rewards.
and Life’s Son holds the seeds.
they scatter and toss pearls.
they have brought out and threshed for ages.
and set watchers over them.
blessed, and completely confirmed.
watch closely over your gates;
so you may take your gate in peace.”
like a fan of living water,
and they seek out the good in them.
roadside misfortunes will drop [from them],
distressful scandals will drop [from them].
they will fall from their folds;
and approach the mouth of the stud.
my good brothers, and my sisters who are faithful.
perfect women will be saved,
whose name is Ur, the Lord of Darkness.
and the man who went here triumphs!

50. He deals in wages and rewards
Shame on the rulers who rule
they will fall into a blazing fire.
With their hands, they will stoke the coals,
5 Those who acquire to leave to their children,
They will go and boil in the fire,
Shame on the foolish fools,
Shame on the students whom they teach,
they will be settled in darkness.
10 Shame on the masters,
Shame on the forked tongue,
Shame on the evil heart,
Wickedness governs within it,
Shame on the wrathful one,
15 Shame on the builder,
For himself, he has built nothing,
Shame on the pathmaker,
on which he walks and does not slip.
Shame on him who gives good advice,
20 Shame on him who had blessings,
He will search in his lap and find nothing,
He will surely end on the End’s great day.
The one who hides his eyes with his own hand,
The one who destroys his own way with his horn,
25 I tell and explain to you,
who will go to Life’s house,
My chosen ones!
See this world will surely perish,
Its works will come apart,
30 Precious gold will be lost,
The shadow of deception
It will disappear like the scents
My perfect ones!
Days, months, hours, and minutes will finish,
35 The whole world will end and come to nought,
Translation | 143

over the forsaken and do no good works;
and with their lips they will kindle the flames.
they will go to boil in the fire.
and their pride will be kept from them.
who are stubborn in their folly!
and they don’t learn true wisdom;
who seek from them but give not.
which gives two different decisions to the same case.
within which wickedness rules!
it will surely end on the End’s great day.
who is filled with Satan’s wrath.
who has built no building for himself.
on which he goes and is upheld.
who has blazed no path for himself,
but has not given himself any advice.
but did not give benefits from his blessings.
since he had it in his hand and gave not.
who should serve as a healer for him?
who should serve as a builder for you?
the chosen who live in the world,
and then return to the abode of darkness?
and its works will succumb to destruction.
and not draw near again.
and silver will be sought but not found.
and the service of the world will vanish.
and the things of this world.
and it will be as if they never existed.
it will be as if never existed.

60 “Did you not know, Yurba,
Did you not know, Yurba,
Did you not know, Yurba,

and lifted you into gloomy darkness?

“Stay put and wait in the house,
As Yurba drove out in his chariot,
80 He grew afraid and said, “I wanted to do good
Lying Spirit came along,
She took it from him,
Then he was full of wickedness,
until the final day, on which
85 All the demons will fall into the darkness
And Life triumphs!

and they gave him entirely to the moon,
He called him, equipped him, and thoroughly ordered him.

and made him listen in deepest darkness,
that my wrath is upon you?
that I have lifted you up into the gloomy darkness?
that I let loose a punch and a wrath against you,
when I put an evil curse upon you,
Into gloomy darkness I have lifted you,
the planets, and the twelve constellations,
and could do nothing against my powers.
that I came here in the twinkling of an eye?
you only shine in the world because of me?
I gave my sons your strength and mindfulness?
I can make your likeness darken and tremble?”
and said to Splendid Hibel,
then may torture and lashing be raised against me,
and the secret place from which you came,
I have not sinned against your children.

