1
After this I saw, and the messenger who spoke with me and conducted me said: 'Understand, Yeshayahu son of Amotz, for for this purpose I was sent from Elohim.'
2
And I saw an ishah from the family of Daviyd the prophet, named Miryam, a virgin, betrothed to an ish named Yoseph, a craftsman; and he also was from the Seed and family of the righteous Daviyd of Beit-Lechem in Yehudah.
3
And she came into his lot. And when she was betrothed, she was found with child, and Yoseph desired to release her quietly.
4
But the messenger of the Ruach appeared in this world, and afterward Yoseph did not release her, but guarded Miryam and revealed the matter to no one.
5
And he did not approach Miryam, but guarded her as a set-apart virgin though she was with child.
6
And he did not dwell with her as husband and wife for two months.
7
And after two months of days, while Yoseph was in his house and Miryam his ishah, and both were alone,
8
it came to pass that Miryam suddenly looked with her eyes and saw a small infant, and she was astonished.
9
And after she was astonished, her womb was found as it had been before she conceived.
10
And when Yoseph her husband said to her: 'What astonished you?' his eyes were opened and he saw the infant; and he praised Elohim because Elohim had come into his portion.
11
And a voice came to them: 'Tell this vision to no one.'
12
And the report concerning the infant spread abroad in Beit-Lechem.
13
Some said: 'The virgin Miryam has borne a child before two months of marriage had passed.'
14
And many said: 'She has not borne a child; no midwife went up to her, nor did we hear cries of labor.' And they were blinded concerning Him; they all knew of Him, yet did not know from where He came.
15
And they took Him and went to Natzeret in Galil.
16
And I saw, Chizqiyahu and Yosab my son, and I declare also to the other prophets standing nearby, that this escaped the notice of all the heavens and all the rulers and all the elohim of this world.
17
And I saw that in Natzeret He nursed at the breast as an infant according to the custom, so that He might not be recognized.
18
And when He had grown, He performed great signs and wonders in the land of Yisra'el and in Yerushalayim.
19
And afterward the adversary envied Him and stirred up the children of Yisra'el against Him, not knowing who He was; and they handed Him over to the ruler, and He was executed upon a tree, and He descended to the messenger of Sheol.
20
And in Yerushalayim I saw Him being executed upon a tree.
21
And I saw Him rise again after the third day and remain for appointed days.
22
And the messenger conducting me said: 'Understand, Yeshayahu.' And I saw when He sent out the Twelve emissaries and ascended.
23
And I saw Him in the firmament; He had not transformed Himself into their form, and all the messengers of the firmament and the satans saw Him and bowed before Him.
24
And there was great sorrow among them as they said: 'How did our Master descend among us while we did not perceive the glory which we now see upon Him from the sixth heaven?'
25
And He ascended into the second heaven, and He did not transform Himself; and all the messengers upon the right and left and the throne in the midst
26
bowed before Him and praised Him, saying: 'How did our Master escape our notice while descending, and we did not perceive Him?'
27
And in the same manner He ascended into the third heaven, and they praised and spoke in the same way.
28
And in the fourth heaven and the fifth they spoke precisely in the same manner.
29
And He bore one glory, and from it He did not transform Himself.
30
And I saw when He ascended into the sixth heaven, and they bowed before Him and glorified Him.
31
And through all the heavens the praise increased in strength.
32
And I saw how He ascended into the seventh heaven, and all the righteous and all the messengers praised Him. Then I saw Him sit at the right hand of that Great Glory whose glory, as I told you, I was unable to behold.
33
And I also saw the messenger of Holy Ruach sitting at the left.
34
And this messenger said to me: 'Yeshayahu son of Amotz, it is enough for you, for you have seen what no child of flesh has seen.'
35
'And you shall return into your garment of flesh until your days are completed. Then you shall come here.'
36
These things Yeshayahu saw and told to all who stood before him, and they praised. And he spoke to Chizqiyahu the king and said: 'I have spoken these things.'
37
And he spoke concerning the completion of this world.
38
And all this vision shall be fulfilled in the last generations.
39
And Yeshayahu made Chizqiyahu swear that he would not tell these things to the people of Yisra'el nor give these words to any ish to transcribe.
40
And he said: 'You shall read these things and keep watch in Holy Ruach so that you may receive your garments, thrones, and crowns of glory which are stored in the seventh heaven.'
41
Because of these visions and prophecies Samma'el Satan caused Yeshayahu son of Amotz the prophet to be sawn apart through the hand of Menasheh.
42
And all these things Chizqiyahu delivered to Menasheh in the twenty-sixth year.
43
But Menasheh did not remember them or place them in his heart; becoming a servant of Satan, he was destroyed. Here ends the vision of Yeshayahu the prophet and his ascension.
