[recto, 1] + O Lord, my God, he to whom I look, [2] he who is seated upon the chariots of the [3] cherubim, the seraphim are around him, [4] he who is mounted upon the Four Living Creatures; [5] Michael, Gabriel the archangel, O [6] cherubim and seraphim, Hrabuēl, [7] Souriel, Koukkouēl, he who is seated [8] upon his throne with his beloved son, [9] and all those who have been named, and the place where [10] it will be placed, and the angel of the church: [11] you will strike Prēstasia and Tnounte and [12] Ebōnh, swiftly, well! You will annihilate them [13] like they annihilated him! You will bring down [14] upon them the anger of your wrath and your outstretched arm, [15] like you obliterated Somorrah and Gomorrah [16] through the anger of your wrath! You will obliterate [17] the one who has committed this act of violence! You will bring about [18] the retribution of Enoch against them! Like the blood [19] of Abel called out to Cain, his brother, the blood [20] of this miserable man will call out until you avenge him [21] against those who have committed this act of violence against him! Eloei, Eloei [22] that is, O Lord Sabaoth, you will bring your wrath [23] down upon them in a disturbance! He in whose hands is every breath, [24] he who formed the world, you will [25] overthrow them, in haste! The people who have committed this act of violence, [26] yea, O Lord Sabaoth, you will avenge him in [27] haste! [verso, 1] He who will open this papyrus and read it, the things which are written [2] on it will come upon him, by order of the Lord God. ⳨ |