 53:6 – 53:41
Whenever the sun’s splendor disappears,
Whenever a man lies with his wife
and your witness will be inside
You must enlighten her face,
10 and from those images that are improper,
since the sown race of the house
You must shine and enlighten,
Then he spoke to the man
“One day per month, I shall disappear,
15 [rolled up] is my shining light,
When I am not there,
as they receive on that day,
and disgusting appearances
When they receive on that day,
20 without hands and feet
The planets will disturb the seed
The Man who had clad him
“Those who come into being on those days,
They are neither counted among our number
25 It is thoroughly a race of darkness;
He summoned, ordered, and prepared me,
He says to me,
“Take care of the congregation of souls
He bowed down, walked away from me,
30 He went down to the penitentiaries;
to complete the calculation fully.
On the day that he is withdrawn from Earth,
for the mistakes he sets against the disciples,
He shows him panic, fear,
35 and panic-stricken and darkened,
When he comes forth from the penitentiary,
His color will be drawn from him,

Completely taken away will be
Now their appearance will be despicable,
Before their souls howl,

We bore witness to you,
Now your appearance is despicable,
The planets had no explanation to give
The planets, their worshippers, and their souls,

They will fall to the great serpent,
From that day,
and the souls of our good brothers,
The souls of the faithful and sincere

In the name of the Great Life,

A town that is a town of evil,
A town of sinners,

How displeasing and unpleasant it was for me,
As I arrived in Jerusalem City,

“Who among Life’s offspring came here?
Come, write a false and unlawful book
Then Spirit and Mercury made a decree,
They wrote the Torah, arranged it,
20 Through his feats, Adunay summoned him,
He settled him there for forty days,
To food and drink, he shut his mouth,
to captivate ages and generations.
My chosen ones!
25 I shall tell you about the Jews,
It did not come from the light!
If their book had been from light,
My chosen ones!
I shall tell you about Arabs,
30 From the Torah, their book was taken,
They practice circumcision, like Jews,
not knowing that they are Jews.
Spirit has confused them,
Each one blames his companion,
35 My chosen ones!
From the day Jerusalem was built,
I was unable to dwell
My garb was not of the flesh,
I arose and stood,
40 and I say,
“Blessed is he, and again blessed is he
Whoever takes care of himself,
I say,
“How troubled I am, about my disciples

Anyone who, in the demon Bezbat’s year,

Everyone who calls Manda d’Heyyi to himself,
My chosen ones,

because the First Age
the Second Age
the Third Age
the Fourth Age is one
65 This is the secret teaching
Everyone who hears and heeds it—
Everyone who neither hears nor heeds it—
Hear and heed, my chosen ones,
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
55. “How can I rejoice?
How can my heart rejoice
How long shall I go, and how shall I sink
How long shall I enlighten the excellencies,

How can I rejoice at the things
How long can I calm my heart,

How long can I empower the excellencies,
How long can I hold down demons,
10 Who among you will save me,
How long can I bear the things
How long am I to reject Sunday,
How long am I to reject this world?
that are lacking in the customs house?
15 and bring them to the yoke?
How long am I to reap and sow,
How long am I to triumph over evil,
How long will the scales remain light,
How long am I to beat the sun,
20 How long am I to free the righteous elect
How long am I to strike out penitentiaries,
How long am I to put him,
to put him into the seething cauldron?
How long will the land accept seed,
25 How long will the ships go down
How long am I to measure living water
How long must the excellencies dwell
How long will it become dark and bright
How long am I to hang on my net,
30 How long am I to beat the mountains,
How long am I to place chains and ropes,
How long am I to strike, kill, and triumph,
How long am I to make trouble for them,
When will the quarrel be resolved,
35 When will Earth come to nought,
When Splendid Hibel said this,
“How long will you stumble, Splendid Hibel,
Out of all the deeds
what is there, upon your shoulders?
40 When Splendid Hibel heard so,
and opened his mouth in sincerity,
“Upon whose shoulders should Earth,
To whom among the excellencies shall I give
Translation | 161
and bring word to the mighty in the world?
and how long can I slay the rebellious?
from Abator on high?
being done to me personally?
to drive him away,
How long am I to bring the power and truth,
How long am I hold down the studs,
How long am I to plow and sow seed in the world?
and how long am I to divide the mortals?
and cast fools into cauldrons to boil?
and how long will Abator judge in this world?
and condemn him in this world?
who are living in this world?
and the Moon within them?
month by month,
and yield fruit in the world?
and up to light’s place?
and pour it into still water?
and endure pollution and wickedness?
and how long am I to give pearls to mortals?
and raise up the poor and persecuted?
and clothe mortals in darkness?
on adulterers and thieves of the world?
over the wicked and liars living in the world?
and how long will they kill each other?
and when will my heart be healed?
so that I may hide my fishing net from the world?”
Manda d’Heyyi spoke to him, saying:
and be persecuted in this world?
that wicked people have done,
he sprang up from his throne, stood,
saying to Manda d’Heyyi:
which I created, fall?
the things I created and ordered?

