Apocalypsis Mosis (english translation)

Biblical Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha

The greek text of the “Apocalypse of Moses” (which this translation was based on) is considered to be a fairly decent restoration of the original text, good enough for an amateur, but obsolete if accuracy is of importance. More data on more recent restorations can be found here. Comments on the contents of the text should be directed at this post, where my own comments can be found. The comments here should be limited to the translation itself.

It should be noted that the text uses the historic present tense for the narration, but the translation uses the more typical by modern standards past tense. The original text in Ancient Greek can be found here. Το παρόν κείμενο είναι μετάφραση της “Αποκαλύψεως Μωυσέως” στα Αγγλικά. Το πρωτότυπο κείμενο στα Αρχαία Ελληνικά βρίσκεται εδώ.

Apocalypsis Mosis   The story and the times of Adam and Eve

	The story and the times of Adam and Eve the protoplasts,[1] revealed by God to Moses His servant, when he received the tablets of the law of the covenant from the hands of the Lord, and taught to him by the archangel Michael.
	[1]
1	This is the story of Adam and Eve.
2	After they went out of the Paradise, Adam took Eve his wife and went into the east. And he remained there for 18 years and 2 months.
3	And Eve conceived and bare two sons; Diàphotos,[2] the one called Cain and Amilavès,[3] the one called Abel.
	[2]
1	And after these had happened between Adam and Even, while they were sleeping, Eve said to her lord Adam:
2	”My lord, I saw in my dream this night the blood of my son Amilavès, the one called Abel, pouring into the mouth of Cain his brother and he drank mercilessly. And he begged him to let him have some of it,
3	but he would not listen, but drank the whole of it. But it did not remain in his belly, but came out of his mouth.”
4	And Adam said to Eve: “Let us rise and go and see what happening to them; in case the enemy is fighting them.”
	[3]
1	They both went and found Abel murdered by the hand of Cain.
2	and said God to Michael the archangel: “Tell Adam that ‘the secret which you saw do not let Cain know, because he is a son of wrath. But do not grieve, because I will give you another son instead of him and he will tell you all that you shall do. As for you, tell him nothing.’ ”
3	These did God say to His angel; and Adam kept the words in his heart and Eve along with him; grieving for their son Abel.
	[4]
1	After these, Adam knew his wife and she conceived and gave birth to Seth.
2	And Adam said to Eve: “Behold, we have begotten a son in place of Abel, whom Cain killed. Let us offer glory and sacrifice to God.”
	[5]
1	And Adam made 30 sons and 30 daughters.
2	And he fell sick and cried with a loud voice and said: “Let all my sons come to me, so I can see them before I die”.
3	And everyone gathered; for the earth was inhabited in three places.
4	And everyone came to the door of the house in which he went to praise God. And Seth his son said: “Father Adam, what is your illness?”
5	And he said: “My children, I have great pain”. And they say: “What is pain and illness?”
	[6]
1	And Seth replied and told him: “Father, did you happen to remember Paradise, of which you ate, and became saddened by desire?
2	If that is the case, then order me and I will go and bring you fruit from Paradise. Because I will put dung on my head and I will cry and pray and the Lord will listen to me and send His angel and I will bring it to you, so your pain will cease.”
3	And Adam said to him: “No, my son Seth, but I have illness and pain.” And Seth said to him: “And how did this happen to you?”
	[7]
1	And Adam said to him: When God created us, me and your mother, because of whom I am dying, He gave us every plant in Paradise. About one plant he ordered us not to eat from eat and because of it we are dying.
2	And near drew the hour for the angels that were guarding your mother to go up and bow down to the Lord. And the enemy gave her to eat from the tree, knowing that I was not near her, nor were the holy angels;
3	then she also gave to me to eat.
	[8]
1	When we both had eaten, God was furious with us. And the Sovereign [4] came into Paradise and placed his throne and called out in a terrible voice and said: “Adam, where are you? And why are you hiding from my face? Do you think a house can hide itself from its builder?”
2	And He said: “Because you abandoned my covenant, I have brought down on you 70 plagues. The pain of the first plague: the violation of the eyes; the second plague, the pain of the hearing; and so forth all the plagues will fall on you”.
