2 Meqabyan 20:1-14

¹Believe me, all the work we did in this world will not remain hidden when we stand before Him in fear and trembling.

²In the hour when we have no provisions for our path and no clothes for our bodies.

³In the hour when we have no staff for our hands or shoes for our feet.

⁴And in the hour when we do not know the paths where the demons take us - whether it be slippery or smooth, dark, filled with thorns or nettles, or a depth of water or a pit.

⁵We will not know the demons who take us, nor will we hear their words.

⁶As they are black ones and lead us toward darkness, we will not see their faces.

⁷As the prophet spoke, saying: In the hour my soul was separated from my flesh - Lord, my Lord, You know my path. They hid a trap on the path where I went, and I looked to return to the right, but I lacked anyone who knew me.

⁸Because he knows the demons ridicule him and will lead him toward a path he does not know, he speaks this.

⁹He is alone among demons, and there is no one who knows him.

¹⁰Angels of Light, who are subtle, are sent to the righteous to receive their souls and take them toward a place of Light - toward the Garden where welfare is found.

¹¹Demons and Angels of Darkness are sent to receive the sinners and take them toward Gehenna, which was prepared for them.

¹²Woe to the souls of sinners who are taken toward destruction, who have no welfare or rest, no escape from the tribulation that finds them, and no departure from Gehenna for all eternity.

¹³Because they lived firmly in the work of Cain, perished by the price of Balaam's iniquity, and lacked a plan - woe to the sinners.

¹⁴They shall receive their hardship in Gehenna for the sins they committed.