 55:44 – 55:79
When I created Adam and Eve his wife,
45 and there was her departure,
I set up the houses of detention,
I appointed the tax collectors
I have levelled a road from darkness
I have raised witnesses
50 I brought Abator,
I assigned him the scales,
I called the [un]fathomable river into being,
I called into being Adatan and Yadatan,
and took them as scribes.
55 I called into being the white fruit,
They blossom out of it,
I called into being streams of water,
I called into being in it a path,

When he was engaged in plotting,
When we saw him,
“You are our great father and the first one,
Your movements are in Life’s house,
50 They call you the arranger of ordinances,
I gave him light and clarity,
We sally forth and move on,
When we arrived at Abator’s house,
Abator sprung up, rose from his throne,
55 To Life he made a petition,
The three excellencies said to him,
that truth is in this man,
He is dressed in the garb of splendor,
Our father weighs with the scales,
60 Then I appointed Abator,
and over the souls that rise
and over the goodwill and praise
I posted him over the Seven and the Twelve,
We said to him,
65 “Why do you fail, Abator,
Why do you fail, Abator,
Why do you fail, Abator,
he being roused by you?
Now it is perversity and wickedness
70 the souls suffer from their faults
The one who stands firmly will rise
he will rise to light’s place.
The one who does not stand firmly,
I have concealed Abator from the Seven
75 I gave him light and clarity.
We confirmed his deeds,
We sally forth and move on,
When we arrived at Excellent Ptahil,
and says,
80 “If it pleases my father, Manda d’Heyyi,
that they lift the clouds of darkness for me.
Translation | 175
he left through the gate of his shell.
we address to him,
and your splendor shines forth in passing,
and your deeds are recognized in light’s place.
you are the lord of all goodness!”
and I set him up in his settlement forever.
and we come upon Abator’s house.
our splendor shined forth upon Abator.
and made a petition to Life.
on account of the wrongful deeds he had done.
“Ladies rejoice and rejoice,
who is dressed in the garb of splendor.
and light is cast over his shoulders.
and signs with the pure sign.”
over the great Jordan of living water,
to the everlasting abode,
that rise from the world.
for him to command and be obeyed completely.
when you were transplanted from the hidden places?
when you are from the pure splendor?
and grow angry with Ptahil,
that come from the two of you;
and are turned away.
on truth’s paths,
he will end up at the end of the world.”
and protected his treasure, from top to bottom.
We put some of the air’s scent upon him.
and confirmed his speech, from start to finish.
and we come upon Excellent Ptahil.
he was filled with love,
quickly send a boon to me,
Each and every single day

“Life will surely know,
Life will surely know,

Ptahil formed Earth,
Behram stretched forth the bright banners,
Shelmey performed the living baptism,
Adam sowed the seed,
20 Excellent Ennosh set within it settlements,
Hibel called forth with Life’s voice,
Yukashar achieved success with it,
Heyya-Shom set Aquarius within it,
Life’s Son chose the Great’s portion,
25 And Life triumphs,
In the name of the Great Life,
62. When Earth did not yet exist,
When it had not yet condensed,
When the waters were still black,
and Shitel, Shehlon, and Ayar,
5 Hibel set a boundary and measured the water,
As Shehlon stood,
against Splendid Hibel and Splendid Ayar,
“My brothers, you foolish excellencies,
this world to which you have brought me,
10 and out of it no firmament will be made up,
and no land will be called up,
How will Adam ever have Eve, his wife?
How will they sink and rise?
How will he get his strength?
15 How will fragrant herbs and aromas
{How will he ever find a wife?}
and all the other fragrant plants,
How will Splendid Qamamir exist here?
How will he plant here flowers,
20 How will they come from this black water?