	[9]
1	And after Adam said these to his sons, he sighed greatly and said: “What can I do? I am very sorrowful”.
2	And Eve cried as well and said: “My lord, Adam, rise, give me half of your illness and I will suffer it, for because of me has this happened to you; because of me you are in hardship and pain”.
3	And Adam said to Eve: “Rise and walk with our son Seth close to Paradise and place your heads on the earth and weep and ask God to feel pity for me and send His angel into Paradise and give me from the tree, out of which flows the oil, and bring it to me and anoint myself and find rest; and I will tell you how we were deceived earlier”.
	[10]
1	And Seth walked with Eve to the places of Paradise. And as they walked Eve saw her son and a beast attacking him.
2	And Eve wept: “Woe is me; If I come to the day of the resurrection, all the sinners will curse me and say that I did not keep God’s command”.
3	And Eve cried out at the beast: “Oh you wicked beast! Do you not feat the image of God that you are fighting? How could you open your mouth? How were your teeth made strong? How could you not remember your subservience, that earlier you were a subject of the image of God?”
4	Then the beast cried out:
	[11]
1	”Oh Eve, it is not our fault that you are greedy, nor that you weep, but it is your fault, because the beginning of the beasts happened because of you.
2	How could you open your mouth and eat from the tree that God ordered you not to? Because of his has our nature mutated.
3	Now you will be unable to suffer it, if I start calling you into account”.
	[12]
1	And Seth said to the beast: “Shut your mouth and be quiet and stay away from the image of God until the day of judgment”.
2	Then the beast said to Seth: “Behold, I stay away from the image of God”. Then the beast went away and left him injured and he went to his tent.
	[13]
1	And Seth walked with his mother Even near Paradise. And they cried there, praying for God to send His angel and give them the oil of mercy.
2	And God send to them the archangel Michael and he said to them these words: “Seth, man of God, do not ask in your prayer about the tree from which flows the oil in order to anoint your father Adam. It will not be granted to you now,
3	but at the end of times. Then all flesh will be raised, from Adam up to that grand day, those that are holy people.
4	Then these people will be given all the mirth of Paradise and God will be among them.
5	And there will be no more sinners before Him, because the wicked heart will be raised out of them and they will be granted a heart that is able to sense good and will only worship God.
6	Because the extent of his life has been reached, in three days you will see the departure of his soul and its terrible ascent.”
	[14]
1	“Having said that the angel left them. Seth and Eve came to the tent where Adam was laid.
2	And Adam said to Even: “What have you done to us and brought down on us great wrath, which is death [dominating our entire race]?”
3	And he said to her: “Summon all our children and our children’s children and tell them the manner of our transgression.
	[15]
1	Then Even said to them: “Listen, all our children and our children’s children, and I will tell you how our enemy deceived us.
2	It came to pass, while we were guarding Paradise, each one was appointed a lot to guard by God.
3	And I was guarding my lot to the south and the west. And the Devil walked in Adam’s lot, where the male animals were; [Because God divided the animals and gave your father all the male one and to me all the female ones and each one of us kept his own.]
	[16]
1	And the Devil called out to the Serpent and said: “Rise up and come to me and I will tell you words that will benefit you.”
2	The the Serpent came to him and the Devil told him:
3	“I hear that you are the wisest over all the animals [5] and I have come to counsel you. I have found you to be the greatest of the animals and so I speak to you. But you bow down to him the least. Why do you eat from the scraps of Adam and his wife and not from the fruit of Paradise? Come, let us have him and his wife be cast out of Paradise, as we were cast out because of him.”
4	And the Serpent said to him: “I fear that the Lord will be angered with me”.
5	And the Devil said to him: “Fear not; just become my vessel and with your mouth I will speak words with which you will manage to deceive him.”
	[17]
1	And straight away he hang himself on the walls of Paradise, around the time the angels of God went up to worship.
2	Then Satan became as an angel and he sang hymns like an angel. And as I bent over the wall, I saw him identical to an angel. And he said to me: “Are you Eve?” and I said to him: “I am”.
3	And he said to me: “What are you doing in Paradise?” and I said to him: “God put us here, so we can guard it and eat from it”.
