APPENDIX TO THE BOOK OF ḤANOḴ
1 Another book which Ḥanoḵ wrote for his son Methushelaḥ and for those who will come after him, and keep the Law in the last days.
2 You who have done good shall wait for those days till an end is made of those who work evil; and an end of the might of the transgressors.
3 And wait indeed till sin has passed away, for their names shall be blotted out of the Book of Ḥai and out of the qodesh Books, and their seed shall be destroyed forever, and their spirits shall be slain, and they shall cry and make lamentation in a place that is a wilderness of confusion, and in the fire they shall burn; for there is no earth there.
4 And I saw there what looked like an invisible cloud; for because of its depth I could not look over, and I saw a flame of fire blazing brightly, and like shining mountains circling and sweeping to and fro.
5 And I asked one of the qodesh Messengers who was with me and said to Him, “What is this shining? For it is not the shamayim, but only the flame of a blazing fire, and the voice of weeping and crying and lamentation and strong pain.”
6 And He said to me, “This place which you see, here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and of those who pervert all matters that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has spoken through the mouth of the neḇi’im – the matters that shall be.
7 “For some of them are written and inscribed above in the shamayim, in order that the messengers may read them and know that which shall befall the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been recompensed by Elohim; and of those who have been put to shame by wicked men,
8 who love Elohim and loved neither gold nor silver nor any of the pleasures which are in the world, but gave over their bodies to torture.
9 “Who, since they came into being, did not long after earthly food, but regarded all matters as a passing breath, and lived accordingly, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should baraḵ His Name.
10 “And all the bireḵoth destined for them I have recounted in the Books. And He has assigned them their recompense, because they have been found to be such as loved the shamayim more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they baraḵ Me.
11 “And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not recompensed with such honour as their trustworthiness deserved.
12 “And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My Qodesh Name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honour.
13 “And they shall be resplendent for generations without number; for righteousness is the judgment of Elohim; for to the trustworthy, He will give trustworthiness in the dwelling of upright paths.
14 “And they shall see those who were born in darkness, led into darkness, while the righteous shall be resplendent.
15 “And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them resplendent, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are prescribed for them.”