and built within it tents.
and brought light to the great palace.

and was called ‘the healer’ therein.
and successfully brought it up to light’s place.”
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
and the world had not been called into being,
nor had that which is solid been called into being,
Splendid Hibel went forth,
and they came to stand upon Earth.
dividing it up inch by inch.
his mind became filled with spite
so he said to them,
you excellencies without polish or beauty,
there will be for it no land out of it,
the black water will not dry up,
from this world that you have called up.
How will Adam’s children ever exist?
How will the shells and settlements exist?
How will he get his sweet scents?
waft up to Adam from this black water?
How will the elder myrtle be planted,
just as marjoram and tarragon are planted?
vegetables, medicinal herbs, and seeds?
How will there be a muddy land?

 62:57 – 63:20
They put them in order and brought them,
“You will be a light source,
and when you are concealed, you, moon
60 so that neither a terrestrial war
and they will have power over Adam and his wife.”
They received the sun by day
They brought forth the great Venus,
and the great Mars,
65 They brought Little Eve,
and they made Earth’s successor.
They appointed Yushamen’s sons
then Yushamen’s sons didn’t want it,
Each of them received a share.
70 And Life is praised!
63. A voice from on high cried out to us.
It sent Intellect to us,
Intellect goes forth and comes
and those who know his acquaintances.
5 their white garments they shook off,
They set them on their heads,
They knelt down and bowed before him,
They say to him,
“Whence comes your date palm?
10 Whence comes the one who planted you?”
The gentle Intellect replied
“My roots are from Life,
The men who created my garments
My sons made the summoning,
15 Blessed is the one who heeds my speech,
Whoever heeds Manda d’Heyyi’s speech
Whoever doesn’t heed Manda d’Heyyi’s speech
and it will be their dwelling place
when I will be a witness against him:

for eighty years,
and they brought them to the planets.
It chose Intellect.

Whence comes your roots and your date palm?
to those who know me, saying,
and my date palm is from light’s place.

until the great judgment day,
I was a herald who called him.
I called and he didn’t listen with his ear.

I teach them praise,

“Come, let’s go and ask him about his home.

So sublime is your appearance,

I went there and I came,
I came upon seven figures,
All of them were sitting in mourning,
5 They scattered ashes on Spirit’s head,
They were speaking with wicked talk,
With lustful words they said,
“Come, let’s assume a false guise,
Let’s appoint a head,
10 Let’s give out fruits to the world,
Let’s make a call, like the man who went here.
let’s make them listen, fill them with perversity,
and tell them,
‘Why have you abandoned our words?
15 and changed what we have said?’
Let’s sit down and tell them,
I saw them, mocked them,
I shone in my abounding splendor,
The nations that saw me grew frightened,
20 Spirit fell from her throne,
The Seven trampled their robes,
All of them held their heads low,
Down they fell upon their faces,
“O Lord, we have really sinned!
25 As soon as I was armed,
I spoke and I said
“When I came, to work here,
so I would come to do good.
I will explain to them your wicked advice,
30 I will explain to them your speech,
Why would they listen to your words,
My chosen people certainly listened to me,
They were all good,
And Life triumphs!
Translation | 191
From Life’s house, I went there.
as far as the abode of the wicked.
and found them all sitting in mourning.
and scattered ashes on Spirit’s head.
and took pleasure in unpleasant deeds.
they said with lustful words,
Come, let’s appoint a head.
and give out fruits to the world.
and issue an empty summons.
Let’s summon them to worship you,
sit down, teach them,
Why have you abandoned our words,
before the strange man goes there.”
and laughed at all of them.
so that I became visible to the nations.
and the house’s godhead shook in fear.
and all the nations scattered.
and did not forget what they had done.
and fell down upon their faces.
they raised [their faces],
Please forgive us our sins.”
and sealed against the nations,
to the Seven children of the mortal abode,
the Great sought to send me
I will do good, and extend a blessing to my friends.
in which there is no light.
lest they listen to your talk.
and why would they remain within your world?”
all of them were good.
and they raised their faces to light’s place.

