My LORD’s BibleTestament of Benjamin 1
1THE copy of the words of Benjamin, which he commanded his sons to observe, after he had lived a hundred and twenty-five years.
᾿Διαθήκη Βενιαμὴν τοῦ ιβ΄ υἱοῦ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Ῥαχιήλ.
2And he kissed them, and said: As Isaac was born to Abraham in his old age, so also was I to Jacob.
᾿Αντίγραφον λόγων Βενιαμήνϑ, διέθετοδ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ͵, σας ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι πέντε. μέλεσι ἴδια μέλη συνέπασχε. ὦ συνέπασχε ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ. έ καὶ ἐπένθησαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ὡς προνοητὴν αὐτῶν καὶ κηδεμόνα. καὶ καὶ Ῥαχὴλ αἱ καὶ ἔζησε ἔτη ρί. σ᾽ τέλος διαθήκης ᾿Ιωσήφ. διανοίας ἐννοίας καθαρᾶς Βενιαμὴν ἑρμηνεύεται τέκνον ὀδύνης ὃ. περὶ τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν τὸν πλησίον᾽ λόγος ιβ΄. ὃ. υἱοῦ ιβ΄ υἱοῦ Ῥαχὴλ β΄ περὶ διανοίας καθαρᾶς. ὃ, ιβ΄.
3And since Rachel my mother died in giving me birth, I had no milk; therefore I was suckled by Bilhah her handmaid.
υἱοῦ ᾿Ιακὼβ Ἰσραήλ.
4For Rachel remained barren for twelve years after she had borne Joseph; and she prayed the Lord with fasting twelve days, and she conceived and bare Me.
ἘΚαταφιλήσας δὲ αὐτοὺς εἶπεν ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ φιλήἘ ἐτέχθη τῷ ᾿Αβραὰμ ἐν γήρει αὐτοῦ οὕτως κἀγὼ τῷ ἢ ἸΙακώβ
5For my father loved Rachel dearly, and prayed that he might see two sons born from her.
6Therefore was I called Benjamin, that is, a son of days.
ἘΚαὶ ἐπειδὴ Ῥαχιὴλ ἡ μήτηρ μου ἑκατοστῷ τέθνηκεῖδ γεννῶσά με, Ἐγάλα οὐκ ἔσχον Βαλλὰν οὖν τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτῆς ἐθήλασαν.
7And when I went into Egypt, to Joseph, and my brother recognized me, he said unto me: What did they tell my father when they sold me?
Ἡ ΓΡαχιὴλ μετὰ τῷ Ἃ. τὸ τεκεῖν τὸν Ιωσὴφ᾽ δώδεκα ἔτη ἐστείρευσεν καὶ προσηὔξατο Ἐπρὸς νηστείας καὶ συλλαβοῦσα νηστείας μεῖ͵
8And I said unto him, They dabbled thy coat with blood and sent it, and said: Know whether this be thy son's coat.
Σφόδρα γὰρ, Ἐἠγάπα Γὸ πατήρ δώδεκα Ῥαχιήλτ, καὶ ηὔχετο δύο υἱοὺς ἰδεῖν ἐξ αὐτῆς
9And he said unto me: Even so, brother, when they had stripped me of my coat they gave me to the Ishmaelites, and they gave me a loin cloth, and scourged me, and bade me run.
Διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθην Βενιαμίν, ὅ ἐστιν υἱὸς ἡμερῶν ἔτεκεν. τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἑαυτὸν καὶ ὅτε προσήγγισαν. ὦ ᾿Εγὼ ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ τοῦ πατρός μου ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ πάντες καὶ ἔδωκε αὐτῇ Θεὸς γάλα ἰσχυρόν πολύ. γάλα πολύ. ἦλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ᾿Ιωσήφ᾽, καὶ ἐγνώρισένδ με ὁ ἀδελφός μου, λέγε πατρί μου ὅτε ἐπώλησαν ὅτι ἔφυραν τὸν χιτῶνά σου αἵματι καὶ πέμψαντες αὐτὸν μοι
10And as for one of them that had beaten me with a rod, a lion met him and slew him.
