1 And then Miḵa’ĕl, Uri’ĕl, Repha’ĕl, and Gaḇri’ĕl looked down from the shamayim and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.
2 And they said one to another, “The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying up to the gates of the shamayim.
3 “And now to you, the qodeshim of the shamayim, the beings of men make their petition, saying, ‘Bring our cause before the Most High.’ ”
4 And they said to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of the ages, “Aḏon of masters, Elohim of mighty ones, Sovereign of sovereigns, and Elohim of the ages, the throne of Your esteem is unto all the generations of the ages, and Your Name qodesh and magnificent and baruk unto all the ages!
5 “You have made all, and You have power over all, and all are naked and open in Your sight, and You see all matters, and none can hide himself from You.
6 “You see what Azaz’ĕl has done, who has taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were in the shamayim, which men were striving to learn.
7 “And Shemyatsa, to whom You have given authority to bear rule over his associates.
8 “And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins.
9 “And the women have borne giants, and by this the whole earth has been filled with blood and unrighteousness.
10 “And now, see, the beings of those who have died are crying and making their petition to the gates of the shamayim, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth.
11 “And You know all matters before they come to pass, and You see these and You allow them, and You do not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.”
