1
And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of all the secrets in
the book in the Parables which had been given to him, and he put them together
for me in the words of the book of the Parables.
2
And on that day Michael answered Raphael and said: "The power of the spirit
transports and makes me to tremble because of the severity of the judgement of
the secrets, the judgement of the angels: who can endure the severe judgement
which has been executed, and before which they melt away?"
3
And Michael answered again, and said to Raphael: "Who is he whose heart is
not softened concerning it, and whose reins are not troubled by this word of
judgement that has gone forth upon them because of those who have thus led
them out?"
4
And it came to pass when he stood before the Lord of Spirits, Michael said
thus to Raphael: "I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord; for the Lord
of Spirits has been angry with them because they do as if they were the Lord.
Therefore all that is hidden shall come upon them for ever and ever; for neither
angel nor man shall have his portion, but alone they have received their
judgement for ever and ever."
5
And after this judgement they shall terrify and make them to tremble because
they have shown this to those who dwell on the earth.
6
And behold the names of those angels: the first of them is Samjaza, the second
Artaqifa, and the third Armen, the fourth Kokabel, the fifth Turael, the sixth
Rumjal, the seventh Danjal, the eighth Neqael, the ninth Baraqel, the tenth
Azazel, the eleventh Armaros, the twelfth Batarjal, the thirteenth Busasejal, the
fourteenth Hananel, the fifteenth Turel, and the sixteenth Simapesiel, the
seventeenth Jetrel, the eighteenth Tumael, the nineteenth Turel, the twentieth
Rumael, the twenty−first Azazel.
7
And these are the chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones
over hundreds and over fifties and over tens.
8
The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray the sons of God,
and brought them down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters
of men.
9
And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil
counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled their bodies with the daughters
of men.
10
And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all
the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed the shield and the coat of
mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of
men. And from his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the
earth from that day and for evermore.
11
And the fourth was named Penemue: he taught the children of men the bitter
and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he
instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from
eternity to eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a
purpose, to give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were
created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and
righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of
them but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power
it is consuming men.
12
And the fifth was named Kasdeja: this is he who showed the children of men
all the wicked smithings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo
in the womb, that it may pass away, and the bites of the serpent, and the smitings
which befall through the noontide heat the son of the serpent named Tabaet.
13
And this is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the
holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Biqa.
14
This angel requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might
enunciate it in the oath, so that those might quake before that name and oath who
revealed all that was in secret to the children of men.
15
And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed
this oath Akae in the hand of Michael.
16
These are the secrets of this oath and they are strong through his oath: The
heaven was suspended before the world was created, and for ever.
17
And through it the earth was founded upon the water and from the secret
recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters from the creation of the world
and unto eternity.
18
And through that oath the sea was created and as its foundation He set for it
the sand against the time of anger, and it dare not pass beyond it from the
creation of the world unto eternity.
19
And through that oath are the depths made fast and abide and stir not from
their place from eternity to eternity.
20
And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course and deviate
not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.
21
And through that oath the stars complete their course and He calls them by
their names, and they answer Him from eternity to eternity.
22
And this oath is mighty over them and through it their paths are preserved
and their course is not destroyed.
23
And there was great joy amongst them, and they blessed and glorified and
extolled because the name of that Son of Man had been revealed unto them.
24
And he sat on the throne of His glory and the sum of judgement was given
unto the Son of Man, and He caused the sinners to pass away and be destroyed
from off the face of the earth, and those who have led the world astray.
25
With chains shall they be bound and in their assemblage place of destruction
shall they be imprisoned, and all their works vanish from the face of the earth.
26
And from henceforth there shall be nothing corruptible; For that Son of Man
has appeared and has seated himself on the throne of His glory.
27
All evil shall pass away before His face and the word of that Son of Man
shall go forth and be strong before the Lord of Spirits.