Καὶ εἶπον ᾿αὐτῷ εἰς Τί εἶπαν το εἰσῆλθον εἶπον. ᾿Ἐπίγνωθι εἰ τὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ. ἐστὶν Ἰωσήφ, ὁ ἀδελφός οὗτος.
11And so his associates were affrighted.
Καὶ λέγει Ναί, ἀδελφέ. καὶ ἐξέδυσάν με τὸν χιτῶνά μον δέδωκάν με τοῖς ἸΙσμαιλίταις καὶ δέδωκάν μοι περίκαὶ φραγγελλώσαντες εἶπόν μοι τρέχειν. δὶ
12Do ye also, therefore, my children, love the Lord God of heaven and earth, and keep His commandments, following the example of the good and holy man Joseph.
13And let your mind be unto good, even as ye know me; for he that bath his mind right seeth all things rightly.
Καὶ Ἐλέγει μοιῖδΝαί, ἀδελφέ. Καὶ γὰρ ὅτε ἔλαβόν με οἱ ἸΙσμαηλῖται, εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποδύσας με χιτῶνα ἔδωκέ μοι περίζωμα καὶ φραγελλώσας με εἶπε τρέχειν τὸν μον. ὧν, Ἰωσή Ναί, τάσδ ἀδελφέ
14Fear ye the Lord, and love your neighbour; and even though the spirits of Beliar claim you to afflict you with every evil, yet shall they not have dominion over you, even as they had not over Joseph my brother.,
ἔκλεψάν με Χαναναῖοι ἔμποροι βίᾳ. μου, λέγει μοι ἐγνώρισα Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἀδελφόν καὶ λέγει μοι, ἄκλαυσε πικρῶς καὶ καλέσας με κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ἔφη μοι, ἐγνώρισέν ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν καὶ λέγουσι εἶπον.
15How many men wished to slay him, and God shielded him!
Εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν δὲ τῷ ὑπάἰ
16For he that feareth God and loveth his neighbour cannot be smitten by the spirit of Beliar, being shielded by the fear of God.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ῥάβδῳ μαστίζων γειν κρύψαι τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτούς, με, ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἱμάτιόν μου, ὑπκαί ἔκρυλέων καὶ ἀνεῖλεν ἡντησενῖἜ αὐτῷ πτον τὸ ἱμάτιόν μου, αὐτόν.
17Nor can he be ruled over by the device of men or beasts, for he is helped by the Lord through the love which he hath towards his neighbour.
Καὶ λέων καὶ ἀνεῖλεν εἰ ἀπήντησέ ἵμοιξϑ οὕτως μέτοχοι αὐτόν.
18For Joseph also besought our father that he would pray for his brethren, that the Lord would not impute to them as sin whatever evil they had done unto him.
Καὶ θηρίον καὶ ἀνεῖλε αὐτοῦ φοβηθέντες οὕτως οἱ μέτοχοι
19And thus Jacob cried out: My good child, thou hast prevailed over the bowels of thy father Jacob.
Καὶ οὕτως οἱ ἐν Τἀνέσει με κατέφοβηθέντες Ἔδιαμέτοχοι αὐτοῦ ἐπώσχεν πωλοῦσί τοῖς με τοῖς ἾσἩἑτέροις αὐτῶν. μαηλίταις. οὐκ ἐψεύσαντο αὐτοὶ ταῦτα λέγοντες ἤθελεν κρύπτειν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἔργα τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκάλεσε πρὸς αὑτὸν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦδξ καὶ λέγει ᾽
20And he embraced him, and kissed him for two hours, saying:
21In thee shall be fulfilled the prophecy of heaven concerning the Lamb of God, and Saviour of the world, and that a blameless one shall be delivered up for lawless men, and a sinless one shall die for ungodly men in the blood of the covenant, for the salvation of the Gentiles and of Israel, and shall destroy Beliar and his servants.
