LXVIII. 1. And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of
all the secrets in the book and 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. 5. Therefore all that is hidden shall come upon them for ever
and ever; for neither angel nor man shall have his portion (in it), but
alone they have received their judgement for ever and ever.’
LXIX. _The Names and Functions of the (fallen Angels and) Satans: the
secret Oath._
LXIX. 1. And after this judgement they shall terrify and =make= them =to
tremble= because they have shown this to those who dwell on the earth.
2. And behold the names of those angels [and these are their names: the
first of them is Samjâzâ, the second Artâqîfâ, and the third Armên, the
fourth Kôkabêl, the fifth †Tûrâêl†, the sixth Rûmjâl, the seventh
Dânjâl, the eighth †Nêqâêl†, the ninth Barâqêl, the tenth Azâzêl, the
eleventh Armârôs, the twelfth Batarjâl, the thirteenth †Busasêjal†, the
fourteenth Hanânêl, the fifteenth †Tûrêl†, and the sixteenth Sîmâpêsîêl,
the seventeenth Jetrêl, the eighteenth Tûmâêl, the nineteenth Tûrêl, the
twentieth †Rûmâêl†, the twenty-first †Azâzêl†. 3. And these are the
chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over
hundreds and over fifties and over tens.]
4. The name of the first Jeqôn: that is, the one who led astray [all]
the sons of =God=, and brought them down to the earth, and led them
astray through the daughters of men. 5. And the second was named Asbeêl:
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. 6. And the
third was named Gâdreêl: he it is who showed the children of men all the
blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death
to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for
battle, and all the weapons of death to the children of men. 7. And from
his hand they have proceeded against those who dwell on the earth from
that day and for evermore. 8. And the fourth was named Pênêmûe: he
taught the children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them
all the secrets of their wisdom. 9. And he instructed mankind in writing
with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to eternity
and until this day. 10. For men were not created for such a purpose, to
give confirmation to their good faith with pen and ink. 11. 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 me†. 12. And the fifth was named
Kâsdejâ: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked
smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the
womb, that it may pass away, and [the smitings of the soul] the bites of
the serpent, and the smitings which befall through the noontide heat,
the son of the serpent named Tabâ’ĕt. 13. And this is the =task= of
Kâsbeêl, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he
dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Bîqâ. 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 Akâe in the hand of Michael. 16. And these are the secrets of
this oath....
And they are strong through his oath:
And 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
(its) 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 in like manner the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and
of all zephyrs, and (their) paths from all the quarters of the winds.
23. And there are preserved the voices of the thunder and the light of
the lightnings: and there are preserved the chambers of the hail and the
chambers of the hoar-frost, and the chambers of the mist, and the
chambers of the rain and the dew. 24. And all these believe and give
thanks before the Lord of Spirits, and glorify (Him) with all their
power, and their food is in every act of thanksgiving: they thank and
glorify and extol the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.]
25. And this oath is mighty over them,
And through it [they are preserved and] their paths are preserved,
And their course is not destroyed.
_Close of the Third Parable._
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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,
And 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.
This is the third Parable of Enoch.