4	And the Devil responded to me through the mouth of the Serpent: “But you do not eat from every plant”.
5	And I said to him: “Yes, we eat from all plants but one, the one in the middle of Paradise, about which God has ordered us not to eat from, or we shall die with death.”
	[18]
1	Then the Serpent said to me: “God lives![6] I feel sorry for you because you are like animals. I want you to know this, so get up and come and listen to me and eat and understand the value of the tree.”
2	And I said to him: “I fear that the Lord will be angered with me, as he has told us”.
3	And he said to me: “Feat not. If you eat, your eyes will be opened and you will be as gods in knowing what is good and what is evil.
4	When God realized this, that you would become similar to him, he envied you and said: ‘You shall not eat of it’.
5	Look closely at the plant and you will see the great glory about it. And I indeed saw great glory about it.”
6	And I told him that it is good to look at and I feared to take from the fruit; and he said to me: “Come and I will give you. Follow me”.
	[19]
1	And I opened [the door] for him and he came inside Paradise and passed in front of me and after a few steps we turned around and said to me:
2	“I changed my mind. I will not give you to eat”. And he said this because he wanted to tempt me and lead me to perdition. And he said to me: “Swear to me that you will also give your husband”. And I said to him: “I do not know how to take a vow, but I will tell you what I know.
3	By the throne of the Sovereign and the Cherubim and the tree of life, I will give my husband to eat as well”. When he had take my vow, then he came and I climb onto him. And he placed on the fruit, which he gave me eat, the poison of his wickedness, which was his desire. Because desire is the head of all sin. And I pulled the branch towards the earth and took from the fruit and ate.
	[20]
1	And at that time my eyes were opened and I knew that I had become naked of the justice I had been wearing.
2	And I cried and said: “What have you done this and I have been deprived of the glory which I had been wearing?”
3	And I also cried about the oath. And he came down from the plant and disappeared.
4	And I was looking about for leaves to cover my shame and I could not find any from the plants of Paradise, because, once I ate, all the plants around me lost their leaves; all except the fig tree.
5	And I took leaves from it and made wrappings for myself, and it was from the plants from which I ate.
	[21]
1	And I cried out a loud voice and said: “Adam, Adam, where are you? Rise up and come to and I will show you a great secret.
2	And when your father came, I spoke to him words of transgression [which brought us down from great glory].
3	And once he came, I opened my mouth and the Devil spoke and I started changing his mind by saying: “Come, my lord Adam, listen to me and eat from the fruit of the tree that God told us not to eat and you will become like a god.
4	And your father responded and said: “I fear that the Lord will be angered with me”.
5	And I said to him: “Fear not. Once you’ve eaten, you will know good and evil.” And then I quickly convinced him and he ate and his eyes were opened and he knew as well his nakedness.
6	And he said to me: “Oh wicked woman, what have you done to us? You deprived me of the glory of God”.
	[22]
1	And at that moment we heard the archangel Michael blowing his trumpet and summoning the angels saying:
2	”Thus speaks the Lord: ‘Come with me to Paradise and listen to the words with which I will judge Adam’”.
3	And when he heard the archangel blowing the trumpet we said: “Behold, God has come to Paradise to judge us”. We were frightened and hid. And God came up to heaven riding his cherubim chariot and the angels singing hymns to Him. And because of this the plants of Adam’s lot blossomed and the plants of my lot as well and they were not withered.
4	And the throne of God was placed where the tree of life was.
	[23]
1	And God summoned Adam saying: “Adam, where did you hide? Did you think I would not find you? Can a house hide from its builder?”
2	And then your father answered and said: “No, Lord, we did not hide so you could not find us, but I am afraid because I am naked and I felt shamed before your power, oh Sovereign.
3	And God said to him: “Who let you know you were naked? Or did you abandon my commandment which I gave you to keep?”
4	Then Adam remembered of the words I told him, when I wished to deceive him, that “I will make you safe before God” and he turned to me and said: “Why did you do this?”
5	And I said that the Serpent deceived me.
	[24]
1	And God said to Adam: “Because you broke my commandment and listened to your wife instead, the land will be cursed by your works.
