Chanuk (Enoch) — 59

1 In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month, of the lifetime of Chanuk, in that parable, I saw that the Shamaym of Shamaym shook; that it shook violently; and that the powers of AL'ALYUN, and the Malakym, thousands and thousands, and myriads of myriads, were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of Days was sitting on the throne of HIS Kabad, while the Malakym and Qadashym were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my mind was dissolved; and I fell upon my face. The Qadash Maky'AL, another Qadash Malak, one of the Qadash ones, was sent, who raised me up.

2 And when he raised me, my ruach returned; for I was incapable of enduring this vision of violence, its agitation, and the concussion of Shamaym.

3 Then Qadash Maky'AL said to me: Why are you disturbed at this vision?

4 Hitherto has existed the day of mercy; and he has been merciful and longsuffering towards all who dwell upon the Arath.

5 But when the time shall come, then the power, the punishment, and the judgment, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut has prepared for those who prostrate themselves to the judgment of righteousness, for those who abjure that judgment, and for those who bring 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH‘s Name to naught.

6 That day has been prepared for the elect as a covenant, and for sinners as an inquisition.

7 In that day shall be distributed for food two monsters; a female monster, whose name is Laviathan, dwelling in the depths of the sea, above the springs of waters;

8 And a male monster, whose name is Bahamuth; which possesses, on his breast, the invisible wilderness.

9 His name was Dandayan in the east of the garden, where the elect and the righteous will dwell; where he received it from my ancestor, who was man, from Adam the first of man, whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut made.

10 Then I asked of another Malak to show me the power of those monsters, how they became separated, how they became separated on the same day, one in the depths of the sea, and one in the dry desert.

11 And he said: You, son of Adam, are here desirous of understanding secret things.

12 And the Malak of Shalum, who was with me, said: These two monsters are by the power of 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH prepared to become food, that the punishment of 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH may not be in vain.

13 Then shall children be slain with their mothers, and sons with their fathers.

14 And when the punishment of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut shall continue, upon them shall it continue, that the punishment of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut may not take place in vain. After that, judgment shall exist with mercy and longsuffering.