 66:34 – 67:11
Rise in the name of Life,
35 don the helmet of the worlds,
in the darkness that has no tinge of light.”
Lions would have surrounded me,
Dragons, liliths, and the Astartes
water-torrents and fields
40 if it were not for the strength from me,
He submitted to the man, his creator.
“Why have I sinned against you and sent you,
to the depth in which everything is corrupt,
When Sprout heard this from me,
45 that bestowed upon me hearing and speech,
“Go slay the lions with it!
Go slay the dragons with it!
Go slay with it the liliths
Go dry up the water-torrents
50 I raised a cry to Life’s house.
I set in order the things,
I crushed the darkness,
I rose without any fault,
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
67. From beyond, an excellency cries out
He says to him,
“Do not sleep, and do not lie down.
Do not be a child of the house,
5 Do not fall in love with fragrant wreaths,
Do not fall in love with perfumes,
Do not fall in love with false shadows,
and false shades that deceive.
Do not drink and become drunk,
10 When coming and when going,
When standing and when sitting,
Translation | 195
gather the beams of light,
and go to the realm of darkness,
devastating demons would have surrounded me,
like veiled women would have surrounded me,
of devouring pitch would have surrounded me,
if it were not that I am a disciple, a disciple’s voice.”
The Lord of Greatness said to him,
and why have I sent you here,
in which none can abide?”
he sent me a staff,
and said to me,
Go slay the savage leopards with it!
Go slay the devastating demons with it!
and the veiled Astartes!
and the courts of devouring pitch.”
It had sent me strength and splendor.
about which my father had ordered me.
and established the light throughout.
and had no flaw or imperfection.
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
and instructs the man Adam.
Do not forget what your lord commanded you,
and do not be called guilty in Earth.
and take no pleasure in an alluring woman.
and do not neglect your evening devotionals.
alluring prostitutes,
and do not forget your Lord from your mind.
watch out, you’ll forget your Lord!
watch out, you’ll forget your Lord!

The man who sleeps with his wife,
uncleanliness and menstruation,
50 Everyone who practices usury,
They should raise him into the dark mountain.
Everyone who loves gold and silver,
should die two deaths instead of one,
Everyone who breathes in Life’s scent
55 should be interrogated in Abator’s house.
Everyone who does disgusting deeds
Everyone who dyes his hands and feet,
He will hold the coals in his hand,
He will ask for death but will not die.
60 Life will not approach him,
nor will he be relieved from his suffering,
He will not be condemned in sin’s abode,
Everyone who loves colorful fabrics and colors
They will cover him with gloomy shrouds,
65 Darkness goes out before him,
He will have demons beside him,
He will be bound in the penitentiaries
To you I am speaking and explaining,
who testify to Life.
70 Do not do disgusting deeds,
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
68. When Manda d’Heyyi went
the demons wept, wailed, and shed their tears,
The demons cried like lambs,
When Manda d’Heyyi went to the place
5 Gap, upon seeing his splendor,
and said to him,
“Who are you, from the Great [Life],
He sees fruits and trees,
Translation | 199

they should raise him into clouds of darkness.

and does no good within it,
and get cut off.
and does not mention Life’s name over it
will be taken by the Seven’s sword and blade.
and distorts the likeness his Lord ordained for him,
and he will kindle the flame with his lips.
and neither let him die,
to rise to see light’s place,
because of the baptism he received.
will be clothed in darkness.
and put blazing sandals on his feet.
and gloom comes after him.
because he loved colors and colorful fabrics.
until his spirit becomes perfect.”
the souls of my righteous elect,
lest you sink down to darkness’ place.
and the man who went here triumphs!
and in the name of the precious truth!
to the place where demons dwell,
when they saw his splendor.
and the women bleated like sheep.
where Gap dwells,
sprung up from his throne, stood,
and who are you, to rise up to the Jordans?” […]
and the scent of Life that came upon me.