2	When you work it, it will not give its strength, thorns and thistles will spring up for you and by the sweat of your face will you eat your bread. [You will suffer many and various toils and will find no rest, you will be crushed by bitterness and the lack of sweetness,]
3	You will be crushed by heat and shrink by cold; and you will tire a lot and not get wealthy and you will get fat and you will not come to an end;
4	And the animals you ruled will revolt against you in upheaval, because you did not keep my commandment”.
	[25]
1	And the Lord turned to me and said: “Because you listened to the Serpent and broke my commandment
2	You will be in the pains of labour and intolerable pain. You will bear children in much trembling and at one time you will end up losing your life because of your great need and the pains.
3	And you will confess and say: ‘Lord, Lord, save me and do not allow me to return to the sin of the flesh’.
4	And for this reason and for your words I will judge you; for the enmity the enemy placed inside you. You will turn again to your husband and he will rule over you”.
	[26]
1	After he had said these to me, he said to the Serpent in great wrath: Because you did this and became an ungrateful vessel in order to deceive those close to me in heart, you will be cursed over all the animals.
2	You will be deprived of the food you used to eat and will eat dirt all the days of your life.
3	On your chest and on your belly you will walk and you will be deprived of your hands and legs. You will not be left neither ear, not wing, nor any member [similar] of those you deceived in your wickedness and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.
4	And I will place enmity between you and his seed. He will pierce your head and you his heel up until judgment day.
	[27]
1	And having said these, he summoned his angels to throw us out of Paradise.
2	As we were being led and crying greatly, your father, Adam, besought the angels: “Let me go a little so I can beg God to feel sorry and have mercy on me, because I was the only one that sinned”.
3	And they stopped driving him out and Adam cried out and said: “Forgive me Lord for what I have done”.
4	Then the Lord said to his angels: “Why did you stop driving Adam out of Paradise? Is the transgression mine? Or did I judge poorly?
5	Then the angels fell to the earth and bowed down to the Lord and said: “You are just, Lord, and judge soundly”.
	[28]
1	And the Lord turned to Adam and said: “From now on I will not let be in Paradise”.
2	And Adam responded and said: “Lord, give me of the plant of life to eat before I am cast out”.
3	Then the Lord said to Adam: “You will not receive of it. It has been decreed that the Cherubim and the fiery sword that turns will guard [the plant] because of you, so you will taste of it and become immortal for all time.
4	You have the war that the enemy placed inside you, but once you have been driven out, if you keep yourself from all evil, like someone who is about ti die, when the resurrection will happen again, I will raise you and then you will be given of the tree of life and will be immortal for all time.
	[29]
1	Having said these, the Lord had us expelled from Paradise.
2	And your father cried in front of the angels opposite Paradise and the angels said to him: “What do you want us to do for you, Adam?”
3	And your father respoded to the angels: “Behold, cast me out. But I beg of you, let me take fragrance from Paradise, so after I have been expelled, I can offer sacrifice to God, so He will listen to me.
4	And the angels approached God and said: “Jael, eternal king, order us to give Adam fragrant incense from Paradise”.
5	And God decreed that Adam come and receive fragrant perfumes from Paradise for his sustenance.
6	And the angels allowed him and he gathered both genders of suffran and nard and reed and cinnamon and other seeds for his sustenance; and having taken these he left Paradise.
7	And so we were on earth.
	[30]
1	So there, my children, I have told you how we were deceived. You should guard yourselves and not abandon what is good.”
	[31]
1	Having said these amongst her sons, while Adam was sleeping because of his illness and had one day before he was to leave his body, Eve said to Adam:
2	”Why are you dying and I still live? Tell me, how much time do I have after you die?”
3	Then Adam said to Eve: “Do not worry about these things. After I die you will be late, but we will die in equal time. And you shall lie in my place. And when I am dead, you should anoint me and no one should touch me until the angel of the Lord speaks about me.
4	Because God will not forget me, but will seek for the vessel which he created. Now get up and pray to God until I relinquish my spirit in the hands of the one who gave it to me. Because we do not know how will meet our Creator; whether He will be angered with us or will receive us and have mercy on us.