Μὴ λέγετε τῷ πατρί ἐποίησατέ μοι, ἀλλ᾽ οὕτως λέξατε καθὼς ἐξηγησάμην ὃδ τῷ Βενιαμίν. Καὶ αἱ ἔννοιαι Ἐ γένωνται ἐν ὑμῖν τοιαῦταιδἸ καὶ μὴ ἔλθωσιν οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι καρδίαν τὸν πατρός οὖν, τέκνα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς Γἀγαπήσατεϊ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶδ φυλάξατε ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, Ἐμιμούμενοι τὸν ἀγαθὸν καὶ ὅσιον ἄνδρα ἀγαπήσατε οὖν καὶ ὑμεῖς τέκνα μον τέκνα μου καὶ ὑμεῖς. Ξε καὶ οὖν ὃ Α΄
22See ye, therefore, my children, the end of the good man?
Καὶ ἔστω ἡ διάνοια ὑμῶν Ὅτι ἕως θανάτου αὐτοῦ τὸ ἀγαθόνϑ, ὡς κἀμὲ οὐκ ἤθελε λέγειν περὶ αὐτοῦ οἴδατε Ὅτιϑ ὁ ἔχων ἀλλ᾽ Ἰακὼβ γνοὺς ἀπὸ Κυρίου διάνοιαν ὀρθὴν πάντα βλέπει λέγει αὐτῷ ἀλλ᾽ ὅμως αὐτὸς ὀρθῶς
23Be followers of his compassion, therefore, with a good mind, that ye also may wear crowns of glory.
Φοβεῖσθε ἀπηρνεῖτο, χαλεπῶς Κύριον καὶ ἀγαπᾶτε τὸν πληὅρκοις τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπείσθη σίον καὶ ἐὰν τὰ πνεύματα τοῦ Βελίαρ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν θλίψεως ἐκστήσωσιϊέ ὑμᾶς, οὐ μὴ κατακυριεύσωσιν ὑμῶν ὑμῶνδ, Ἰωσὴφ πᾶσα ἀδελφόν
24For the good man hath not a dark eye; for he showeth mercy to all men, even though they be sinners.
Πόϑλίψεως. σοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων Ἐ ἤθελον αὐτὸν ἀνελεῖν καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐσ κέπασεν αὐτόν ὃ; ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Θεὸν καὶ ἀγαπῶν ματος τοῦ Βελίαρ οὐ δύναται τοῦ πληγῆναι, σκεπαζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ φόβου τοῦ Θεοῦ. ἀπὸ ἐπιβουλῆς ἀνθρώπων ἀγαθήν. καθαρὰν ἀπὸ παντὸς ἔργον κακοῦ καὶ πάσης πράξεως πονηρᾶς. ἣ θηρίων οὐ δύναται καταὑπὸ τῆς κυριευθῆναι, βοηθούμενος ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὑπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης. ἀγάπης Ὁ ἧς ἔχει πρὸς τὸν β-ὃ, πλησίον. ὅτι ᾿ωσὴφ ἐδεήθη τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν προσεύξηται Ἐὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ ἵνα μὴδ λογίσηται τὰν ἘΓΚύριος αὐτοῖςδ ὅτι ἐποίησαν πονηρὸν εἰς αὖτόν θησαν
25And though they devise with evil intent. concerning him, by doing good he overcometh evil, being shielded by God; and he loveth the righteous as his own soul.
Καὶ οὕτως ἐβόα Ἰακώβ Ἐὧ τέκνον χρηστόν ἐνίπονηρὸδ τὰ σπλάγχνα Ἰακὼβ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ περιλαβὼν αὐτοῦ. αὐτὸν ἐπὶ κατεφίλει, λέγων
26If any one is glorified, he envieth him not; if any one is enriched, he is not jealous; if any one is valiant, he praiseth him; the virtuous man he laudeth; on the poor man he hath mercy; on the weak he hath compassion; unto God he singeth praises.