71. When they went forth and came to Abator,
and he said to them,
“Out of all the excellencies,
expelled me from my settlement,
5 and removing my bed from me,
When Abator said this,
and said to them,
“How hidden away is Abator within his shell!
and says to me,
10 ‘I shall never come out and take the scales,
When Splendid Hibel had said this,
and cried out in the world.
and the settlements kept silent
Little Sam responded to him, and said to him,
15 “I shall go down to the Nether,
and be called the era’s head.”
He says to him,
“You simple fool!
You will never be the owner of the scales,
20 Summon Abator,
The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
72. When he came to Abator,
since the king commanded him,
he is careful of the splendor of all the upper worlds.
Abator comes and goes,
5 and they drew near the king and sat down.
Abator spoke,
“I am only one of these numerous excellencies;
Then Intellect spoke to Abator,
“Of all the settlements and excellencies
10 there isn’t anyone gentle like you,
Your heart is great,
Translation | 207
Abator was hidden within his shell,
why have you made me the owner of the scales,
destroying and devastating my world,
so that the truth will never be given to me?”
Splendid Hibel went to his ancestors,
He rants from his shell,
and never be called the owner of the scales.’”
the king became filled with rage,
Twice he cried out,
until the third time.
and be the scale man,
You foolish man!
and never be called reliable and successful.
who is a gentle excellency.”
and the light wins, and those who love its name.
and in the name of the precious truth!
Abator arose from his throne,
and he is careful of the high king,
and excellencies came to his left and right,
saying to the Pure Intellect,
why did you send for me?”
like you in all these worlds of light,
you are gentle, and you are efficient.
and you will support the souls.

who will be the king in these worlds?”
and I shall establish the settlements.”
Hibel-Yawar clenched his fists,
for fifty-five years.
and raised excellencies and settlements.
the Great Life accepted the blessing,
He came, cast him down from his throne,
and said to him,
as long as the Great Life wants you to be.”
and let me be the owner of the scales,
and the man who went here triumphs!
and in the name of the precious truth!
whose ancestors have forgotten him.
whose ancestors hate him!
who heeds his ancestors’ chatter!
they cast him down, and set him at darkness’ gates.
I have fallen, and there is no way up for me.
I have run, but did not pass.
so great is my splendor.
and the excellencies will not approach me.
and have rested in the trappings of darkness.
the excellency who sinks into the darkness!