	[32]
1	Then Eve got up and came outside and fell to the earth and said:
2	”I have sinned, oh God, I have sinned, oh Father of everything, I have sinned before you, before your elect angels, I have sinned before the Cherubim, I have sinned before your immovable throne, I have sinned, oh Lord, I have sinned a lot, I have sinned against you and every sin in creation exists because of me”.
3	And while Eve was praying on her knees, behold, the angel of mankind [7] came to her and stood her to her feet and said:
4	”Get up Eve from your repentance. Behold, your husband Adam has left his body. Stand up and see his spirit rising up to meet the One who made him”.
	[33]
1	And Eve stood up and placed her hands on her face and the angel said to her: “Rise out of these earthly matters”.
2	And Eve looked to the sky and saw a chariot of light coming, drawn by four bright eagles – the glory of which is impossible to be described by someone born from a womb, nor to see their faces – and angels were leading the chariot.
3	When it came to the place where your father lay, the chariot stopped and the Seraphim were between the chariot and the father.
4	Behold I saw golden censers and three bottles and behold, all the angels with incense and the censers and the bottles came to the altar and were blowing smoke from the censers and the vapours of the incense covered the firmaments.
5	And the angels kneeled and bowed down to God crying out and saying: “Jael holy one, forgive, because he is Your image and creation of Your holy hands”.
	[34]
1	And I Eve saw straight away two great and terrible wonders standing before God. And I cried with fear and cried out to my son Seth saying:
2	Come Seth, leave your father’s body and come to me, so you can see what no eye has ever seen praying for you father Adam.
	[35]
1	Then Seth stood and came to his mother and said to her: “What is wrong with you? And why are you crying?
2	And she said to him: “Raise your eyes and see the seven firmaments opened up; and see with your eyes how your father’s body is lying on its face all the holy angels with it, praying for it and saying: ‘Forgive him, Father of everything, because he is Your image’.
3	I wonder, my son Seth, what this is? When was he delivered to the hands of our invisible father, our God?
4	And who are those black men [8] accompanying your father’s prayer?”
	[36]
1	And Seth said to his mother: They are the Sun and the Moon and they fall down and pray for my father Adam.”
2	And Eve said to him: “And where is their light and why have they become dark like that?”
3	And Seth said to her: “They cannot shine before the light of everything and for that their light was hidden”.
	[37]
1	While Seth was saying that to his mother, the angels who were on their faces blew their trumpets and cried out in a terrible voice saying:
2	”Blessed be the glory of the Lord on his creations. He has shown mercy on the creation of His hands, Adam”.
3	When they had cried this out, one of the Seraphim the six-winged, came and snatched up Adam and carried him to the Acherusian Lake and washed him before God.
4	When he had laid for three hours, the Sovereign of all stretched out his hands, while sitting on his holy throne, and picked up Adam and delivered him to the archangel Michael, saying:
5	Raise him to Paradise, up to the third heaven and leave him there up to that great and terrible day of reckoning in the world.
6	And Michael the archangel took him and left him there, as God had said when he had forgiven Adam.
	[38]
1	After all of these, the archangel took care of the funeral of the remains.
2	And God commanded all the angels to gather before Him, each one in his own [angelic] order. And all the angels assembled, some with censers, some with trumpets.
3	And the Lord of Hosts came on and the winds drew Him and the Cherubim mounted on the winds and the angels of heaven were in front of them; and they all came where Adam’s body was laid and they took it.
4	And they came into Paradise and all the plants of Paradise stirred, so all born of Adam would fall asleep; all except Seth who was born according to God’s own terms.
5	So Adam’s body lay on the ground in Paradise and Seth was grieving exceedingly over it.
	[39]
1	And the Lord God said: “Adam, why did you this? Had you kept my commandment, those bringing you down here would have no joy.
2	But I’m telling you: their joy I will transform into sadness; and your sadness I will transform into joy, and when you return, I will sit you in your power on the throne of the one who deceived you.
3	And he will be cast out of this land, as you will be seated above him. Then he and those that listened to him will be judged and they will be very saddened and they will weep when they see you sitting on this honourable throne”.
	[40]
1	And then he called the archangel Michael:
2	”Go to Paradise in the third heaven and bring Me three purple silken sheets.” [9] And God said to Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael: “Cover Adam’s body with the sheets and bring of the oil of the ‘oil of fragrance’ and pour it over him”. And they did so and they buried his body.