Πληρωθήσεται Πληρωθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ ἡ σοῦ προφητεία οὐράνιος Ἶ προφητεία οὐράνιος ἣ λέγει ὦ τέκνον χρηστόν. ὦ τέκνον ὦ τέκνον τέκνον μου, τέκνον τοῦ ἀμνοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὅτι ὁ ἄμωμος ὑπὲρ ἀνόμων καὶ σωτῆρος τοῦ κόσμου, ὅτι ἔμιανθήσεταιδθ καὶ ὁ ἀναἄμωμος ὑπὸ ἀνόμων παραμάρτητος ὑπὲρ ἀσεβῶν ἀποὑπέρ. δοθήσεται καὶ ἀναμάρτητος θανεῖται. ὑπὲρ ἀσεβῶν ἀποθανεῖται ἐν ἕλους. αἵματι διαθήκης ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ μιμηἐθνῶν καὶ τοῦδ᾽ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οὖν ὑπηρέτας αὐτοῦ τέλος ὅμλήσοσνε ἐν ἀγαθῷ διὰ τὴν ωτὰ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ἵκαὶ ὑμεῖς στεφάνου δόξης φορέσητεϑ.

Ἐάν τις ἀνδρεῖος τὸν σώφρονα ἀγαπῶν τὸν πένητα ἐλεεῖ
27And him that hath the grace of a good spirit he loveth as his own soul.
28If therefore, ye also have a good mind, then will both wicked men be at peace with you, and the profligate will reverence you and turn unto good; and the covetous will not only cease from their inordinate desire, but even give the objects of their covetousness to them that are afflicted.
Ἐγῷ ἀσθενοῦντιδθ συμπάσχει τὰν ἀνυμς Θεὸν φοβεῖται τὸν ἔχοντα χάριν
29If ye do well, even the unclean spirits will flee from you; and the beasts will dread you.
ἘΤὸν ἔχοντα φόβον Ἐλγαθοῦ πνεύματος ἀγαπᾷ Κυρίου ὑπερασπίζειδ᾽ Ἔτῷ κατὰ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ. ἀγαπῶντιδϊ τὸν Θεὸν συντρέχειδ. τὸν ἀθετοῦντα τὸν ὕψιστον νουθετῶν ἐπιστρέφει καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα χάριν ἀγαθοῦ πνεύματος κατὰ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
30For where there is reverence for good works and light in the mind, even darkness fleeth away from him.
Ἐὰν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔχετε ἀγαθὴν ὃ διάνοιαν, καὶ οἱ πονηροὶ ἄνθρωποιδ Ἐεϊρηνεύσουσιν μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἄσωτοι αἰδεσθέντες ὑμᾶς ἐπιστρέψουσιν εἰς Ἐτὸ ἀγαθόν, καὶ πλεονεκτοῦντες οὐ μόνον ἀποστήσονται πάθους ἀλλὰ καὶ Ἐτὰ τῆς πλεονεξίας Ἐὰ εἶχον, δώσουσιν τοῖς θλιβομένοις.
31For if any one does violence to a holy man, he repenteth; for the holy man is merciful to his reviler, and holdeth his peace.
Ἐὰν ἧἦτε ἀγαθοποιοῦντες καὶ ἀκάθαρταϊδ πνεύματα φεύξονται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ θηρία Ἐφοβηθήσονται ὑμᾶς γὰρ ἔἕνι φόβος ἀγαθῶν ἔργων καὶ φῶς εἰς διάνοιαν καὶ τὸ σκότος ἀποδιδράσκει ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ. Ἐὰν γὰρ ὑβρίσει φῶς ἀγαἄνδρα ὅσιον μετανοεῖ ἐλεεῖ γὰρ ὅσιος τὸν λοίδωρον καὶ σιωπῇ. β--α, δὶ
32And if any one betrayeth a righteous man, the righteous man prayeth: though for a little he be humbled, yet not long after he appeareth far more glorious, as was Joseph my brother.
Κἄνδι τις Ἐδί.
33The inclination of the good man is not in the power of the deceit of the spirit of Beliar, for the angel of peace guideth his soul.