 73:14 – 74:15
This crown of mine upon my brow,
15 Gone are the speech and hearing
I, Splendid Hibel, am within the darkness,
and raised my sublime voice,
I said that I would be great,
I said that I would be gentle,
20 I said, “Listen to the speech of the Great!
I said that I would be meek and submissive,
I said that I would be king;
I am concerned about my ancestors,
I am concerned about my brothers and sisters,
25 I am concerned about what I’ve planted,
So, such is the fate of every man,
To the excellency who is called gentle,
Neither wife nor shell will they give him,
They will not settle an excellency called gentle.
30 The triumphant Life speaks,
In the name of the Great Life,
74. Excellent Ennosh spoke,
and he says,
“How I grieve for my disciples
How I grieve for my disciples’ children,
5 How I grieve for my disciples’ children,
Spirit has spread pollution, and cast them down!”
Excellent Ennosh spoke,
“If it pleases you, my ancestors,
and let my disciplines rise to light’s place.”
10 Life, his ancestors, spoke,
“How could we raise the disciples,
Excellent Ennosh spoke and taught,
“How could the community become full,
“How I grieve for my disciples’ children,
15 How I grieve for my disciples’ children,
Translation | 211
Zahriel has set it upon my head.
that my ancestors gave me.
I sit by the sides of the walls,
who has made me so small on Earth?
and support the lowly and the poor;
How sublime is the turban he has given me!”
the path on which the righteous great and small pass;
who has made me for darkness’ place?
and about unleashing Ur upon them.
and about unleashing darkness upon them.
only to abandon it at the gates of darkness.
who would be gentle!
they will give neither wife nor shell.
nor will they give him children to sire.
Sublime is the chinstrap they have given him!
and the man who went here triumphs!
may the sublime light be magnified!
praising the man, his creator,
who were cast into darkness!
upon whom were thrown much filth!
upon whom
saying to Life, his ancestors,
let the span of my disciples be finished,
saying to Excellent Ennosh,
whom we seek to replenish the community of souls?”
saying to Life, his ancestors,
from the souls you have cast into the dregs?
who are persecuted in Yawar’s name!
who are slain in Life’s name!

Why was I not set right,

Hibel submitted to his ancestors,
The Peacock did not submit,
My ancestors on high
As the Peacock said this,
45 When his ancestors heard his voice,
“They put me in my settlement, and said to me,
now put your rage out of your mind.’”
When the Peacock heard so,
He started to worship and praise
50 And Life triumphs!
In the name of the Great Life,
76. I come with sandals of precious stones,
In my left hand, they placed a mace,
which opens the way before me.
I will lay waste,
5 The images which were depicted upon it,
With a wreath upon my head,
To ages and generations I go,
I set up a throne and upon it I sat,
so that Jerusalem, whose gate was shut,
10 from my voice and my declaration,
and its bars and bolts were rolled back.
Jerusalem shone in my splendor,
Those who stank, their scent
I opened the eyes of the blind,
15 I put speech in the mouths
I made these crippled and lame folk
Christ raised his eyes, and he saw me dimly.
he twists his tongue,
and he says,
20 “Who are you, from the First Life,

and they called him a beloved son.
and they called him a defiant son.

may the sublime light be magnified!
and on my hands are choice gems and pearls.
and the great axe of openings,
I will destroy, I will build,
and put up my temple.
I have wiped clean from left to right.
I go to ages and generations.

and spoke in the secrets of my wisdom,
and whose bars and bolts were drawn in,
the bolts of its closed gate opened,
all the scents became fragrant.

you went to ages and generations,
You set up a throne and upon it you sat,
so that Jerusalem, whose gate was shut,
from your voice and declaration,
25 and its bars and bolts were rolled back.
Jerusalem shone in your splendor,
You opened the eyes of the blind,
You put speech in the mouths
You made these crippled and lame folk
30 Christ raised his eyes, and he saw me dimly,
so he twists his tongue,
and he says,
“Who are you, from the First Life,
Show me your mighty deeds in Jerusalem!”
35 I trampled on Earth until it trembled,
I wrote a letter to the living water,
I made my sign upon the fire,
Christ raised his eyes, he saw me dimly,
so he twists his tongue,
40 and he says,
“If you are coming from the First Life,
I recited the beginning of the letter.
I recited about the head of all generations,
I recited about the good scion,
45 I recited about Ram and Rud,
I recited about Shorbey and Sharhabiel,
I recited about Shem, Noah’s son,
For whoever heeded and believed me,
For whoever did not heed me,
50 His name will be erased from my scroll,
The triumphant Life speaks,
Translation | 221

and whose bars and bolts were drawn in,
the bolts of its closed gate opened,
all the scents became fragrant.

and speaks with me in different ways,
and from those well-versed in wisdom?
and the heavens were shaken.
and my letter was not rejected.
but the fire did not sin against me, Excellent Ennosh.
and he changes his appearance to ask
and speaks with me in different ways,
recite a true letter!”
I recited about Adam and his wife Eve.
