14 HANOCH - ENOCH 14
Enoch Reprimands the Watchers of Heaven
14:1 This is the book of the words of righteousness and the chastisement of the eternal Watchers, in accordance with how YAHWEH the Kodesh and Great One had commanded in this vision.
14:2 I saw in my sleep what I now speak with my tongue of flesh and the breath of the mouth which YAHWEH the Great One has given to man so that he man may speak with it -and so that he may have understanding with his heart as YAHWEH the Great One has created and given it to man.
14:3 Accordingly HE has created me and given me the word of understanding so that I may reprimand the Watchers, the children of heaven.
14:4 I wrote down your prayers -so it appeared in visions -for your prayers will not be heard throughout all the days of eternity; and judgment is passed upon you.
14:5 From now on you will not be able to ascend into heaven unto all eternity, but you shall remain inside the earth, imprisoned all the days of eternity.
14:6 Before that you will have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and you will not have their treasures, which will fall before your eyes by the sword.
14:7 And your petitions on their behalf will not be heard -neither will those on your own behalf which you offer weeping and praying -and you will not speak even a word contained in the book which I wrote.
Enoch's vision
14:8 “And behold I saw the clouds: And they were calling me in a vision; and the fogs were calling me; and the course of the stars and the lightnings were rushing me and causing me to desire; and in the vision, the winds were causing me to fly and rushing me high up into heaven.”
14:9 And I kept coming into heaven until I approached a wall which was built of white marble and surrounded by tongues of fire; and it began to frighten me.
14:10 And I came into the tongues of the fire and drew near to a great house which was built of white marble, and the inner walls were like mosaics of white marble, the floor of crystal,
14:11 the ceiling like the path of the stars and lightnings between which stood fiery cherubim and their heaven of water;
14:12 and flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its gates were burning with fire.
14:13 And I entered into the house, which was hot like fire and cold like ice, and there was nothing inside it; so fear covered me and trembling seized me.
14:14 And as I shook and trembled, I fell upon my face and saw a vision.
14:15 And behold there was an opening before me and a second house which is greater than the former and everything was built with tongues of fire.
14:16 And in every respect it excelled the other -in splendor and great honor -to the extent that it is impossible for me to recount to you concerning its majesty and greatness.
14:17 As for its floor, it was of fire and above it was lightning and the path of the stars; and as for the ceiling, it was flaming fire.
14:18 And I observed and saw inside it a lofty throne -its appearance was like crystal and its wheels like the shining sun; and I heard the voice of the cherubim;
14:19 and from beneath the throne were issuing streams of flaming fire. It was difficult to look at it.
14:20 And YAHWEH the Great Majesty was sitting upon it -as for HIS gown, which was shining more brightly than the sun, it was whiter than any snow.
14:21 None of the angels was able to come in and see the face of the Excellent and the Splendid One; and no one of the flesh can see HIM
14:22 the flaming fire was round about HIM, and a great fire stood before HIM. No one could come near unto HIM from among those that surrounded the tens of millions that stood before HIM.
14:23 HE needed no council, but the most kodesh ones who are near to HIM neither go far away at night nor move away from HIM.
14:24 Until then I was prostrate on my face covered and trembling. And YAHWEH called me with HIS own mouth and said to me, “Come near to me, Enoch, and to MY kodesh Word.”
14:25 And HE lifted me up and brought me near to the gate, but I continued to look down with my face.