Κἄν τις ψυχὴν
34And he gazeth not passionately upon corruptible things, nor gathereth together riches through a desire of pleasure.
Καὶ ἐάν τις καιον προδώσει δικαίαν προδοίη, καὶ ὑβρίζῃ ψνχὴν διδίκαιος προσεύὁ δίκαιος προσευκαίαν, ἵπενθεῖ ὅτι χεται εἰ καὶ πρὸς ὅδ χόμενος πρὸςὀλίγον εἶδε ταπεινωθεῖσαν ὀλίγον ταπεινωθῇ, ταπεινωθῇ, οὐ καὶ μετεἘμετ᾽ οὐδὲ πολὺ πολὺ φαιδρότερος νόησε οἷος γέγοφαιδρότερος ἀναἀναφαίνεται, οἷος ὁ ἀδελφός φαίνεται, οἷος γέγέγονεν Ἰωσὴφ ὁ μου. γονενδδ Ἰωσὴφ ὁ ἀδελφός μου. ἀδελφός μου. διαβούλιον τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἀνδρὸς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν χειρὶ α΄, πλάνηςϊ πνεύματος Βελίαρ’ ὃ γὰρ ἄγγελος τῆς εἰρήνης πλάνου, ὁδηγεῖ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ. οὐχ ὁρᾷ Γὲμπαθῶς Ἐτὰ φθαρτάϑ, οὐδὲῖΐ συνάγειδ πλοῦτον φιληδονία.
35He delighteth not in pleasure, he grieveth not his neighbour, he sateth not himself with luxuries, he erreth not in the uplifting of the eyes, for the Lord is his portion.
36The good inclination receiveth not glory nor dishonour from men, and it knoweth not any guile, or lie, or fighting or reviling; for the Lord dwelleth in him and lighteth up his soul, and he rejoiceth towards all men .
Οὐ τέρπεται ἐν ἡδονῇ, λυπεῖ τὸν πλησίον, οὐκ ἐμπίπλαται τρυφῇ οὐ πλανᾶται μετεωρισμοῖς ὀφθαλμῶν Κύριος γάρ ἐστι ἡ μερὶ αὐτοῦ.
37The good mind hath not two tongues, of blessing and of cursing, of contumely and of honour, of sorrow and of joy, of quietness and of confusion, of hypocrisy and of truth, of poverty and of wealth; but it hath one disposition, uncorrupt and pure, concerning all men.
Τὸ ἀγαθὸν διαβούλιον οὐ δέχεται δόξης οὐκ πρίονα ἀνθρώπων, πάντα δόλον ἣ ψεῦδος ἢ μάχην ἢ λοιδωρίαν ἢ δόξαν καὶ οἷδε ἘΚύρων γὰρ ἐν αὐτῷ κατοικεῖ, καὶ φωτίζει τὴν ὁ ἀτιμίαν. ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ χαίρει πρὸς πάντας ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ.
38It hath no double sight, nor double hearing; for in everything which he doeth, or speaketh, or seeth, he knoweth that the Lord looketh on his soul.
Ἡ ἀγαθὴ διάνοια οὐκ ἔχει δύο γλώσσας εὐλογίας καὶ κατάρας, ὕβρεως καὶ τιμῆς ἡσυχίας καὶ ταραχῇς, χάρες, ἔχει περὶ πάντας εἰλικρινῇ καὶ καθαρὰν διάθεσινϊ. Οὐκ ἔχει οὔτε ἀκοὴνδ᾽ διπλῆν γὰρ ποιεῖ, ἰδ λαλεῖ, Ἐὴἣ ὁρᾷδ, οἷδεν ὅτι Κύριος ἔπισκέπτει τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.
39And he cleanseth his mind that he may not be condemned by men as well as by God.