3	And the Lord said: “Let Abel’s body be brought as well”. And bringing other sheets they buried him too,
4	because his body was left unburied since the day Cain, his brother, murdered him. Cain the Wicked tried hard to hide the body, but he could not, because the earth would not accept it and said:
5	”I will not accept another body, before the dust that was taken from me and fashioned return to me”. Then angels took it up and placed it upon the stone, until his father was died,
6	And they were both buried as God commanded in the places of Paradise, at the spot where God found the dust.
7	And God sent seven angels in Paradise and they brought a lot of fragrances and places them on the earth; and thus they took the two bodies and buried them in the place they had dug and built.
	[41]
1	And God called out to Adam and said: “Adam, Adam?” and the body responded from the ground and said: “Here I am, Lord”.
2	And the Lord said to him: “I told you that you are dust and in dust you shall return.
3	Once again I promise you the resurrection. I will raise you in the final day with the resurrection of all men that came from your seed”.
	[42]
1	After these words God made a triangular seal and sealed the monument, so that no one could do anything to him in the six days, until his rib is returned to him.
2	Then the man-loving God and the holy angels returned to His place.
3	After six days Eve died as well. While she was alive she cried about the dormition, because she did not know where he body would be placed. When the Lord was in Paradise, when they buried Adam, she was asleep along with her children, except Seth, as I have already said.
4	And Eve begged at the moment of her passing that she be buried along with Adam, her husband, saying thusly:
5	”My Sovereign, Lord and God of all virtue, do not reprive you servant from the body of Adam, because you made me from his members,
6	But find me worthy, make this unworthy and sinful [woman] be buried along with his body,
7	As I was with him in Paradise and after the transgression, inseparable. In the same manner, let no one separate us.
8	And after she had prayed, she looked up at the heaven and stood up and hit her breast and said: “God of all, accept my spirit”. And she immediately surrendered her spirit to God.
	[43]
1	And after she had died, the archangel Michael came to help and three angels took her body and buried it where Abel’s body was.
2	And the archangel Michael said to Seth: “In this manner you should bury all dead people until the day of the resurrection”.
3	After he had given this commandment he said to him: “You should mourn for six days and on the seventh day stop and rejoice, because on this day God and us angels rejoice as the worthy soul leaves from the earth.
4	Having said that the archangel Michael went up into heaven glorifying and saying hallelujah,
5	[“Holy holy holy is the Lord, in the glory of God the Father, because he is worth glory and honour and worship along with His beginningless and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever and in the centuries of centuries, amen.]
	[Holy holy holy is the Lord of Hosts, because His is the power and the glory in the centuries of centuries, amen.”]
	[And the archangel Joel glorified the Lord saying: “Holy holy holy is the Lord; the heaven and the earth is full of his glory”.]

 

FOOTNOTES

1 ▲	Πρωτόπλαστοι: The ones created first
2 ▲	Διάφωτος: Full of light. Charles mentioned that it can also be found as “Αδιάφωτος” and it is probably based on the same logic that Satan is Lucifer, the light-bringer.
3 ▲	Αμιλαβές: Corrupt word, possibly from the armenian “barekhooh” = well-minded
4 ▲	Δέσποτας: Tricky word to translate into english, since the word “despot” doesn’t have positive conotations. Charles translates it as “Lord”, but this doesn’t differentiate the word from “Κύριος”, hence I chose “Sovereign” to translate this kingly title.
5 ▲	Θηρίον: The word means “beast”, but in this context it means specifically “animal” and I translated it in this manner so as to avoid confusion with the beast Seth battled.
6 ▲	Ζῇ ὁ θεὸς: Exclamatory expression used to augment the following statement. Informally we could translate: “Good grief! You live like animals!”
7 ▲	ὁ ἄγγελος τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος: Archangel Michael (this is mentioned in other apocrypha as well)
8 ▲	αἰθίοπες: Literally, “men with black faces”. Charles uses the now politically incorrect “negroes”.
9 ▲	σινδόνας τρεῖς βυσσίνας: The sheets are asked to be the same colour as sour cherries.
