Ascension of Isaiah 1
1
And it came to pass in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah that he called Manasseh his son. Now he was his only one.
2
And he called him into the presence of Isaiah the son of Amoz the prophet, and into the presence of Josab the son of Isaiah, in order to deliver unto him the words of righteousness which the king himself had seen.
3
And of the eternal judgments and the torments of Gehenna, and of the prince of this world, and of his angels, and his authorities, and his powers.
4
And of the words of the faith of the Beloved which he himself had seen in the fifteenth year of his reign during his illness.
5
And he delivered to him the written words which Samnas the scribe had written, and also those which Isaiah the son of Amoz had given to him, and also to the prophets.
6
That they might write and store up with him what he himself had seen in the house of the king regarding the judgment of the angels, and the destruction of this world, and regarding the garments of the saints and their going forth, and regarding their transformation and the persecution and ascension of the Beloved.
7
In the twentieth year of the reign of Hezekiah, Isaiah had seen the words of this prophecy and had delivered them to Josab his son. And whilst he Hezekiah gave commands, Josab the son of Isaiah standing by.
8
Isaiah said to Hezekiah the king, but not in the presence of Manasseh only, did he say unto him:
9
As the Lord liveth, whose name has not been sent into this world, and as the Beloved of my Lord liveth, and as the Spirit which speaketh in me liveth, all these commands and these words will be made of none effect by Manasseh thy son, and through the agency of his hands I shall depart amid the torture of my body.
10
And Sammael Malkira will serve Manasseh according to all his will, and he will become a follower of Beliar rather than of me.
11
And many in Jerusalem and in Judaea he will cause to depart from the true faith, and Beliar will dwell in Manasseh and by his hands I shall be sawn asunder.
12
And when Hezekiah heard these words, he wept very bitterly, and he rent his garments, and he placed earth upon his head, and he fell on his face.
13
And Isaiah said unto him: The counsel of Sammael against Manasseh is consummated: naught will avail thee.