Καὶ καθαίρει τὴν ὑπὸ διάνοιαν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸ μὴ καταγνωσθῆναι ὁπὸ ἀνθρώπων, ὁμοίως καὶ ὁπὸ Θεοῦ. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τοῦ Βελίαρ τὰ ἔργα καὶ διπλᾶ ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπλότητα ἐν αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἔχουσιν τοῦτο, τέκνα μου, λέγω ὑμῖν φεύγετε τὴν δὲ πᾶν κακίαν Τἶτοῦ Βελίαρ ὅτι μάχαιραν δίδωσιν τοῖς πειθομένοις ἔργον͵
40And in like manner the works of Beliar are twofold, and there is no singleness in them.
Ἧ δὲ μάχαιρα
41Therefore, my children, I tell you, flee the malice of Beliar; for he giveth a sword to them that obey him.
Ἢ δὲ μάχαιρα
42And the sword is the mother of seven evils. First the mind conceiveth through Beliar, and first there is bloodshed; secondly ruin; thirdly, tribulation; fourthly, exile; fifthly, dearth; sixthly, panic; seventhly, destruction.
43'Therefore was Cain also delivered over to seven vengeances by God, for in every hundred years the Lord brought one plague upon him.
Καὶ ἡ μάχαιρά ᾿ς τα. ἑπτὰ κακῶν μήτηρ ἑπτὰ κακῶν μήτηρ ἐστι ἑπτὰ κακῶν οὐχ ἁπλότης. ἐστί. Ἐπρῶτον σνλλαμβάνει ἡ διά.νοιαδιὰ τοῦ Καὶ ἔστιν πρῶδεύτερον ἡ πώλειαϊ, τρίτον ἡ θλίψις, τέταρτον ἡ θεηλασία, πέμπτον ἡ ἔνδεια, ἕκτον ἡ ἐστί πρῶτον συλλαμβάνει ἡ διάνοια διὰ τοῦ Βελίαρ ἔστιν δὲ ὅτε τίκτει πρῶτον ἴφθόνον, δεύτερον Τὰἀπώλειαν, τρίτον θλίψιν, τέταρτον αἰχμαλωσίαν, πέμπτον ἔνκτονταραχήν, μήτηρ, καὶ λαμβάνει διὰ τοῦ Βελίαρ καὶ ἔστι πρῶτον φθόνος, δεύτερον ἀπώλεια, τρίτον θλίψις, τέταρτὸν αἰχμαλωσίαϊδ, πέμπτον ἔνδεια,ἕκτον ταραχήϊἶ, ἕβδομον ἐρήμωσις. ταραχή, ἕβδομον ἡ ἕβδομον ἐρήμωσω. ἐρήμωσις.
44And when he was two hundred years old he began to suffer, and in the nine-hundredth year he was destroyed.
Διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὁ Κἀϊν ἑπτὰ ἐκδικίαις παρεδόθη ὑπὸ Θεοῦ. κατὰ Ἐξ ἑκατοστὸν ἔτος μίαν πληγὴν ἐπήγαγεν Ἐξπ᾿ αὐτὸν Κύριος.
45For on account of Abel, his brother, with -all the evils was he judged, but Lamech with seventy times seven.
Διακοσίων ἐτῶν πάσχει
46Because for ever those, who are like Cain in envy and hatred of brethren, shall be punished with the same judgement.
Διακοσίων ἐτῶν καὶ ἐννακοσιοστῷ ἔτει ἐρησχειδὅϑ, καὶ ἐννακοσιοστῷ μοῦται. διὰ ᾿Αβὲλ τὸν ἐρημοῦταιδ ἐπὶ τοῦ καταὅτι συλλαμβάνει ἧ διάνοια διὰ τοῦ Βελίαρ καὶ ἑπτὰ κακῶν μήτηρ γίνεται καὶ ἔστι συλλαμβάνει ἡ διάνοια τὸ πονηρὸν διὰ τῆς κακίας τοῦ Βελίαρ, ἔστιν δὲ ὅταν τίκτει πρῶτον. ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ πᾶσι τοῖς κλυσμοῦ διὰ ᾿Αβὲλ τὸν κακοῖς ἐκρίνετο, δὲ Λαμὲχ δίκαιον ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ. ἐν ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.
